Taylor's Tayke: Tachi's lunch specials are a great way to experience quality sushi without committing to a full omakase. The fish tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, and both bowls came with a good amount of rice to balance everything out. If you're looking to elevate your lunch with something fresh and filling, this is a solid move. My Taysty Tayke: Standout: Chirashi Mega With 13 to 15 kinds of seasonal fish, every few bites bring something different. The fish was fresh, the portion was generous, and that temporary rush from the wasabi definitely woke me up. The Salmon Oyako Don brought salmon and roe together for a nice contrast. The salmon itself was more neutral and buttery, while the roe added that salty, ocean-forward pop that carried throughout the bowl. Included With Lunch: The miso soup was fish-forward, warm, and a nice complement to the freshness of the bowls. Plates From My Visit: Chirashi Mega Salmon Oyako Don Miso Soup In Conclusion: Fresh fish, generous portions, and a good amount of variety make Tachi's rice bowls a strong lunch option. Go for the Chirashi Mega if you want to explore different cuts, or the Salmon Oyako Don for a more focused salmon and roe experience. Stamped by Elajas read more

Tasteless! I came here for Restaurant Week, but unfortunately, this was not the omakase experience I was hoping for. This is a tiny spot with only 12 seats. The space is dimly lit, with no decoration aside from the floral wallpaper. The rice-to-fish ratio was off, with far more rice than fish. The fish wasn't fresh and had no flavor. The overpoweringly stale, vinegary rice was really all I could taste. Even the miso soup at the end was bad. The pacing also felt off compared to a typical omakase experience. I was served the soup before receiving my final piece, and the entire meal felt rushed. The chef and hostess were both nice and welcoming, so I have no complaints about the service itself. read more

It's been a minute since I had sushi and when an affordable omakases spot keeps appearing on your feed, you just have to check it out! This was like a semi reverse speakeasy spot. There is a small bar out front and you have to slide the door to reveal the sushi counter. Unfortunately, they only do walk-ins. So try to get there early. We were fortunate to get the last 2 seats for our seating. The chef was great at explaining the different dishes to us. I felt bad I kept asking her to repeat the different pieces to me. We ordered the 15 course omakase ($48) : Spanish mackerel Stripe seabass Salmon from Iceland Scallop from Japan Hamachi Miso black cod 2 different cuts of Fatty Tuna Salmon Aji Ikura Uni Miso soup Grill Eel White fish hand roll All the fish prices were very fresh! Glad I went! read more

Went on a Sunday around 2PM. We were seated pretty quickly as it wasn't quite filled just yet. If I remember correctly, there were only about 12 seats (only counter seats). Roughly about half an hour later, it was completely full and there were some parties waiting. I would say it's pretty casual but, the interior is quite dim. Went with friends but would be nice for a cute little date. I read quite a few reviews about the sashimi not being fresh but, when I went, the sashimi was and it melted in my mouth. While there were some cuts I didn't prefer, I enjoyed the majority. It was $48 for the 15pc omakase set, which is pretty worth it in manhattan. My friend also got the unagi don and that was really good but, for the portion it was quite pricey. I would recommend this place if you're looking/craving for a cheap omakase place. Personally though, I probably wouldn't revisit. read more

A good overall omakase experience. They only have walk ins so don't try to make reservations. We were lucky on a Tuesday night to get seats for 3. We all chose the 15 course omakase for $48 which is a great deal. Out of the 15 courses my favorite were the arctic char, fatty tuna and black cod. The uni had a weird aftertaste and the lean tuna didn't have much flavor. Our chef was amazing, we had a great experience. read more

