Pretty decent experience, the majority of dishes was heavily flavored, a lot of cream, blue cheese, butter etc, the pig out was particularly heavy... we ate a bit more than half of the plate and just gave up, not because we were full or it didn't taste well, it was just too much for the stomach to handle at once lol The rice wrapped in lotus leafs(?) was very authentic imo, enjoyed that very much as well as the cauliflower (just wish there wasn't so much blue cheese) Overall a very decent dinner, tables were very close to each other which was a bit awkward, but it's nyc, we are used to it (sort of), the place gets filled up rather quickly, so definitely make a reservation read more

I had the chicken liver, chicken and porridge, and chinese beignet with ice cream. Everything was executed very well, and I in fact prefer their chicken liver to any foie gras simply on the grounds that it's so elevating. The chicken and porridge was incredibly well done. With such familiar flavors, it's easy to fall into average-ness, but they managed to impress nevertheless. The dessert was good, not too exciting flavor-wise, but very fun to eat. Highly recommended. read more

Would be easy to walk past this dimly lit establishment if it wasn't for the tantalizing smells emanating from the kitchen. The fluke tartare was a delight as the floral hints of yuzu blended perfeclty with the fluke and the whimsical shaped crustini/cracker. The crisped quinoa on the halibut was a delight and the fish was impeccably cooked. read more

Had been dying to try this place after hearing rave reviews and it definitely lived up to the hype. This is a great date spot as it has a cozy and not crowded atmosphere and exceptional service. We got the scallops and octopus as starters and then got the snow crab noodles to share as a main. What really stood out was the quality of the food, the precise preparation/cooking, and artistic plating all living up to its Michelin star status. The favorite by a long shot was the snow crab noodle dish which is influenced by the simplicity of homemade Italian pasta dishes alongside the perfect balance of salt, acid, and sweet in Asian noodle dishes. Next time I come back, I will 100% be getting my very own as this dish is too good to share. read more

Tuome is one of my favorite Asian fusion restaurants. This is my second time coming to Tuome for restaurant week. app: Heirloom tomato: very refreshing and appetizing. 4/5 Shrimp: very good. 5/5 Chicken liver: I had this last year and liked it very much. 5/5 main: Snow crab: this was so good! One plate was not enough! 5/5 Steak: this was not on the restaurant week menu but they offered this as an option. But some part was hard to chew. 3/5 Pig out (for two): I had this last year and absolutely recommend to everyone who visits Tuome for the first time. This is something special that you don't get at other places. 5/5 dessert: Berry: simple but a good finish of the entire dining experience. 3.5/5 Beignet: who doesn't want some ice cream after dinner? 4/5 read more

Came here for our first stop of restaurant week! Overall we were very impressed with all of the dishes, but the chicken liver mousse, Berkshire pork and beignets really stood out! We ordered chicken liver and wagyu beef tartar for the appetizers. Chicken liver was so smooth and creamy -- smeared over a warm piece of toast, it almost tasted like a very rich butter. I could eat that all night! The beef wasn't as tasty in comparison. Next was the Berkshire pork for two served with peanut sauce noodles. The pork reminded me of crispy pork belly skin on top of something similar in texture to pulled pork. Paired with the sauces and the chewy peanut noodles, it was an interesting and delightful entree. Dessert we ordered the beignets and chocolate mousse. The restaurant week menu online offers apple almond tarte but this wasn't offered in the store, and my waitress said the online menu may be from a previous year. Darn! I like to plan what I'm ordering ahead of time for restaurant week so I was pretty disappointed that the menu wasn't up to date - but it's hard to be upset when everything else was so tasty. Anyway if I could do it again, I'd make it two orders of the beignet. The chocolate mousse was very rich and there was nothing wrong with it, but it just didn't compare to the beignets. They were almost like mini croissants, still warm, and we were told to cut them in half and make an ice cream sandwich with the vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce (which came in the cutest little condiment bottle). Overall, I would highly recommend Tuome! I'd make a res as it's a small space and seemed to be packed even on a Monday night when it temperatures were in the low teens!! read more

