I had to take one star off because this is definitely not a fine dining experience even though that is what they advertise themselves as. If it were not for the food I would have given this a two star review.
The experience was not pleasant. We were seated at a makeshift table, where the window was right behind me. My seat was the bench to the window (essentially where people sit to wait to be seated). I do not know if this is an everyday thing or because they were overbooked but this was not pleasant. The table was right next to the door, so everytime the door opens the wind blasts at us (it did not help that there was a kid that was running in and out of the restaurant). Other guests were standing right next to our table hovering right over us as we were eating and because they were waiting to be seated. For a "fine dining" restaurant there was nothing "fine dining" to it.
The food however was very good. The blending of Asian influences with a modern approach was very nice. The fried chicken was incredible. The inside was still super juicy and soft while the outside was very crispy. That was our favorite dish of the night.

The environment is good and the food is OK. But I don’t know if it’s because I went alone and took a few selfies with my phone. I feel that the waiter has a better attitude towards groups coming to eat.
Nice environment, great food. The service could be better tho, judging from the price. I went by myself and took a couple selfie with my phone, and the waiter seemed annoyed somehow😅

I was really excited to try Tuome for their contemporary Asian American menu. My favorite dish was their complimentary scallion puffs. They were very airy and crispy and reimagined the classic scallion pancake. I also loved the perfectly grilled foie gras in the scallop appetizer. However, I deducted a star for service because the waitress felt a little cold. She was still nice enough to gift us a free dessert at the end of the meal for my birthday, but given that this place has a Michelin star, I would’ve expected friendlier service throughout the night.
I normally am not someone who writes reviews, but I feel my experience at Tuome warrants it. To preface, my boyfriend and I went for our Valentine's Day dinner. It was a pre-fix menu so there was no ordering involved except for drinks. Our reservation was for 8:30pm, but we got there a little early so we probably sat around 8:25pm. We sat, ordered drinks and waited for the first course. The table to the right of us sat probably 15 minutes after us and I watched as they received and finished their first and second courses, all before we got our first. I was halfway done with my second drink before I decided to ask where our food was. By the time we got our food it was 9:25 (a full hour after we were sat) which in my opinion, for a Michelin star restaurant, is unacceptable. Not to mention, when the food did come, there was no explanation of how it should be eaten, how it was cooked, nothing. I'm assuming the lack of service was due to us looking like the youngest people in there, as others received better service and descriptions of the food. What rubbed me the wrong way too was the fact that after asking where the food was, and having had 2 drinks before my first meal, there was no offer of even a free drink. Of course, I didn't complain with the hopes of receiving something free, but come on. I've received better service at regular restaurants. The food and drinks are the only things saving this from a 1-star review. But would I go back? No. I would be more understanding if the service was slow for all, but it wasn't and that's what pissed me off the most. You can chalk my experience up to a bad day for the restaurant, but if this is the kind of service they have on a day where there's only 1 menu to follow the entire night, I'm not sure how a regular night with multiple different orders at once would go. Very disappointed.

Went to Tuome this past weekend. The food absolutely amazing! Food 4/5: Ordered the Scallop dumpling (this is mandatory!) must order! The Snow Crab(Devine!) the Seafood (out of this world.) the seafood dish is absolutely worth going there for that alone! I begged the busser to tell the chef how amazing that dish was. And we had the beignets dessert. I will say I could pass on this. It didn’t feel inspired and it lack flavor for us. If I didn’t get the dessert five stars! Service 3/5: We came there for our anniversary on Saturday at 7p reservation. Didn’t really feel welcomed. Felt rushed in a sense. They knew it was our anniversary but they didn’t show it. (I know we were not in an episode of “The Bear” but I was hoping, especially for a Michelin star restaurant, that they would say something, show some interest. Ask us why did we come to this restaurant for our day? Ask us anything. We didn’t expect free things but we expected some elevated service.) We didn’t get that from our server. She was very nice in the beginning but then she left and didn’t really ask any questions. Our busser was much more in tuned with us. Asked us questions, made us feel more welcomed than the server. I just wanted a more Michelin star experience ( whatever that even means.) Once we received our dessert the check came immediately without us asking for it. Again felt a bit rushed. felt like a great place for a date night. The seats were comfortable enough. My only complaint was I had a fork and a knife that had food on them when we sat down. Again, I normally don’t freak out about this because I simply just let the server know about it and move on but since the restaurant is highly rated I had to take a point away due to that. Overall: I think this place is great. We had a good time. 4/5 stars!
Cocktails and food were amazing. Out of everything we had I highly recommend the East Village Blossom and the Scallop Dumplings. Great experience and service all around. 🤍
It was fine. Good, even. But for the price ($200 for one) and reputation (one Michelin star) I was expecting more.
As a starter I had a quail. It was well cooked and the sauce was yummy, but at the end of the day that's all this was, a whole quail in sauce. Then I had a thing of lamb, which, again, well prepared, enjoyable, but in no way creative or out of the ordinary. As a side I had rice with Chinese sausage, which besides the presentation (it came wrapped in a steamed leaf) wasn't that much better than what you can get at any Chinese takeout. The dessert was a set of Asian-style beignets with a variety of toppings to apply yourself. The beignets themselves were bland, but the toppings were good. Taken together it was fine. You see the pattern. The drinks were also forgettable, both in presentation and flavor.
There was also a lack of attention to details when it came to the general experience. The table was wobbly. There was nowhere to put my coat (or at least I wasn't offered). I could look past that if the food was exceptional, but as established, it wasn't.
Overall this had the feeling of a niceish restaurant. If it had no star and I spent $100, it would have been an absolute gem and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. But at that price point I was expecting to be amazed, and I wasn't.
Refined, delicious Asian inspired cooking, in a beautiful setting. Service is accommodating and flawless.

Each plate is a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The handmade snow crab noodles are a standout, showcasing a perfect balance of textures and tastes. What truly elevates the experience, however, is Andrew, the owner. His passion for food and wine is palpable, and he takes the time to personally engage with guests, sharing the inspiration behind each dish. His recommendations are spot-on, and his warmth makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just a customer.
