Dinner at Jin Ji Hotpot Gulou Branch
Hotpot
Chiefeater Luke Soon was introduced to the Chongqing Hot Pot with lamb and beef as the mainstay at Jin Ji Hotpot Gulou Branch


Japanese, Omakase
A night at Tsumo Omakase in Kips Bay can feel similar to most of the budget-friendly omakase spots in the city. They charge a pretty low USD48 (dinner it’s USD58) for the whole experience. After waiting in a room that’s dressed in a bamboo and Japanese wood joinery facade, you’ll be brought into a room with two 12-seat sushi bars, which is pretty different from the tiny, 8-12 seat shoebox counters you usually see at under-USD100 omakase spots in the city. Over a short-feeling hour, they serve 12 pieces of nigiri garnished with things like fried shallots and a pickled yuzu condiment, and a toro hand roll.


The sushi is just fine, but if you’re looking for an inexpensive spot with a decent sized group, Tsumo Omakase is a good option.




The chef was from Fuzhou, China. Just saying. There’s no way this will match up with the usual Michelin starred USD250 per pop omakases in Asia- but if you want value for money, Tsumo Omakase is your place!
Total 6.5/10 overall. Don’t get me wrong the seafood was passably fresh.
You need to get a reservation ahead of time which can be done on the website.
