Sushi counter serving a kaiseki-style tasting menu of seasonal Japanese fare in an intimate setting.
From Google Maps reviews.
Had a great omakase experience at Tsubame. The fish was incredibly fresh, each piece was well-balanced, and you can tell the chef puts a lot of care into every course. I liked how the menu had a good variety without feeling too heavy, and there were a few pieces that really stood out. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m craving quality sushi in NYC.
If you have friends visiting New York, or you're looking for an omakase experience during the World Cup season that's both incredibly photogenic and genuinely memorable, SUBAME remains one of my all-time favorites. In one meal, you get to experience three different varieties of sea urchin, each with its own personality -from light and sweet, to rich and creamy, to an explosion of ocean-fresh umami. Every bite feels like you're choosing the MVP of the evening. Add in the stunning presentation an
The concept of a half kaiseki half omakase was very refreshing. All the courses were delicious. I can’t say there was a single course I disliked. The staff was very accommodating for our allergies, going above and beyond most restaurants. The host and chef were friendly and not overbearing.
