Came for a weekend lunch. The experience was great! The interior was so cute and clean. The service was attentive, almost too attentive since our waiter stood there basically the entire time. I only got a picture of one thing and then I got distracted by the food. Everything was fresh. The fish:rice ratio was perfect. Such a yummy experience! read more

Tatsuda Omakase - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

How is it that New York with it's much higher cost of living vs Houston is able to serve a $98 omakase featuring 16 courses where in Houston would cost close to twice as much? I want to assume they have to offer these prices to stay competitive in the New York dining scene. Also assuming all the high end sushi restaurants source their fish from the same few vendors so they are able to reduce costs based on volume alone? Anyways, my family of aunts, uncles, and cousins pretty much did a takeover of the entire countertop restaurant for the night, all 13 seats lol. The 2 chefs served up each course pretty fast, and I barely had time to savor each piece before the next one was on my plate. No fishiness from any of the fish at all. Everything tasted pretty near top quality. Favorites being a few of the nigiris that were seared because I absolutely love the faint char taste. Final amount per person after taxes and tips (and 2 bottles of sake) was $131. The price is still nothing to boast about, but when you compare it to Houston, it's definitely somewhat of a steal. #378 read more

We came by for a weeknight dinner at Tatsuda. The ambiance is very good - interior isn't too cramped and they have a dedicated waiting area for the next set of seatings. They have three seatings every night, and during the service there are three chefs for only 15ish people. There was a free round of sake near the end of the service. The fish was so fresh and soft, most of the slices were melt in your mouth. The omakase is more traditional and is more nigiri focused, doing a great job of showcasing the fish. The selection was quality but more conventional. Overall a really good option if you want an omakase experience that won't disappoint but won't blow you away either. read more

The omakase dinner here is amazing. The fish is so fresh and the courses left me satisfied, which cannot be said about all omakase dinners. I loved the salmon bite with foie gras and Wagyu. The quality was just so good! read more

Tatsuda Omakase - Salmon with foie gras!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I recently celebrated my birthday at Tatsuda Restaurant and it turned into an unforgettable evening. Chef Sean's talent was on full display as he carefully crafted each roll, combining the freshest fish in a way that made every piece feel unique and tasted absolutely out of this world. Beyond the incredible food, the warm hospitality truly made the night special. To my surprise, the staff brought out a delicious chocolate cake on the house and even sang a birthday song, which made my celebration feel extra meaningful. It's rare to find a place where I was treated not just as a customer, but as a special guest . Tatsuda continues to be my favorite restaurant and I always look forward to coming back.Thanks ! read more

Cuisine: 8 Service: 8 Decor: 8 Value: 8 Overall: 8 With all the sushi omakase options out there, I am grateful that some of them didn't follow the formula of using crazy amounts of fancy toppings and overpowering sauces. Even more surprising that it's located right near Time Square. Opened toward the latter part of 2023, I have been here a handful of times. Their 16 course omakase is now $90 for 75 minutes. The short timeframe is probably one of my least favorite part of all the omakase restaurants opening up over the last decade. Thankfully, at least they put out a decent product with a reasonable price. The meal starts off with three prepared courses. On my last visit, they served Snow Crab Salad, Monk Fish Liver, and Grilled Black Cod. I thoroughly enjoyed all the starters. Then it continues with 13 pieces of nigiri, which I will get into details below, and finishing off with a piece of creamy cheesecake-like version of tamago. Overall, a very good meal. As for the nigiri, I thought the rice was decent, but sadly nothing special. However, the freshness and cut of the seafood was up average for the price range. Considering it as one product, I would say that it's satisfying enough for me to revisit. The host and chefs are all quite nice. I had good conversations with them both. Going forward when I am in the neighborhood for Broadway shows, I'll consider coming here for a quick dinner. read more

The fish was very fresh. I liked all the sushi I got. I don't know if I would say this was a great deal for the price point. It wasn't the worst, but also not amazing. The sushi chef didn't really make yours in front of you. The catered to everyone at the bar at the same time, so you can't really watch them make your order each time. It was also very loud because there was another large birthday party, so this was probably not the best experience for everybody else. read more

I went to Tatsuda for the omakase dinner. Ambience is a little more casual than what you'd expect from an omakase restaurant. The ingredients were remarkably fresh and delicious (I recommend trying the Uni - sweet, briny, and rich). Chef Andy was knowledgeable of his craft and friendly. I was quite pleased with the sake selection and the host's deep knowledge of sake. At $90/pp (as of 4/21/26), this certainly is a great value. But don't let the price fool you! Tatsuda does not compromise on quality. read more

