Tsumo Omakase

I had a wonderful experience at this sushi restaurant. Chef Simon was incredibly attentive and put so much care into every dish he prepared. You can really tell that he is passionate about his craft. What made the experience even better was that he took the time to explain each piece of sushi, including the ingredients and flavors, which made the meal both enjoyable and educational. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. Highly recommend this place, especially if you have the chance to sit at the counter and watch Chef Simon at work.

Had the best experience at Tsumo! The vibe was super chill but still classy, and everything from start to finish was amazing. Our chef, Simon, was incredible — every dish he made was on point! You can tell he really knows what he’s doing and loves what he does. Each plate looked beautiful and tasted even better. He also took the time to explain what he was serving, which made it feel really personal and fun. The staff were super friendly and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in NYC loved the kyoto matcha IPA!!! — can’t wait to go back!

Lovely little spot for omakase! Our chef was helpful with describing each piece we had and it was a good experience, especially for some first timers. I could really appreciate the flavors and textures in each set. I loved the unagi so much I went for the a la carte options after the course set.

One of the best Omakase’s for the price in the city. Amazing ambience and the sushi is top notch. Sushi was fresh and the presentation was beautiful. Chef Simon is the best! Second time going and sitting at Simon’s station and he did not disappoint. Simon’s attention to detail and his shownanship are amazing. Great food and a great show. The Kyoto White Yuzu beer and the Nanbu Bijin Sake were amazing as well.

This omakase spot was absolutely amazing! The food was super fresh, no fishy taste at all, unlike some even more expensive places I’ve tried before. The price is very reasonable and the value you get is incredible. Our sushi chef Jeremy was not only highly skilled but also really fun to chat with, which made the whole experience even better. To be honest, it might be the best value omakase restaurant in all of New York!

Had a great time tonight at Tsumo! All thanks goes to Jeremy, our chef. He was very friendly and explained patiently about what each piece of sushi was. Jeremy is also very skillful in making the pieces. Everything was delicious and of amazing quality and beautiful. Service was also great and our waitress was very attentive. I love the atmosphere. Will definitely come back and I highly recommend Tsumo and Jeremy!

Our chef was very kind and good at his job. The food was quite good for the price. I didn’t have high expectations for such an affordable omakase but I was happy with every piece the chef made. Since it’s an open kitchen you can see every move the chef makes. I questioned the cleanliness of the kitchen. There was a chef that would use one washcloth to wipe the kitchen counter, knife, cutting board, and then just run it over water and reuse it over and over again. The chefs were opening fridge doors with their gloved hands that they used to make the sushi. Things like that bothered me a bit and that’s why I gave 4 stars

currently going viral on social media because of how affordable it is. i expected them to churn us out and i was correct. there was really no consideration for pacing. each piece kept coming and there were times i had two pieces in queue because i actually was chatting with my friend versus slamming down the nigiri. tbh it was to be expected given the price point and their business model. i loved everything (except for the salmon). i found it to be tasteless. otherwise, the flavors were fresher than your typical sushi joint and pretty straightforward. separately, i didn't like the plates they chose because you can see the sushi sweat left on the plate… not cute.

I was in town for a quick weekend trip and had seen Tsumo on TikTok, so wanted to give it a try. At $58 for a 13 course omakase, you really can't beat this deal! Every piece of sashimi was so incredibly fresh and melt in your mouth. Even with some fish I typically don't like (I'm looking at you, shrimp), Tsumo just knocked it out of the park. This is a very great date spot, especially if you want to just sit and enjoy yourself for 90 minutes.

The food here was amazing I felt the sushi offered was delicious and high quality. I loved the truffle piece. The restaurant is cute and fitting feels hidden in a cool way. I will say it does feel rushed I think a little more enthusiasm or explanation of the pieces would have been nice. You get what you pay for though and if you just care about the sushi and not the whole experience it is definitely worth it.

