Joan ParkAugust 12, 2014If you're doing the Lunch Tasting menu order the Jumbo Oyster as the appetizer, Cod & Octopus as the entre, Salmon Sashimi in Wasabi Puree as the rice entre and Matcha Ice Cream for dessert.
New York PostSeptember 25, 2014Brushstroke’s meat-free, stylized cuisine is an edible work of art — and pretty delicious, too. Order the Japanese “black” rice, beneath portobello mushrooms, corn, chives and yuba. Read more
Travel + LeisureApril 11, 2013David Bouley’s newest sushi spot, run by chef Isao Yamada, is easily the best place in New York for kaiseki, the elaborate Japanese tasting menu. Tokyo superstars Super Potato designed the space.
- New York PostSeptember 21, 2014Brushstroke’s meat-free, stylized cuisine is an edible work of art — and pretty delicious, too. Stylized Japanese creations led off a lineup that killed until just before the end. ★★★ 1/2 Read more
Shirley LauJune 26, 2016Excellent Kaiseki tasting experience! Especially loved the corn soup and the Hassun dishes. Matcha ice cream with white chocolate sauce was a perfect finish. Highly recommend!
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014The offerings change regularly, but expect visually striking dishes like mountain yam floating in a pristine tomato gelée, tuna sashimi, and pork cheeks stretching over a velvety green apple purée. Read more
Simon HSeptember 19, 2014Wow! Amazing kaiseki. So delish. Their lunch tasting menu is $55 and worth every penny. Beautiful presentation, great service and a nice slow pace means you can relax and really enjoy the food.
Jessica de OliveiraFebruary 24, 2018Not only is the ambiance amazing but wow this place is well priced! The five courses for $85 is a STEAL for the quality and quantity of what you get.
Time Out New YorkJune 4, 2013The restaurant, a collaboration with Osaka’s Tsuji Cooking Academy, brings kaiseki cuisine—an intricate, formal multicourse feast—into a surprisingly relaxed and accessible setting. Read more
Cuneyt UysalDecember 19, 2015Lunch set menu helps whiners stop complaining about the prices here. It's worth it
Steven YDecember 22, 2012Sit by the open kitchen and make sure you try the chawan-mushi egg custard, sesame infused cod, crab and lobster rice, the imo dumpling and the green tea pudding dessert
DailyCandyFebruary 14, 2014Tokyo-trained chef Eiji Ichimura churns out classic, Tokyo-style sushi. Bridging the gap between experimental and traditional, each meal is customized to the diner’s cravings.
jansen cJune 26, 2016Awesome kaiseki menu and each portion was just right! Great service and their menu changes seasonally.
Maggie KMarch 16, 2013Great kaiseki ryori in NYC. Richard, captain and his back waiter Emily know their stuff. Takemoto-san arrived from Osaka one month ago & his authentic style shines through in the kitchen & its food.
Foxxy BJune 15, 2018I'd pass on the futomaki rolls—just not very refined for the experience & price. Also skip any of the fried dishes. Do try the duck breast, wagyu, tuna hand roll, or octopus. Service is a bit slow.
David BouleyJanuary 16, 2018Explore the noodle bar at brushstroke restaurant! 30 Hudson St, a few steps from Chambers St subway in TriBeCa
Marco LienhardNovember 21, 2013enjoyed their cuisine. Nice to find something closer to what you would get in Japan- you'd probably pay more in Japan too Recommend and will be back
Amanda RellaFebruary 3, 2018Check out the speakeasy noodle bar to the right when you walk in. Interesting ramen dishes like lobster, duck and iberico ham.
Eelain SteketeeMarch 5, 2012chawanmushi!! louder now.. CHAWANMUSHI!! this is expert skill & artistry in a cup. pro tip: must order the kaiseki menu. there's no point coming here if you're not going to get a taste of everything.
cheryl RosnerMay 26, 2011Hi, sit in the bar, have the wagyu beef and the oyster appetizer. The staff is friendly, introduce yourself, when you call, they will let you know if there are seats in the bar.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Expect high-end ingredients in copious portions. Sashimi may be monkfish liver, giant clam, uni, or osetra caviar. – Green Guide Editor
Premshree PillaiJune 1, 2013Get the kaiseki menu, and while you're at it I highly recommend getting the wine and sake pairing to elevate your dining experience.
Regina ConnorsMay 22, 2014As of this date Foursquare is not up-to-date with the restaurant hours. Brushstroke is now open for lunch from 11:30-2:45 Tuesday thru Saturday.
Katrina WongNovember 18, 2011best food i've ever eaten (!!) degustation and spot at the bar are a must. cannot stop dreaming about every one of the 8 courses...
Marta LApril 18, 2015A different japanese that you must visit if you're in town , let them help you with the menu !!!
Marc JacobsFebruary 23, 2014It was lovely, but for half the money you could go to Sugiyama, for twice the money you could go to Masa. It felt like a half-measure. The wine/sake pairings were excellent though, with nice rarities.
Lawrence LenihanMarch 10, 201211 course tasting menu is a fortune but great. Amazing sake list. Beautiful place.

Order the crab and truffle cha-wan-mushi off the ala carte menu in the bar.
Amy RobertsonMay 23, 2015The vegetarian tasting menu was ver fulfilling and filled with unique flavors
NearSay NYCJuly 25, 2011Highly sophisticated and inventive Japanese food, Brushstroke offers two exquisite tasting menus to choose from. Notable dish: Lobster-rice.
Brushstroke has a brand new sushi bar in addition to the kaiseke menu
Halstead PropertyNovember 21, 2011Useful to know that in the dining room and sushi bar area, only the Tasting menu is available, you can not order a la carte.
Deniz OzdagOctober 21, 2012A kaiseki restaurant with extraordinary menus. Prices are very high but definitely worths that.
AVESHEKSeptember 24, 2011How can anyone not mention the "Chawan Mushi" in truffle broth?!! It is the best in the world!

Marc CohenFebruary 16, 2017Guessing based on service they had temp staff on vday. Food=great. Took an hour for drinks. Course order kept getting messed up. People walking out in frustration. 175/head expect better service.
- Premshree PillaiApril 28, 2013While certainly not making it easier on your wallet, the wine and sake pairing will enhance your dining experience manifold. Git it.