Great omakase place that's decently priced with pretty good quality fish/portion sizes! Service was fast and friendly and ambiance was pretty casual-- good to come for a casual date night or if you're just craving some sushi. We both got the 16 piece dinner omakase set and ordered a bottle of sake on the side. Overall, most of the nigiri pieces were good (ofc not the level of the $200, $300+ omakase placed in NYC but also better than your average joe omakase place). The sake we got (35 year old one) was very smooth and good too! The pieces I liked the most are: 1. All the tuna pieces (bluefin tuna, fatty tuna): 10/10 (I'm biased because I love fatty fish) 2. Uni: 10/10 (also biased because I love uni! But I love how they give you uni TWICE??) 3. Yellowtail: 10/10 (once again... biased because I loooove yellowtail) 4. Wagyu/beef: 10/10 (super tender and flavorful) 5. Ankimo: 9/10 (good but a little lacking in flavor when compared to the ankimo I had in Korea) The pieces I wash meh about: - Appetizer/toast with uni and caviar: 7.5/10 (love how they start you off with uni AND caviar but... why is on bread!!! I feel like that was a bit unnecessary... it would've been 10/10 if it was ok regular sushi rice) - One of the white fishes: 2/10 (I don't remember which fish it was other than it was one of the white fishes in the middle of the course. It was extremelyyyy fishy!!!!) read more

I came here for a birthday dinner and we had a great time. Located in Hell's Kitchen, this omakase spot is $90pp and 16-courses. Service here is steady and doesn't feel rushed, but they definitely do stick to their 75 minutes. We got a variety of your expected sashimi, such as their amberjack, red snapper, salmon, and scallop. Everything was fresh and delicious. I loved their monkfish liver more than I expected (I normally don't like it). And, they ended their course with a cheesecake that was delightful. As we went for a birthday dinner, they also brought out cake and sang, which was super fun. Truly enjoyed my time here and my friends said they would come back! read more

Had a fantastic omakase here - it is 75 mins so they do keep you to your time. The pieces weren't super crafted but were tasty and a reasonable price for the amount of pieces. The only marks off would be for the sake I was recommended (dassai 23 I think) which had the cloying sweet taste I dislike as well as the matcha cheesecake which is not rich nor custard and almost dry. I did try the tatsuda special for an upcharge and wow, while I was plenty full, this was an amazing piece all blended well together. read more

Highly overpriced for the experience received Upon arrival the table seated were for 6 people and it was very crammed. Every time the door was open you would get the cold rainy draft. It is very rushed and the chef barely spoke at all. There was excessive upsell and to be honest the Uni and hokkado salmon and wagyu add on were not good at all. The dessert served with the 16 course dinner was awful, match cheese cake it was powdery and stale! They do make good cocktails and their eel, mackerel, and king salmon sashimi was great! The sturgeon caviar was very mild. Their pickled wasabi was a treat for your tastebuds. At $400 for 2 people. Sadly i was disappointed! They did give a complimentary shot of sake which was good quality. No frills , clean but crammed. read more

Good value for a 16 course Omakase in this area. The chefs are flexible for accommodating your needs, especially if you're in a rush to catch a show. Eric was a great host and Chef Andy was a Greta sushi chef. We got to dine in the small room which seemed to offer a much more intimate experience. It's also the perfect space for hosting a small group. read more

Tatsuda Omakase was honestly one of the most fun and memorable dining experiences I've ever had. I came here to celebrate my graduation dinner, and everything from start to finish was on point. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, especially Dave, who really stood out--he made sure every guest stayed "hydrated" and comfortable, which added such a personal touch to the night. We were super late but still made it accommodating to catch us up. We went with the 18-piece omakase and did the two-sake pairing, which I highly recommend. Every piece was carefully prepared and super fresh. My top favorites were the shrimp, fatty tuna, and salmon--unreal flavor and texture. The vibe was quiet, intimate, and the ambiance felt calm and elevated--exactly what you'd want for a special night out. If you're looking to treat yourself or celebrate something big, this place is definitely worth it. read more

This is a decent omakase serving fresh cuts of fish: 13 pieces for $90. The service was super kind and the chef gave pretty good service. He asked us if we were enjoying the meal and if there were any pieces we didn't like. I knocked off a star because there were minor (yet fixable) things that I was not a fan of. The fish should be more room temperature but it was a bit too warm as it was precut. Usually, I give grace for pre cut fish but these seemed to stay out a bit too long. Fish quality was decent, nothing outstanding but nothing was fishy. For the price at $90, I feel that there are similar quality sushi omakase in NYC that are cheaper around the $65-$80 range. This one did not seem to be any different than the "more affordable" options. Nonetheless, glad I tried it. read more

I was leaving the met around 4:30 and wanted to find a sushi place before a 7pm show. This place had a 5 o'clock reservation open, but I called and told them I couldn't get there until 530. They said that was fine and they'd reserve a spot for me at the sushi bar. Upon arrival they were so attentive and helpful.

