10/10 would recommend! I was in town for a quick work trip and decided to grab a reservation. This was also my first time solo dining at a nicer restaurant - s/o to the staff for making it so enjoyable! Ordered: egg, snow crab, and Chinese donut for dessert (plus the welcome dish) Highlights: all were delightful. The welcome dish was similar to pani puri but with scallion pancake and ricotta (more like an everythjng bagel) - super fun to eat. Egg - I've been craving deviled eggs and never had them fried! The flavors and execution was chefs kiss. Snow crab - surprised I was able to finish it but the flavor was rich, noodles were cooked to perfection (not too soft or hard). I wish I had bread or something to savor the sauce Chinese donut & ice cream - I asked my server to surprise me between the banana pudding and Chinese donuts. So glad she gave me the donut. It came with three little buns, a scoop of ice cream with a little red bean, honey citron spread, and a caramel sauce. Will def try this at home bc the citron as a spread was genius and so homey. read more

At first, Tuome was actually a bit of a pleasant surprise. They served a complimentary scallion oil pancake with cheese, shaped a bit like panipuri. The scallion flavor was strong, and surprisingly it worked well with the cheese and poppy seeds. It was probably the most interesting dish of the meal and raised our expectations for the restaurant at the beginning. But after that, it pretty much went downhill. For the appetizer, we ordered quail. The meat itself was fine, but the seasoning really didn't work. The smoked potatoes and the sauce were both very salty and slightly bitter. The sauce tasted a lot like hoisin sauce, but heavier and more greasy. We gave feedback and they did take the dish off, but what was quite ridiculous was that the server came over to explain that their sauce ratios are strictly made according to the recipe. Please... was she trying to teach us how to eat? Then we switched to their egg. To me, it felt like a supermarket deviled egg taken apart and reworked -- coated with a fried layer on the outside and then reassembled, with a bit of chili oil on top. Not bad, but really just very ordinary. It's not something you'd expect from a Michelin restaurant. For the main, we ordered the branzino. The fish itself was fine -- crispy skin and tender inside, no issues there. But the seafood cream underneath had the same problem: very salty. Overall, it felt like their seasoning leans heavy across the board, almost like they're trying to get you to order more drinks. The sausage sticky rice on the side was even more disappointing. It tasted like very standard Chinese-style sticky rice, honestly similar to what you'd get from a Chinese supermarket, and it was over-steamed -- the bottom layer was wet and falling apart. The most ridiculous dish was the pig out (for two). When we ordered it, the server specifically mentioned that the top part was specially prepared by the chef. What came out was just a plate of fried pork with two bowls of noodles. The pork was greasy and salty. It felt like they shredded lean meat, pressed it into blocks, and then deep-fried it, basically trapping all the oil inside. It managed to hit all the downsides of fried pork. By the end, it was overwhelmingly greasy. We thought the noodles might balance it out, but they were even heavier -- like a mix of peanut sauce and hoisin sauce, just doubling down on the richness. The portion is really more like for three; two people can't finish it. By the end, it was so heavy we were basically just drinking water to get through it. Overall, the whole meal felt like this: no real flavor, no real atmosphere, no real plating, no real creativity -- and not even a solid level of execution. It felt more like they recreated those "good-looking dishes" you see on Instagram, but only the surface, without any substance behind it. Honestly, I really don't understand why this place has a Michelin star. They even posted their press and mentioned that their roots are Asian -- but honestly, it feels like their roots are just hoisin sauce. read more

We came here with a group of 6 and highly recommend getting a reservation as this place was packed on a Friday night. We ordered: - octopus - quail - dumpling - creamy halibut - crab noodles - lamb - chicken - sweet potatoes - broccoli - fried beignets with ice cream(fried milk buns) - basque cheesecake topped with tropical fruits The portion sizes aren't meant for sharing so we ordered our own appetizers/entrees and just took bites of each other's food. The dishes were good and I love the fusion flavor profile. However, the highlights to me were the two desserts we ordered - basque cheesecake and fried beignets. You really can't sleep on these two items. The service was... strange? Our waitress had a weird attitude, not what I'd expect from a place with a Michelin Star. The food is good but I was a little surprised this place has a star. It doesn't really have the ambiance nor the friendly service that usually is presented at a Michelin star restaurant. Overall had fun trying all the dishes but probably won't come back again. read more