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 This was my first omakase experience and it was unbelievable. Our chef, Jeremy, was a pure-hearted and focused chef that entertained all of our questions as he crafted each course. All 13 courses were great, with the o toro and ebi being my personal favorites. The service was also attentive, as my water was filled up consistently. A lot of other reviews mention how the pacing was fast, but we had ample time to chat with our chef and eat. However, the room had 20+ people which was a little loud for my liking. I recommend getting a table at tsumo if you want to try omakase without burning down the bank.

10/10 AMAZING omakase. Very affordable and tasty. $58 per person which is a steal for 13 pieces. The fish was all very fresh and the ambiance was unbeatable. I wasn't able to get photos of everything, but trust me, everything tasted as good as it looked. The combinations of flavors and textures were impeccable. I loved it so much here and I plan on going again when I visit NYC again. The best bites for me were the O toro, Madai, and Unagi. Amazing! They also give you the cutest little postcards at the end. Make your reservation ASAP and stop by!

As my bestie and I have been on our ongoing omakase journey - this is one of those places that we have seen all over our Tiktok. We decided to make our reservation online and come here on a Friday night for dinner - highly recommend making a reservation since they are pretty packed. It is one of the "fast casual" omakase places - $58 for 13 course and it's 75 minutes. If you are looking for a traditional omakase where the chef spends time chatting with the guest then you will not find that here. They will introduce each item and describe what it is but that is pretty much it. The place itself if super spacious - they check everyone in at the time of the reservation and then seat everyone. Everyone was very polite and everything moves very quickly. There was a good variety of different fishes with different types of topping. They did not have that many torched fish and I think the only item they did torch was the Waygu which I really liked. The flavors were not too strong and complimented the fish well. You can order extra at the end but we were pretty full so we did not order any additional extras. Overall - a good fast casual omakase place to check out!

Nice spot for a quick and affordable omakase. Still left feeling a wee bit hungry but it was satisfying for sure! We came 15 min before opening and people were already allowed inside waiting, which was nice because I needed to use the restroom. Seating is only for an hour, reservations recommended. We booked the day of but it was completely full during our seating. It's a pretty efficient operation, the chef to customer ratio felt like it was around 1:5. They kept our water glasses full. There are 2 restrooms in the back. You get 13 pieces and the menu changes slightly from time to time. At the end, you can reorder any additional pieces or order items that were not on the omakase menu (à la carte is a bit expensive). Our chef was very friendly and explained each piece, and asked us for our thoughts every now and then. One thing I did not love is the smell of gas / smoke from the blow torch, which was used for quite a few dishes.

I chose this spot because it seems to offer fresh omakase at a decent price. The fish was all so fresh, I loved all the little details added to each piece. My favorite pieces were the O Toro (I got another piece at the end), Sake - salmon with added fried leeks, and the Toro handroll. My husband got the fancy wagyu hotate truffle a la carte which he said was smokey and the scallop was a nice balance to the wagyu. It was a faster omakase than the others, 1 hour but it didn't seem super rushed, just very efficient. Definitely recommend making a reservation! This was the Lunch Omakase $48/pp during November: 11 courses - Madai, Hamachi, Ebi, Ikura, Hotate, Kanpachi, Zuke Akami, O toro, Sake, Unagi, Toro handroll, A la carte $20 Wagyu hotate truffle The interior was cozy and they lit an incense.

Quality was amazing. Each course was timed very well and the chef was very kind. There were three different tables/counters so pretty packed in there. Things are very well run they definitely keep to their schedule. Overall very good price for the meal considering it's omakase. The postcards were also so cute.

Tsumo Omakase has jumped up to one of the best omakases I've had in Manhattan. Made a reservation the night before. I loved that Tsumo fits so many people into their space but it doesn't feel cramped or loud at all! $58 for 13 courses. Of the 13 courses we received, I thought 6 were some of the best bites I've ever tried (toro, wagyu, kanpachi). Very buttery, well-balanced, unique flavors. The other 7 were pretty good and still enjoyable. I think the price for this quality and quantity of courses is totally worth it. :) We also ordered their Yuzu Cocktail [5/5] and the matcha beer [5/5] which were great additions to our meal and well-priced. Service was okay-- wasn't the friendliest I've experienced at omakase but they did feel professional.

