Kun Tsuki Omakase continues to be one of my favorite affordable omakase spots in NYC. I recently tried their updated 16-course menu, and it exceeded my expectations. From the appetizers to the final sushi courses, everything was fresh, flavorful, and expertly crafted. The fish quality was excellent, portions were satisfying, and every course felt intentional. It's rare to find this level of quality and attention to detail at this price point. The service was warm and welcoming, and the intimate counter seating made the experience even more enjoyable. For just $89, this is one of the best omakase values in New York City. read more

Really solid omakase experience in Hell's Kitchen. Kun Tsuki delivers a focused, chef-led tasting that feels intimate without being overly formal or intimidating. The fish was fresh, well-prepared, and the pacing of the courses felt just right. Standouts for me were the torched toro with caviar and the salmon with ikura, simple but executed perfectly. It's impressive how they manage to keep the quality high while still being more accessible price-wise compared to other NYC omakase spots. Service was attentive, the space is modern and clean, and the whole experience feels smooth from start to finish. Definitely a strong option if you want a good omakase without breaking the bank. read more

Absolutely LOVED this spot. We got in for an early dinner at the 5pm slot, and we had a very nicely paced meal. All the plated starters were very delicious and had unique flavor combinations. The fish itself was incredible, the salmon with foie gras had me coming back for seconds (literally). The egg with crab was also a unique dish that was an absolute star. And to top it off, the desert was the perfect level of light and sweet/tart, a perfect finish to the dinner. Overall a very friendly staff, very high quality food, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back! read more

It's a fast-casual omakase spot. I personally thought most of the pieces were overly dressed for my preference (which is typical of these fast-casual spots). It's a no-frills type of vibes and I like that they gave you an app and dessert. It's tasty, but there are definitely better spots in this area. read more

If there's one non-touristy thing you gotta do in NYC, it's try omakase -- and Kun Tsuki in Hell's Kitchen/Upper West Side is the spot. For $89, you get 16 courses: two starters, a wide range of super fresh fish (cut thick and generous), and dessert to finish. You can really taste the care in every piece. My favorites were the seared scallop, sweet shrimp with uni, and the fatty tuna with caviar -- literally melt-in-your-mouth good. Such a perfect date night or special meal without breaking the bank. Definitely check out Kun Tsuki the next time you're in the city! read more

We came here for the $45 lunch omakase on a Sunday, and it was a great experience! Every piece of fish was fresh and I especially loved the scallop. I normally don't like raw scallop since I've only had stinky or chewy ones, but this one was so clean and soft. I even ordered a second one after we finished the omakase. Other items included blue fin tuna, monkfish liver, salmon, and kanpachi. The service was friendly and quick. Reservations were easy to make. We made it a day before and there was tons of availability. read more

My first omakase experience did not disappoint! From the moment I walked in the service was attentive, kind, and consistent. The fish was so fresh! My favorite was the toro with the caviar on top. There were only 2 other people in the restaurant so we talked and enjoyed together. I would love to come back when I'm in Manhattan again read more

Pretty good for the price! It's probably closer to 5 stars if you factor in how reasonably priced it is. All of the pieces were pretty good and no complaints about service. Just didn't quite hit 5 stars for me bc there was no piece that particularly wowed me or stood out, which is what I usually save for 5 stars. I do love that it's BYOB, though they have a decent sake menu now. read more

With sooo many new omakase restaurants opening up, it really seems like they all serve the same fish or have the same offerings. This spot in particular I was pretty impressed as they have an 18 course, which includes 2 appetizers, 1 miso soup, 13 nigiri pieces, 1 hand roll, and 1 dessert. The fishes are fresh and once you get to the fattier pieces later in the course, you start to drool. The two appetizers that we started out with are unique and were a great way to start the course. This was followed by a shrimp miso soup, which was not salty and pretty refreshing compared to other miso soups. The nigiri is served from lean to fatty. I fell in love with the salmon and foie gras piece and the otoro and sturgeon caviar pieces. It doesn't get any better than this. This ended with a tiramisu piece that tasted like a Klondike bar. Overall, this is worth the $98 due to the high quality pieces. read more

Still on a mission to find the best affordable omakase place in NYC. While this place is solid, it wasn't memorable enough for it to be THE ONE. I will say that I didn't come out starving, which is rare for me after most omakase places. For 16 pieces, the bill (after tax and tips) came out to be ~$116. read more

