Don't let the understated setting fool you, Takumi Omakase delivers one of the most memorable dining experiences in the city. The space is simple and unassuming, but that's entirely by design. Here, the food is the star, and it more than earns the spotlight. The all-you-can-eat 90-minute omakase format sounds almost too good to be true, and yet every single bite lived up to the promise. Each piece was a feast for both the eyes and the palate -- beautifully composed, thoughtfully sourced, and executed with real precision. Just when you thought a selection couldn't be topped, the next one arrived and proved you wrong. What truly set the experience apart was the staff. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely engaged, asking about our preferences, walking us through unfamiliar selections, and making sure we felt guided rather than rushed. We left feeling genuinely taken care of, not just fed. The value is exceptional. For the quality, the variety, and the overall experience, the price point is more than justified. Takumi is absolutely worth it, and I'll be back. If you're planning a date night or an intimate celebration and want something that feels special without being stuffy, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Honestly the best omakase I've had! $118 for this quality and quantity is just insane- I left there being absolutely stuffed! Obviously, my faves were the o toro and the wagyu pieces, they were so tender and rich! Will definitely be back once I am back in NYC :) read more

Food (5/5): Probably one of my favorite omakase spots especially with the AYCE offer it's amazing. I enjoy that unlike the other Omakase spots you get repeat the pieces from the Omakase. The best part is the quality is similar to the regular Omakase part. Other ayce spots, the AYCE part is lower quality or they significantly limit you to just the cheaper cuts. The entire Omakase was awesome with my favorites being the oyster, trout salmon, Toro tuna with foie gras, and scallop. Service (5/5): Our chef Lee was very communicative and friendly. He chatted with us for every piece and was super nice and helpful. Really enjoyed his company for the experience. Ambiance (4/5): Nice traditional sushi restaurant ambiance with about 12 person seating. read more

They have multiple options to choose from - a 13 course, a 15 course ABs an AYCE (this has seating times that change by which day so check before reserving) They are a small place but super organized. They keep filling up your ginger. Great selection of sakes and wines as well. If you ask they will explain the different drinks and what it pairs with Every course was excellent - the toro, wagyu, miso cod stood out for me though. These were highlights of my meal. Very indulgent and well done. Even the eel which many places fall short at. Nice minimal pairings that go really well together I'll be back for the AYCE option because everything looked and tasted really nice and it seems like a great value for money The bar seating looked pretty sweet for date night They have complimentary dessert at the end which is not too sweet and perfect to finish your meal with read more

Came here in December for the $89 omakase and it was a great experience. I cannot imagine finding another 15 course omakase for the same price. Many of their fresh ingredients are imported from Japan which was surprising for their price, freshness, and quality. My favorite bites were the following: Seared Wagyu Fois gras Oyster Writing this review several months later and I still remember those bites. The interior is dim and intimate - my favorite. Staff are polite and you can order more rounds the end. Very likely to come back here next time I'm in town, especially now that I'm seeing AYCE omakase!! read more

I found my new favorite spot in the Lower East Side. I've rated over 2200 places on @beli and gave this a 10.0. Takumi Omakase does an Endless Omakase deal that is dangerous in the best way possible. It delivers incredibly fresh fish, top-tier service, and a non-stop lineup of amazing courses. Come hungry, because they will literally keep the high-quality creative nigiri coming until you say stop. read more

Came here for late dinner at 8:15pm to 9:45pm for endless omakase 90 min. The chef made as much as he could for 90 min. He made 33 courses in that time and here are the combinations below: Amber jack Kumura oyster with ponzu sauce and yuzu foam Akami blue fin tuna with shitake mushroom Miso grilled cod Red snapper Torched king salmon Yellowtail with Pickled jalepeno Fatty tuna (otoro) with caviar & chives Hokkaido Scallop with truffle salt Sawara Spanish mackerel Trout crispy onion and yuzu sauce A5 Wagyu torched Hokkaido Uni Handroll Eel with foie gras kuromutsu Miso paste Salmon roe ikura Sea bass yuzu pepper salt Akami peppered radish Fatty tuna with pickled wasabi Wagyu with uni Salmon with yuzu miso sauce Ebi with uni Spicy yellowtail with wasabi cream Spanish mackerel with grated ginger Steel headed trout Amber jack with pickledJalepeno Otoro with foie gras Branzino with pesto paste Otoro and uni torched Akami with torched Shitake mushroom Steel headed trout with miso A5 Wagyu and uni Ice cream Overall this was such an amazing experience with high quality ingredients from Japan. I feel like chef has a lot of skills when making each course. My only gripe was the wasabi he put was too much. Usually it isn't an issue for us in omakase but here it hit our nose. About half way through we asked for no wasabi and so happy we did and we were able to enjoy the experience much more. The passion chef has is so clear. I hope this restaurant can go far because he really does deserve the business for the work he puts into it. Omakase tasted like most other omakases around the city (when ordered without the wasabe). Very very fresh ingredients. Highly recommend for people curious about omakase and hope to get a good value. The bill ended up being about $150/person after tip and tax but so worth the 33 courses (not including ice cream #34) Would love to come back here again with friends! read more