This restaurant is clearly overhyped. Service: terrible! From the sour greeting to actual wait staff rushed and rude service. Everything was haphazard and sloppy. The space is rustic but the restaurant was freezing when I visited and although patrons complained, the staff didn't care. Food was subpar; certainly not Michelin worthy. I'm not sure how they got on the list but this was one of the most disappointing meals I've had in a Long time. read more

Great food and twist on some classic dishes. The amuse bouche scallion puffs was such a great twist on my favorite dish (scallion pancake)! Don't forget to try the dessert - the chinese beignets was a fun twist on the classic fried buns (with condensed milk) dessert. read more

We had a good experience at Tuome. While we waited for our dishes, we enjoyed puffs complements from the chef. Snow crab pasta - wow, 10/10. The noodles were perfectly Al dente and I love how much crab was in our dish. High recommend! Pig for two - the pork is super crispy and juicy however the meat at the bottom was just a tad dry. The noodles were delicious and very savory. Again I love how the noodles were served el dente. And the salad was amazing and gave the dish freshness. I just wished it came with more salad to cut the richness and savoriness of the pot and noodles Dessert - very good. I love how the ice cream bowl came straight from the freezer and helped keep its cold crisp flavor. It's a make your own ice cream sandwich so you could make it how you want it. We had cut our bread in half and made 4 sandwich bites. It was very delicious The next next to us ordered the dim sum dish and it looked amazing. We'll be back next time to try that ! read more

We came here for restaurant week. It was not busy when we arrived at opening and we were seated immediately. The restaurant is dimly lit and cozy. The service was friendly and attentive for the most part. It did get busy later in the evening, and my water was empty for awhile before being refilled. They gave us scallion puffs with cream cheese and everything seasoning which was a nice complimentary amuse bouche. The squash with scallop was my favorite as it was unique and had a lot of components that worked well together. The snow crab noodle had a great texture and a good portion of snow crab. The chocolate mousse was only okay, and neither my friend or I finished it. The bathroom was really small and cramped. Overall definitely worth it for restaurant week and I would come back! read more

Tuome has been on my list for a few months and it definitely lived up to my expectations. Cuisine is Chinese inspired with interesting flavor combinations that aren't traditional, but taste amazing. For starters we went with the octopus, taro puff, and the scallop dumplings. The octopus was crispy and the whipped butter pairing was delicious. The taro puff is a bit more neutral flavor-wise, I'd probably skip it on my next visit. I loved the scallop dumplings. Such good flavor on the filling. Not sure if the foie gras added to the dish a ton but it was cooked well so I'll take it. For mains we did the halibut and the snow crab noodles. They're vague on the descriptions for these ( "Cambodian curry" is very open ended) but wow delicious. The halibut is a coconut curry and the snow crab noodles sauce is super rich and flavorful. We decided to get dessert since everything tasted amazing so far and the beignets were so cute. We made little ice cream sandwiches. Service was great and I love the lighting. Will be back for sure soon. read more

service 2/5 food 4/5 Overall enjoyed the food. The best thing was the free app at the beginning but everything was good. Snow crab could use more crab. The beignets were too oily but the sauces were amazing. however the service was bad. our waitress was extremely rude to us and made us so uncomfortably. we asked pretty reasonable questions about what was in a dish and if anything could be modified and she was immediately dismissive to us saying "she didn't know what was in the dish." When we asked for thoughts on which dish to pick, she gave us a huge amount of attitude and acted like we were stupid. I've never experienced so much rudeness and contempt from servers before. I understand everyone has off days so there's no need to be chipper, but this was just mean and made the start of our dinner so uncomfortable. Especially frustrating because of the expectations with the price point and michelin star. We still tipped 18% despite this awful service because I don't think everyone else deserves to be punished for 1 person's rudeness -- all the other workers were super nice and helpful. read more

I had the scallop dumplings, branzino, and chocolate mousse during my visit with my family. Overall the food was just mediocre and not worth the very high price of the meal, and was certainly below par for a Michelin rated restaurant in my experience. The service was OK, and the ambiance was below expectations. read more