Kun Tsuki Omakase Xtra is a total hidden gem. The fact that it's right near my house feels like I hit the sushi jackpot. The value is incredible, the service is outstanding, and the fish is unbelievably fresh. The vibe is relaxed and inviting. The staff is warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They make you feel welcome the second you walk in. The omakase? So fresh it might as well have come straight off the boat. Each piece is expertly prepared and thoughtfully served. No gimmicks, just quality ingredients handled with care. The appetizers are also a highlight. The shrimp head miso soup is rich, savory, and absolutely packed with flavor. One time they served monkfish liver and I'm still thinking about it. Creamy, bold, and perfectly balanced. And yes, the unlimited sake is very real. Good pours, great temperature, and somehow still included in the price. You feel like you're getting away with something. I've been to omakase spots all over the city. This one holds its own and then some. Already looking forward to my next visit. read more

$85 for 18-piece omakase + BYOB is a great deal to find in the city - only pay $10 corkage fee and enjoy! Honestly can't wait for my next visit! The service was great and they already had our pieces lined up and ready to go. Everything was very fresh and delicious - I particularly enjoyed the Wagyu piece: melted in my mouth. There's limited seating so it feels more intimate but the staff is also very inviting and welcoming, so the space feels more comfortable. read more

Good omakase deal. The food is done well, but don't expect 5 star service. There's a nice variety in the omakase set. The chef does an excellent job of creating pieces with a flair. There's use of yuzu, jalapeños, and an assortment of other flavors. I am normally not a big fan of uni, live scallop, sweet shrimp... but here I loved every piece! The ambiance is fairly simple. Recommend getting chef-side bar seating if possible. Bathroom is clean. read more

Kun Tsuki is the best bang-for-your-buck omakase I've had in the city. For $85, you get 18 courses of insanely fresh sushi, and every piece had a unique flavor profile that highlighted the fish instead of overpowering it. The pacing was great and the staff was super welcoming, making the whole experience even better. read more

Kun Tsuki Omakase Xtra - Shrimp and uni | Instagram: GaoGirlsGrubbin - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Overview: 18 courses for $89 (before tax/tip) is a great deal and the quality of the nigiri was outstanding for this price point. There is the counter and side table, I recommend the counter. This place has only been open for 3 months, I can see it getting busier with time. I think that there is a 20% discount somewhere you might can find online for reservations during the weekdays. Service: Everyone was super friendly and happy, good mood throughout the night. I would only suggest that the timing of the items be a little less rushed. At times, the chef would place 2 pieces on your plate before you're done chewing. Food: My favorite scallop piece in the city so far. The sea bream was also pretty memorable. Loved the matcha custard at the end. The pieces are on the smaller side, but with 18 courses, I was pretty satisfied. Would happily come again! read more

Food 4/5 Value 4/5 Service 4.5/5 (deduct a little bc they forgot one of our friend was allergic to shrimp) Came here for galentines and ambience was great! But caveat that all pieces felt extra small about half the size you would typically get? 18 course for $90 seems worth but the size of each piece makes it just okay Hamachi 4/5: decent yellow tail but not a fan of the honey mustard combo Shiso leaf with uni 3/5: liked the shiso leaf but not the uni Kampachi 4.5/5: slowly getting better Miso soup 4/5: enjoyed the miso soup and loved the mushrooms but wish it had more flavor Seabream 4.5/5: tasted fresh and good Fluke 4.5/5: it paired well with the spicyness Spanish mackerel 4.5/5: very smooth and juicy Sable fish 5/5: loved the smokiness and flavor was full of umami Squid 4.5/5: enjoyed the squid very fresh to the mouth Scallop 4.5/5: tasted fresh but the wasabi was a little too strong for this one Sweet shrimp 3.5/5: looks fresh but doesn't taste that fresh Salmon 5/5: very delicious maybe one of my faves here Blue fin tuna 4/5: good flavor but not too smooth Fatty tuna with caviar 5/5: very gooood, exactly what you can expect from fatty tuna but also veryyyyy thin Fresh water eel 4/5: usually enjoy my eel more but this one was just okay Wagyu 4.5/5: amazing which is what you can expect from Wagyu but literally half the size where you get at other omakase restaurant so def disappointed in size read more