Had the best experience & food at this restaurant! We have been to a few Michelin awarded restaurants, but this one was our favorite by far. We ordered the octopus & Pig Out for two and they were both incredible. The bread comes displayed on a plate with a creamy seasoned herb butter. The Pig out was pork belly that was perfectly seared on the outside and soft and fatty inside. We got the beignets with chocolate goat milk for dinner, which was delectable. Everything had unique and delicious flavors. The restaurant is also a very chic vibe, the outdoor dining was done very thoughtfully. We had the honor to be served by Cameron, he was so helpful, funny & genuinely a great person. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a true NYC michelin experience. The drinks were also fab! Highly recommend!! read more

I went with 4 people around 830 on a Friday. My friend made a reservation for us and we were seated right at the time of our reservation. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a great intimate atmosphere. The entire experience was great. - Deviled eggs: These come highly recommended from Yelpers. They definitely lived up to the hype. - Mushrooms: These were cooked perfectly and were a pretty large portion. They're not a must-do, however. - Octopus: Definitely recommend the octopus, although we still have no idea what pork xo is. It was very firm and flavorful. Do not miss this appetizer! - Chinese broccoli: We felt we needed a green, and this was a great pick. I loved the sesame flavor. - Pig out: Totally worth the hype. It comes with squares of perfectly cooked pork with crispy skin that are absolutely amazing. It also comes with noodles in a spicy peanut sauce. They entire dish is to die for. It's worth it to come to the restaurant just for this dish! - Beignet dessert: the actual beignet with the caramel was delicious. I didn't love the marmalade, but other than that, I thought it was great. The service was great and the waitress gave us some great recommendations. We absolutely loved Tuome. read more

Tuome - Pig out for 2 - New American Near Me - New York, New York

See all

Fantastic tucked away little spot that I have been wanting to come to for a while, which did not disappoint. Certain dishes were Chinese traditional with a twist which was interesting since this isn't (to me at least) a Chinese restaurant. Three of us ordered to share the apps: deviled eggs (deep fried with a nice spicy touch.. Don't think just get it), chicken liver mousse (awesome), octopus (I don't eat it but my friends loved). Entrees were the pig out for two and salmon. We got an order of the duck fat Chinese bacon lotus wrap and Brussel sprout sides. Pig out out for two was the main reason I was there and slightly underwhelmed. Now understand this, a lot of Chinese ppl including myself grew up eating this crispy roasted pig and it's usually super juicy and fatty. Not here. First bite was great but nothing special after that. Great flavor but a little dry. As for the lotus wrap, I grew up eating this every weekend growing up. My kids eat this now and you can find these at any Chinese bakery. I liked the duck fat which gave it a moist flavor. The rest of the meal was excellent and service was amazing. Would def recommend. read more

Tl;dr: great food, good service, make a reservation. Recommendations: strawberry sangria, sunchoke, basil chicken Went to Tuome on a Tuesday evening and it was bustling. Not super crowded, but definitely full and could not have gotten in without a reservation. The food was delicious. Lots of lovely details that were meticulously executed. Their complimentary scallion pancakes were presented to us as a "welcome from the kitchen". I loved that detail! They were crunchy and light. We asked for the sangria, which was delicious. Could not taste the alcohol, but was not overly sweet. Light and refreshing. For appetizers, we got the chicken liver, which went really well with the maple syrup. We also got the sunchoke, which was light and lemony. We got the king crab noodles (so! buttery!), which were the perfect amount of al dente, but a bit too heavy for me personally. We also got the chicken, which was crunchy and delicious. read more

I archived my pictures ;___; but I was very impressed by the presentation and experience of some of these plates. My bf and I sat by the window and it was such a nice night for this kind of date. To be honest for the price and the one Michelin star, I wasn't super impressed. Jeju noodle bar is a better option! read more

