Frequently Asked Questions 

Can you accommodate guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?

Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to accommodate certain dietary restrictions and allergies including but not limited to: vegetarian/vegan diets, gluten-free diets, shellfish & fish allergies, allium allergies, dairy & egg allergies, and nuts & soy allergies. If you have any specific questions regarding allergies or food restrictions, please send us an e-mail at info@tsukimi.nyc before making a reservation. Noting your allergies or food restrictions in your Tock profile or in an e-mail without a confirmation of receipt from our team does not guarantee that we are able to make changes to our courses to accommodate your allergy or food restriction.

Can you accommodate aversions to certain foods?

Since our tasting course is prepared in advance and the menu is set for all guests, we are unable to substitute dishes at this time. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at info@tsukimi.nyc if you have questions regarding our menu. If you note food aversions in your Tock profile or in an e-mail without a confirmation of receipt from our team, that does not guarantee that we are able to make changes to our courses to accommodate the food aversion.

What happens if I am running late for my reservation?

Dinner at Tsukimi is a communal experience and will begin at the same time for all guests for that seating. Arriving late may result in missed courses and part of your experience with us.

Can I cancel or reschedule a reservation that I have purchased?

While purchased experiences are non-refundable, they are transferable. In the event you are unable to join us on the date and time of your reservation, you may transfer or gift your reservation through your user profile on Tock. You may also request to reschedule with at least 72 hours notice to a date and time currently open for reservations by e-mailing us at info@tsukimi.nyc. After 72 hours, any cancellations or reductions in party size will be charged the full price per person to the card on file. While we understand that unexpected circumstances may arise, we are unable to offer refunds at this time including situations related to COVID, travel restrictions, and weather.

Do you charge for reservations in advance?

All reservations are prepaid and charged at the time the reservation is made. All sales are final and non-refundable. You will receive a check for any additional purchases made while at the restaurant during the meal.

Do you accept walk ins?

Tsukimi is reservation only.

Can I bring children?

Children age 10 and older are welcome at Tsukimi, although we do not have a children’s menu available and require all younger guests to have the same menu as the adults. While some younger diners are able to enjoy the menu fully, the average duration of the meal and the amount of food may not be for most children. Because of the small, intimate nature of our space, we do not allow infants or children younger than 10.

What is your corkage fee?

We welcome guests to bring up to two 720/750mL bottles (or one magnum) per reservation of wine or sake. Our corkage fee is $85 per 720/750mL bottle (or $170 for a magnum). We do not allow spirits, only wine or sake.

Do you accommodate larger groups?

At this time, the largest group we can accommodate is 4 people due to the nature of our operation and layout of the restaurant. Our dining room is small and intimate, with only 2 counters that face each other, so we limit the maximum number per party in order to maintain the ambiance and comfort level for all of our guests during the seating as dinner is a communal experience.

What is the dress code?

Although there is no official dress code, we encourage guests to dress up for the experience. We do ask our guests to kindly refrain from coming in shorts, t-shirts, athletic wear or sweatpants.

How far in advance can I book a reservation?

We open our books for the following month on the 1st day of the current month at midnight (i.e. on March 1st, reservations will be made available for the month of April). If your desired date is unavailable, we encourage you to join our waitlist via Tock.

How long will my experience at Tsukimi last?

Please set aside at least 2.5 hours for dinner.

How do I transfer my reservation?

To transfer a reservation, log in to your account and then select, “My Reservations”. Each reservation has a transfer button next to it. In order for the transfer to complete, the guest receiving the transfer is required to take action. Otherwise, the transfer will not complete.

Why do you use pre-paid reservations instead of regular reservations?

At Tsukimi, we want to create an intimate environment for our guests. Pre-paid reservations allow us to anticipate who is coming in and to give guests an all-encompassing experience at the best price possible.

Why is a service charge added?

Service is an integral part of your meal and, since you will not receive a bill for your meal during the dining experience, we are adding an 20% service charge at the time of purchase. Gratuity is not automatically added on any additional food and beverage consumed on site during the course of your meal.

What safety measures are in place to combat COVID-19?

Tsukimi has installed MERV-13 filters to keep our dining room safe. Thorough sanitization of our dining area is frequently completed before, during, and after service.
