Where tradition meets craftsmanship. Every piece tells a story of precision, freshness, and the art of Japanese culinary heritage.
At Tokyo Bites, we honor the centuries-old traditions of Edomae sushi while embracing modern techniques. Our chefs train for years to master the art of selecting the freshest fish, seasoning the perfect vinegar rice, and presenting each piece as a work of art.
Every ingredient is sourced with intention — from the wild-caught salmon flown in from Hokkaido to the organic rice from Niigata prefecture. We believe great sushi is a harmony of simplicity and excellence.
Head Chef & Founder
With over two decades of dedication to the craft, Chef Kenji Nakamura brings the soul of Edomae sushi to every plate. Trained under master itamae in Tokyo's Tsukiji district, he spent ten years honing his technique before bringing his vision to New York.
His philosophy is simple: respect the ingredient, honor the tradition, and never stop learning. Every morning begins at the market — selecting the day's catch by sight, smell, and touch. It's a ritual that never grows old.
Seven meticulously crafted pieces — from Hokkaido uni to toro tartare with oscietra caviar — a journey through texture and flavor that changes with the season.
Four pieces of atlantic salmon nigiri with soy, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
Six pieces each of tuna akami and salmon nigiri — the perfect introduction.
Shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado top, unagi sauce, and toasted sesame.

Testimonials
Real words from those who have shared a meal with us.
The omakase experience at Tokyo Bites was nothing short of extraordinary. Every piece was a work of art — the toro melted on the tongue like butter. Chef Nakamura's passion is evident in every detail.
We celebrated our anniversary here and it was perfect. The staff anticipated our every need, the sake pairing was impeccable, and the ambiance transported us straight to Tokyo.
I've traveled to Japan twice and Tokyo Bites is the only place in New York that captures the genuine spirit of an authentic sushi bar. The hamachi is always impeccable, the service warm and attentive.
From the warm greeting at the door to the perfectly torched nigiri, every moment at Tokyo Bites feels intentional. The matcha tiramisu is a must-try — surprising and absolutely delightful.
Best sushi I've had outside of Japan. The omakase at the bar is an experience every New Yorker should have at least once. The sake selection is world-class and the service is impeccable.