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The food is absolutely amazing. However, the service needs improvement. We had a pretty late reservation. Upon arrival, there was no table available. We were standing at a corner and waited for another half hour till seated. The restaurant is very compact. Standing there for 30 mins is definitely not comfortable..... The fun part started after we finish the courses. Since it's my friend's birthday, we brought a birthday cake. We asked the waitress for cake service, she said it would be an extra charge of $8 per person for cake service. Even though $8 is quite a lot for cake service, we still accepted it because hey you can't have a birthday without cake. So the waitress went back to the kitchen with our cake. She brought back 3 plates (for 3 people), and re-emphased "hey it's $8 per person just to make sure". At that point, it got a little awkward because we already accepted it, and you don't have to keep asking, we won't run away.... Then it got even more awkward, she brought back 3 plates with a slice of cake in each.... so we now have 6 plates on the table for 3 people, 3 have cake, 3 don't.....what's the point of this? Is it some puzzle that we need to solve? What's worse is that my friend didn't even get to cut her birthday cake, and in fact she didn't even get to see the cake.....We brought candles and cake decorations but now there is nowhere to use them. So we asked the waitress to bring back the rest of the cake. It was a quite disappointing, we only got half of the cake to decorate, and my friend had to take a picture with half of a cake for her birthday. .. read more

Everything we ordered was exciting and new! One of the best meals I've had in awhile and we both left happy and full. We started with the deviled eggs which was savory and spicy! It was a genius move to fry the egg white to give it a crunch. I ordered the chicken which was juicy, tender and fried to perfection over a sushi rice porridge and a grilled cabbage leaf. There was a sauce that was indescribably delicious as another layer of flavor. The BF ordered the skate which he loved as well. We're definitely going back for more soon! read more

Food is super inventive and delish here. No hassle reservation, warm staff, good food at high-er prices but not to terrible, and cozy restaurant (so note for your bulk winter coats!) Came here with two gfs on a Tuesday night around 630 (it was busy around 8ish). Come early and take advantage of their happy hour where we got to snack on deviled eggs (not my favorite thing), and shrimp chips with everything bagel type toppings and creme fraiche (very yummy), and a glass of dry Italian red wine for $6! Most items on the HH were around that price, which is such a good deal. For dinner, Mon-Thurs they do a "Taste of Tuome" where one could opt to a tasting of 3 courses. They do put most of their greatest hits on this menu which is nice. We decided to just share a bunch of the dishes- all pretty good. Here's the rundown: - Perfectly grilled octopus in XO - Octopus was perfectly grilled but a bit small to share, and the XO butter didn't really shine through. The octopus could have used more flavor as well... -Famous Snow crab noodles - deliciously creamy with a good helping of meat of snow crab. They also take it all out on the shell, which is nice so you eat mess-free -The chicken- so good!! I love a good perfectly cooked, seared chicken. A good chunk of dark and white meat- perfectly salted, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. Served over a stew of rice which was supposed to be like congee.. but kinda not. Wish they added a bit more veggies (think it was bok choy) on this -The lobster for two - incredibly rich. This wasn't my favorite because the sauce was a bit sweet and the chow fun noodles a bit too saturated with that flavor, and it was very rice. The grilled bread as an accompanying item was good. The tripe addition (for flavor) was not my fave and I felt the delicate flavor of the lobster did not go through After food, drinks, tax, tip, came to about $80 ish pp. Highly recommend the shrimp chips, chicken, snow crab noodles as the home runs here. read more

Early Wednesday night dinner choice was to try Tuome cause 1) past kitchen credentials of chef 2) passed by last week & was inviting c) menu was intriguing. We tend to have a smaller appetite than most so we went in focused. The menu had a lot of choices for the adventurous. So we (2 diners) chose the watermelon & chicken liver starters. These were preceded by their amuse bouche of green papaya with tomatoes salad. Great & refreshing. The cold starters were fresh & delighted our palate with contrasts. Watermelon with ricotts & hint of mint was lovely. Then to switch to the savory chicken liver mousse was so enjoyable, probably because we love chicken livers. But to combine bits of garlic, pumpkin seeds & salt was a little work to get us thinking. The main came, their short rib with sweet potato puree (so yummy) and shishito peppers. This was a delicate short rib but we wished for more puree!!! We also ordered 2 sides which were their corn in curry yogurt and sticky rice with kake & chinese sausage. The corn had an unexpected twist with the curry yogurt but we were more surprised with the hint of heat in the rice. We asked and it was sambal lime!! I love spicy so this was a baby kick that we didnt mind at all. Their dessert choice seemed like an afterthought. It was vanilla ice cream with seasonal berries and what tasted like kumquat syrup. It was refreshing because it was a 90 degree day (we chose a dry rose bottle for that reason) but was just enough to share. I ended up eating most of it because i wasnt as full (ahem). All in all, we were happy with our dining experience and hope people dont catch on so this place stays airy & relaxed. read more

