We came for the restaurant week menu and were disappointed with all the dishes. The Tom yum tomatoes and scallops had zero Tom yum flavour.
We also had the eggs, chicken, snow crab noodles, and chocolate mousse and beignet desserts.
The eggs were flavourless and not very crispy. The chicken was completely plain, just greasy fried thigh and pan fried (and slightly dry) breast. The rice was rich and offered no balance. Snow crab noodles were nice, but incredibly heavy and we ate maybe 1/3 of the portion. The desserts were nice, but more fried food was the last thing we felt like.
Having oily deep fried elements in every course (including the complimentary scallion pancakes) was very unbalanced, and no dish was particularly flavourful. I’m not sure if just the restaurant week menu was badly designed, but I won’t be back to try the standard menu.
Service was adequate. Very surprised that they have a star and that the chicken is considered a star dish.
An incredible dining experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. You can truly appreciate the creativity, skill, and attention to detail that Chef Chen brings to each course. Every bite was memorable, and we enjoyed the meal immensely. Some of the dishes reminded me of the dishes I had at Eleven Madison. My favorite was the crab noodles and the scallop dumplings. A well-deserved reputation and a restaurant I would happily return to. Highly recommended!

The food wasn’t as good as I remembered from my first visit back in 2022. While everything was decent, I wasn’t as impressed this time around.
We decided to order from the NYC Restaurant Week menu, and I’d rate all the dishes a solid 3/5. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out to me either.
That said, our server, Chris, was amazing! He took great care of us, was very knowledgeable about the menu, and thoroughly explained what each dish entailed. He was also very accommodating with my dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated.
We made a reservation and arrived about 15 minutes early, but they were kind enough to accommodate us and seat us earlier. We were seated outside. The noise level was moderate—not too loud, and we were still able to have a conversation without having to scream at each other. However, I did end up with a few mosquito bites by the time we left, which made the outdoor dining experience a little less pleasant.
I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t come back, but it probably wouldn’t be my first choice when I’m back in NYC.

5/5 Stars – Absolutely Amazing Birthday Experience!
Celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at Tuome, and the entire night was flawless. The absolute best part of the evening was seeing her smiling from ear to ear the whole time.
The food here is incredible. The absolute standout was the King Crab Pasta—it was incredibly delicious and worth every single dollar. We also had the Lamb, which was a complete 10/10—super exceptional and cooked perfectly. Another massive highlight was the Mac and Cheese. Honestly, I put my life on the line just to try it because my girl was raving about how good it tasted, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We also loved the Beignets, which were super unique (especially with the side sauce), and the Charred Octopus was a really solid dish.
What truly sets this place apart, though, is the world-class service. Our server, Pooja, was hands-down the best. We had an order come out that wasn't quite what we expected, and she actually noticed it before we even took a single bite. She took one look at it, realized it wasn't right, and immediately took it back to make it happen perfectly. To top it all off, the staff noticed it was a birthday and brought out a complimentary dessert with a candle without me even having to mention it.
It’s those small, attentive details that turn a great dinner into an unforgettable experience. Phenomenal food, beautiful ambiance, and impeccable hospitality. We will absolutely be back!

Very mixed feelings about this place. I liked the outdoor seating and service. Starters were out of the world, the tomatoes with Tom Yum and scallop was mind blowing and the chicken mouse incredible. The mains were really disappointing. The snow crab noodles were not really great not the double chicken (other than the jus and rice that was really solid). Mousse of chocolat was alright too but very light on the chocolate profile.
I’d give starters 9.5/10, really amazing, main were 5/10 and dessert 7 for the mousse and maybe 5/10 for the beignets.
