Tsukimi

8.0/10Japanese

AI-generated summary

Go for the kaiseki. People call it inventive and a change from all the tasting menus, and the sake pairing gets named almost as often as the food. It's a tiny room, roughly eight to twelve seats and reservation only. The price jumped to around $195 after they got a star and regulars still say it's worth it.

replying to u/ChefSuffolk: There are open seats at Kappo Sono literally every night they’re open next week. Not as hard as it used to be now that they charge up front.

“Tsukimi just got a star, I ate there in may ‘23 and it far exceeded expectations. At the time the tasting menu was $145 (8-10 plates), after they got a star menu went to $195. Only 8 seats, reservation only. Still worth it IMO.”