Make a reservation. They only allow about 15 people per seating . It is a wonderful sampling I personally like my fish to be on the colder side. I found this fish to be lukewarm. The flavors were very nice. They're simple yet complex. Very nice selection of Sakes No gimmick just delicious fish Usually takes about 50 to 60 minutes to finish .

Great omakase spot for a good price point, especially during lunch time! 13 courses for $58. Not my favorite omakase spot in the city, but definitely a good choice for saving the wallet! Plus the quality of fish is good! My personal favorites were the salmon belly and toro.

Great experience and great value! Made a reservation about 2 weeks prior. Got here 10 minutes before the reservation time. They sat everyone down at their seat. First time having omakase! 13 courses for $58 is such a great deal. It was delicious and the quality was great. I think my favorite were the salmon belly, botan ebi, and scallop!

Such a good deal for omakase ($48 pp for an 11-course lunch)! My partner and I made a lunch reservation about 3 weeks in advance after receiving a recommendation from a friend. It appears that there are around 18 slots available for lunch, as each of the 3 chefs took care of 6 guests. Our chef was very kind & made personalized adjustments after some guests noted that they preferred less wasabi. This was my first time experiencing such specialized bites, with toppings such as caviar and salmon roe. I did find the rice to be on the wetter side (not sure if that's how traditional omakase is), but that would be my main feedback. On top of the food being delicious, the background music was lofi renditions of pop songs. I tried using Shazam, but it was sadly unable to pick up on the titles of the songs. Overall, I would highly recommend Tsumo for a relaxing ambiance to enjoy a reasonably priced omakase experience. I will definitely be recommending this spot to friends!

The omakase is $58 pp which is a good deal, but the entire experience feels very rushed and crammed in 1 hour. When we got there, the lobby was jam packed because everyone is seated at once and they fit a lot of people. The sushi chefs don't get any breaks making one course after another. There's also not really any service outside of seating you / getting the check. At the end of the day, it was just 13 pieces of high quality fish. I would rather just get take out instead of dining here, if you're trying to cut costs. Still could be a good omakase experience if it's your first time getting omakase, but there's for sure better omakase places at similar value / price point in the city.

Had an awesome birthday dinner here!!! The restaurant has two chef counters and it gets pretty noisy which is the only downside. Otherwise, the service was awesome and the value for the meal was incredible. $58 for 13 courses?? And we got all my faves (scallop, shrimp, uni) but just not wagyu. I appreciate that there was a print out of all the pieces we were getting -- it made it easy to follow along. And at the end, I got one extra shrimp a la carte ($10). There's also a good amount of different drinks available (I tried a matcha IPA which was good). For my birthday, I got a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a candle in it, and our server sang happy birthday to me which was so sweet.

$48 per person for 11 courses! Found this omakase place on instagram and gave it a try. The restaurant is very clean and we were seated very quickly. Each piece of nigiri was made fresh in front of you, one by one. Each piece is unique and none of them disappointed you. The quality is great in this price range, and we had a great time here!

Really great quality omakase for the price. It is definitely a more casual and less intimate spot, with large space for many guests. The noise level was definitely louder than some other spots due to the space, but it did not bother me too much. Dinner was 13 courses for $58 and 75 minutes, which is very reasonably priced for NYC. I enjoyed each piece, and particularly loved the Otoro piece. Our chef was polite and efficient. I would definitely return for a casual omakase dinner if I'm in the area!

Honestly the best price for an omakase experience with great flavors and great chefs. Prices outside of the omakase are very high. The interior is very nice and the chefs are very good. Parking is near impossible though. Service was on point. Beginning to end.

currently going viral on social media because of how affordable it is. i expected them to churn us out and i was correct. there was really no consideration for pacing. each piece kept coming and there were times i had two pieces in queue because i actually was chatting with my friend versus slamming down the nigiri. tbh it was to be expected given the price point and their business model. i loved everything (except for the salmon). i found it to be tasteless. otherwise, the flavors were fresher than your typical sushi joint and pretty straightforward. separately, i didn't like the plates they chose because you can see the sushi sweat left on the plate... not cute.

