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.

This is my go-to kaiseki restaurant in the city. The food is always exquisite, and the service team is so sweet and kind. They even remember me every time I come in!

This restaurant offers what can be described as a private dinner experience. Guests are sitting at two counters facing each other, between which the two or three servers walk and present to each party the succession of dishes coming from the kitchen, which you can see at one end of these two counters. The atmosphere is hushed, the seats comfortable, and the space between the counters is wide enough that conversations among members of each party remain private. The ambient noise is low, a rarity in New York City restaurants. The dishes are all flavorful, meticulously prepared from fresh ingredients, many of which come from Japan, and artfully presented. The service is welcoming, friendly without being obtrusive, knowledgeable and helpful. The selection of wines and sakes to accompany the food is extensive. A very pleasing and memorable experience, well worth the price.

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.

I was on the wait list and didn’t have too much hope to really get a seat. But in the morning of that day, I got an email saying there were two seats available and I booked right away. The dinning experience turned out to be awesome and the food was delicious. Such a memorable night.

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.

Amazing service and excellent Kaiseki. My husband and I enjoyed our dinner here very much. We appreciated the awesome service by the two servers. Wonderful flavors and presentation of the food.

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.

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.

Not really all that special of a place. Staff is absolutely fantastic. Food is average. Don't expect to meet the sushi chef (was there even a sushi chef) or to get any sushi/sashimi. Basically avoid.

Novel and intimate 12 sear restaurant with six servers presenting about 12 courses to 12 diners. Each small dish is a gateway to Japanese Cuisine. The exterior is almost that that of a speakeasy; it's without signage, nondescript, rather hidden. Once down a few stairs, it's welcoming, simple, elegant.
