    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 takeChoose 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.