Oh my FREAKING goodness gracious!!!!!!!!!! I am here on a work trip, our entire goal was to eat Omakase, this was the best dining experience I have had in my life so far!!!!!! So unassuming you could almost miss it, we called to ask what time Omakase started on the weekdays and they said 4:30, we got there at 4:00 on a Monday and had the place to ourselves! Holy crap you guys!!!! Chef Beto served us tonight and gave us the best fish of our life!!!! They offer $48, 15 course omakase and EVERYTHING, I mean EVERYTHING was insane ( best we have ever had)!! I tried things I never thought I would like and was blown away! Chef Beto was so knowledgeable about the culture and the food we were eating and really enhanced our experience! The Omakase is chefs choice so it's subject to change but tonight we had the please of having the below dishes: Seabream Branzino Arctic char Mackerel Yellowtail Black cod Akami lean tuna Fatty tuna Faroe island salmon Firefly squid Salmon roe Hokkaido uni Freshwater Eel Miso soup ( made in house daily) Fatty tuna hand roll Like I said everything was good but the dishes with the stars are those that I will be dreaming about! Stunning , melt in your mouth food for an affordable price! They only opened a month or so ago and thank god because we were able to enjoy it! Good ambiance and music, beautiful seating and thoughtful dishes! We will come back every time we are in NYC! They don't take reservations which was nice, so we walked in! They serve lunch as well which we will have to try! Best fish I've ever had!!!! read more

The food was great. Fish were all fresh and tasty. You have a choice between 9,12, or 15 course omakase and it was very reasonably priced. Best bang for your buck. It is a small place, 12 seats total. With enough space for one person to pass behind the seated person. I would say not great for groups but great for date nights or singles. There are no reservations, so first come first serve. read more

I love that Times Square has this new omakase spot and the best part is how well priced it is for 15 courses! I don't think you can find a better omakase deal for $48 in the heart of Midtown like this. It's pretty simple and I like that they don't do too much with each piece of nigiri. They keep it focused on quality and freshness. The chef gave some of the best service I've had at an omakase restaurant and the inside was so beautiful and clean. Some highlights of the course were yellowtail, black cod, fatty tuna, salmon, sea urchin, and unagi. The hand roll closed off the meal and was the perfect ending! read more

First Impressions: love the ambiance and elegant and intimate feel. The smell of the Hinoki wood was subtle but also immediate and very soothing. The Noms: we came in as a party of 8, ordered two bottles of Sake (sorry forgot the names but they were wonderful!) and all ordered the 15 course omakase. The pieces and their names are all in the pictures. I am not a big fan of sushi (yes yes, my sister already gives me a hard time for being the only Asian person of our friends who doesn't eat sushi) but someone once told me that plenty of people don't like sushi but love omakase... and I guess I'm one of those people because I love omakase. This isn't my first one but the chef was so wonderfully informative and the fish was so fresh and all had little stories accompanying them... it was a great experience. My most favorite pieces: 1. Sea bream 2. House smoked branzino 3. Artic char 4. Hokkaido scallops 5. Hamachi yellowtail 6. Sablefish 7. Bluefin Akami 8. Chu-toro 9. Salmon from faro island 10. Unagi 11. Spanish mackerel In Conclusion: they've only been open for 2 weeks but please make sure you get a seat in asap because I can guarantee you they'll become more popular soon! read more

Visited this place for dinner with my boyfriend and his sister on a Monday night. We came around 6:30pm and waited around 20-30 minutes to be seated. We went across the street and got coffee. When we came back we go some drinks while waiting in front and the host gave us very good detail of the sake they had and even small tasting. We ended getting a glass each and some beer before we sat down. She also gave us recommendations to get more sake if we wanted. We opted for the 15 pieces omakase and knew we were going to try the daily specials. For specials we got rockfish, green eye, and Donchichi aji. Obviously it's a great deal but each piece was delicious. All of the fish was prepped well and focused on the fish. Everything was clean and balanced without heavy flavors covering it so if you like truffles or foie gras, or wagyu and lots of torching it might not be for you. We got few of the specials and they were all unique! fire fly squid was a little squid that was gently cooked. Super tender with shiso in the rice which I really enjoyed it, although the sisters was not comfy with the innards. Donchichi aji is fattier than normal aji and the ginger scallion helped cut through. The green eye was really really fatty fish as well. I'm not really a fatty fish person but it was delicious to try. My favorite was lean tuna, scallop, and uni. They were chilled, juicy and had the clean slightly sweet taste that you only get when ingredients are well handled. Overall I definitely recommend! It's delicious and worth trying, the price point is just a bonus. The restaurant is very small tho and they don't take reservations, walkins only! read more

