Comment: The highlight of Taikun is their light but notable touch of flavor to each piece through the use of soy and sake marinades, yuzu, or even olive oil. The marinades were used on their king salmon, tuna, and ikura, the last of which was my favorite of the three; at no other omakase have I tasted slightly sweetened salmon roe. The sea bream topped with olive oil was unexpected but the flavors mixed surprisingly well. One piece was topped with yuzu and chili, which was my favorite piece of the night. Another piece that was a crowd favorite was flavored with smoked hay. I appreciated that none of the additional flavors were overpowering. It was 13 pieces for $85, after which I admit I was still hungry (though of course you can purchase additional pieces). I did feel like I was missing certain pieces I always look forward to, such as unmarinated king salmon and unmarinated otoro and chutoro. There was however the usual seared tuna piece. The chef and waiter were both kind and knowledgeable. The chef said their usual lineup is always the same, with only the extra pieces changing depending on the season which I thought was a bit backward. The place was small and intimate but nothing extravagant. Overall, I enjoyed the refreshing and new flavors I wouldnt otherwise have at other omakases. I would consider Taikun toward the higher end of mid-tier omakases.

Comment: My friends and I stumbled upon this little gem in Bowery and we were all amazed and felt like we made a friend by the end of the night.The moment we walked in, we were greeted by Tee and Chef Feri who were both so warm and lovely. The atmosphere was private, intimate and quiet.Chef Feri’s passion for sushi was refreshing. There was so much emphasis on quality and flavor. Each piece was a party of flavors and melted in your mouth like butter. The attention to detail showcased Chef Feri’s dedication to his craft.Not only did we have a wonderful food experience, but also the great sake pairing led by Tee. He was so attentive, accommodating and sweet. We all had meaningful conversation, fantastic food, good drinks and wonderful company.Taikun is a must visit and my heartfelt gratitude goes out to Chef Feri and Tee for an evening that exceeded all expectations. 🫶🏻

Comment: Taikun is literally my favorite omakase in the world, amongst Michelin stars that are double and even triple the price. 6 seats. Incredible service. Incredible drink pairing (loved that one of the glasses was red wine that paired very nicely with the fattier pieces). Ill be back for my third time soon.

Comment: The absolute gem of Omakase in NYC. There are NO filler, which means everything they serve is great nigiri sushi. We also ordered sake pairing for which they pick sake for you for each sushi to complete the experience. Can I just say this is the best omakase experience I had in NYC, and it was a total surprise!! Will 100% visit again with friends

Comment: Extremely high quality and delicious omakase; as someone who traverses this genre all over NYC, this is the best value I’ve found. Delicate and perfectly seasoned; the scallop, golden eye snapper, and smoked fatty toro were favorites. Can’t wait to return.

Comment: This is place is an absolute gemstone. I will never be able to eat at sushi buffets ever again because this restaurant has raised my standards to heights never imagined before. They serve more than 13 dishes but youll need to ask for the secret menu. They also serve drinks. Shout out to Feri, the chef! Absolutely loved the host too. I will definitely be coming back with more friends!

Comment: Amazing small omekase place. The sushi was clean, creative and refreshing. At $85 it was a steal. We even got a couple extra pieces after, though 13 pieces should fill most people up.I highly recommend for a small party or date night. The chef was friendly and talkative, he even indulged my friends bad decision to try a spoonful of wasabi after the meal.Keep in mind they are not open Friday Saturday (during those days its a night club) and are reservation only!

Comment: You can enjoy authentic sushi in this restaurant with a nice hideaway-like atmosphere.The high rating is due to the deliciousness.The restaurant has a counter and private rooms, and the chef and staff were very kind.This time I was traveling with my dog, so I searched and found this restaurant, and I can vouch for the service and deliciousness of the sushi.You can fully enjoy the omakase for about $86.Thank you for providing and serving grilled seafood for my adorable dog.They finished it right away.Highly recommended for Japanese expatriates living in the United States who are hungry for the taste of sushi.

Comment: Taikun Sushi is definitely a hidden gem since we passed their entrance until the neighbor directed us and I believe we are not the only group that got lost. We took a photo of their store front for everyones reference.We strongly recommend people who havent tried Sushi Omakase to try this place since the price is really reasonable with its quality and what they serve on the menu is basic & various.Its $85 per person for 12 pieces of sushi with one dessert. Each sushi was delicious and really fresh but what really impressed us was how the chef presented each piece with creativity. Our favorites were the King Salomn which melted in our mouth immediately and the Ikura which was marinated with sake.The Chef Kei Yoshino is super friendly, welcoming and funny. He is flexible with most request customers have and can customerize based on their needs.

Comment: Ariella liked it again. Is there anything else you need to know? Book it. Go. Don’t hesitate.Had for second night in a row. Was amazing. Imagine that all opposites had a baby—it was the perfect balance between everything and nothing.
