Omg it was absolutely the best!!! The place has nice seating area where you get to see the chef making each piece of sushi. I had low expectations to begin with but it exceeded my expectations!! Went to celebrate for early bday celebration and it hit the surprises. The chef had experience of 13 years. I would definitely visit here again. It was so good!!!Every piece was so fresh and delicious! :) read more

Must try in UWS! Customer service is phenomenal. They just opened in December 2024 and they have their operations down. Cute place + great value. Our sushi chef was Andy and he was very nice. Explained our every bite and just overall lovely. Our servers (Vicky and one other girl with glasses) were also very attentive. Refilled our waters right away and kept giving us free refill on our tea. (Another must try - delish) Favorites: Uni, Zuke Akami,Chu toro, toro, and unagi, We got so lucky with timing since they had a promotion for a free nigiri: wagyu with scallop. Highly recommend! read more

My third time at Tsumo UWS. This time took my foodie friends. They were totally impressed. The food selection was fabulous. Our Sushi chef Ling was friendly, informative and skilled. As always the room was friendly and comfortable. Will have to go for lunch sometime. read more

This is an unreal tasting menu for such a great price. A group of three of us visited the sushi spot for a friend's birthday, and we had an amazing meal and awesome service. The sushi chef was friendly and so fast--we hardly had to wait at all for each piece to come out (but we also didn't feel rushed, despite there being a seating after us). We each ordered the tasting menu with a bottle of sake. I added on the wagyu piece--even though I was really full--and it was one of my favorites. They also gave the birthday girl an extra hand roll, with a candle in it, for her birthday. Highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately, I got food poisoning after eating here last night. Within hours, I experienced severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lightheadedness, and a bad headache. I had to leave work early because of how sick I felt. I reached out to the restaurant to let them know, and the response was disappointing. I was told that since the chef and no one else had complained, there wasn't much they could do. I went on 2/4/26 at 5pm in hopes if anyone else felt this way- thanks. read more

A very nice place, delicious food, prices on par with this type of cuisine, excellent service. Maker sure to have a reservation. Seating bar only, good for a two person outing. read more

Very rarely do I give a 5 stars but after coming here, I felt compelled to do so. I've done some research before deciding on this place. Having never been to an omakase place, it was important to read other people's reviews and also factor in the price value. Honestly, 13 course for $58 is an absolute treat. Walking into the restaurant, there are two separate dining rooms which make sense as they space out the seating times. After sitting down, we were told of what the menu entails which is nice to see. The chef asks if we have any allergy and we did mentioned our son can only take a tad of wasabi so he remembered throughout the meal to apply just a tad of wasabi for his pieces only. The rice is just the perfect size and room temperature, whereas the fish are absolutely fresh and portion wise was generous. The fish to rice ratio were spot on. In no way did we felt the fish slices were too thin. The precision and prep work to make each sushi was meticulous and they know just how much soy sauce to apply on each pieces. Some of our favorites were on the menu like uni, scallop, toro, sweet shrimp to name a few. Separately, my wife ordered a wagyu scallop truffle sushi for $20 and wow, she savored every lick of it. The chef even made a complimentary sushi for my son giving his upcoming birthday and even put a candle on top. In no way did we feel the chef was pushing out the orders too fast and everything was perfectly paced. Also if you finish your portion of ginger, the chef refills it automatically. All in all, tremendous experience and would highly recommend to anyone who hasn't tried omakase before and want the best bang for their buck. read more

been here twice and both times the staff were great.m, food was amazing, and ingredients were so fresh. It wasn't too loud and the place was clean, fun vibes to catch up with a friend or two, or even to go by yourself, which I did the second time! It was overall great vibes and a good cost. read more

Last night was my 4th time at Tsumo since this location opened on the UWS. The restaurant has a nice ambiance. Chef Leo served another masterful meal. The fish was so nicely cut and seasoned. Everything tasted very fresh. I have dined at many omakase restaurants at, above and well above their price of $58 for a 13 course dinner. The quality of the fish at Tsumo is well worth the price. I am already looking forward to going back. read more

58$ for a 13 course omakase? Well worth. The quality of fish was good- the pairing of sauce with the fish was great as well. Space was also huge for an omakase place-- they had two omakase counters with 2-3 chefs each! Would recommend! read more

Tsumo Uws - My favorite extra piece I ordered --- scallop rib uni with caviar - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Fantastic omakase experience. I'll admit I'm not incredibly familiar with extremely high-end expensive omakase and will always gravitate towards the more affordable options like Tsumo. We showed up a few minutes before our dinner reservation, waited in the front lobby, then were greeted by staff who led us to our chairs promptly. Service was great, we enjoyed the entire meal uninterrupted, and I felt like our glasses were always full with water. My favorites from the menu were the botan ebi and the o toro (but let's be honest - all the fatty tuna pieces were amazing). The tuna outshined the salmon, which is for me a marker of fish quality, because cheap salmon tastes better than cheap tuna to me, but high quality tuna tastes better than high quality salmon to me. Quick service but didn't feel rushed. Didn't come starved but felt full (and not overstuffed) at the end of the meal, so we chose not to add any additional orders to our meal. read more

