Tsukimi

“If you are looking for an extraordinary Japanese fine dining experience in NYC I highly recommend Tsukimi. Earning its well deserved Michelin star, this 12 seat counter restaurant a modern, deeply thoughtful Japanese kaiseki. The service is impeccable and I just love the minimalistic dining room.”

“Went for our anniversary. The food was fantastic and the staff was warm and welcoming. I loved the set up and it was perfect for a special occasion. The sake was very unique and exceptional. I almost don’t want to post pictures so as not to ruin the surprise!”

“Tsukimi is one of the most memorable dining experiences in NYC. The atmosphere is intimate and elegant, and every course is beautifully presented and thoughtfully paced. The seasonal ingredients truly shine, especially the pristine sashimi and refined warm dishes. Exceptional food, warm hospitality, and flawless execution. Absolutely worth it.”

“A top notch kaiseki in NYC. Every detail here is perfection. The chef showcases extraordinary technique and artistry, curating seasonal courses that feel both authentic and inventive. Service is impeccable—professional yet genuinely welcoming—and the extensive sake menu elevates the experience even further. I look forward to returning each season to savor the evolving menu.”

“Fourth or fifth time here. My favorite dish and the highlight tonight was the persimmon soufflé with cashew ice cream. In the past I’ve had banana soufflé which was also out of this world. My first time here I had the dry-aged slow-cooked low-charcoal-fired duck. Tonight they had the same, but it was not dry-aged long enough, and not slow-cooked long enough over the charcoal fire. The meat was a bit wet and did not have a “snap” to it as the first time, nor was the skin crispy enough like the first time. Also, another slight mishap tonight was a bone in one of my fish dish. Not a big deal to me, but to others it may be. I wish them good luck and hope they will earn an additional Michelin Star next year.”
