We came by for a weeknight dinner at Tatsuda. The ambiance is very good - interior isn't too cramped and they have a dedicated waiting area for the next set of seatings. They have three seatings every night, and during the service there are three chefs for only 15ish people. There was a free round of sake near the end of the service. The fish was so fresh and soft, most of the slices were melt in your mouth. The omakase is more traditional and is more nigiri focused, doing a great job of showcasing the fish. The selection was quality but more conventional. Overall a really good option if you want an omakase experience that won't disappoint but won't blow you away either.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 8 Decor: 8 Value: 8 Overall: 8 With all the sushi omakase options out there, I am grateful that some of them didn't follow the formula of using crazy amounts of fancy toppings and overpowering sauces. Even more surprising that it's located right near Time Square. Opened toward the latter part of 2023, I have been here a handful of times. Their 16 course omakase is now $90 for 75 minutes. The short timeframe is probably one of my least favorite part of all the omakase restaurants opening up over the last decade. Thankfully, at least they put out a decent product with a reasonable price. The meal starts off with three prepared courses. On my last visit, they served Snow Crab Salad, Monk Fish Liver, and Grilled Black Cod. I thoroughly enjoyed all the starters. Then it continues with 13 pieces of nigiri, which I will get into details below, and finishing off with a piece of creamy cheesecake-like version of tamago. Overall, a very good meal. As for the nigiri, I thought the rice was decent, but sadly nothing special. However, the freshness and cut of the seafood was up average for the price range. Considering it as one product, I would say that it's satisfying enough for me to revisit. The host and chefs are all quite nice. I had good conversations with them both. Going forward when I am in the neighborhood for Broadway shows, I'll consider coming here for a quick dinner.

Salmon with foie gras!!!

The omakase dinner here is amazing. The fish is so fresh and the courses left me satisfied, which cannot be said about all omakase dinners. I loved the salmon bite with foie gras and Wagyu. The quality was just so good!

I recently celebrated my birthday at Tatsuda Restaurant and it turned into an unforgettable evening. Chef Sean's talent was on full display as he carefully crafted each roll, combining the freshest fish in a way that made every piece feel unique and tasted absolutely out of this world. Beyond the incredible food, the warm hospitality truly made the night special. To my surprise, the staff brought out a delicious chocolate cake on the house and even sang a birthday song, which made my celebration feel extra meaningful. It's rare to find a place where I was treated not just as a customer, but as a special guest . Tatsuda continues to be my favorite restaurant and I always look forward to coming back.Thanks !

Wagyu beef with truffle
Gwo-Long H.

A very small restaurant. All seats are on the counter, less than 15. It has no menu. You eat whatever the sushi San gives you, all seafood though. It was delicious and enjoyable but our sushi-San wasn't too social or talkative. Very reasonably priced.

Bluefin tuna

Great omakase place that's decently priced with pretty good quality fish/portion sizes! Service was fast and friendly and ambiance was pretty casual-- good to come for a casual date night or if you're just craving some sushi. We both got the 16 piece dinner omakase set and ordered a bottle of sake on the side. Overall, most of the nigiri pieces were good (ofc not the level of the $200, $300+ omakase placed in NYC but also better than your average joe omakase place). The sake we got (35 year old one) was very smooth and good too! The pieces I liked the most are: 1. All the tuna pieces (bluefin tuna, fatty tuna): 10/10 (I'm biased because I love fatty fish) 2. Uni: 10/10 (also biased because I love uni! But I love how they give you uni TWICE??) 3. Yellowtail: 10/10 (once again... biased because I loooove yellowtail) 4. Wagyu/beef: 10/10 (super tender and flavorful) 5. Ankimo: 9/10 (good but a little lacking in flavor when compared to the ankimo I had in Korea) The pieces I wash meh about: - Appetizer/toast with uni and caviar: 7.5/10 (love how they start you off with uni AND caviar but... why is on bread!!! I feel like that was a bit unnecessary... it would've been 10/10 if it was ok regular sushi rice) - One of the white fishes: 2/10 (I don't remember which fish it was other than it was one of the white fishes in the middle of the course. It was extremelyyyy fishy!!!!)