Updating my review to say as a recurrent diner here (i come here at least 2 times a year), the food, service and ambiance continues to be top tier! I was thrilled to see that they brought back the chicken liver mousse as an app for restaurant week because it's SOOO GOOD! They need to bring it back to the original menu! Had my usual "Egg" and of course, still delicious. The snow crab continues to be a dish that I'll want on my death bed. And the dessert???? Wow. Blew me away. The chocolate is mousse, honey comb, chocolate cake pieces and hazelnut and it was so light but delicious. If you're a chocolate lover, this is for you. The "banana" dessert, which was a "tart", goat's milk caramel and almond and honestly, it reminded me of a banana pudding or those banana marshmallow pies that you get as a kid. It was perfect with fresh banana slices in it. I couldn't finish it because i was so full from my apps and entrees. Again, i cannot tell you how much i love this restaurant and i want everyone to come and experience it! read more

Came here as a party of 2 in May of 2024. I love how dimly lit the restaurant was and it really enhanced my atmosphere at the bar. The Scallion Puffs are on the house and is definitely one of the best on the house starters that I ever had. The eggs and scallop appetizers were excellent teasers to our main dishes. Both were bite sized, packed a surprising amount of flavor, and left us wanting more. The mains are on the smaller size. I got the Lamb while my friend got the Snow Crab. Both were like enlarged appetizers. Each were extremely tasty but still left us wanting a bit more. The Beignets were a cute, pleasant finisher. Overall, the experience and dishes were spectacular. Big eaters will be asking for larger portions, but I will definitely come back for the special occasion. read more

Tuome is a low-key restaurant in the East village serving Asian-American fusion dishes. The restaurant is easy to miss with blacklit windows and unassuming entrances. The dining area has wooden seats, close tables and lowlit, giving intimate dining vibes but are close to other people and can get a bit loud, though in a lively way. The staff were kind and attentive and helpful in describing and selecting dishes. They're primarily shareables though small enough to eat a couple solo. Reservations were quite easy to book and didn't require too much advance planning. The puffs with cream sauce came complimentary and was a nice starter with warm bites and solid cheese flavor. For dishes I got the hamachi which was refreshing with greens though not too memorable. For main I got the lamb paired with rice side that had kale, Chinese sausage and duck fat. The lamb was fine enough but a very small portion size and was oddly presented to me as in the picture, everything was only on half the plate. The rice tasted good but nothing noteworthy either. For dessert you're offered beignets with cream pairing - sweet and warm and satisfying to end the meal. Overall it's a fine meal but I missed out on the fusion aspect of dishes and thought it was high from price point for the quality and size of dishes. Would give it 3.5 stars and would cautiously return to try again! read more

Dishes were good but not great and ambience was very crowded. Expected a little more from a Michelin starred restaurant, especially given the price point. For example, the crispy pork dish was reminiscent of the classic HK crispy pork, except they changed out the usual cut of pork for a saucier version, which felt too heavy against the already oily and crisp skin. The lamb chops were good but also not too different from the lamb chops I can make at home (and less juicy too). read more

Went here for restaurant week and maybe expectations were too high but food, service, ambiance were definitely lackluster. Food was okay. We got the trout with curry which was mid. The crab noodles were pretty good. Service was terrible. Our waiter was upset or it felt like we were being rushed out of there. She would slam plates down and abruptly take plates and utensils away without a word and it was definitely awkward. Not sure if she was upset we were just there for the restaurant week but it was not welcoming or comfortable at all. Ambiance was mid. Plates, utensils, napkins felt like I was at a diner. It was a good experience but not sure if I'd be back anytime soon. read more

We visited Tuome (pronounced Taw-meh) on our wedding anniversary. The place is cozy with some feeling of sophistication. They do not impose a dress code, but do yourself a favor and show up dressed up; with the price you'll be paying, you might as well dress the part. We were seated on the left side of the entrance door for a table for two. I found the spot perfect for a date night; we have a bit of privacy with the rest of the diners. We started with a bottle of white wine from Portugal and ordered the dim sum tower. While waiting for it, we were served with an amuse bouche of ricotta poppy seed with round bread. It was a perfect start for our dinner. For the dim sum tower, it consisted of 4 pairs of different dim sum, mostly seafood. We particularly enjoyed the crispy lobster roll; it was also presented very nicely. Additionally there were scallop tarts, and shrimp crystal dumplings. For our main entree, we ordered the pig out, which is good for two people. It was crispy pork belly served with peanut noodles and a veggies salad with walnuts. They accommodated our request to change the dressing as we are not fans of walnuts. The pork belly was cooked to perfection, and the flavors complemented each other. The service here is impeccable. It was a perfect place for our wedding anniversary; we truly enjoyed our dinner here. read more

