Seafood and Sushi Bistro TSUBOMI

A sublime treat for those in the neighborhood. Prices reflect the quality of ingredients. Dishes may take a bit if restaurant is at capacity, though worth the wait.

We had an amazing experience here. Owner Chef Genta’s sushi was truly exceptional, you can really feel the precision and care in every piece. Knowing that he trained at Ginza Kyubey makes perfect sense once you taste it.<br>The service was warm and attentive, and the overall atmosphere strikes a great balance. It’s a super family-friendly restaurant, yet the sushi bar is also perfect for an intimate night out.<br>Can’t wait to come back with my kids next time!

Delicious and fresh sushi & sashimi. We loved our experience here! Also Christopher was an incredible server who gave great recommendations, like the tuna lover platter and houjicha green tea.

Very fresh and high quality fish served. Came in for their lunch set menu that comes with a small ramen, a tuna roll, and three nigiri’s. The server and chef were very kind from the moment I walked in. If you’re ever in the area, I recommend to stop by!

I stopped in here on a Saturday and sat at the sushi counter. Everything was delicious!! Service was great and everyone who worked there was so friendly. I’ll definitely be back!!

I loved Sushi Yoshizawa that was here before, but Tsubomi with Chef Genta fills the spot perfectly. Great food, clean atmosphere, friendly staff, and a treat to be able to sit at his bar and eat fantastic sushi. Coming back next time in town isn't an idea, it's a certainty!

Such a wonderful evening! We can’t wait to come back! The service was amazing (even when they got busy, they were still attentive and kind, taking the time to listen to us and guide us into making menu choices) Everyone was working so hard and the efforts showed in the atmosphere, the food, and the service. The appetizers and rolls and nigiri were delicious, the sake and wine were perfect and the desert was a wonderful end to the evening. We were impressed with the extra touches like red bean paste with the icecream and yuzu ponzu with the appetizer! Everything had excellent flavor and beautiful presentation. It was so special that the sushi chef came over to say hello despite having a busy evening!<br>We were also impressed with the amount of thought that went into everything, from the beautiful artwork to the glassware and utensils. Thank you! We can’t wait to come back! A new neighborhood favorite!

Amazing dinner. The chefs and the servers were incredibly friendly and the food was all delicious.

I discovered this place for lunch and had to come back for dinner, the sushi was so fresh and expertly prepared. The people who work here are super friendly and it has good vibes. I especially love the adorable frogs made out of cucumbers. Lovely cute little spot.

The sushi is super fresh! I love the full bloom with 12 pieces of nigiri which is absolutely delicious. This is the best kept secret in the UES. The staff is also incredibly friendly. New favorite place in the neighborhood!

A restaurant run with sincerity and true Japanese hospitality.<br>Both the food and the service are outstanding. The quality is so high you could easily expect an omakase experience, yet you can enjoy it à la carte — a rare find in Manhattan. The neighborhood is lucky to have this place.

A small Japanese place close to our apartment and such a great find. We tried their lunch menu and everything was amazing. The fish tasted very fresh, the portions were just right, and the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. It felt cozy and personal, like a neighborhood spot you want to keep coming back to. Definitely one of those hidden gems you’re happy to have nearby.

Went here for dinner this evening with my 4 year old daughter and had the most wonderful time. The food was absolutely great, the restaurant has such a lovely, cozy ambience, and the staff were absolutely incredible. I can’t recall having such a great dining experience, especially with a child. Chef Genta was truly great and so welcoming, and we can’t wait to return. 10/10!!!

This area of UES has one of the most traveled and experienced Japanese Chef to serve you with excellent quality of fish and well pair sake menu and shochu. Highly recommend this restaurant definitely coming back !

Each dish was delicate, flavorful and artfully prepared. The prefixed menu left us surprisingly satisfied. The place is cozy but bright and open. We will definitely find ourselves here again soon!