The 15 piece nigiri set at $57 is a decent enough deal but this Chirashi "Mega" which promises "13-15 kinds of seasonal fish" feels like a bad deal. What makes this more premium than the other chirashi bowls that they offer? A tiny dot of uni? A spot of chopped-up toro? Seems like there was more ginger and wasabi than anything else. Really enjoyed their nigiri set but their chirashi just doesn't compare to Noz, Hiromi, Goal etc. read more

Newly opened omakase spot with unbelievable prices. They start at $28 for 9 courses. They don't take reservations as per their website and are walk in only. I think they advertise as fast pace dining but when we went, we didn't feel rushed at all. I'm not sure if they're open during the day but when I looked at their hours on Google Maps, they opened at 5pm so we went for an early dinner. We came a couple minutes after 5pm and were able to snag the last two counter seats. Throughout our dining, we saw multiple groups of people come in and inquire. So it definitely seems quite popular. The inside is quite small and intimate. The space between the counter seats and the walking strip is quite small. Especially when there's jackets hung up, it can be a bit tight to walk. There's a bathroom at the end of the hall, with a Japanese Toto toilet. Since it was newly opened, I felt like the service was quite disorganized. Ordering the omakase was via a paper on the counter, where you can mark which course option you want. The sushi chef will check on you for your order. There didn't really seemed to be someone who was taking drink orders at least for us, we were just waiting for someone to walk by to grab their attention. It was just a lot of waiting around to grab people's attention for something. Same thing for when we were waiting for our bill. There is a first free drink if you sign up for their newsletter. I highly recommend their sake cocktail. It was so light and refreshingly, you can barely taste the alcohol. I heard it's the chefs own recipe for the cocktail! They currently have a limited alcohol license so the options are more limited. Maybe it was the layout of the counter or where we were sat but I felt so far away from the sushi chef. I couldn't really see the chef preparing the sushi which usually I enjoy watching. The sushi chef blends his own sushi rice vinegar. Three vinegars all aged in different lengths of time. My friend really enjoyed the sushi rice and the flavor from the rice vinegar. Personally, I felt like it took away from the fish flavor a little bit. I felt like the fish was quite fresh. My favorite was the scallop and the salmon hand roll at the end. I think one of the courses was a miso soup but I wasn't really counting. Overall: It was overall a great experience at an unbeatable price point. Honestly, you can't find anything this good at this affordable of a price read more

14 courses plus a miso soup for $48! With so many omakase spots emerging in NYC, it can be a bit difficult to stand out. I was enticed by the affordable price point like many others and decided to try it out. The chef for my friend and I seemed to be new and still learning but he was trying his best and had a good attitude. I did think he was a bit heavy handed on the rice and the rice didn't really hold together in some pieces. The fish itself tasted fresh and yummy but I do think it wasn't as creative as other places I've had and were more on the plain side. Again, the chef seemed new and learning, so those technical errors seemed to be expected and hopefully he'll gain more confidence soon! I came to eat affordable omakase, and it delivered. read more

15Course Omakase We came for dinner without any reservations and were able to get seated for 3 in 15ish minutes. There's only a small bar for seating so very intimate and not crowded at Highlights: yellowtail, cod, fatty tuna, Uni and hand roll. We came for dinner without any reservations and were able to get seated for 3 in 15ish minutes. There's only a small bar for seating so very intimate and not crowded at all Maybe it's just because of higher availability of fish in New York, but the amount you get for this price (only 48$ for 15 rolls!) is great and every fish is very well prepared. Compared to other omakase restaurants I have been to, this is definitely the best price. read more

Omakase but affordable with quality fish. I walked into Tachi and joined the waitlist, they don't do reservations. They have 3 tiers of omakase you can do as well as à la carte (rare for omakase restaurants). The concept was inspired by the standing sushi restaurants in Japan. I got the 15 courses for $48. The fish was so fresh and I love how you can truly taste the difference in each piece. The chef was meticulous and you can tell he loves his craft. Tachi is a great spot for dinner with the girls or date night. I would come back for sure. read more

Came with my wife and niece to this walk-in only sushi spot for omakase. Thankfully on a Tuesday night at 8pm they had seating. They have 3 options and we all chose the 15 course omakase. Each nigiri was fresh and flavorful and hand crafted by the chef right in front of you. I loved the smoked branzino the best. Unfortunately the uni, which is typically my favorite, did not taste fresh and had a strong seafood odor with lingering aftertaste. Overall for the price of $49pp it was a good deal. The place is quite small with a narrow walk way and the host was not too friendly and welcoming. read more