Phenomenal dinner! Located in the LES, Tuome is known as one of the most affordable Michelin experiences. The interior of the restaurant is cozy, service is amazing, and I would highly highly recommend a reservation. To start your meal, you're given complimentary puffed scallion bread with ricotta, which was amazing, light, and I loved the seasoning on the ricotta. We ordered quail and hamachi as our starters and I thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. The quail was (surprisingly) presented whole, but it was really easy to eat and full of flavor. The hamachi came out on skewers and was a diy-wrap experience, which was super fun (I would have appreciated if they gave us wipes for our hands or something though). I loved the sauces and garnishes that came with the hamachi and it was so fun to eat. For mains, we got the lamb and seafood clay pot. Both were stellar and I highly recommend the seafood clay pot. We ended our meal with Chinese beignets paired with red bean ice cream and a citrus puree. Loved the meal, and I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food at Tuome was delicious, however for a Michelin restaurant, I was expecting a bit more. We got the Hamachi, whuch was delicious! The Pig Out was good, however expected it to be a bit larger since it was for two - but was tasty nonetheless. The dessert was really tasty! All of our dishes happened to be DIY style, I would definitely get the hamachi and dessert again, but would want to try other entrees. The service was great, the ambiance felt a bit tight as we were very close to the tables next to us and kept getting bumped by people passing by behind the person sitting in the aisle seat. read more

Tuome is super cozy and unassuming with a tremendously welcoming staff, it felt like a warm hug on this very cold night. The Valentine tasting menu was 6 courses for $250 which isn't that affordable as far as Michelin goes, considering there aren't any additional treats provided throughout the meal. However, every dish was excellent, no notes for any of them. My favorites were definitely the mushroom/oxtail taro puff with black truffle (I mean, how could you not like this?!) and the snow crab. Overall a great experience with some really creative dishes/flavors. I also loved that they take a Polaroid of your party at the end of the nice - what a sweet gesture!! read more

East Village - Manhattan - NYC Arguably one of the most diverse culinary hot spots in the planet!! I'll be honest - I'm always scared of fusion cuisine. It's been drilled in my brain from multiple season of "no reservations" that fusion is usually a haphazardly executed mismatch of warring, stalwart culinary ideologies Tuome is clearly an exception to this. Their food is firmly grounded in Chinese roots but flowers into contemporary neo-Asian and potentially Euro inspired masterpieces. The dim sum tower for two has plenty of abstruse flavor notes that work beautifully (while also combining ample amounts of luxury ingredients that you'd expect at a 1 star), the pig out for two was a soliloquy of textures, the desserts (beignets and this chocolate MOUSSE) held me hostage at my tiny table, diving head first into gastronomic elysium. If Huxley found out about the futuristic fusion occurring at Tuome, I'm confident that Brave New World would have taken a more delicious twist (I mean who needs to read 20+ pages on a "hatchery") I'll surely be back - and you should consider your next dinner reservation here read more

Another great Michelin crossed off! This is the brainchild of a former Eleven Madison Park alum, and they offer Chinese-inspired dishes! I was really surprised by how delicious everything was, and I especially love the fusion take on some of the dishes. Service was awesome, and the servers have great recommendations! My co-worker and I shared the crab pasta, pig out (for two), and scallops. I would say the must-order dishes are the crab pasta and the pig out (for two). I already love crab and pasta separately, but what I really loved about the combination is that they do a fantastic job of not making the crab too salty or overpowering for the rest of the pasta. It was incredibly well balanced and creamy, and I honestly could've eaten this dish by myself. It was that good. We also really enjoyed the pig out (for two). It's reminiscent of traditional fried pork that you eat with Beijing duck or roast pork/chashu, and it tastes pretty similar too. They have a nice arugula salad with lychee, and the peanut sauce noodles the dish comes with is SO good. Such a great restaurant, and their dishes are delicious. Can't recommend enough! read more