I heard about this new spot through social media and immediately booked a reservation to check it out. $85 for 18 courses is an absolute steal but lots of places have hopped onto the trend of "$100 and under omakase", so what is crucial is the quality and service that can set them apart. Since this spot is new, there weren't many people, but I believe that should soon change. I enjoyed all my pieces but I will throw out my small gripe very quickly. The fish to rice ratio was just slightly off in my opinion. Some of the pieces sometimes didn't seem to have enough rice and so it would sort of be a bit difficult to easily pick up. This only happened to a couple pieces, not all. The tiramisu at the end also tasted a bit off, like it was stored for a while since the texture was a bit harder than a typical tiramisu. Other than that, I truly had so much fun dining here and the quality of the fresh was very fresh. The service here is wonderful as well. I noticed how attentive they were to each customer and made sure they were comfortable. They had even pulled out my chair for me and after each customer was finished dining, they would clean and sanitize the area and replace the mats. The chefs were also incredible. I had a lovely time chatting with one of the chefs who I had learned had been in the sushi business for about a decade! They speak Chinese here and I was able to converse with them and I could hear how proud he was of each piece which I absolutely adored. The chef made the experience really enjoyable and he was working very diligently on each piece. From the preparation of each fish, to the intricate cuts, and portions of every individual piece - this is why you pay for omakase.i am excited to come back and so happy that they are having such a successful start to their business! read more

I really enjoyed our experience here! First of all the service was amazing. The staff was really nice & helpful. They asked about dietary restrictions in the beginning which was nice. It was our first omakase so I would say we throughly enjoyed the selection & were full afterwards. My favorites were probably the scallop & the shrimp. I also enjoyed the tiramisu at the end. They did make a mistake with one of the pieces which was a salmon with seared goose liver on top but they remade one immediately since I'm a pescatarian so my partner had an extra one. For the wagyu piece, they made a salmon roe one for me. All in all we really enjoyed our experience! read more

New omakase spots emerging are the best thing ever and this one in Hell's Kitchen proved to be a quality pick! From the unlimited sake to a variety of nigiri, apps, and dessert in their $85 18-course and a current 50% off a la carte items, this should be your next omakase reservation. The service was top notch and the sushi chef was super skilled. The amberjack, scallop, sweet shrimp, and fatty tuna were some of my favs. The nigiri was so soft and succulent. They also serve a hot miso soup and seaweed tempura. At the end, the tiramisu was superb. Better than some that I had at dessert places! read more

The timing of the service here wasn't great. Our first course (miso) came out before we'd ordered drinks. And it often felt like we were still chewing when the next piece of fish was placed in front of us. That said, I understand the Theatre District goal to get people in and out quickly. (We were in and out very very quickly, LOL.) The food was very good, and it feels like $85 for an 18 course omakase is a pretty good deal. We particularly enjoyed one of the appetizers -- a seaweed cracker -- but all the nigiri was nice. Certainly not the best, but nothing was bad -- not remotely. I liked the dessert too: a very small piece of tiramisu with what seemed like rice crisps in it? read more

Amazing affordable omakase. Has the 18 course omakase for just $85. And same is free (nice mild and sweet sake was perfect) Courses were all good but standouts were wagyu beef, fatty tuna, seared salmon and uni appetizer. Hope the prices don't go up as this is a very good value meal read more

Service was great and efficient and for that alone, I'm giving 3 stars. Overall, the food was incredibly mid. The fish, ranging from uni, mackerel, hamachi, tuna, etc. was overpowered by the globs of wasabi, hot sauce, or truffle paste. The quality of the fish when we could taste it was meh. The pieces were pre-sliced and kept in a box until it was time to put them together and my friend noticed that several pieces were drier than others. The only standout pieces from the whole set were the salmon and the scallop. The chef that we were put with seemed a bit nervous about serving and often whispered the fish so we didn't know what we were eating at times. read more

Everything was great, blue fin tuna was our favorite but the monkfish liver was a close second. Very accommodating to my shellfish allergy. Very much worth the price and very casual. 10/10 read more

OMG. Five stars isn't enough. This was a totally random find for me close to my hotel and the entire meal (and value for the money) is insane. It's an $85 omakase but I'd have paid easily twice that for the value. The service is a bit rough (not bad, just not perfectly nuanced) but this place could win a star. Seriously try it. read more

At @kuntsukiomakase, it was more than just dinner. It was a whole experience where the chef guided us through textures and flavors. Each piece was a masterpiece -- from melt-in-your-mouth tuna to uni that tasted so fresh. My faves are Hamachi and Sweet Shrimp with Uni. This place is a must-try especially with their amazing Lunch Menu 10 course for $45 (60 mins seating) and Dinner menu 18 course for $89 (75 mins seating) which includes 13 Pieces of Sushi, 1 Hand Roll, 2 Appetizer, 1 Soup, 1 Dessert. You can bring your own alcohol or purchase there. read more