Affordable prices, very decent seafood, fresh and delicious. Good selection from the ocean, but doesn't offer any other appetizers, hot plate or dessert. Seating is comfortable, servers are friendly and attractive. Will recommend. read more

Omakase (13 courses) for $58?! Yes please. Super fresh, super melt-in-your-mouth. Great with food allergies (I didn't say I was gluten or dairy-free, but it would have been easily accommodated). Very basic little (24 seat) place with a fantastic sushi chef. Steve. So nice. Fast. Fun to watch. And really, the food was amazing. The staff was very attentive (refilled my water like 20 times). My ONLY complaint was, what's the deal with the Musak version of, "Staying Alive" on loop for an hour?! OMG. And btw, the whole experience was an hour. So you'll be in/out. We'll be back! Must make reservations and be ON TIME. Or they charge you if you don't show up. read more

Amazing omakase! Chefs are very interactive and knowledge. It was more than just a dinner experience, it was a whole adventure. Clean, new restaurant. Would come back any time. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had, hands down. I came here on a Saturday evening and made reservations a few days in advance. In regards to set up: Upon arriving, they have you wait until your reservation time in a general area right when you walk in. Then at your reservation time, they call your party into one of the omakase rooms. It seems that each room houses three sushi chefs that each serve six people. The chefs are clearly very skilled and made exceptional food. For just $58/person for a 13 course omakase, it was an amazing deal. Every piece of sushi was delicious. The pieces are delicately made with phenomenal flavors and textures. After the course, you can choose a la carte pieces, and the scallop wagyu piece was delectable. Overall, phenomenal food, great service, and lovely ambiance. Tsumo was a fantastic experience. Perfect for a date night. Would highly recommend to anyone who likes sushi or enjoys experiential meals. read more

So happy this opened up in the UWS! The beautiful interior is a compliment to the amazing food. 58 for a 13 course meal is quite a steal. We particularly liked the toro with truffle and uni. Our chef, Tony, was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Make a stop through here when you get a chance! read more

The food was, in my opinion, mediocre. Some rolls were better than others, but they were okay at their best. The chef was also difficult to understand. I understand that the prices are lower, but we expected more from this place. The ambiance was fine and comfortable, but nothing stood out too much. read more

Absolutely delicious omakase and it's great value. My favorite was their yuzu sauce. 13 courses for $58 - you bet I'll be returning! read more

This place is incredible for affordable omakase. Our chef Simon was the BEST. He was so warm, kind, and funny. I could tell he was incredibly skilled and treated each piece like art. I appreciated that he engaged with us and told us a little bit about each piece--it's great to know where the ingredients are sourced. To have a great dining experience for this price point is unbeatable. You must go! read more

The food was great. Worst service I've ever gotten in my life. We get there for our recreation and one seat is completely on the other side away from the whole entire party. Staff said there's nothing that could be done. Waiter and waitresses clearly were annoyed every time we asked for something. They never checked in on us. Very rude. Nice chef, good food, never going back because of the service. I never write reviews cause I'm lazy but I need to take the time to review this place and the shit staff read more

This place is awesome. The fish is super fresh and delicious and the selections are excellent. The chefs and staff are all very nice.

The sushi is really good, very fresh, the chef was talented and very nice as was all the staff. The only complaint I have is that they tell you they allot 75 minutes per meal. The chef worked so fast that all 13 delicious pieces arrived in less than 50 minutes. I felt rushed and could see that the other diners who were being served by the same chef felt the same way. The sushi was so good that I would have enjoyed more time to experience it. Here's why they lost a star. I was dining alone, love sushi and when dining alone, sushi bars are usually a good choice. Initially they seated me in the last seat by the bathrooms like a woman alone was an embarrassment. I hate being two feet from a bathroom so I asked to be moved. They did move me and were very gracious, but it was awkward. Then, I wanted to order one glass of sake, but they only sell it by the bottle and don't sell glasses of wine either (I don't like beer). I ended up ordering a small bottle of sake which was $35 and made the dinner much more expensive. It felt like I was being penalized for being a single woman. Will I return? Maybe with a friend or two, but definitely not on a night when I when I spontaneously feel like sushi. One other thing. they send this text when you have a reservation. I found it a bit inhospitable, but maybe that's just me: "Hey there! This is Tsumo-Upper West Side located at 782 Amsterdam Avenue .  Just want to confirm your upcoming reservation.

The food was spectacular but that is to be expected at this restaurant. The standout was our chef, steve who was so friendly and interesting as well as a truly talented chef. His creations were like works of art. I would recommend anyone wanting to go should request him, as there is one personal chef for every 5 or so guests. More than worth it for the price, life changing experience! read more