5stars for the servers/host 5 for the quality of the fish 1 for the rice and the attitude of the sarcastic sushi chef Cold wet rice not Japanese quality read more

So, I work in food distribution specializing in Japanese cuisine and admittedly never officially sat down at an Omakase counter With that said, i was skeptical about the price point but was very astonished about the quality. Sure the space itself can be difficult to navigate but you could expect the same if dining in Tokyo. All things aside, i felt every piece of Nigiri was thoughtfully gentle to the palate. Especially the cured/marinated items. I went for the maximum course @$48 and finished with an additional piece of "Iwashi" / Sardine (a seasonal item recommended by the Chef) which made a fine finishing component complimenting the other courses. read more

This is a good value omakase experience. The decor is really nice, and the sushi is good. I know that this is newly opened so there are some things that can definitely be ironed out/room for improvement. Because it's a walk-in, you do end up waiting quite a bit during prime dinner time. Customers end up walking away. But later in the evening, the place gets quite empty. It might be more beneficial/efficient for them to do a hybrid seating system. Having set dining times when the service starts, and allot a certain amount of seats for reservations. They can keep a certain amount of seats open for walk-ins to join the service. Because so many people were starting at different times, the chefs were pulled in different directions which also slowed down service. We also weren't very sure what happened because the other chefs left quite early without explaining why? So overall service is a bit inconsistent, which is why I gave 4 stars. The sushi rice was also a little inconsistent. Our chef's station had a little too much vinegar, and the acidity overpowered the fish. When he left, and another chef took over the remaining diners - I noticed his rice was better balanced. They have one dessert here, and it's great if you're a matcha lover or want to try monaka (which is difficult to find here). The ice cream is not too sweet and you can really taste the matcha. The Hokkaido sea urchin was great - very fresh and sweet. If you're still hungry, they have several specials to try, and the spotted prawn hand roll is also really great. read more

Had a surprisingly great omakase experience at Tachi NYC right in Times Square. The pricing is honestly hard to believe for the quality (15 pieces for $48), but it delivers. The atmosphere has a cool retro Japanese vibe, and the attention to detail stands out from sushi served on bamboo leaves to palate-cleansing ginger and even a hand towel. Highlights for me were the melt-in-your-mouth toro, super fresh uni, and the squid with a nice chewy texture and a bit of kick. Their signature miso black cod is slightly sweet with a perfect char definitely a must-order. Also worth mentioning: the miso soup made from fish bone broth was incredibly rich and flavorful. Bonus points for their beautifully designed takeout omakase box feels like unwrapping a gift. Overall, not flashy, just really focused on high-quality, fresh flavors. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. read more

We came here last Sunday afternoon through World Cup chaos and heat to enter this wonderful cool and calm interior. A slatted wood door separates the dining area from the entrance and once inside you experience a beautiful wood and marble counter. A+ to the designers for the seating comfort and for providing a hook on the wall behind you for your coat (a real pet peeve with me for restaurants in NYC). We had the $28 Omakase for our first time. The pace was slow and allowed you to calm down and relax after your journey. Memorable pieces were the Hokkaido Scallops, Spanish Mackerel and the Tuna hand roll. They have daily specials and the Sardine was delicious. I was very impressed by the rice: full grain, beautifully seasoned with just the right amount of wasabi for each cut. The hostess recommended a sake that paired beautifully with the fish. It's wonderful that the Sake's are reasonable priced and of high quality. Like stepping into another world. The food and the service were excellent. We will definitely return. read more

On a cold rainy Saturday, we were able to get 2 seats just before 6pm. Small 10-12-seat counter seating with 3 sushi chefs. From the moment we sat down to exiting the restaurant, we enjoyed friendly, courteous service and a delicious 15-course omakase. You are given a menu where 3 omakases are offered with 15-pieces being the most. You can also choose ala carte pieces on this menu- we chose uni which was from Hokkaido - excellent uni. Would definitely go back next time we're in the area. read more