The fish was very fresh. I liked all the sushi I got. I don't know if I would say this was a great deal for the price point. It wasn't the worst, but also not amazing. The sushi chef didn't really make yours in front of you. The catered to everyone at the bar at the same time, so you can't really watch them make your order each time. It was also very loud because there was another large birthday party, so this was probably not the best experience for everybody else.

What an incredible experience! It's a first for me and I certainly can't wait to go back! Every piece of fresh was prepared to the max. The flavors were out of this world and Chef Reo couldn't be more knowledgeable. Do realize that it is bar seating and everyone sits at the same bar while your chef prepares the food in front of you. I think it's worth the price and if you do decide to go please be kind to your chef. Ask questions and have conversations ! It makes the an even better experience. Very relaxed environment and super friendly. I don't recommend a big party for this kind of eating. Last recommendation is come with an empty stomach. Those pieces of fresh fish end up catching up to you haha

I came here for a birthday dinner and we had a great time. Located in Hell's Kitchen, this omakase spot is $90pp and 16-courses. Service here is steady and doesn't feel rushed, but they definitely do stick to their 75 minutes. We got a variety of your expected sashimi, such as their amberjack, red snapper, salmon, and scallop. Everything was fresh and delicious. I loved their monkfish liver more than I expected (I normally don't like it). And, they ended their course with a cheesecake that was delightful. As we went for a birthday dinner, they also brought out cake and sang, which was super fun. Truly enjoyed my time here and my friends said they would come back!

Austin K.

Had a fantastic omakase here - it is 75 mins so they do keep you to your time. The pieces weren't super crafted but were tasty and a reasonable price for the amount of pieces. The only marks off would be for the sake I was recommended (dassai 23 I think) which had the cloying sweet taste I dislike as well as the matcha cheesecake which is not rich nor custard and almost dry. I did try the tatsuda special for an upcharge and wow, while I was plenty full, this was an amazing piece all blended well together.

Ōtoro with Ossetra Caviar
Riyad M.

I went to Tatsuda for the omakase dinner. Ambience is a little more casual than what you'd expect from an omakase restaurant. The ingredients were remarkably fresh and delicious (I recommend trying the Uni - sweet, briny, and rich). Chef Andy was knowledgeable of his craft and friendly. I was quite pleased with the sake selection and the host's deep knowledge of sake. At $90/pp (as of 4/21/26), this certainly is a great value. But don't let the price fool you! Tatsuda does not compromise on quality.

Julie P.

Highly overpriced for the experience received Upon arrival the table seated were for 6 people and it was very crammed. Every time the door was open you would get the cold rainy draft. It is very rushed and the chef barely spoke at all. There was excessive upsell and to be honest the Uni and hokkado salmon and wagyu add on were not good at all. The dessert served with the 16 course dinner was awful, match cheese cake it was powdery and stale! They do make good cocktails and their eel, mackerel, and king salmon sashimi was great! The sturgeon caviar was very mild. Their pickled wasabi was a treat for your tastebuds. At $400 for 2 people. Sadly i was disappointed! They did give a complimentary shot of sake which was good quality. No frills , clean but crammed.

Best sushi I've had in my entire life. Great, attentive service. Perfect pacing. I wouldn't think 16 pieces would fill me up, especially since I came in hangry, but it was the perfect amount.

Food: 4/5 Service bumped it to a 5/5 because all of the…read morestaffs were so friendly. From the moment we walked in to us finding the bathroom and waving anyone down for our requests. We got the fish carpaccio to start and it was pretty good! It tasted like what I expected from the description. The miso soup was also good, not too salty and slightly different than your trusty takeout sushi spot. I got the dashi omelette and it was a little sweet and savory. It paired nicely with the radish. I got the cold, plum udon. Which was refreshing and a bit sour from the plums. The broth was sippable since it wasn't too salty. My friend got the mushroom cold soba and it came with mashed yam. This dish tasted more like what I was expecting since the sourness of my dish kinda was unexpected, but I still enjoyed it! My friend also got a drink and it was SO strong. I think they're serious about their drinks here I didn't see any mocktails or cocktails. They gave us black sesame ice cream on the house since her drinks came out later than expected, which was really nice! I'm not a black sesame fan, but this place's ice cream was good! You're able to chew on the black sesame's bits and pieces in there. Overall, I do think they nail Japanese food, it's supposed to be simple and clean. So if you're looking for creative and big umami flavors, that's not going to be this place. But if you want authentic, Japanese food, this is the place!