Had a reservation for a party of 5 and was seated promptly. The decor is very cute in this place, giving off a chill vibe. The drink menu selections was great! I highly recommend the Jacques cider if you are a fan of cider. Definitely the best cider I've ever had. We also had a bottle of Verdejo's El Gordon. If you are a fan of savignon blanc, this is the wine to try. Crisp with a hint of tropical flavors, yet not sweet and still refreshing. We tried all the appetizers. Loved them all! I highly recommend the octopus, very tender and the xo pork complimented it very well. Also my other favorites were the crispy deviled egg and the chicken mousse which was complimented perfectly with the maple syrup. We tried the pig out for 2. There were 10 crispy pieces of pork with a light arugula salad and a spicy peanut noodle dish. The sauce for the spicy noodle dish was really great and the noodles tasted like handmade noodles. The duck was a huge hit at our table, a perfect medium rare. The chicken was also a big hit with the porridge underneath. We also tried all the sides. They were all delicious. My favorite of the night was the brussel sprouts, crispy with a refreshing hint of sweetness from the grapes and the raisins. I also really enjoyed the steamed rice with kale, Chinese sausage, and duck fat. Dessert was a nice surprise. Was so full didn't think we had room for it but it was so delicious we ate it all. Chinese beignets accompanied with vanilla ice cream with red bean and a goat milk caramel. Needless to say it was a lot of food but since it was so delicious we are every last bite, there were not leftovers. read more

Made reservations for 7pm on a weekday but you'll probably be fine without at this time as they had open tables, but they did get packed later in the night. The space is dark and cozy. The entrance is spacious and has a bar and a lot of standing space. The room on the left is where most of the dining tables are. There are two large windows turned bench seating and more tables opposite of it. I came here with a friend and we started with cocktails. I got the fire in the sky and my friend got the blushing dragon sangria. We both enjoyed our drinks though I do think hers had a lot of ice in it. We both got the "taste of tuome" which is the 3 course pre-fixe. First, we got the shrimp - the creme fraiche goes really well with the shrimp and the chip adds a nice texture to the mix, but I felt like the shrimp was not flavorful enough even with the spices piled on it. Second, we got the pig out for two - the 10 pieces of pork was super flavorful and the crispy skin on top was cooked to perfection, the side sauces weren't even necessary. It also came with a salad on the side of arugula, persimmons, and walnuts. It also came with bowl of peanut noodles for each of us, which we couldn't finish. The portion looked small, but after eating the pork, it's quite heavy. For dessert we got the beignet (only one option here) where you can build your own little ice cream sandwich. There were four freshly made beignets, ice cream, red bean, goat milk caramel, and citron. I thought the citron was over powering so I avoided that on my second creation. And the service was great! Overall, it was delicious and I'd come back to try the other items. read more

I would come here just to eat the deviled eggs with a glass of wine. I had no idea that deviled eggs could be so good - The bottom was breaded and crispy while the top fluffy and flavorful. Just wow. The rest of the meal was good too. I had a vegetarian version of the snow crab noodles. From my south-Asian palate, it was too buttery and not as flavorful as I would have liked. read more