Tatsuda Omakase - Special add on wagyu, scallop, toro and caviar- a perfect bite! - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I loved my experience here. Not only was the omakase excellent but the staff also overheard me telling a friend that I had gluten and dairy intolerance AND that I really loved ebi so the chef secretly made me an extra course because I wouldn't be able to have the dessert like everyone else. And he was kind enough to remake one of my courses when I didn't eat it fast enough and it fell apart from getting soggy Also, the courses were delicious. Every bite felt unique and a couple were surprising in the best way. My favorite was the salmon (?) with foie gras read more

Times Square is one of those areas I tell people doesn't have great food options, but this is a solid choice for a quality omakase meal in the area. They serve up a $90 14-course for 75 minutes and it has appetizers, fresh nigiri, and a complimentary dessert that in a way makes it a 15-course. Highlights of the nigiri for me were the fatty tuna, salmon, sea scallop, sea bream, and sea urchin. The fish was high-quality and the pieces were minimalistic but tasted amazing. We also tried two of their mocktails and one of their sake options. The sake was slightly sweet and the mocktails were so gorgeous with a fizzy yuzu taste. You have to try this omakase spot for a lovely experience! read more

Some of the most incredible fish I've had. Truly wonderful experience. Only slight downsides are the strange early 2010s music choice haha.

Tatsuda Omakase is an absolutely elite omakase experience nestled in Midtown. The chef was exceptional and the service blew me away! The beautiful counter service and artistry from their chefs makes for a perfect date night atmosphere. It was hard to narrow down my favorite pieces, but I have to shout out the wagyu, the king salmon and the sea bream as topping my charts. The incredible sushi was complimented by a great sake list, cocktail selection, and a delicious yuzu cheese cake! This spot is unbelievable - you have to check it out!! read more

One of the better sub $100 traditional omakase restaurants in the city that focused on quality instead of quantity. The fish was fresh and fish to rice ratio was on point. The chefs prep the pieces well but I wish they interacted more with their customers. Will definitely be back. read more

Went there for a dinner with friends. Sat at the corner so we could chat. Place was beautifully set up and staff were super attentive and on top of the service. Master chefs were amazing showing their mastery as they took us through the Omakase dinner We chose the dinner which was 18 pieces. We started with some chopped tuna on a bed of fried rice. Picture tell the story from there but each piece was better than the next. Atmosphere was modern but yet felt like Tokyo small. I highly recommend this place read more

It's unusual to find a REALLY great place to grab dinner that doesn't feel intensely touristy around here, but Tatsuda is exactly the oasis of calm, quiet, attentive service with phenomenal (and quite reasonably priced!) omakase. Each piece was prepared and presented with care, as you'd expect, with a server frequently checking in to see how we were doing with our drinks. Sadly my draft of this review didn't save so I don't recall each piece but I can say I remember the whole experience fondly, and there wasn't a single piece I wouldn't have been thrilled to eat twice. Random additional note: I especially loved that they had Suntory beer, which interestingly has its own special tap similar to a Czech luker, which makes the foam creamy and fine like a latte. This is a fun step above the usual bottle of Sapporo you'd get and shouldn't be missed! The sake selection as also wonderful, and I was overall quite happy with the value -- omakase is always going to cost a chunk of change but you get really top quality for what you pay which I appreciated! read more

This may be my top omakase spot now. I met up with a friend here for their 14 course dinner meal, which lasted 75 minutes and at a reasonable $90. It's worth the cost given the quality. The pieces are fresh and garnished just enough to complement the fish while not overpowering the taste of the fish. The lean pieces taste great with the added garnish while the fatty pieces melts in your mouth so amazingly. They also have drinks which were also tasty. I ordered the Hibiscus Spritz (non-alcoholic) which tasted lovely. Besides the food and drinks, I love the wooden interior as it creates a relaxing atmosphere. The chef and servers are super friendly. Did not feel rushed one bit. read more

