    First time visiting Tsumo and unfortunately we were 10 minutes late to our seating. I don't recommend being late. I felt a bit of edge to the chef. From the moment we started I felt like I should hurry and eat. No time to enjoy in between pieces. Very rushed and not relaxing. The sake was delightful and clean. Fish was fresh and very large pieces. Good concept if you are in a rush and don't want to have a conversation with anyone. Just head down and eat .

    Can't get omakase for this price in LA. Food 5/5 I love that NYC has a lot of affordable omakase options and this is worth a try. Every fish has a unique flavor to it and all the flavors complemented each other. Their warm barley tea has free refills. Service 4/5 You'll have to wait for the entire restaurant to empty before you can sit. They seat everyone at once for each time slot. Tried to make conversation with our chef but he was rather timid so I held back. Overall service is standard. They give you a scoop of ice cream for your special occasion and a cute postcard to go. Ambiance 5/5 Standard, nothing special. Bag hook = big win!

    Just an incredible and affordable omakase. Each piece was decedent and amazing. There were so many flavorful pieces that I could not choose a favorite. This is the spot to stop for omakase.

    Tsumo has a beautiful ambiance the moment you enter the dining hall. Filled with chefs - excited to give us a mind-blowing experience. From affordability to quality and taste, it definitely exceeded my expectations. Honestly, the experience speaks for itself. The lingering taste remains even a couple of days after. It was that good! My favorite was the sake (ofcourse) and chu toro with truffle.

    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!

    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.

    The best go to omakase in the city! Miss their full slab of wagyu (now just cubed so not as great quality) but still fantastic quality throughout the meal. Consistent for a little pick-me-up! Bar seating also makes it great for solo dining/date night.

    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.

    The experience was exceptional, and the sushi was outstanding. The 13‑course tasting menu features 13 handcrafted pieces, each prepared with precision by a dedicated chef. Experience The setting resembles an intimate sushi bar, allowing guests to watch the chef prepare each course in real time. One chef serves six guests, ensuring an attentive and personalized experience. Courses are served one at a time, and the chef waits until you finish each piece before presenting the next. Taste Every piece was remarkable. The menu offers a diverse selection from salmon and tuna to caviar and Wagyu showcasing both variety and quality. All the fish was incredibly fresh, elevating each bite. A must‑visit when you're in New York.

    It is highly recommended that you get a reservation. Once you're seated, you are treated to 13 course meal, which gives you a taste of their menu selection. Once you're done with that meal, you are free to order additional items as you please. The service was amazing, fast, and fairly clean. I absolutely loved the sushi here, which makes me wonder how a restaurant can source the same fish as other sushi, restaurants, but still taste amazing. For $58, this is amazing. I cannot find anything better than this price quality ratio. Highly recommend recommended

    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 .

    Ordered the takeout omakase box, phenomenal at that price point! Quick and easy pickup, and the sushi was presented very nicely. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a takeout omakase option!

    I had been to Momoya on the Upper West Side before, but this was my first visit to the Chelsea…read morelocation. The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.

    Honestly, I'm surprised this restaurant has a four-star rating. While the service was excellent,…read morethe food was consistently disappointing. We started with a lychee martini that tasted overwhelmingly of vodka, with barely any lychee flavor. Of the appetizers--the seaweed salad, cucumber salad, and edamame dumplings--the cucumber salad was the best. The seaweed salad tasted like a standard prepackaged version, while the dumplings had an unusual, unpleasant flavor and tasted as though they had come straight from the freezer. For our main dishes, we ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and udon with tempura. The udon was acceptable, but the tempura was excessively oily, lacking the light, crisp texture you would expect. Even the chicken teriyaki was underwhelming; it tasted more like a reheated, prepared meal than something freshly cooked. The sushi was another letdown, with an odd flavor and appearance. The dynamite roll was especially disappointing, with an unpleasant texture and very little flavor beyond a touch of heat. The staff deserves credit for their attentive, friendly service, but unfortunately, that couldn't make up for the quality of the meal. We left feeling genuinely disappointed.

    After trying a dozen of sushi/omakase places in New York I can definitively the best I've had…read more The omakase at Sanyuu West is honestly unbeatable. Every single fish is very high quality I find many places like the skimp out on the less popular fish but not Sanyuu West. I think the omakase is also at a very good price for the quality and amount you get though I know it is more expensive than maybe the average omakase spot right now. I also find that other spots usually underdeliver. I wish I could save more detail but honestly I have nothing more to say other than the fact that Sanyuu Weat amazing. The restaurant itself is also more spacious than I expected. Besides the main bar there are two sitting areas near the window as well as seats lined up to the bathroom to make yourself comfortable two things that I think are a rare find now in many places. A lot of thought is put into this restaurant layout and I think you can tell. The service was also great I found myself never lacking in water or waiting too long for my next piece. In fact, I had started to apologize about drinking so much water because I felt like the hostess was constantly at my side refilling my cup and she just turned to me and said, "don't apologize. Drinking water is very important." So true!!!! I'm very picky abt my recommendations to friends, I'll review any place I go to and give my thoughts but a real recommendation? I only have around a dozen or so. And Sanyuu West is definitely now part of that dozen.

I love how the flavors mix so well together, I felt like I was in heaven! the service was amazing, like the never left my water cup empty!!!

It is a really small place with around 6-8 tables so it probably gets busy at times and there may be a wait. One of the best parts of their menu here is that you can order sushi by the piece. My mom doesn't always have the biggest appetite so for her to be able to order only a few pieces instead of an entire roll was a huge plus! I had to crispy tuna rice appetizer and the dragon roll. Literally so good. I was seriously craving crispy rice and these were perfect. I would order this again and again. The sushi was fresh and taste great as well. Super glad we decided to come here!

    This evening we were going to a jazz club where a friend of our son works at, but they don't serve…read morefood, so we had to find a place in the area of where the club is at. Do of course I use Yelp to find something that catches my eye close by where we need to be. I found umami Sushi. We usually can't go wrong with Japanese food or sushi. We had no problems finding the place. The description said it was a small restaurant and as we entered the dining area was very small. Our hotel room was probably bigger. That doesn't bother me especially if we get there, there tables for us to sit comfortably. I also trust my judgment when I find a place that seems to be popular by the locals. The restaurant was empty when we arrived. We were the only ones there, but for some reason we bring good vibes to the places we eat because not too long after we placed our order, people started coming in, to the point that the small dining room was packed. I love Omakase style Service and what we ordered was a sashimi/sushi platter for three and two special rolls. I thought I got to choose the rolls but even that was chefs choice. I was just a bit worried that they would give us the cheap rolls like spicy tuna or California roll. The platter came out and it was beautifully prepared with a piece of sashimi for each of us and the rolls the chefs chose, ended up being two of my favorite rolls. The types of fish they selected were also great quality fish. We were lucky to have placed our order before the crowd came in our we might have had to wait a while because how they prepared it would have taken some time. The service was just right. Because they got busy right away, the waitress was forced to attend to everyone and couldn't really socialize with us. In fact when we finished our platter we were debating what we wanted for dessert but the waitress didn't even ask us and instead she just brought us the bill, so we said to ourselves, "I guess we're not having dessert here." So we paid the bill and gave an opportunity for someone else to take our table.