The décor features light natural wood and bamboo, creating a warm, authentic atmosphere, with an impressive collection of sake lining the wall. The food is outstanding. We started with the seasonal soft-shell crab, which was incredibly fresh and fried to perfection. The daily sashimi special was exceptionally fresh, and the salad was light and refreshing. The must-order Wagyu beef, served on a hot stone, simply melted in our mouths and was unforgettable. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and I enjoyed every single bite. The impeccable service was the icing on the cake. The staff was attentive throughout our meal, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. I absolutely loved the entire dining experience and can't wait to come back again!

Soba was clean, refreshing. Tempura was fried just right…read more The eel rice (unaju) was huge (though it should be, for the price). It tasted good, though I wouldn't say it was mind blowing. We both liked the soba and tempura more. The servers were great, especially the guy who welcomed us and walked us to a quieter part of the restaurant since our baby was sleeping.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 4 Overall: 6 I am mixed about my feelings toward this restaurant. After two visits, I have enjoyed certain items, but also disappointed by others. The inconsistency in their quality leaves me a bit unsure. On top of that, their prices are relatively high. I have easily spent over $120 each visit (two people each time) without having a full meal. The items I enjoyed the most were the Oyster Emerald (8/10) for $28 and Kama Yaki Hamachi (8/10) for $23. Both are quite expensive compared to other izakaya restaurants I frequent. The Yammy Uzura (7.5/10) was very good as well. On the mediocre side, the Hamachi Carpaccio (7/10) lacked the flavors I expected. Also, most of the Sushi Spoon (6/10) I have tried are underwhelming. Quality of the rice is inferior to what I am accustomed to and definitely not worth the price. The Hokkaido Uni was $18 for that one small bite. On the negative side, their tiny portion of Fried Chicken Nanban (6/10) was nothing special and costs $21. Furthermore, the few Yakitori (5/10) skewers I have tried were somewhat dry and lacked flavor. In addition, I am really not a fan of their Agedashi Tofu (3/10), which has a goopy and slimy texture that felt off putting. Ultimately, I find some of the food here good enough to come back for, but not at these prices. Both times I left felt like I overpaid. Therefore, I don't see myself returning to this izakaya.

Needed some small bites after work before going to a Broadway show and Sozai came up on my search…read more They were packed around 5:30 PM with the happy hour crowd so I was glad I made a reservation. Their reservations also book up quickly. I made my reservation a week before. We were seated in one of their booths which was cute, comfy, cozy, and clean. It was just my husband and i. They have good happy hour deals, but I don't remember how many dishes we ordered were on HH. We got the tako wasa, chicken karaage, kibinago, and mentaiko pasta. All were great! All my favorites and perfect for a quick dinner. Their menu is pretty extensive -- I wished we had more time to order a bunch of other dishes. Good portions for sharing. We were surprised we had some leftovers. Definitely a good spot for groups to order a bunch of tapas and mains. Service was good and the food and drinks came out within good timing. We'll definitely have to go another time when we're in the area with some friends and order a lot more. Can't wait to return.

I started off with the Hotate Carpaccio ($18) - these Hokkaido scallops tasted fresh and delicious. The ikura (salmon roe) on top was a nice addition. For my main course, I got the Unagi Don ($34) - this was also very good, although nothing too out of the ordinary. I thought the price was slightly on the higher end. The portion size for this (and in general) is not particularly large, but still fine. The restaurant interior is quite narrow, which leads to a lively atmosphere that can get a bit noisy at times, though not too bad. It's decorated in a classic Japanese restaurant style with booth seating as well as bar seating. I was able to get a walk-in table on a Saturday night after just a brief ~15 min wait. The staff are friendly and the service speed is quick. Overall, I think Sozai is a great option for quality Japanese food in Midtown if you are craving any type of Japanese cuisine.