Always down for omakase in the city! For those who are not familiar with sushi, omakase is the tasting menu. You cannot pick and choose your courses as it is based on the chef and menu for that particular restaurant. There's usually a variety of fish, seafood, and other proteins included, and it's always exciting to see what's next! Food: we went for the 14 course omakase. I was very full after this omakase, which was great since that's the complaint I hear most often that there isn't enough food. My favorites were def the A5 wagyu, toro, and uni! Ordered cocktails to go with it, and they were delicious and refreshing. Service/ Ambiance: This place only has sushi bar seats, so you're right up there with the sushi chefs watching them prepare each bite! The restaurant is sleek but cozy at the same time. The service was fast, and the courses were nicely paced. Overall: Would def come back for more omakase! read more

My friend very recently made plans to bring me omakase here and we had a very pleasant experience. There are so so many omakase places in NYC and I have been out of the loop. I was told to save the date for one day after work as my friend wanted to try an omakase place she found online. I trust her judgement and I had not heard of Tatsuda before. But I always keep and open mind when visiting new spots. This establishment is situated near Times Square and Hells Kitchen so if driving leave plenty of time for traffic and searching for parking. Located on the second floor of the building (stairs only). The interior is quite nicely decorated with bottles of sake adorning the wall and a very cozy waiting area. Out reservation was for 8:45p and we arrived a little bit after. Dave was there to greet my friend who arrived first. The previous reservations were finishing up and staying after to chat a bit. We got seated closer to 9p which was fine. There were a total of 5 people in our time slot and two sushi chefs behind the counter. Our Chef Sin did an excellent job of preparing everything and explaining each piece. We opted for the 16 piece omakase experience at $90 pp (drinks and a la carte menu added cost. Prices current as of the writing of this review. Check for any updated menu prices before making your reservation in Resy). - Sea scallop w seaweed - Shima Ají - Madai - Yellowtail w chive - Sable fish - Mackeral - Flounder - King Salmon w focus gras - Sea Bream w Yuzu Pepper Sauce - Ikura - Bluefin tuna - Otoro w caviar - Hokkaido Uni - A5 Wagyu w truffle sauce - Torched Eel Dessert - Matcha cheesecake We had an opportunity to order from the a la carte menu and decided on - Tatsuda special x 2 A5 Wagyu. Sea Scallop. O-toro. Hokkaido Sea Urchin It was made into a a hand roll at the end. For the drinks we decided on 2 cocktails. Connie was kind enough ti explain the drinks -D'Rising Sun (Iichiko. Peach. Passionfruit. Hibiscus. Mayberry garnish on top. - Shikoku Paloma (Iichiko. Peach. Yuzu sodas. Baby watermelon as garnish. We were offered some complimentary sake during the meal by Dave which was a nice surprise. Overall a great experience from the moment I walked in. read more

In town for the weekend and to take in some of the USOpen. Found this little gem on Yelp. Great Value. 13 or 14 courses of the freshest quality sushi I've ever had. Some had some nice additions from the chef that were a layer of great flavors. Service was great and over all excellent meal. Price was also right compared to some of the others I found which were much more expensive. Highly recommend. read more

From the moment you walk in the door, you are greeted and checked in. Someone is there to take your coat as well and it really helps that you don't have to shove it under your feet or struggle or find a place for it. From the first course to the last, everything was an absolute delight. The pacing was just right and we were full afterwards. We were also celebrating a birthday and they kindly provided us with a cake, candle and complimentary sake shot which I loved (I usually don't even like sake). My only regret was not asking what bottle it was. The staff was wonderful and snd tentative, refilling my water, taking away plates. Would highly recommend making reservations. It looked like they only seat maybe 10 at a time. Would definitely come back here again. read more

Exceptional, exceptional service. We had an early dinner tonight (5pm) and we were only with one other diner. The chef was so nice, explaining all the pieces, asking us if we would want to adjust the rice and wasabi level to our preferences, etc. Host was also great, offering us complementary sake shots. We got the yuzu and white peach sake to start. Both were delicious. highly highly recommend checking out these two sakes. Yuzu was slightly more sweet (with the limoncello profile) and white peach was more refreshing and had a noticeable peach taste. In terms of the omakase itself, it was very filling! The quality of fish were very solid; not the best I had, but very solid and premium nonetheless. My favorite pieces were the yellowtail, sablefish, wagyu, and eel. Appetizers were light and refreshing. Only addition I would add to this omakase is a handroll! We opted for an extra piece - kinki - which we never tried before. It has a similar look and feel as snapper, but was actually a bit more bland so not my favorite piece. The omakase ended with a matcha cheesecake (course 15!) which was definitely more dense and heavy, but very nice they gave a piece of dessert to finish off the meal! read more

