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.

This is a wonderful culinary journey! Each course is unique, delicate, dynamic and exciting! The service is wonderful making it truly a world class experience.

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.
Since my Japan trip earlier this year, I have been craving kaiseki, and cravings must never be left unattended, so here I am at @tsukiminyc. The stunningly minimal counter befits the precise 12-course menu that accentuates the elegance of simplicity. Ingredients flown in from all over Japan, showcasing the beauty of autumn. Everything was delightful and well thought out. As someone who loves light flavors, this is, with ease, one of my favorite experiences in New York.

We were seated near kitchen so it was kinda loud you can hear all the dish and pots. The restaurant is beautiful however the setting of the restaurant is weird so waitresses had to constantly walk (fast) across the restaurant in front of me. Not to mention the couple sitting across us were literally snogging on each other during the whole meal. Not restaurant fault i know. But i def wouldn't say it matches my expectation at all as it's a Michelin one star.
The food was okay, nothing impressive though compared to other kaiseki places I've been. My favorite was the mango ice cream. Overall, I don't think it worth $250 pp at all.

I had such a wonderful experience at Tsukimi! The staff was very accommodating with the plans I had after my reservation. They were extremely friendly, personable, and knowledgeable of the food and culture around the Kaiseki menu! The food came out spectacularly as well! I cannot wait to dine here again!!

Tsukumi isn't just a restaurant, it's an entire experience. They have done a fantastic job on the menu and the level of service and attention you get. Portions sizes are small to begin but they wrap up with larger portions toward the end of service so you don't leave feeling hungry. Drinks were fantastic as well. Highly recommend!

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!
