Food: I've tried three different AYCE omakase places in NYC so far, and this is my favorite one so far both for its quality, variety, and taste. (They also offer non-AYCE omakase - 15 courses or 13 courses.) We were a group of four and thoroughly enjoyed our 23-course omakase before jumping into the AYCE rounds of ordering. The total meal is 90 minutes. The sushi chef asks which pieces you'd like to repeat and how many pieces each you'd like. AYCE pieces can be topped with uni and foie gras upon request. My favorite pieces were the toro caviar, scallop, wagyu uni, sweet shrimp uni, and spicy salmon cracker. There are certain appetizers and pieces that cannot be ordered for AYCE including the raw oyster, miso black cod, scallop (limited to one additional piece), and sweet shrimp. Overall, this is the best AYCE omakase I've tried and highly recommend you come here instead of Hatsu or Hayashi. Service: Service was phenomenal. Our water was constantly filled. Our sushi chef, Tony, was excellent and so friendly and engaging. We had a great time during our meal ordering from him and talking to him. Ambiance: The restaurant is not big. There is a sushi counter that seats about 12 people and then a few small tables on the side. The restaurant is nice and kept clean. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!
This AYCE endless omakase experience for 90 minutes includes a 25-piece omakase to start. At the end of the course, you can get repeats of pieces, excluding ebi and uni. When I went, the chef allowed us to do 1 refill of Hotate and you can get anything else as much as you want. You can also get uni on top of anything even though you can get a refill of an uni piece itself. For $118, you get a lot of nigiri and fish, so it's definitely worth it if you come hungry! The course moves very fast so you can get to the endless part at the end. For me, personally, 25 courses is way too much and feels like they are trying to fill you up so your stomach barely has room to do the endless AYCE part. I felt very rushed so I didn't enjoy the timing of this omakase, but I'm sure if you come hungry, you'll feel like you got your money's worth.
I had a great time dining at Takumi! We made same day reservations on Resy for their last time slot at 8:30 on a Thursday. You need to input your credit card information since they have a no show fee. They have the omakase bar option or tables (only two tables of two and one table of four). We booked specifically for their endless omakase, $118 + taxes and gratuities per person. They started us off with three appetizers - hamachi salad, miso cod, and oyster with yuzu cloud). The oyster was definitely my favourite. Then they served is the pieces of nigiri. The standouts were the botan ebi & uni, uni, wagyu & uni, toro & uni, king salmon with foie gras, and the sea bass. Unfortunately you can't reorder the uni, caviar, or botan ebi & uni but you can reorder items topped with uni and the foie gras. It's very similar to other unlimited omakase but they offer more options to order again than some of the other restaurants that I have visited. I found it nice that they gave us wet towels to wipe our fingers if we chose to eat with our hands. The staff were very kind and took the time to explain each dish, and answer any questions. Jah took care of us and he left us with a positive impression of the service and establishment.
The BEST AYCE Omakase in NYC Hands down First BYOB Second it's an almost 25 piece tasting The for the AYCE you can get most of the pieces again (as opposed to 3-4 types of fish done over rice). They will jazz up all the pieces and you can order as much as you want I love it so much I'm going back again
Best omakase in the city. Service is phenomenal and everyone is so attentive. Perfect for a little date night! We've tried their 15 course and unlimited omakase and both were amazing. Highly recommend the Dassai 23 sake - it pairs BEAUTIFULLY with all the dishes.
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.
Overall great experience, will definitely return. Food was delicious and the service was wonderful.
Just an update - came back for our anniversary and there's a slight update to their menu. They now have the "endless series" at $118pp After a course of like 24, you have the option of ordering more pieces from what was already served. I could only eat a few more after. This time, I really liked the king salmon with foie gras and of course the scallop with truffle sea salt and lime. We also ended our meal with the dessert (a matcha ice cream sandwich) it was great to cut through all the savory feel afterwards!
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
This was our second time dining at Takumi and the experience remains gastronomic. We opted in for the Endless Series (AYCE) omakase experience, which included uni with majority of the pieces. The host was incredibly attentive, ensuring that we felt welcome and comfortable throughout the entire dining experience. Chef Lee was highly skilled, artfully crafting each sushi piece with speed and precision, while genuinely humorous and engaging. His passion for sushi was evident in every piece he presented, and his generosity with the fresh and flavorful ingredients were greatly appreciated. If you are looking for an exceptional omakase experience without breaking the bank, Takumi is the place to go. Thank you, Chef Lee and the entire team, for another fantastic evening.
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!!
Amazing spot. Left so stuffed. Worth it. Went as fast as we did, so we finished well within the 90 minutes
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!

The food was great, particularly the oyster appetizer and handroll. That said, some of the sushi pieces felt a bit too rich for my taste, especially those featuring uni or foie gras. The atmosphere was also really nice--not too loud, so we could still have good conversations throughout the meal. I also appreciated how the sushi chefs rotated who they served pieces to first, which made the experience feel very fair and ensured that each party had an equal amount of time receiving their pieces. Overall, a really enjoyable omakase experience with great food, thoughtful service, and a comfortable atmosphere. 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

$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 saw people reviewing Takumi Omakase's unlimited omakase experience on TikTok and from their reviews, it made me look online to book it for my visit to NYC. We had a party of 6 and all we had to do was to just call to book it through resy. When we arrived, the staff were all friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself was clean and very modern/cute. We were seated at the bar top and we had such an amazing experience. Every bite was amazing and we all had such an amazing time. I would recommend anyone to come and try the endless omakase! 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. Sushi was prepared beautifully and super fresh. We made a reservation beforehand, which I always recommend to make sure you can be seated. Will be back! read more

Loved my experience at Takumi Omakase for my birthday. Definitely some high quality pieces with a lot of premium ingredients (uni, toro, wagyu, foie gras) which is also included in the AYCE portion. The experience includes the chef omakase selection of nigiris + 3 appetizers (yuzu foam oyster, miso black cod, and sashimi) before the AYCE portion For the price point of 118$ you're definitely getting your moneys worth with the AYCE at the end. However the AYCE at the end includes: * only 1 additional serving of the scallops * no additional uni gunkan (only uni sushi), uni can however be a topping on whatever you desire * no additional tuna + caviar piece * no additional appetizer dish But you truly can repeat the same pieces you've received in the beginning. I wish I would have spammed the wagyu + uni dish more. the toro + uni which was very fatty/decadent. We even made our own concoction - torched foie gras + toro. If you create a google review they also gave complimentary ice cream sandwiches read more

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

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

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
Food/drinks: Insane deal $89 15 courses & unlimited sake! And everything was delicious! Atmosphere: cute, got very loud! So it was hard to hear what dishes we were getting Service: good service! Price: $$ pretty good for omakase in the city 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

We had a table rsvp for 2 at Takumi last night. It was our first time having omakase. Everything is very fresh and well combined. Even though we sat at the table, the staff still thoroughly explained every pieces that we had! We came to celebrate my boyfriend birthday and he enjoyed the food a lot. Would definitely come back 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

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

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
