Tsukimi

Tsukimi was great. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We had the summer menu and you could really taste that the ingredients represented the season. A lot of places say they picked the ingredients based off the season, but its usually simply the ingredients were in season. Tsukimi’s selection actually tasted like summer.

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.

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.

Lovely kaiseki spot with a good range of high quality dishes. Service is attentive and intimate, while the space feels like you’re walking into someone’s very nice home. Loved all the dishes especially the truffle rice and Wagyu rolls. Well paced as well.

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.