I went to there few days ago with a fd, the food is amazing! I even ordered their big Mac sushi at the end, just love their food. The next customer also ordered their Big Mac sushi after saw mine, because it was so yummy! They also have cheesecake to finish the your meal, they have a slice birthday cake for ppl who is birthday. Tried the non-alcohol yuzu drink ( golden yuzu) taste pretty good, and end up also Having yuzu sake, it was sweet and couldn't able to taste any alcohol and sake taste! Good for girl to try. The servers and the chef were very nice, explained the food very detail. The manager (Eric) very talkful and nice to the customer! Highly recommended to go this omakase place!

What an amazing experience. Tatsuda Omakase is a restaurant that sits 12 people at a time to go through a 14 course $90 meal. They do not stray away from authenticity to keep it classic without trying too much innovation, and it delivers. If you're looking for new ideas and trying new forms, I would recommend Mari or Sushiichi, but if you know what you want, which is good sushi for a solid price point, Tatsuda is up there for me. Taste: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Value for money: 5/5 We had: 1. Crab with ginger - this was okay, almost felt like a mini palate cleanser alongside the ginger to start 2. Ikura don - a bit salty but a cute take on fish roe on top of rice! 3. Japanese sea bream - madai - great and fresh! 4. Hamachi - yellowtail - a nice bite to this one 5. Silverfish - I'm a sucker to torched sushi, this was good 6. Spanish mackerels - also great 7. King Salmon - this salmon was rich and mouthwatering, I'm still thinking about where they got this, my partner got a second one at the end 8. Hokkaido scallop - super fresh, you can taste the ocean 9. Sea urchin - we've eaten a ton of Uni and this was by far on the way fresher side, good stuff! 10. Akami blue fin lean tuna - and the tuna begins 11. Chutoro - this was great! 12. Otoro torched with caviar - also mouth watering, the otoro melted 13. A5 wagyu torched and truffle - the marbling was amazing on this, tasted super good 14. Eel - not your typical eel dish, there was something light and elegant about this approach! I'm glad they didn't end on a rich flavoured note We also tried the Big Mac as an add-on, this was good, but overall I would stick to the main courses! (Unless you're hungry for more!) I seldom give full marks, but this place deserved it. Perhaps because it was New Years Eve and we were the last meal of the night, but service was on point and there were a couple of complimentary items like dessert that was provided too. read more

This is a nice little sushi bar in hell's kitchen. I thought the price was fair for the quality of fish you're getting. I particularly loved the nigiris that had some sort of sea urchin on it. Service was quick and friendly. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because I had some difficulty understanding the names of certain fish/pieces due to the chef's pronunciation. This is in no way to shame him or humiliate him but I would have loved knowing exactly what I'm putting in my mouth. I did ask the chef to repeat what he said first and second time but I knew it would be extremely rude if I keep asking. It would be great if they provided an omakase guide with each piece listed out to help identify each dish more clearly. Overall we had a nice dinner! read more

Simply wonderful from start to finish, especially if you like 90's pop music. Tatsuda is almost exactly a year old but seems to fly under the radar for omakase experiences. Our party of 3 was able to get a same week reservation for a Friday evening, and another walk in party of 2 got seated during our time slot. There's a small sitting area in the front for those waiting for their reservation times with comfy couches and a nice view of the street for people-watching. The 14-course experience is beautifully crafted, with friendly but not overbearing service, in a classy but cozy setting. Even the restroom is cast in soft earthy lighting with an elegantly crafted sink. All this clashes in the best possible way for millenials, now with disposable income, and want to indulge in high quality seafood while Britney (b****) croons in their ears. Each sushi chef serves about 2 parties at a time, placing perfectly portioned slices of fish with the smallest dab of wasabi over rice on your plates. The uni and shrimp were sweetly briny, scallops melted in my mouth, and I'm still dreaming of the buttery foie gras on unagi. Meanwhile, my friend's dream involves their A5 wagyu with shaved black truffle. The pacing was great and we still had time to chat with our neighbors while washing down bites with a complimentary cup of sake. The finishing touch was the perfectly airy yuzu cheesecake slice. A gem that I hope stays hidden until my next return! read more