I honestly can't think of a better way to spend $58 on a night out. Twelve pieces of fresh, perfectly prepared nigiri and a toro hand roll -- all made right in front of you, and every bite was clean, balanced, and delicious. The décor is minimalist, letting the food take center stage. One small wish: a wider wine selection would be lovely for those of us who prefer vino over sake or soju.

Continues to be one of my favorite places for affordable, quality omakase experience! They are friendly and well organized, serving omakase for under $50 if you go during lunch. It is a little bit quick since they're on a tight schedule, by for the fish and quality, I don't mind.

This may be my favorite omakase place yet. I was very impressed by the quality of the fish as well as the pricing of the courses. It was $58 per person for 13 courses, which was a great deal given how great the quality of the cuts were. The flavors of each piece were well-balanced with the amount of rice and wasabi. My favorite pieces included the botan ebi, hotate, and zuke akami. It was easy to make a reservation 1-2 days in advance for dinner on a weekday. They had a lot of seating options and seem to be the ideal space for larger parties. I would definitely come here again in the future.

Insanely good omakase, especially for the price. Wonderful, attentive staff. I'd come every week if I lived nearby :')

I love this place. I would consider this my favorite omakase with a reasonable price! I enjoy the set omakase list and there are additional add ons you can choose from at the end. The service is great and I love all the sushi chefs. Great ambience and good seatings Tip I would grab a reservation!

Truly one of my favorite omakase spots in the city! 13 courses for $58 for dinner and it was really easy to get a reservation. Really clean ambiance and restroom. My favorite piece is probably the o toro and scallop, but everything tasted super fresh and I loved all the toppings. They also give you a paper with all the pieces on it so you know what you're eating. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for an affordable omakase!

At $58 for 13 pieces, I thought it was a solid omakase spot! Personally, I was still hungry but I still enjoyed my meal here and thought it was good for its price. The chef was attentive, focused and friendly. I enjoyed every piece and some were fun to eat with different enhancements and textural elements. My favorite bites were the shrimp, tuna with caviar, and the fatty tuna. I do think that some pieces weren't consistent in terms of rice to fish ratio. Some pieces of mine compared to those next to me seemed different and at times, there wasn't enough rice to keep the piece together. Other than that, I enjoyed my time and meal here!

A great value for you money! They offer $48 for 11 courses during lunch and everything was delicious. We had a reservation for 2pm and they quickly sat us down at the booth and were ready to serve us. Everyone there had the omakase and our favorite was the otoro with caviar. The ambiance was very relaxing and great for talking and going on a date. The playlist was great too! They played modern instrumental songs.

With simple but satisfying pieces, reasonable prices, and good vibes, Tsumo definitely punches above its weight. Went for a late dinner on a weekday with a reservation. Was seated promptly and served pretty quickly. Each sushi chef had around five clients so the pace of each piece was good. There's an efficiency to every aspect of the restaurant that you can appreciate. My favorites included the ikura, the zuke akame, and the wagyu, but each piece was yummy, which is rare in for omakase. It's clear they've tuned the course to be satisfying instead of edgy. The only controversial bit might be the rice, which had a notably crumbly texture. This is a repeat restaurant for me, which given all the exciting new places to try in Manhattan, is high praise. I look forward to returning in the future.

Delicious omakase. The restaurant is very cute and has a unique seating schedule where all guests are seated in a round at one time. Each section of seating has a chef, and you can watch them prepare your sushi. Excellent experience

Loved this experience!!! High quality fish for the very affordable price. Loved the different flavor combinations- some were very simple but packed with flavor. Also first time trying this matcha beer & LOVED! Has me hooked now. The additional Wagyu piece was wonderful. Staff were helpful & friendly. This was probably the largest omakase seating I've seen- closer to maybe 40/50 seats? So not as intimate but still was wonderful & would return!