At this point, I've eaten enough rotisserie chickens to feed a small army. Chickens look at me like the Covenant looked at Master Chief. If you never played Halo you won't get that reference, but that's on you. All this to say, the last month of my life has revolved around rotisserie chicken and I just needed a break. My coworker, whose food opinion I trust with my life, recommended we hit Tuome, which is a Michelin starred Asian influenced American restaurant. I honestly can't remember the last time I ate at a Michelin starred restaurant, so it was a welcomed switch up. We walked into the dimly lit interior surrounded by exposed brick walls lined with rustic mirrors, matte black light fixtures, and a vibe that felt like an upscale wine bar. The menu is tiny, with only 15 items total between appetizers, mains, and sides. I love a small menu, as you know they are locked in. I got a glass of red wine that I couldn't pronounce, and my coworkers got some cocktails that looked bomb. We ordered deviled eggs, octopus, snow crab noodles, pig for 2, and broccoli. I would have bet my life that I'd need to eat again after, but you actually get a decent amount of food here for a fine dining experience. I honestly loved everything, but the must gets are the snow crab noodles and the pig for 2. With the pig, you get cool little condiments that you can add to your pig at your own liking, and it comes with spicy peanut noodles. It was fantastic. It's definitely expensive in here, but if you have the bread it's worth it. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

Cozy restaurant with excellent food. Really interesting dishes. Stand out was the octopus, with the brown butter and foam potatoes it was one of the best octopus dishes I've ever had.

A friend of mine and I got a reservation at Tuome on a Friday night. We kept our drink order pretty basic with wine, but they have a few cocktail options if that's your mood. For food, we did the Octopus, Quail, Snow crab noodles, and Seafood Clay Pot. The food was really excellent and a great blend of flavors and influences. The mix of Asian and American styles worked really well and made for some delicious items. The Michelin star was well earned! Service was good. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we had water and were enjoying everything. Ambiance is nice too. It's a small place, so you're close to the other patrons. However, it was overly loud and we could still enjoy our conversation. Overall, very glad we finally made it into Tuome.

My sister and I have a tradition to take each other to Michelin star restaurants for each other's birthday. I found reservations open for this restaurant last minute, so decided to try it. The food was top notch, and the waitress was super attentive. We had a show to go to and notified the staff, and they were able to time out our meal perfectly so that we could leave in time to see the show. Some stand out dishes, where the snow crab pasta, the egg, and the pig feast. They even gave my sister a free dessert because it was her birthday. I really liked the à la cart style but if you're looking for a Michelin experience prefix menu this isn't your place. It is very humble in nature with amazing food, but the ambience is nothing special. read more

Nice ambiance with dimmed lights in the interior and candles at the tables. Recommend making a reservation online, but it was super easy to get a spot same day. I noticed some parties got seated without a reservation, so it may be possible to walk in as well. Food was delicious: - Complimentary appetizer: the balls were hollow and crispy and paired well with the ricotta and everything bagel seasoning - Quail ($26): small but tender and well seasoned. The mashed potatoes on the side were really smooth. - Snow Crab ($43): tasty but on the saltier side - Chicken ($37): the most tender and juicy chicken, even the breast pieces! Pleasantly surprised by the portion size as well. A bit too salty for my tastes but still highly recommend. - Chocolate Mousse ($14): not shown on the menu but the server informed us of the dessert options. A fair amount of dessert, the chocolate mousse was light, creamy, and worked well with the crunchy hazelnuts and soft chocolate cake. Service was excellent! Water was frequently refilled and the servers were very attentive. The whole experience made the prices well worth it. One tiny restroom in the back by the bar. We ended up having to wait in a line to use it. read more

I had the first reservation available for dinner, so I had my pick on where to sit. After a long day at work, I was relaxed by the lowkey ambiance. The complimentary Scallion Puffs with cream cheese were delightful, crunchy, and just light enough to warm you up to a delectable meal but not preemptively stuff you. The first order that came in was the Dim Sum Tower. It was packed with many different but complementary flavors. I think my favorite of the four was the shrimp dim sum on the bottom tier. The flavor party was taken down a notch with the Snow Crab Noodles, which had a distinct flavor that I can't find the words to describe, but welcomed and enjoyed. I was especially fond of how the noodles were cooked al dente and the juiciness of the crab. I finished off with the beignets that were fried to perfection and layered with the delicious vanilla ice cream. Needless to say, I left happy and satiated, though without the heaviness one might feel when having a big meal. I am looking forward to coming back soon with a bigger party to try the rest of the dishes that caught my eye read more