$118pp AYCE omakase what i liked most about it was its AYCE as u go (vs other ayce u order set amt @ the end), so after like 20 courses u can tell the chef the pairings u liked best and they'll make anything for u. i was out here mixing wagyu with uni with caviar with sweet shrimp the whole shabang. the pairings are also unique (some like miso cod, truffle cracker sashimi, etc). ended up eating 35 courses at the end one of my new fave places in nyc! Favorite Dishes: Toro with caviar, Salmon with yuzu onion crunch, Truffle cracker yellowtail, Miso cod read more

I came here to try their endless omakase, and overall, I had a great experience. The quality of the sushi was excellent. For my personal taste, some of the dishes and soy sauce were a bit on the salty side, so I found myself drinking a lot of water throughout the meal. One tip for future guests: take photos of the sushi pieces you really enjoy so you can easily remember which ones to reorder. The dining experience is timed, and you have about 10 minutes to place additional orders and finish your meal before they prepare for the next seating. They do allow breaks or pauses, but keep in mind that any pause time is included in your allotted dining time. read more

A lovely experience! Came here for date night with my partner, and it was a wonderful time. Our chef was a great entertainer, and the host even gave us a sake on the house.

One of the best omakase experiences! It's a small venue but the staff is so kind and the fish was delicious!! They offer two types of omakase, an $89 option with 15 courses or $69 with 13 courses. It is also byob although they sell sake and wine. Throughout the month of July, they are giving unlimited sake for free but you have to make sure to mention it. Definitely recommend! read more

Takumi offers two kinds of seating--you can grab a table (where they serve four pieces at a time instead of individually) if you aren't able to reserve a spot at the chef's counter, where all the magic and fire happen. I saw several parties bring their own bottles, and the staff gladly chilled, opened, and served them. When I went, the crowd was mostly couples. To start, they serve three appetizers to tease your taste buds. Each dish was visually stunning and equally delicious--some presented in oyster shells, others laid over kelp. All the nigiri pieces were fresh. Some of my favorites included the unagi and torched foie gras hand roll, the fresh and creamy uni, the red seabream with its amazing texture, and of course, the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu. The most interesting piece I haven't had at other omakase spots was the ark shell (red clam). Its texture wasn't as chewy or tough as most clams--it was deliciously sweet and wonderfully toothy. read more

We had a great time here. It was my wife's favorite omakase so far. You get unlimited cold sake, but only if you ask - not sure how long they are doing this promo for. It was junmei sake and tasted almost like clarified 막걸리 since it was so rice-forward. I liked it alot. For $89, it's a great deal and my wife wants to come back next year. One small note is that it was for my wife's birthday, but there was nothing special like the other reviews mentioned in case that's important to you. read more

Walking up to the place, this nice couple from Long Island told me that they cross a river at least once a month to visit Takumi. While we were waiting for our 8:45pm seating to begin, they assured me that the congestion pricing surcharge they paid would be well worth it. I'd have paid 10 congestion pricing surcharges for the meal we had at Takumi Omakase. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. Lavish, but not obnoxious. Pricey but not outrageous. Incredibly fresh fish. Expert inventive preparation. A lovely but not pretentious dining room. Flawless service... I don't get all my sushi advice from random people from Long Island, but when I do I'm glad they were right about Takumi Omakase. read more

probably the best AYCE omakase in nyc. instead of letting you choose from only 3 types of fish for AYCE, they just keep giving you new pieces until you say stop. the pieces were all different combinations & pretty unique. it also felt like they kept adding more rice as the pieces went by. i did 28 pieces. i was abt to explode ngl. i still had room for black sesame icecream sandwich tho for $118 it's a crazy deal. the service is fast & ambiance was cozy & intimate read more