I had a pretty disappointing experience here. While the price was good for what we got, the servers kept rushing us to finish our food -- they would stack multiple pieces of sushi on our plate to make us eat faster, come around multiple times to ask us if we were done with our sake and try to pour more in our glasses even when we said "we are taking it slow", and would mumble some of the description of the pieces to us while me and my friend were still chatting to sort of just "do their job" of explaining what the piece was without giving us a second to enjoy our food. On top of that, I said I do not like ebi, and they replaced it with kanpachi... which is not only a piece that is cheaper than the Ebi in price, but also is a repeat of another piece on the menu! I ended up eating two kanpachis (the only different was a small topping), which I was pretty disappointed by. Typically, when I cannot eat a certain fish, the chef replaces it with something else so I can get the true omakase experience, instead of having me eat two the same piece. Lastly.... the rice was extremely loose and kept falling apart.

Return or not return? Return. Mandarin speaking staff, polite and professional. Expect to still feel hungry when you leave the 60 minutes efficient 13-course dinner service. For price, $58 + ~$10 in some absurd NY tax, can't beat it for NYC. The last 2-courses were clearly the weakest. Wagyu blah. Kanpachi and Toro were faves. Regardless, clear attention to quality. Last thing you notice is if you're over 30, you'll be on the old side for demographics.

I came to Tsumo Omakase with some friends around 2:00, which was their opening hours. Reservations are required and we choose the 1 hr long experience. Our chef provided us with 11 different sushi selections, and we also added on two additional sushi add-ons. We were celebrating a birthday, so they also gave us complimentary ice cream. The atmosphere inside was beautiful, with flower decor and an aesthetic appearance. Our chef was friendly and skilled, and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back again!

This place was quite the experience. I came here with a party of six because this omakase was recommended by friends and social media. Food: 5/5 We were excited to try all the varieties of sushis and nigiris. My favorites were the chu toro and Wagyu. The meal with drinks came out to about $80 per person which was great given the high quality of fish and the attention to detail the Chef puts in. If you come here, I recommend getting the Omakase. Service: 5/5 The chef was great and explained all of the sushi and the accompany toppings. The food is made right in front of you so it is a dinner and a show. Our waiters were attentive and refilled water once our glass got empty. I recommend coming here for the omakase but also take some time to admire the delicacy and attention to detail when handling the fish. Ambiance: 5/5 This place was perfect for omakase. It was small and intimate yet big enough to seat large parties. I would recommend this place for a date night or to celebrate special occasions.

I want to say for the price it was a good deal, as far as the quality it was average. We paid $58 for the 13- course omakase. You can also do a la carte after if you want, they have specials to choose from. We opted out. Considering the chef was meh, not really personable as other chefs around us. My top 3 favorites was the botan ebi (creamy texture for sweet shrimp ) , zuke akami & o toro. The staff was pretty quick with getting us water etc. the atmosphere was modern and spacious. There was 3 other tables next to us probably for about 30ish people ? With 3 chefs per pod I want to say. I've heard great things about other locations but thankfully NYC has plenty of other omakase options to try!

$58 for 13 courses - a solid NYC Omakase place! My group of 3 had a reservation for 7:30pm; we came around 7pm to checkin and they put us in this front waiting area. Each dinner wave is 75 minutes and they serve checks to people after their limit has been reached. The staff were friendly: definitely on the younger side. We also got a Yuzu Cocktail and Lychee Cocktail; both were very sweet and you couldn't taste much of the alchohol. Sashimi was fresh and my favorites were O-toro and Chu-toro! Their flavors are more basic but still good quality.

Had the best experience at Tsumo NYC! The vibe was super chill but still classy, and everything from start to finish was amazing. super adorable for 13 course, $58 for dinner. Our chef, Simon, was incredible -- every dish he made was delicious! You can tell he really knows what he's doing and loves what he does. It was great being able to watch him prepare every dish. Each plate looked beautiful and tasted even better. He also took the time to explain what he was serving, which made it feel really personal and fun. The staff were super friendly and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Definitely one of the best meals I've had in NYC I also ordered an item off their specials, way scallop with truffle nigiri best way to end off my meal -- can't wait to go back!