Tuome - Dim Sum Tower - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped by last night and really enjoyed our time here. Tuome has a wonderful cozy setting and the service is simply phenomenal. I started with the sour cherry mocktail which was excellent--they only have about one mocktail at a time on the menu, but that's not really a huge deal to me as long as it's good. The wine list was small, but went well with the menu. We ordered: - the dim sum tower (excellent, pricey, but a great, elevated take on all my classic dim sum favorites) - deviled egg (yummy--I enjoyed the fried egg white) - scallop (done in a dumpling form--I thought this was good and unique) - snow crab pasta (fantastic--maybe my favorite thing on the menu. absolutely loved the noodles, the dashi butter, and the lumps of snow crab) - lamb (ok this may have been my actual favorite thing that we tried. I'm not a huge lamb lover, but the sauce and the cook on this dish was perfection) - halibut (good and cooked perfectly. The tom yum sauce was good, but I wish it was a little punchier) - sticky rice (good, but as another person said, you could get this for much cheaper at a different restaurant. It's an elevated take on a dim sum classic, but it wasn't a must have) - eggplant (good) - broccoli (good) Overall, I really enjoyed our time here. For 3 people, the meal came out to about $500 after taxes and tip. As a daughter of Chinese/American immigrants, I thought it was so fun to try the dishes from my childhood with an elevated spin. I would definitely return, but maybe order a little less next time or maybe skip the sides since I think it was definitely too much food for 3 people. read more

Came to Tuome on a Saturday night and made a reservation about 1 week ahead without any issues. I would say street parking around the area is relatively easy to find. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor seating has nice vibe to it, overall the space is small, it felt a bit cramped. But the lighting and the environment were not bad. One thing that was somewhat of an issue is the bathroom. It is very small and only 1 stall, so both times I had to go to the bathroom there was at least a 5 min wait. Service was very nice, our servers were very attentive about the water refills and everything was pretty efficient. Food was amazing. I mean everything tasted great. We had the scallop dumplings and quail for appetizer, had the lamb (amazing) and snow crab pasta for entrees, and broccoli and rice as sides. All of them met expectations and a couple exceeded expectations. We also got the Chinese beignets for dessert and got a glass of white wine. The Asian fusion part of the cuisine is nicely done and I felt like they put a clever twist of Asian fusion in all the dishes. In the end though, we thought it was a little overpriced. Compared to some other Michelin star restaurants, we did not feel like we got enough food that was worth the amount we paid. That being said, definitely worth the try, very solid cooking! read more

This is a bit of a rant on our dining experience at Tuome, we had come here to celebrate a friend's birthday and had a bad experience with the staff here that led us to be disappointed considering that this is a newly minted one michelin star. We arrived early for our reservation and checked in with the host who told us that we cannot accommodate us because we arrived 20 minutes early with a 'tude. We felt like that wasn't very nice but understand that working in hospitality can be rough so we hung out at a bar nearby while waiting to be seated. We had a little it too much fun playing pool at the bar across the street and came back for our seating 10 minutes past our reservation thinking that hopefully our table will be ready by now, however the table was once not ready. We stood by the door waiting another 10 to 15 minutes for our table, 20 to 25 minutes past our reservation time and felt like the host didn't give 2 ***** about us. I don't even recall a "Thank you for waiting or I'm so sorry for the wait". When we finally sat down, we asked the waitress for any recommendations for items on the menu and felt like she was trying to sell us to the highest priced items on the menu. When we declined to order any drinks because we had a few at the bar across the street while waiting, we felt neglected throughout the meal. In terms of the food, Tuome serves asian fusion which was very tasty. We had tried the devil eggs, the various types of dumplings, snow crab noodles, and the pig out, and other various sides on the menu, everything was delicious. However we will not be back because we did not feel welcomed and did not enjoy the close seating in this restaurant. read more

I had to take one star off because this is definitely not a fine dining experience even though that is what they advertise themselves as. If it were not for the food I would have given this a two star review. The experience was not pleasant. We were seated at a makeshift table, where the window was right behind me. My seat was the bench to the window (essentially where people sit to wait to be seated). I do not know if this is an everyday thing or because they were overbooked but this was not pleasant. The table was right next to the door, so everytime the door opens the wind blasts at us (it did not help that there was a kid that was running in and out of the restaurant). Other guests were standing right next to our table hovering right over us as we were eating and because they were waiting to be seated. For a "fine dining" restaurant there was nothing "fine dining" to it. The food however was very good. The blending of Asian influences with a modern approach was very nice. The fried chicken was incredible. The inside was still super juicy and soft while the outside was very crispy. That was our favorite dish of the night. read more

