Amazing staff, incredible food and presentation. I mentioned in a separate note that this is for a birthday and they surprised us with a beautiful dessert.

Executive Chef Manabu Asanuma displays his creative genius at Muku with a memorable Kaiseki dinner. Every course was spectacular. We highly recommend Muku.
Aidan
Everything was terrific: the food, the wine choices, the ambience, the service. A great destination restaurant addition to the neighborhood. I can't wait to go back.
Ina
Amazing kaiseki meal with fresh seasonal ingredients, expertly crafted by the chef. Every dish was delicious and the pacing of the courses was great as well. Left feeling very full and very happy.

Amazing fall menu! Everything from the fried anago to the Mont Blanc dessert! The chef even made a delicious pudding with a special caramel sauce for my partner bday. Would come back again! Get the signature cocktail to start!
Yuko
The broth was perfectly seasoned and delicious, with delicate flavors and the chef's cooking done with care and love. The dessert was light and delicious. I was very full after all the food, but my stomach didn't feel heavy. Gochiso sama deshi ta. I would love to comeback again.
Tina
The simply cooked yet beautifully presented dishes were incredibly flavorful, especially the eggplant! Will definitely go back to Muku to try the different seasonal vegetables very soon!
Michael
It was a wonderful experience and the wine/sake paring was wonderful— the experience and customer service was extremely welcoming. The food was on point. I just came back from Japan and so wonderful food journey.
Marissa
Impeccable service, delicious food. Lucky to have been seated infront of chef. Some of the most delicious pieces of sushi I've had

Had dinner at Sushi Ichimura tonight. The omakase was exceptional and the chef was warm and professional — no complaints about the food. But the experience ended on a very disappointing note. After the meal, we were suddenly told Apple Pay wasn't accepted due to a “system issue.” Without our consent, staff had already refunded our original payment and demanded we pay the full amount again. This was a prepaid meal — we only added one bottle of sake — and yet we were asked to reauthorize over $1,200. The manager then implied that past Apple Pay disputes were the reason, which felt like an accusation. As a restaurant owner myself, I found the whole situation poorly handled and deeply disrespectful. Rules were changed after the fact, and it was treated as a trust issue — not a tech issue. The chef remained gracious and apologetic throughout, and it's clear he doesn't deserve to be stuck in this kind of management. Diners spending this much should be treated with clarity and respect — not suspicion.
Outstanding meal. Everything was so delicious and there was a good variety on the menu. We were able to try some items that we've never had before. The dessert was phenomenal as well!
Zixuan Cheng
Best omakase in NYC. Best experience ever. His dishes are generous in portion, uniquely seasoned, and delicious. The chef is also very courteous, personally seeing off every guest at the door. I’ll definitely come back again!

Chief is nice, but at the least the night we were there, food selection is not impressive to that price point.
Jason Lee
Stellar food from start to finish with appetizers on par with the nigiri. Chef is incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating.
Marc
Absolutely exquisite in every detail, as one would expect from a master sushi chef. Delectable fish, innovative and classic presentation, perfect wine pairings, attentive service, and a friendly presence in charge of it all.