This was certainly a very memorable experience (in mah mouf) and I highly recommend you check it out. I was there with 5 girls for a light dinner and drinks. The dinner started with an amuse bouche that was some sort of apple puree with a hint of chili. This was really superb, and I felt inspired to make soup all winter long. For food, we got: The Octopus Brussel Sprouts Maitake mushrooms Sticky rice The Pig Out This wasn't a ton of food so if you are trying to have a real meal, I would recommend throwing in another main course or two. The standouts for me were certainly the Pig Out and the octopus. The octopus came with this amazing pureed fingerling potatoes that came out of one of those fancy spray cans. I typically don't eat canned food but for these I'd make an exception every day for the rest of my life if I could. The Pig Out is an absolute must. This is supposed to be for 2, but honestly it was a lot for two people (in my opinion) if you are planning on getting a few appetizers. The spicy peanut noodles were potentially the best part of the meal. The service was great, the atmosphere was wonderful and the soap in the bathroom smelled fantastic. Definitely recommend, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Real talk: probably the best wagyu I've had in the city in a while. Got that, the pork, the quail, the the chicken liver, and the deviled eggs. Every plate was spectacular but the wagyu takes the crown. They're also playing 80's straight up jams throughout if you go later in the night. You pair that with a bottle of French white, a bottle of Spanish red - excellent meal. read more

I only popped in here for a few Happy Hour drinks with my friend, but I really liked this place overall. It's a small space and dimly lit but the staff is really friendly and (dare I say it) easy on the eyes... We got a little hungry so we ordered the fried chicken sandwich appetizer. It came with two, so easily shareable between two people or, if you're feeling yourself, I guess you can eat both. I really liked the honey plus the daikon relish - it was a nice combination. read more

LOVE this restaurant! Seriously give this place a try if you're in the neighborhood. The ambiance is super nice and low key, especially if you come before the dinner rush on weekends. It feels very intimate so it's great for dates or just hanging out with friends. Cocktails were super yummy - I tried the Yuzu, Thai chili and sake one. Beef tartare was good, but nothing mind blowing. Still worth trying if you like wagyu beef. Definitely get the sliders with brioche, the entire thing just literally melts in your mouth and is so incredibly flavorful. The portion size is perfect because you get enough to satisfy you and enjoy the flavors, and it's also quite filling. We tried the cobria and snow crab pasta. The cobria is kind of subpar; I would skip on this dish. You get virtually no fish for the price, and the flavor of the broth is just average. Not well executed at all and it was my least favorite dish. The snow crab is AMAZING. I'm not an Italian food/pasta person at all and I really liked this dish. The noodle texture is so chewy and tastes almost like it's handmade. The best part though is hands down the sauce - it is literally the perfect balance of flavor. I do wish they gave more actual seafood for the price tho. Overall - I do recommend this place, although I would keep the price of the dishes in mind when ordering. They definitely add up easily, and the portion sizes are kind of inconsistent. read more

Tuome - Snow crab pasta - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Came here with a friend for restaurant week. We had a last minute reservation for 6 (which is when the place opens up). The ambiance is very nice and romantic (there are little candles on each table). Ice cold water in a glass are the first things that were brought out along with the menu. Then we were brought complimentary starter: golden beet on top of yogurt. It was a cute presentation but I wasn't a fan of the mix of flavors. I tried the chicken liver mousse with maple syrup and toast. It was my first time trying liver...and I'm not a fan. So I mostly ate the small pieces of toast. When the server saw that we were out of bread, they offered to get us another plate of toast (on the house!). The snow crab noodles with danish butter and butternut squash could have been the only thing I ordered and it would have been enough. It's very heavy but also super delicious! I would come back just to order this. Beignets (tasted liked fried mantous) with chocochip ice cream was a nice way to end the meal. As the night went on, servers were not as attentive as earlier in the evening but that's because it was a full house. Servers still replaced our empty bottle of water with a new one and came by to refill our glasses with water. read more

Definitely wouldn't mind coming back here. My friends and I love to try different pasta dishes anywhere so we came here for the crab noodle. We did the pre-fixe menu ($48 for appetizer, main dish and dessert. We also ordered the Fluke and a side of Mac and cheese. For drinks we got the Sangria (soooo delicious) Honestly, everything was amazing. The best part was the freshness of those beignets!!! You can't convince me they aren't kneading that dough in the back themselves, lol. Our waitress was also very knowledgeable of the menu and helped with suggestions. Will certainly be going back some time. read more