So many good things to say! I love that they are BYOB, it definitely adds to the experience. The quality of sushi is also superb for price point. Service was quick and I loved the innovative flavors they introduced with each fish. There's bar seating and also table seating options. Not too loud but definitely not a quiet setting either. Great value for money read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. Every single piece was mind-blowing. The chef was also so sweet, and we got to talk to him a bit about his career as a chef. The counter seating is super cozy and cute, and I love how intimate the place feels. I came here for my birthday dinner, and the staff presented me with a handwritten card and a small bottle of sake. The handwritten card was so incredibly sweet, and it started my experience off on a great note. We didn't realize the place was BYOB (we will definitely be bringing a beverage next time), so we got a bottle of their yuzu sake. Absolutely delicious. So refreshing! Like I said, every single piece was amazing. There were three appetizers, 11 nigiri pieces, and one handroll (total of 15 courses). At $89, this place is a great deal. The appetizers were all so delicious, and I was super surprised that one of them came with two very sizable slices of fish. Generous, indeed! And onto the nigiri. At other omakase places, I've felt that in general, everything was good and there were a few standout pieces. I'm not kidding when I say that every single piece was astounding. The fish was so fresh, it just melted in your mouth. The flavor pairings were immaculate. The tuna/caviar piece felt like liquid gold in my mouth. I usually hate scallop at omakase, but their scallop nigiri changed me for the better. I cannot say better things about this meal. It was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday and I am counting down the days until I'll be back. read more

Takumi is a casual no frill omakase experience, however this does not take away from how delicious each piece of the 15 course set is! Each piece is so fresh and flavorful, I cannot rave about this place enough! Service is very accommodating and attentive! Definitely in my top 3 favorite omakase spots. read more

Went to this location for their endless omakase and wanted to say that this is what an omakase "buffet" should be. All the other locations who call themselves "ayce omakase" but limit you to a few select pieces that are essentially basic nigiri are put to shame by this location. I managed to take down about 30 pieces, no including some light starters, and only a few pieces were repeats and that was just because I requested them. The pieces were well prepared and service was quick. It was a great time and would definitely return for another attempt at a PR. read more

This place is the real deal. 8:15pm all you can eat omakase. The chefs are chill and friendly. They are also great at getting you your next round of food quickly. The sushi was creative, meaty, and luxurious. They delivered all high quality expensive ingredients- toro wagyu uni caviar even foie gras and did not put too much rice or fillers. 90 minutes of time, and I ate around 35 pieces. Will 100% be coming back with friends and family. read more

This place was excellent for an omakase dinner. I recommended coming early to get a seat at the bar. I didn't know this so we can right on time for our reservation and we're not able to sit at the bar. I love how they have appetizers to ease you into the courses. The oyster was amazing and soooo flavorful. The second appitizer was sashimi and was the freshest cut of delicious dish. Next was the warm cod that melted in your mouth. Then came the sushi pieces. All so delicious and flavorful. Everything was so fresh and presented beautifully. The restaurant is dimly lit and romantic. The staff was very friendly and fun. Even though we didn't sit by the bar I could see some of what the chefs were doing from afar. Great experience I would come again to get a bar seat! read more

Came here for endless omakase and had to tap out early. They do not skimp at all on the premium ingredients (such as uni, toro, Wagyu, etc).

We booked Takumi on Resy for a weekday and we did their 8:45 seating which was apparently their last for the evening. They accommodated my shellfish allergy which was great! Our sushi chef was great at giving us enough info about each item we were getting. Some favorites were the otoro, the oyster appetizer and the unagi hand roll at the end. I think about the unagi fondly to this day. It's a small place with maybe 14ish bar seats and a few tables. Not sure if they seat you if you dont make a reservation, but they do have a time limit for seating so they can clear out for upcoming groups. The best part? This place is was $89 a person, which is completely unheard of for an omakase place in NYC. Cheap didnt mean bad or anything, it was fantastic, felt like great value and I will absolutely come back here again. read more

Food: 6/10 Was influenced by tiktok sadly...don't believe everything you see online. I would say the oyster starter was my favorite dish. Each piece had me feeling like something was missing. I went to an omakase the day after and realized that the quality of the fish here is not the same as what I have had at previous places. Felt hungry after and did need a second meal after this one. I would say that the meal here was pretty average, nothing special and not something to come back for especially at a price point close to $100 a person. FYI It's BYOB. Service: 9/10 nice waiters and staff Ambiance: Cute omakase area with a few tables in the back. One bathroom to use for customers. read more

Excellent omakase experience in LES, especially considering the price. Reservations are made at set times so that the whole bar is seated and begins together. There are tables for people who don't have reservations, but seating there isn't in good view of the chefs preparing the meal. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed watching the chefs as they put together our sushi. The 15 course omakase includes 3 appetizers, 11 pieces of nigiri, and 1 hand roll at the end. After the omakase concludes you have the opportunity to buy extra pieces. Standouts were the oyster with yuzu foam, the miso branzino, and the amberjack (appetizers), the fatty tuna with caviar (we ordered seconds of that), the seared king salmon, the uni, the scallop, and the hand roll. At this point I've named like half the menu. But it really was a great experience with delicious, fresh fish. I recommend the Dasai 39 if you're in the mood for sake. They also allow BYOB if you have a bottle you'd prefer to bring. Great choice for date night or enjoying a unique dining option with a friend. read more
