About Mitsuru
Decide between the counter and dining room before booking Mitsuru. At the eight-seat counter, chef-owner Mitsuru Tamura serves a sushi-only omakase or a longer chef’s menu. The restaurant requires a counter reservation for either. The main dining room offers à la carte nigiri, hand rolls and seasonal plates.
Build the evening
The operator’s sample menu includes tempura, skewers and unagi don alongside sushi. It also advertises more than 500 wine bottles. Ask for the current menu and list when making plans, since selections change.
Before you reserve
Mitsuru is at 149 West 4th Street in the West Village and lists dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Flag dietary restrictions at booking for omakase; the restaurant says it cannot always accommodate every restriction without changing the experience.

The Vibe
Mitsuru gives a West Village Japanese dinner two distinct shapes. At the eight-seat counter, chef-owner Mitsuru Tamura leads omakase; in the main dining room, guests choose à la carte sushi, hand rolls, seasonal small plates and heartier dishes. A wine list of more than 500 bottles makes the drinks program a substantial part of the experience.
Best For
Choose Mitsuru’s eight-seat counter for chef-led omakase, or the dining room for an à la carte Japanese meal. Select counter seating when reserving omakase and disclose dietary restrictions in advance.
Ordering Tips
The counter offers sushi-only and full omakase. In the dining room, check the current list of nigiri, hand rolls, tempura and grilled dishes. Ask for the current wine list if pairing matters.