Get to the Chase Overall great place to try, but a bit out of the way and some knockout dishes with others not as impressive as one would have thought. Appreciate the spin on some Chinese classics, but the premium price didn't seem worth it. Pros: 1) 2 apps, pork for two + snow crab + 4 drinks and 2 desserts came to $400 for two people and 20% tip, which wasn't bank breaking like other Michelin manhattan places 2) Service was fast and waiter was super helpful in advising what would pair best 3) Scallop appetizer and hazelnut desserts were standouts 4) Not stuffy high brow vibes, much more cozy 5) Extensive wine list Cons: 1) 2 dishes used the same exact noodles, which I can appreciate saving time but seemed a bit lazy for this level of prices 2) Rice side dish was not worth it 3) Some really great dishes, but others were a bit lackluster and could have used some acid to break the heaviness read more

(Overall: F) - Overall, despite Tuome being a Michelin one star restaurant, my experience was not positive. While the menu items do sound interesting in concept, I feel like there were technical inadequacies across various dishes that seem to miss the critical ideas of the original dishes before adding their own twist. To further sour the impression, while I apologize for the guests I was with that made very unreasonable requests to the kitchen, I do not appreciate receiving sassiness from the staff unnecessarily intejecting when I was attempting to resolve such situation myself. (Scallion Pancake Puff: D) - The concept of this scallion puff is interesting but I am not quite convinced this is a good concept because the beautiful layering of the pancake is no longer available; in addition, I am personally not a fan of the everything bagel and cream cheese pairing as I feel this is a bit too far away from the traditional Asian route. (Pig Out: F) - This dish is supposed to be a take on the Cantonese crispy pork I think, but I am not exactly sure whst happened to the pork meat because it tasted like they removed all the fat, shredded it, and then reconstructed it into cubes, which is bad because the best part of that original dish is the layer of crispy skin to fat to meat. Furthermore, the peanut noodles didn't really pair with this dish and was a bizarre addition. (Crab Noodles: F) - The crab noodles here were undercooked (much harder than the peanut noodles). The flavor is nice and not overpowering, but was disappointing that the dashi component was not brought forward more. (Lamb: B) The lamb was very tender and worked well with the chimichurri and puree for additional flavor. I felt that the presentational aspect was a bit lacking though, but perhaps to the fault of some borderline unreasonable requests of others within my party rather than the chef. -- Food: -1 Presentation: E Price: -1 Atmosphere: -1 Service: -2 Menu: +1 Overall: -3 F Insta/Beli: @amei_eats read more

Came back here to treat out my friends who helped with our wedding and new apartment. We got to try quite a few dishes. We got the complimentary scallion balls again which was a big hit with everyone. Snow crab noodles: these were again good and seems to be a standard on the seasonal menu. Pig out: it was not so impressive compared to juicier pork that I've had elsewhere. Not bad though and the peanut noodles did shine through with their chewiness. I think Tuome does noodles very well. Halibut: it was good too and the sauce was interesting like most of the othe sauces. I wish we had bread to soak it up to eat. Scallops: this iteration was in the form of the dumplings and my favorite dish in this meal (tied with the lamb). Lamb: a surprise hit for me. I like lamb but I prefer seafood over meat but this was so tender and flavorful. Those who don't like lamb normally appreciated it as well. Rice: steamed rice with Chinese sausage. I liked this as well but you can get similar versions at cheaper restaurants. Octopus: tender and good too The Cocktails were great too. Tried the east village blossom, blushing Sangria, and the fire in the sky, and you really can't go wrong with any of them. read more

Came here since they've won Michelin 3 years in a row. Ambiance is okay, the service was decent. They were so kind to provide a complimentary scallion pancake appetizer which was really interesting. It tasted like an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese bagel puff. The octopus (3/5) Octopus was a bit chewy, the flavor they paired it with was a potato cream with Chinese sausage bits which was very different Lamb 3/5 This was decent but it didn't justify the price point because it lacked the Michelin flavor I was looking for. Snow crab pasta 3/5 First time having snow crab, tasted pretty fishy, so I wasn't a huge fan. The pasta was good, but I wish there was slightly more flavor/creamier. Had high expectations for this place but sad to say it does mot justify the price point. read more