They have a small menu but I believe they try to perfect every single dish. However, my experience just totally shut me off. I ordered chicken liver and snow crab. Chicken liver was great, soft, infused with natural flavors. It came w three toppings and some bread. I had a really high expectation to their snow crab. Based on the picture, it's supposed to be snow crab w pasta noodles. HOWEVER, mine was literally just noodles. There was a second I thought they put the crab and noodles separately (I ordered delivery). But it didn't take long for me to realize, nope, they just put super tiny bit crab in my meal. I don't know if they always do this or they did it only bc it was a delivery order. Honestly all the restaurants survived during pandemic should feel appreciate bc customers are supporting their business. But this just made me doubt the quality of this restaurant and if it's worth going again. Is it a decent Michelin one star? Maybe. Can it be ranked higher? Probably not. read more

My husband and I came here for an anniversary dinner, and we both agreed it was one of the best places we've eaten at together. It's a quaint place - very cozy, dim lighting, exposed brick wall. The vibe is warm and comfortable. You can tell it's a nice restaurant without being too upscale. We decided to order off the prefix menu that included 3 dishes. We got the chicken liver, pig out for two, and beignets. We also ordered the cauliflower as an extra app. Each dish was more delicious than the last. If you love suckling pig, the pig out for two is a must-get! It also comes with peanut noodles. They also included a cute message saying happy anniversary when they brought out our dessert. It's a great place for a date or small get-together, and definitely a place we'll be going back to! read more

Prices: Pig Out for two $56 Deviled Egg appetizer $8 I still don't know how you pronounce this place's name, but I enjoyed my dinner here. I made a dinner reservation for two for a Monday night. I probably didn't need to as there were plenty of empty tables when we rolled in for our 8PM reservation. I'm not sure how busy this place gets on the weekend though. If you come here on a Monday to Thursday, you have the option of getting their 3 course prix fixe for $45. It's a pretty good deal given that a single entree already runs around $30. We started with the deviled eggs as an appetizer. It was easily the best deviled egg I've had. They somehow managed to place a delightfully light but crispy crust over the egg white. The yolk came with a touch of chili oil to tie in the Chinese flavor. I was really torn between ordering the snow crab and the Pig Out, but went with Pig Out in the end as it's their most popular dish. I really wish there was a Pig Out option for one so I could've tried both. The dish comes with a bowl of peanut noodles, 5 pieces of pork for each person, and a salad. The noodles had the perfect texture. They were dense and yet still springy. The peanut sauce coating the noodles was reminiscent of the peanut sauce you get to accompany Vietnamese spring rolls. The pork is prepared as a confit in duck fat. The pork itself was super rich and tender.The meat texture fell apart as if it had been shredded and then reassembled. Somehow it oddly held together well enough for me to pick it up with my chopstick despite how it felt like it was falling apart each time I bit into it. I have no idea how they achieved that. Our meat came with a little bottle of pepper sauce and a little bowl of ginger shallot sauce. The pepper sauce added flavor while only throwing in a hint of heat. In all honesty though, the meat had enough flavor on its own that you can eat it plain if you want. The skin on the pork was incredibly crispy. We've eaten our fair share of crispy pork in various Asian dishes, but my husband proclaimed this as the best iteration he's had of it. Delicious food, intimate atmosphere, and friendly service. If I was a local, I'd already have my next reservation booked to try the snow crab. read more

First time dining here and it was a wonderful experience through and through. Overall service was great and the manager Andrew even came over to our table and suggested a natural wine that would pair with our dishes, and we loved it! We started off with two small dishes: the octopus and hamachi (not pictured but worth the try) and then ordered the entree of the snow crab pasta which was my favorite- super yummy and tasty! For dessert, i world recommend the beignets and making them into a ice cream sandwich style (as they suggested). Overall a great choice of delicious food items, knowledgeable and welcoming staff!

I came here for restaurant week with my wife. We enjoyed the ambiance as it is very romantic type of lighting and feeling.

