TAKUMI OMAKASE

In an unsuspecting location in LES lies an underrated New York City sushi gem, Takumi Omakase. This small restaurant offers an incredibly affordable 15-course omakase experience where the chef serves everything from toro with caviar to eel with foie gras. The standout about Takumi was the exceptional quality of the fish—each piece was fresh and perfectly prepared. The chef was incredibly accommodating, tailoring dishes to our preferences and taking note of pieces we loved. He was a little torch-happy happy; nevertheless, the use of it didn't feel too overdone. The restaurant's atmosphere was cozy and laid-back, reflecting the vibe of a typical Lower East Side spot—where the focus was clearly on the food rather than flashy décor. It was a refreshing reminder of how great food can make an entire dining experience memorable. I'll be back for sure.
