"Absolutely phenomenal food - we loved every dish we had but favorites were the hamachi, halibut, and octopus. The dishes are creative and very nicely presented, though we felt like portions ran a bit small. The atmosphere is lovely, definitely fitting a Michelin star spot in the east village. Service was a bit up and down, and for a restaurant that doesn’t have liquor or cocktails, they really should have many more wine options by the glass. That said, I’d gladly return and have another wonderful meal at Tuome."

"Went for my father’s birthday dinner, and had a pleasant time. Initially was greeted by the host and sat fairly quickly. The menu was very appealing, and being very comfortable with sharing entrees, the menu makes for nice share plates. Definitely would recommend getting both appetizers and entrees, the portions are decent enough for one, maybe two at most. Interesting and unique wine list, mostly Eurocentric. The host was very considerate in explaining our wine choice in case we didn’t want it, especially since the one we chose was a very different flavor than most wines. My food recommendations would be the quail, it offers a unique different taste than chicken with a sauce that reminded me of Peking duck sauce. Also the octopus and the lamb were very delicious. The staff were professional and attentive, and for a Michelin-starred restaurant it had a personal and open feel to the atmosphere with a good value, in my opinion, for food and drink."

"It has its reason to get the star. Dishes were all carefully designed with layers of flavors. (Surprisingly, an appetizer on the restaurant week menu but not on the regular one was amazing.) 🍉✨💚Watermelon with ricotta was only on the restaurant week menu. But the taste has blown me away. It was refreshing with sweetness and the light sourness from Kalamansi. It was a dish with many ideas. Chicken liver was a classic dish. But the milk bun was toasted perfectly. 💛🥣Chicken with congee as the entree was delicious but a safe one. It tasted like an upgraded version of everything. It was my friend’s favorite. Snow crab noodles was a heavy one with thick and creamy sauce. Noodles were cooked at the right time and chewy, which was a plus. 🍫💖🖤Chocolate mousse with some cake crumbs, sesame, and toasted rice (I guess) was beautiful. Sweet but not too rich. Enough to mark the end of the dinner. Banana pudding was a classic, good but kinda too sweet."

"Went for summer restaurant week and it was a great deal ($60 for 3 courses) getting to try most of their regular menu items. My personal favorites are all their appetizers (especially devil eggs and chicken liver mousse) and snow crab noodle. Their main dishes are on the saltier side. The desserts however were a bit underwhelming compared to other dishes."

"Came here as a party of 2 in May of 2024. I love how dimly lit the restaurant was and it really enhanced my atmosphere at the bar. The Scallion Puffs are on the house and is definitely one of the best on the house starters that I ever had. The eggs and scallop appetizers were excellent teasers to our main dishes. Both were bite sized, packed a surprising amount of flavor, and left us wanting more. The mains are on the smaller size. I got the Lamb while my friend got the Snow Crab. Both were like enlarged appetizers. Each were extremely tasty but still left us wanting a bit more. The Beignets were a cute, pleasant finisher. Overall, the experience and dishes were spectacular. Big eaters will be asking for larger portions, but I will definitely come back for the special occasion."