After hearing about it, I finally made reservations and tried it! Treated my mom for a birthday meal and she loved it. It was quite affordable at $58 for 13 course omakase and the quality was SUPERB. Every bite was delicious and if I had to pick top three faves from the omakase, they would be the o-toro (most fatty tuna with caviar), Botan ebi (sweet shrimp) and Chu-toro( fatty tuna with truffle). I love uni so I also ordered the Hokkaido uni from the a la carte menu and was glad I did. They put a generous amount of uni and it was so buttery and delicious. They have my mom a scoop of coffee ice cream since it was her birthday which was a nice sweet treat to end on. Place is an absolute gem and I'm so glad I tried it. Make reservations!

Visit date: December 2024 All bar seats - everyone gets to watch them prepare the sushi. Sushi rice was perfectly textured and seasoned lightly. Great value for $58 omakase Madai - loved the texture of this fish and the quick flame over it. Yellowtail - standard Botan ebi - shrimp was very fresh and wasabi gave it a nice kick Ikura - surprisingly sweet and did not taste salty at all Scallop - wasabi was a bit too overpowering on this one, but scallop was very soft Uni - creamy and oceany, taste lingers in mouth Kanpachi with crispy onion - fish was chewy Zuke akami with radish - fish melts in mouth and it reminded me of mashed potatoes Chu toro with black truffle - black truffle was thick and gave the Chu toro an earthy flavor. Fish was a generous portion and had good texture O toro with caviar - fish was seared and topped off with caviar! Full of umami, easily my favorite bite. Had to get another piece Salmon with fried leeks - standard, leeks gave it a nice hint of sweetness Unagi - eel was torched, seaweed could be toasted more

A solid spot for affordable omakase -- $58 for 13 courses, best deal I've found. They're pretty traditional (fish, wasabi, rice) but have fun toppings like onion crunch, fried leek, pickled daikon. My favorite bites were Chu Toro Truffle, Scallop with Yuzu Chili, Salmon with Leek -- everything was great. The chef here was clearly an expert at his craft and so fun -- we love Simon! Bonus points for printing out the menu in order because I like knowing what I'm eating.

1st time here, 2nd omakase experience. 5/5 11- course omakase ($48)- This was filling enough for us, but may not be for most other people 5/5 seared o toro- sooo buttery, rich, heavenly, melt in your mouth- foodgasm. 5/5 seared- yellowtail - anything seared is amazing cuz of that smoky flavor 5/5 kanpachi w/ crispy onion- The crispy onion tastes like sour cream & onion chips, so good. 5/5 salmon w/ dried leek - I love anything onion, scallion, leek, chive flavored. 4/5 botan ebi & scallop- wasabi too strong 3/5 ikura- strong & a bit salty cuz of the roe. Everything else was also really good: madai, zuke akami, unagi & toro hand roll. I'd def go back.

Tsumo was absolutely amazing for the price point. Every piece of fish was huge, juicy and tasty. The rice to fish ratio was great while the actual rice itself was not too sour or sweet, just right. I would have to say my favorite piece was the salmon and leek, it was so interesting I've never tried anything like it before. The uni was super sweet. The eel was so tender, actually a little too salty but besides that amazing. I loved the truffle piece too. Absolutely lovely. The ambience was good and seating was in a timely manner.

Got a reservation for a 7:30 PM Friday night seating and really enjoyed our time at Tsumo. This definitely isn't a high frill fancy Omakase spot, but the fish is delicious and fresh, and the price is really good. There is a solid chance that the annual want to order additional pieces from the specials menu or just get some additional à la carte pieces so keep that in mind that even with 13 courses most people were ordering extra. Will definitely be back!

