    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Uni - great and very creamy

    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.

    I am a sucker for delicious Katsu and you'll struggle to find better than Katsu-Hama. Katsu-Hama…read morehas a quaint, Japanese vibe in a small but comfortable dining area. It's not especially big, so you may have a bit of a wait if you frequent right at lunch or in the evening but whatever amount of time you have to wait it will be well worth it. Service is top tier but you come for the food. They have a varied menu with a lot of options so if you're bringing a buddy that isn't up for Katsu, they'll have plenty to choose from. The Katsu is the star and I think what sets this place apart is that they offer Berkshire pork katsu as an option. Arguably some of the best pork, it's great to have the option if you're looking to heighten the experience. I love their pork katsu and go nuts over the chicken katsu curry. It's super crispy, slightly greasy but never off-putting. And it's served with the most delicate and delicious cabbage slaw. I could eat a mountain of this it's so good. Highly recommended.

    This place is a bit hard to spot, but it's on the same side of the street as the sorta famous (50…read moreyears +) Phil's Stationery. Katsu-Hama is about two doors to the Left of Phil's, and has minimal, very discreet signage. I got some tonkatsu...I forget the exact type, but it was essentially the most fatty of the tonkatsu offered. It came with cabbage (with a sesame ginger type dressing), daikon radish (with some type of sauce on top), and the standard sauce for the tonkatsu, along with some crushed sesame seed and hot mustard. I'd have to say...the tonkatsu was quite good....not quite as sublime as my favorite tonkatsu place in Tokyo...but still, very, very good. The dish also came with a bowl of miso soup (good, and not overly salty) and a bowl of white rice, which I considered the most disappointing part of the meal. The rice seemed a bit dried out...not moist.... All in all, an excellent meal. I'd definitely come back.

The servers were pretty attentive and funny, they'd check on us regularly, somehow managing to convince us to get even more items based on what we liked.

A lot of the items didn't feel heavy which is always a plus with Izakayas, and allowed us to order and try even more items on the menu.

The creamy kimchi udon was ok. It didn't feel like one dish, but tasted good. The una don was great. Good sauce and blend of supporting veggies to enhance the taste. Service was super quick. Everything was rapid fire: order taken, food comes out quick, water gets replinished before asking, plates are taken the moment they are finished, and check comes immediately after asking for it. Interior was cramped and loud. Really fitting as many tables as they can in the space. I saw others mentioning to make reservations. I went without one and got lucky. There was a table opening 30 minutes out. Would recommend having one, but you can definitely try walking in. First come first serve basis Overall, solid spot for great tasting food. Great for smaller parties of 2, but expect it to be tight with spacing

Many of the clientele are Japanese so we knew we were at an authentic place. We got: - Fried oysters: the batter was light and crispy and oysters piping hot - Vinegared Mackerel w/ Ponzu Sauce: fresh & tangy - Intestines Hotpot: comforting & light despite the fattiness of the intestines - Creamed Mentai Udon: they split it in 2 small bowls for us since we were sharing. Udon had a nice bouncy chew and sauce was not heavy We also got a bottle of sake, and they poured it in a beautiful sake decanter to keep it cold. First time seeing cold sake presented this way which was very cool. We tried Suntory draft beer since that was the only draft they had, which was odd since most Japanese places carry Asahi/Sapporo, definitely not as light as the other two beers I'm used to. Even though I was stuffed by the end, I didn't feel lethargic, everything felt light without compromising flavor. Service was attentive although our udon came at the very end, we thought they had forgot about it.

    There are a few restaurants in NYC that make you feel like you are stepping into a Japan portal,…read moreand Okatte Tanto is no doubt one of those. As you step into the restaurant, you immediately feel a sense of formality and strictness. It's also very quiet in the restaurant, and friendly to solo diners, adding on more to the Japan-esque feel. The food is high quality here, but the portions are small, and it is pricey. I would budget to spend around $100 a person here after tip and tax, if you ignore the prices on the menu and try a variety of things. The tuna from the bone is the most famous dish here, but I was not able to get it as they sell out very fast. But I tried the sashimi and it was high quality -- just that it was not enough food for me. But that makes it more in line with portions back in Japan. They have an extensive sake list and they also have the casual cocktail options like lemon drops you would find in Tokyo. The atmosphere really transports you straight into Japan if that is something you are looking for. Expect to pay a premium for small-ish portions, but at the same time very well-made and authentic food.
