Great tempura tasting menu, I was honestly impressed by the thought in every dish. The server was also really accommodating as well, I will be back!

Best hidden gem in the city! I had bookmarked this place over a year ago, and I finally decided to try it out for my 30th birthday. I’m so glad I did, I wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate anywhere else. After nearly three years of living in NYC, I can confidently say this was the best dining experience I’ve had (disclaimer: I’m a foodie lol).
The owners, Ari and her husband, Chef Atsushi Yokota, and the restaurant manager Daimu, go above and beyond to create an exceptional dining experience for every customers and you can truly feel their passion. The food was absolutely top notch. Chef Yokota holds incredibly high standards for every ingredient, sourcing them with care to ensure everything tastes like it’s straight from a top-tier restaurant in Japan.
The tempura was phenomenal, we savored every single piece. Thank you again for the unforgettable experience. We’re def coming back soon!

Amazingly delicious! They truly captured the omotenashi spirit, with a playful touch of combining Japanese and western flavors. The tempura was perfectly fried - something that's very difficult to achieve even at other restaurants. The service was also so welcoming - omakase can be a bit pretentious at times but this place kept the elegance of washoku while also maintaining a warm experience for the customers. We will be becoming regulars here - such a gem of a place!

Great place to celebrate a special occasion, the intimacy of only six customers allowed the staff to make everyone’s experience unique. I have highly recommend Secchu Yokota to my friends.

Do not miss out on this experience! I almost never review restaurants, but this place is very special. The service is excellent and the food is flawless. I was at the latest seating (8pm) and it was a leisurely affair with plenty of time for conversation.

This experience really reminded me of Japan. Everything cooked here was made with excellent quality and care.
Food: The course I had ended with a Cod entree, which was very good. Made to perfection. The ingredients were very fresh. I don't know if the food is worth the price, however, it is definitely worth it for the experience if you miss Japan.
Environment: Cozy restaurant that would make you feel like you stepped into a restaurant in Japan. The Chef, kitchen, environment all would make you feel like you're in a different country.
From food to service, every aspect of this place is absolutely amazing. It truly felt as if I was in Japan with the ambiance the space provided. Thank you so much for the experience 🙇
Fantastic on all counts. Everything was fantastic. Easily the best tempura I've ever had ever (naturally). Don't worry, it isn't 100% tempura, but it is 100% delicious and unique. Everything goes well with everything. Sake recommendations are worth getting as well, as they give you a few tastes before you need to commit to what you order. The setting is intimate and really special. Seats 6 people. A lot of fancy places are pompous, but this was not. Just really, really tasty, and really special. I will recommend this place to everyone I talk to, and I don't think I will be able to shut up about how good it is for the next month. And it doesn't break the bank; it's not more expensive than any other quality omakase experience in Manhattan (and less than many), but absolutely superior, worth every penny and then some.

Enjoyed the meal very much. It’s mostly tempura (about 8 pieces), but there were 3-4 non-tempura dishes. Great ambiance and service!