$58 for 13 course omakase! This place is so worth the price. All the pieces were fresh and a good size cut. The only thing I didn't really like was the uni, they said it was from Maine. My friend said it's usually Hokkaido uni, so I was a bit disappointed that they changed it to Maine uni that evening. I also asked to substitute the ikura piece and he gave me another salmon w/ fried leek piece which was delicious. It was my friend's birthday as well and she got a scoop of coffee ice-cream which I found strange, at other places, it's usually either vanilla/chocolate/strawberry/green tea. My friend did also mention that the UWS location gave her friend a handroll for her birthday, which is def more worth. The servers were nice and they constantly refilled my water. The place was dimly lit and they have plenty of seating. Overall great omakase spot, will definitely be coming back.

Food - I won't go into each dish since it was 13 courses, but just know every single piece I had sent me through a cataclysmic experience that my mind has never seen before. I'm usually not a fan of ikura and uni bc I've only had low quality versions of it before. But it was so good here I honestly enjoyed eating them, which is saying a lot. Each piece was extremely fresh and had a light springy texture. My personal favorite was the chu toro. Service - tbh the service here is kinda mid. The servers don't really seem like they want to be there and the chef doesn't really talk to any of the customers. This isn't to say that the service was BAD, but I think service is held to a higher scrutiny during omakase as it's usually a more quiet, and more intimate environment. I say this because the positioning of the seats in omakase is around the bar, so it's more difficult to converse if you go in with larger parties so your option is to talk to the chef, and if the chef isn't as interactive it leads your experience quite secluded. Ambiance - typical for an omakase restaurant, modern japanese interior and their menu was really cute Overall, I'd come here if I was looking for good food, but if you're looking for an experience maybe this isn't your joint. But as I always say, taste is king and they get a 5/5 because even with the alright service the food was so insanely good I'd honestly give it a 9.5/10.

Omakase in the heart of Murray Hill is kinda crazy but after seeing this place all over my social media feed a few friends and I had to check it out. This place is a steal with $48 for 11 courses it's truly unbeatable. My favorites were the madai, scallop, kanpachi, and zuke akami. The fish is incredibly fresh and I would come here time and time again for this omakase lunch.

my favorite omakase in nyc. every piece has such thoughtful construction by the chef incorporating the best flavors and textures. pricing for 13 courses ended up being around $60 pp. loved our chef and how much he took care of us. i recommend you make your reservation in advance! it gets packed here. the ambiance is amazing, being well decorated with mood lighting

The fact that I'm already making excuses and reasons to come back to Tsumo and try all its partnered spots says it all. My husband took me here on a date and we were looking for a simple omakase as part of our evening in NYC. We were blown away by the flavors and how much we enjoyed for the price of the Omakase. Definitely the quality for its price was very matched if not exceeded. Top pieces we enjoyed were the chu toro, madai, yellowtail, and o toro. My husband who normally doesn't like uni even enjoyed the piece they prepared at Tsumo. All the bites were delicious, making us plot quickly which ones we were going to go for in the optional a la carte portion of the omakase seating. It's amazing how quickly 75 minutes goes but we made sure we got our top picks, and a wagyu not on the omakase, to try as well. Melts and has a truffle too? Wow. We splurged on a bottle of sake for the experience to really celebrate our love on this date. Additionally the staff was kind enough to give a small coffee ice cream with a candle since we were doing a date for my birthday (yes if you read my other reviews, my husband REALLY wanted to celebrate my birthday multiple times in multiple cities). Every bite was prepared so carefully and beautifully. They were also very good about accommodating my allergy to chives, onions, and scallions without compromising the quality. We loved chatting with our chef for the night, Ken, who has been with Tsumo since it opened a year ago. He made us feel welcomed and rounded out the full experience with his hospitality. Even if it's mostly the same pieces next time, we want there to be a next time. One of the best omakases we've ever had and we'll NEED to come back. Cheers!

One of the best Omakase's for the price in the city. Amazing ambience and the sushi is top notch. Sushi was fresh and the presentation was beautiful. Chef Simon is the best! Second time going and sitting at Simon's station and he did not disappoint. Simon's attention to detail and his shownanship are amazing. Great food and a great show. The Kyoto White Yuzu beer and the Nanbu Bijin Sake were amazing as well.
