About
Tachi opened in early 2026 as a direct homage to Tokyo's beloved tachinomi standing sushi bar culture, transplanted into a 12-seat hinoki and marble counter in Hell's Kitchen. Japanese Executive Chef Taka brings Edomae precision to an accessible price structure — the highest omakase set is $57 for 15 courses — making it one of the most compelling value propositions in New York's increasingly crowded omakase market. The format is quick and focused, with each piece showcasing simple, ingredient-led flavors and generous cuts of fish. Lunch is also served on weekdays. Infatuation placed it on their watch list shortly after opening.
Why it's on Washoku Guide
- A 15-course omakase for $57 is one of the most competitive price-per-course ratios of any Japanese chef-driven counter in New York City.
- The concept directly translates Tokyo's tachinomi standing sushi bar culture — an authentic format that remains rare in Manhattan.
- Executive Chef Taka's background in Edomae sushi ensures the low price point doesn't compromise the quality or tradition of the nigiri.
- Walk-ins are accepted alongside reservations, making it spontaneously accessible — a rarity for quality omakase counters in this price range.