A cute spot, filled with romantic couples (and blasting rock music). All we had was the Pig Out for two: very satisfying. I know, the $49 charge looks steep, but it's worth every penny. The noodles weren't as warm as I had expected, but they were still tasty. The pork belly was rich and succulent. I wasn't impressed with the other options on their menu, but this dish is very good. read more

What a wonderful evening !! The meal and drinks were outstanding. The Octopus was perhaps the best I ever had.

Friend and I randomly found Tuome and had one of the best dinners. We dined at the bar and ordered octopus, cauliflower, chicken porridge, crab noodles, side of carrots and beignet ice cream to top it all off! Every dish from the first bite to the last was impeccably executed. Not only were the flavors robust leaving you wanting more but there is clearly a lot of thought to the texture of the dish. I live in the 90s but will be heading down here again! Great date spot or dinner with friends! read more

One of the best restaurants in New York city. The wait staff were attentive, they gave good food suggestions. We ordered the octopus and the quail for our appetizers. I don't know how the chef infuses so much flavor! Every bite was phenomenal. We ordered the chicken and snow crab noodles as our mains. The noodles were amazing!! Would definitely recommend ordering this dish. The chicken was well cooked, buttery and so tasty. read more

The moment you walk in, the atmosphere of the restaurant is calming and the service is friendly. Don't skip on appetizers or dessert here. Those were the highlights of the meal for me. For the appetizer, I highly recommended the Tartare. It is perfectly seasoned and delicious mixed with the yolk. The woman sitting next to me even ordered this as her meal. For the main, we ordered the pig out for two but were a little disappointed in the pork belly. I expected it to work crispy all over but instead it was a little soggy on the bottom with a crisp top. The noodles were pretty delicious though. For dessert, we ordered the beignets with ice-cream. Top notch! I could eat that over and over again. The seating was a little tight depending on whether you're in the front area or back. But that's New York right? Overall I'd come back and try to order different items off the menu instead of the pig out for two. read more

So I was very mixed on Tuome and for the price point I would expect more of a punch in a lot of the dishes. Service was great and the outdoor parklet was nice. Wine/sake cocktails - very good and was a nice start Quail - pretty solid, but portion was small Fluke ceviche - nice Deviled eggs - one note and kinda bland - needed something to give them punch Octopus - solid, but not mindblowing like the reviews say Chicken main - very bland, messy and fell flat Pigout - meet was dry, noodles good - kinda one-note on flavors Crab Noodles - solid, but once again, not mind blowing like you would expect Rice in leaf with sausage side - one of the better things we ate Overall would def not return for the price point. Very disappointed b/c i brought family and they were disappointed as well. read more

Chef Thomas Chen, former 11 Madison Park alum strikes again! This time at the most iconic East Village spot, Tuome. I have to admit that I did my research ahead of time and glanced at the menu probably more than I needed to. It was easy to succumb to pretty much every picture and review of the "Pig Out" dish. And of course, we had to order that. In retrospect, the dish was more than enough food to order another entree, and yet we did anyway. Other notable dishes were the skatewing fish entree and the deviled egg with a twist. I'm not a big fan of either dishes, however Chef Thomas Chen's asian flair and influence made me into one. If you're ever in the mood for something eclectic, Tuome is your safest bet. Suggest making a ressie since this place has gone off the map! Thanks for keeping our stomachs full and eyes wandering for more. read more

Went here with a couple of friends on a Friday night. I was sure to make a reservation and we were able to be seated right away. We were all pretty hungry, so we decided to split a few dishes: Egg (3.5 stars): These were good, but seemed to be a little less exciting than was expected based on all the ingredients and special preparation. Snow crab (5 stars): Oh. My. Gawd. This. Dish. I don't even know where to begin. I did not even know that I enjoyed snow crab until I had this dish. The crab was so tender and flavorful and paired perfectly with the noodles. This was definitely the best dish of the night. Pig out (4 stars): This was the dish that I expected to shine most. The peanut noodles were definitely 5 stars, but the pork belly was closer to 3 stars as it was overcooked and almost too crunchy to eat. The sauces that it was served with were nice, but they couldn't make up for the lack of tenderness. Rice (5 stars): This is one of the best rice dishes I have ever had. Totally was not expecting the dish to be so tasty and was definitely the most bang for the buck dish of the night. Brussels Sprout (4.5 stars): These were done well--a mostly classic preparation with a few additions that really elevated the dish. Overall, the food here was spectacular and that was despite the underwhelming pork belly that we expected to be the bright spot of the meal. In addition, the service was top notch and super friendly as they let us enjoy a leisurely meal that definitely topped the 3 hour mark. The main downside of this place is that the pricing is a bit absurd as some of the dishes (especially the pig out) are very overpriced. That being said, the quality is worth biting the bullet for a special occasion. read more

