Such a good omakase every time, you can't go wrong. Make sure you sit at the bar, makes the experience the best. Staff is attentive, food is delicious, timing is perfect (about an hour), price is right.
This was amazing! The omakase was reasonably priced and the quality of everything was superb. My favorites were the unique, unagi, oyster, and A5 wagyu. Out chef Wei was so kind and communicative. I also liked the fact that you could order a la carte after the omakase.

Affordable fresh Omakase in Manhattan! Highly recommend for its selection of fish and A5 Wagyu from Japan, and its price point.

Loved it! My favorite omakase experience ever so far. So good, so fresh, and every dish felt unique. Also such kind and hospitable employees! Really loved our experience there.
Bar seats were too compact. Food was okay in general but I expected more quality given the price range and compared to other < $100 omakase places. Service was great

SO GOOD AND WORTH IT FOR ITS PRICE! The sushi bar was very simple yet aesthetic. The quality and the amount of courses (13) you get is definitely worth it for the price of $89 per person. Server is nice and so are the chefs. I was never a big oyster fan but when i tasted the oyster appetizer with yuzu cream and salmon roe beneath, i was mind blown. Definitely a highlight for me. King salmon melted in my mouth like butter. (Photos from every course below + handroll)

I was the only person today who came to the 5:00 p.m. reservation, and I was a little nervous because I came alone, and the entire restaurant was empty because it was the first round. But the host was very friendly, along with the chef as well! Wei was very informative, and we talked about ourselves in terms of what foods we like, where he's from, and he asked about me too and my ethnic background, which was really nice. Everything was delicious, my favorite being the uni, wagyu, and the toro.

I went here a few months ago and I did counter service. It was an amazing experience that i wanted to bring a friend. We could only do table around the time and boy, was this experience dreadful. I'm embarrassed to have even brought my friend, the server was rude and during the description of the food he was quiet and rushed. But as i picked up one of the dishes with my chopsticks, someone took the plate immediately. The dishes ranged from mediocre to good, about 4 dishes were really good. The rest were not worth the price.

I recently went to TAKUMI OMAKASE with close friends and had a truly enjoyable evening! The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with a simple yet refined decor, especially the sushi bar design, which makes you feel very comfortable and welcomed.
The quality of the food was impeccable; each dish was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The chef’s skills are top-notch, and the freshness of the sashimi and sushi, along with the unique flavor combinations, provided a delightful experience for the taste buds. The entire Omakase process allowed us to appreciate the unique charm of Japanese cuisine, with every bite showcasing the freshness of the ingredients and the care put into each dish.
The chef introduced each course, sharing insights on the ingredients and flavors, giving us a deeper appreciation of each dish. The waitstaff were also very friendly and attentive to our needs, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this restaurant! TAKUMI OMAKASE is perfect for any special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself to a wonderful meal! Looking forward to coming back!
