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. read more

Friend: I found a good lunch Omakase deal (11 courses for $48 pp)! Let's go check it out! So here we are checking it out. We went to the Kips Bay location. It's very easy to pass by the spot since the name of the restaurant was really subtle. It's the epitome of iykyk The interior is very minimalist which is fine! I came for the food and not the decor! It's nice that they have to counters to accommodate more people. And they have multiple chefs at the counters so we all got to see the chef prepare the sushi and have him hand you the food / place it on your plate. All the prices were really fresh! We got: Madai Hamachi Botan Ebi Ikura Hotate Kanpachi Zuck Akami O Toro Sake Unagi Toro handroll Uni +$10 Wagyu +$12 All the pieces were great. I think my favorite was the Botan Ebi just because it has a crunch to it. Happy that we got to try out this lunch omakase! read more

I'm gonna start with the restaurant itself. When you walk in you're greeted and led into the main dining area. It's very intimate maybe 20-30 people max. So id recommend for a dinner for two or maybe even a small dinner of 4 people max. They are very efficient with the service ensuring that you are in and out and they are prepping for the next round of reservations. The chef we had was so diligent and kind. He was also incredibly patient with us as we asked questions about the nigiri he served us. Truly a master of his craft. Now for the sushi !! I have favorites and not so favorites but EVERYTHING was good. This is the order they were served in: 1. Madai - good 2. Hamachi - better than Madai but I'm a fan of Hamachi 3. Scallops - loved it !! Was not expecting too because I'm not a fan of cooked scallops but the nigiri was so balanced and light and had this citrusy flavor to it 4. Sweet shrimp - good 5. Ikura - YUM !!! 6. Uni - duh, good as fuck 7. Kanpachi (baby yellowtail) - good, there were onion crisps that add great depth but I'm not the biggest fan of onion crisps on nigiri 8. Samara - not a big fan of the flame/seared nigiri but it was still good 9. Chu toro - I don't like truffle on anything but fries or pasta but toro is always delish 10. O toro - DELICIOUS 11. Sake - good but not my fave 12. Unagi - duh delish 13. Toro handroll - YUM After finishing the omakase, I got another O toro and the Uni. I also like how balanced the nigiri was, I usually like to stick to sashimi because sometimes the rice to fish ration in nigiri is off, but these were the perfect bites and every flavor was present while still making sure the fish was the star of the show. Would've loved to eat more but like I said they run a strict program I would give them 5 stars but when I found out the tip went to the company and not the chef that kind of pissed me off because the service was amazing and I wish we had known that prior to paying our bill, I would've paid him cash directly. read more

Price tag should give you an idea of what you're getting here compared to other omakase experiences so it's hard to compare completely. It's an okay price but to make profit they are basically offering omakase at scale. When you go to the back there are 6 sushi chefs each serving 4-6 people at a time. For 13 courses I'd say that a few were legit good. But it felt more trying to scale than offering a unique dining experience. Not a ton of interaction with the chefs and a lot of the flavors felt uninspired and just not balanced in ways that I want omakase to be. I'd rather save my money for a more expensive meal that has more soul and intention if you're going for omakase anyways. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 . read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I have been eating in Japanese restaurants since 1981 worked in Japan and know the culture very well. Last evening I got a bad of Waguy meat that I had to spit it out. The chef saw it the server saw it, took the napkin with the meat, and gave me a new napkin. No response from any of them very unprofessional. It just shows you that this is not a real Japanese restaurant. Very disappointing... read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

$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!

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! read more