I had read positive about Tuome since they opened not too long ago and made it a point to stop by for their famous "pig out for two" for dinner with a friend of mine. My friend and I had an early reservation (6pm) and were one of the first people in the restaurant which is quaint yet nicely appointed across two rooms. The entrance room has 2 window seats (we were in one - and yes it was a bit chillier there) and a small bar area while the adjoining room has only small tables. Our server was very warm and friendly and happy to be part of the Tuome team - apparently this was her first waiting tables gig and she shined at it. We ordered a bottle of wine to share - a rieseling - and decided to share a few things on the menu. After asking our server's opinion on which was better, we were a bit hard pressed to come up with our final choice (there were just too many things we wanted to try) but we decided on: the "hot small" mushroom app, the brussels sprout side and the pig out for two main entree. That was more than plenty of food for two people to share, and honestly, we could have been more than full if we skipped the brussel sprouts. Highlights: the mushroom hot appetizer was actually my favorite dish of the night. A variety of wild mushrooms served with a sixty minute egg (think a slow cooked perfectly poached egg). It was rich and delicious. I would go back purely to have this again. The peanut noodles which accompanied the pork belly in the entree my friend claimed to be some of the best she has ever eaten (she is far more a noodle aficionado than I am) and I can attest to their soft and stickiness, I don't have much to compare them to. Mediumlights: I appreciated the pig out for two's presentation - with the 10 peices of crispy pork belly lined up alongside a small salad and two sauce toppers - the pork was only okay. Unlike noodles, I have eaten my fare share of pork belly and I think what threw me most was the temperature of this. It was only luke warm, if that, on the plate and I felt as though the meat suffered a bit drying out as we ate it. Perhaps the drier, more crunchy texture is the restaurant's goal, and if so, then it just means it isn't a home run for my taste buds. The brussel sprouts were good and I enjoyed the addition of grapes to that dish - similar in shape yet completely different in texture and taste it gave the dish that extra mouth feel which I enjoyed. The XO sauce was understated, which I wished it not to be thus me putting it in the mediumlights section. Lowlights: The sauces with the pork belly I just did not understand. I actually felt like the dish stood better on its own with those sauces saved for a different dish or not used at all. Also, the draftiness of the seat in the window is a real thing and I did eat there in the middle of winter so I could have kept my coat on and been more (or less) comfortable. Would I return? Yes. Especially for those delectable mushrooms. I also am eager to try their version of deviled eggs (done backward) and the octopus appetizer. Our service was impeccable, the space is lovely and the menu is inventive enough. Congrats to Tuome on a job well done! read more

See all

Yes, it is pricey. You're in NYC and you want to dine out at a place that serves really amazing food. You shouldn't be so surprised to pay a little. We had the pig out, broccoli, octopus and snow crab pasta. Between the 3 of us, that was enough food. We were full but didn't get a food coma...so that's a good feeling. If you love octopus, you must get it here. The texture of octopus is 1000% the bestest ever. So soft & subtle with flavors... Then there's aerated mashed potato (!!!) to accompany said amazing octopus. One of the best, if not the best, octopus I've ever had. Lastly, the gold medal goes to (I know, octopus didn't take it) the snow crab pasta. I didn't get a chance to analyze it too much because I slurped it down so fast wanting for more with every bite. I will be back just to eat this dish again. With that said, I can't describe how delicious this dish really is - you must try it for yourself. read more
