TAKUMI OMAKASE

These Chinese omakase spots need to calm down or get their rice right at least. The fish quality seems ok but when eaten with the rest of the package, it’s a flat and empty dining experience. The guys that work the counter are very friendly though. The person that takes the phone calls needs to work on her customer service skills.

Chef Lee is the man. What a wonderful experience. Amazing fish selection, great vibe, and well priced. Will absolutely be back :) thank you guys!

Takumi is BY FAR the best omakase dining experience I’ve had in the city. To start, the space itself is very cozy and was the perfect place to spend my mother’s birthday with her on a cold winter night. The staff are extremely welcoming, friendly, and attentive. As two non-sake drinkers, we ordered green tea to accompany our omakase which came with free refills and our waitress always ensured our cups were never empty. The omakase experience goes by quickly but each piece is better than the last. Notably, the ginger foam oyster appetizer and eel hand roll with foie gras was to die for. Just to show how nice the staff were, our waitress accidentally dropped a tea pot near us and despite us assuring we were fine and not bothered at all, the staff served us 3 extra sushi pieces and also gave my mother a delicious mochi ice-cream dessert for her birthday. I’m already counting down the days until I can go back this is a MUST VISIT SPOT!

It was a great experience and also affordable for the price and everything that we tasted was fresh! The chef was so nice also the server

We visited Takumi on a trip to NYC after researching some affordable omakase places in Manhattan. This was our first omakase experience and we were not let down! Although the restaurant is a bit cramped, once you’re seated at the bar you are met with an open and friendly atmosphere. The sushi was amazing for the price; both the experience of having it prepared in front of us and the amazing taste made every dollar worth it. The staff, especially Megan, were extremely friendly and made the dining experience even better. Definitely recommend if you are a first-time omakase trier like us or if you want a bubbly and affordable dinner.