A great budget Omakase experience. Many pieces were great but plenty were just average but who am I to complain for an $85 price tag and with plentiful included house sake. We were seated about 10 mins after our reservations, they seem to run over as the next seating also was delayed. I enjoyed many pieces including the Waygu and toro + caviar. I wanted to know about the toppings of pieces but they only told you what the fish was, which was disappointing and I had to go out of my way to ask. Overall I think the price is excellent for the value. Plenty of great flavors! But not the best omakase in the city read more

This restaurant came highly recommended from my cousin. It is nestled on the quiet corner of 51st St and 10th Ave. We arrived a little bit early ahead of our 6:15pm reservation but the staff allowed us to sit at a small bar table and offered us the drink menu to start. Since it was so cold, we got a nice hot cup of tea to warm up. Although for $4, I wish we could have gotten a bigger cup. The omakase was an 18 course meal that included seafood miso soup and a dessert at the end. The fish was so fresh and at $85, the price cannot be beat! They also offer 50% off for a la carte pieces and unlimited sake for dine-in eaters. Reservations are required. I do highly recommended trying this new omakase place out! read more

Fantastic quality sushi with a creative twist on combinations (e.g. taco seasoning, caviar, etc.) Great value for 18 courses, especially with the unlimited sake, which was very good. The only thing I'll note is that the portion sizes were tangibly smaller than normal, but overall still a great deal and very happy read more

I took my niece here for her birthday dinner since she is a big omakase fan. We both thought the meal was wonderful. The dinner is currently 16 courses. Per the website, it is: 2 Appetizer, 10 Pcs Nigiri, 2 Chef Special Course, 1 Hand Roll, 1 Dessert. Candidly, we lost count. I remember thinking at the beginning of the meal, that we could always order more from the a la carte menu if we were still hungry. By the end of the meal, we forgot to ask even to see the a la carte menu for future reference. Everything was just delicious. I can be a picky eater. My niece will eat everything. The only thing I passed on (after a taste) was the eel. I've just never liked eel much. And at the beginning, I let the waitress know that I didn't eat mackerel, but apparently there was none scheduled to be served as part of the meal anyway. I remember the sushi courses included scallops, salmon, ikura, toro, sweet shrimp, pomfret, and I'm blanking on the others but it was all delicious. Most of the nigiri sushi had something else on top. In one case it was beluga caviar; in another it was uni. I also remember one with fois gras. The plated dishes included a fried oyster and a really tasty udon soup with crabmeat. There was also a wagyu nigiri. Dessert was two little wedges of key lime cheesecake, also yummy. We both had a Sapporo with the meal, and when I finished mine, I tried a yuzu soda, which I liked a lot. On our way to the restaurant we passed a favorite ice cream chain and my niece commented that we'd need to stop there for dessert. By the end of the meal, we agreed that ice cream would have to wait for another day. My niece is an aficionado of omakase and had been treated to some high-end ones by her father and grandfather. Despite the significantly lower price at Kun Tsuki, she decided that this was right up there in quality with the others. We've decided that this will be our new tradition for her birthday every year. read more

Recently opened and seems pretty good so far. Decent sushi, maybe not the best Omakase I've had but reasonably priced at $85 and right now, there's no corkage fee! I think they could also do a lot more since they stated in the local news that they would be different from other Omakase places since they have a full kitchen. Sadly, it doesn't seem like they are taking advantage of it just yet. Overall, I think it's worth visiting for a decent omakase. read more

I had my first omakase experience here with my family for lunch, and we had an amazing time. My Aunty tried it a few weeks ago, and then took me and her son as a treat. I had Uni, Unagi, and Ikura for the first time. They were all prepared amazingly, the Unagi was very tender and meaty. When my Aunt said she didn't want the Eel, the Chef happily replaced it with another type of fish. The chefs were so fun to watch and the environment was fantastic. They made sure we were able to handle to amount of wasabi, and explained every serving in detail. When we ordered extra hand rolls at the end of the regular meal, they hand them right to you, and they don't skimp on the portions at all. I will definitely be coming back again another time! read more

What a great Omakase experience! The sushi was amazing, the fish fresh, service exceptional and with the value of $85 you also get unlimited sake!
