Tsukimi is one of the most memorable dining experiences in NYC. The atmosphere is intimate and elegant, and every course is beautifully presented and thoughtfully paced. The seasonal ingredients truly shine, especially the pristine sashimi and refined warm dishes.

Exceptional food, warm hospitality, and flawless execution. Absolutely worth it.

A top notch kaiseki in NYC. Every detail here is perfection. The chef showcases extraordinary technique and artistry, curating seasonal courses that feel both authentic and inventive. Service is impeccable—professional yet genuinely welcoming—and the extensive sake menu elevates the experience even further.

I look forward to returning each season to savor the evolving menu.

Lovely kaiseki spot with a good range of high quality dishes. Service is attentive and intimate, while the space feels like you’re walking into someone’s very nice home. Loved all the dishes especially the truffle rice and Wagyu rolls. Well paced as well.

Fourth or fifth time here. My favorite dish and the highlight tonight was the persimmon soufflé with cashew ice cream. In the past I’ve had banana soufflé which was also out of this world. My first time here I had the dry-aged slow-cooked low-charcoal-fired duck. Tonight they had the same, but it was not dry-aged long enough, and not slow-cooked long enough over the charcoal fire. The meat was a bit wet and did not have a “snap” to it as the first time, nor was the skin crispy enough like the first time. Also, another slight mishap tonight was a bone in one of my fish dish. Not a big deal to me, but to others it may be. I wish them good luck and hope they will earn an additional Michelin Star next year.

Tsukimi was great. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We had the summer menu and you could really taste that the ingredients represented the season. A lot of places say they picked the ingredients based off the season, but its usually simply the ingredients were in season. Tsukimi’s selection actually tasted like summer.

By some incredible luck, we were the only ones dining here on a Friday evening. The staff was welcoming, attentive (but not overly so, which can occur when a restaurant is not fully occupied), and most importantly, the dishes were superb. Elevated simplicity with outstanding execution highlighted by unique condiments and savory broths. Both the wine and sake pairings complemented each dish without overpowering the gentle flavors. We have dined at many Michelin restaurants and this is easily within our top 10. Looking forward to returning here during out next NYC trip!

The food was well executed, every dish was flawlessly presented. If you are into fish, this place would be perfect for you. I personally wish they had some shell fish for a change of pace. The service was attentive, and the interior had a modern Japanese aesthetic with a minimalist touch.

However, the experience can vary depending on the other diners, as seating is intimate, you will be facing fellow diners through out the meal.

During our visit, the guests from the other row were very loud, to a point it was difficult for us to hear our own conversation and the explanations of each dish and pairing from the staff. Although it can’t be controlled by the restaurant, it is the nature of their seating arrangement, and for a Michelin starred restaurant I’d hope some solution would be suggested. Unfortunately it did negatively affect the dining experience hence only 4 stars.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Omakase at Tsukimi in New York City, and it was truly unforgettable. From the moment I stepped inside, the serene and elegant ambiance set the stage for an exceptional dining journey.

The Omakase menu was beautifully curated, showcasing the chef’s artistry and deep respect for traditional Japanese techniques. Each course was meticulously prepared, highlighting the freshness and quality of the ingredients. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with every bite offering a new layer of taste that surprised and delighted my palate.

The chef’s presentation was a work of art—thoughtful, intricate, and stunningly beautiful. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing detailed explanations of each dish that enriched the experience.

What truly stood out was the intimate setting and the personal connection with the chef. Watching each dish being prepared right in front of me added a unique and personal touch that elevated the entire experience.

If you’re seeking an authentic, refined Omakase experience in NYC, Tsukimi is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore the seasonal changes in their menu.

Would highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone who appreciates exquisite Japanese cuisine!

Tsukimi is a beautifully choreographed experience tucked in a basement that hardly announces its presence. The entrance felt like a secret, the kind you’re not sure you’re meant to find. While the food leaned more toward visual poetry than culinary brilliance—memorable but not Michelin 3-star memorable—the effort in presentation was earnest. The night ended with a formal farewell, like the final bow of a Broadway show. Lovely to witness once, but not something I feel the need to revisit.

I must say, it’s rare to find a Kaiseki style restaurant in a city that is overwhelmed by cheaply made omakase. From the introduction to every dishes that is presented, every detail is on point. Love how each ingredient is imported from Japan; carefully prepared and served. Love their plating and all the dinning wares. What stands out for me were the uni and caviar steam egg. The last course of the summer menu was amazing as well; the Wagyu beef with scallion. However, I do have to point out, on OpenTable they did mentioned that the course came with drinks pairing however, the reality is an extra of $200 per person.
