" Had a great night at Takumi! The omakase was a vacation for my tastebuds! They have a unique take on classic dishes, which I really enjoyed, and I was pleased to see a mixture of traditional and innovative sushi styles. The staff were efficient but friendly; we were not left wanting anything. The only complaint I might have was that I felt the courses came a bit fast at times. Still a wonderful experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" We've been to many omakase places, but Takumi is now amongst our favorites! The quality of the fish was apparent with every piece, and the flavors married perfectly.

I felt the pacing was a bit swift, but I'm definitely coming back to experience the enjoyable vibe and amazing food again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Takumi Omakase deserves all the hype! The 15-course experience is well worth it, and the fish selection is always fresh and delicious. Their attention to detail is impressive, and the service was stellar. I had an amazing time celebrating with some friends. Just a note, the seating can be tight, so be prepared to get comfy! Overall, I can't wait to return for more delicious sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to visit Takumi Omakase with my friends, and it was an amazing experience! We ordered the 15-course omakase, and each piece of sushi delighted our taste buds. The chef was insightful and shared stories about each dish and its origin, enhancing our appreciation. I was particularly taken with the caviar-topped sushi - it elevated the experience! Although the place is small, creating a lively atmosphere, it’s great for seafood lovers looking for authentic flavors. Enthusiastically looking forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Takumi Omakase is definitely one of the best omakase spots in New York! The food was high quality, well-prepared, and delicious. The atmosphere was intimate, allowing for great conversation while enjoying the food. The chefs were passionate and eager to talk about the sourcing of the fish, which impressed me a lot. However, I found the portions a bit on the smaller side, though that did not detract from the overall enjoyment. Will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at Takumi Omakase was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us warmly, and we immediately felt the cozy ambiance. The omakase menu was 15 courses of pure delight. Each piece was skillfully explained by the chef, who took the time to describe the source of the fish and the techniques used. My favorite was definitely the miso cod; it melted in my mouth! It was incredible for the price too. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had my first omakase experience here, and wow, did it exceed my expectations! The 15-course menu was not just filling but extremely well thought out. Each piece was crafted with care, and the attention to detail was evident. I loved the variety of dishes from delicious appetizers to perfectly seasoned nigiri. The atmosphere was cozy, though a bit on the smaller side, making for quite an intimate dining experience. Service was welcoming and the chef was very knowledgeable. Will recommend this place to anyone looking for good omakase under $100! " (*Curated Review*)
