Natsumi Breaks New Ground with Innovative Modern Japanese Cuisine. Barbara Matsumura founder of Haru Restaurants, has teamed up again with Chef Haru Konagaya to create this strikingly original destination. Two separate experiences in two adjacent sites, an elegant restaurant and a trendy Tokyo-chic bar/lounge. Natsumi specializes in modern Japanese cuisine with a touch of Italian ingredients; offering an array of creative dishes such as, sashimi arugula salad, new style yellowtail carpaccio, and lobster green tea ravioli. The innovative menu relies on unique preparations with dynamic flavors. The wine list is international, with white, red, sparkling wines, and champagne by the glass and bottle. The restaurant is divided into distinct dining areas, a cozy space with intimate booths, a sushi bar where diners can watch the chefs compose, and in the front, the windows open to the street. The whole room is infused with a warm golden glow and earth tones. We only seat compete parties.

    I LOVE NATSUMI!!!!!!! The food there was sooo good and it is so gorgeous inside the restaurant! They have great presentation with their food. Not only that, but it is a great location with it being across the street from a broadway theater and being just a block way from Times Square! When you taste the food, you never want to go away. It is so fresh and seasoned well with great sauces!

    We ordered the pre theater menu which was wonderful and a really great price. Our server asked what curtain time was for our show and said she’d make sure we had enough time to got there. The omakase which we both ordered as our main course was amazing.

    This was our second dinner at Natsumi. It is becoming our "go-to" restaurant before a Broadway show. We especially like the fish tacos, the miso cod and the edamame dumplings!

    This was our 2nd visit to Natsumi. The food is good, freshly prepared & reasonably priced. The location is convenient to Times Sq, theater district, Radio City Music Hall and mid-town. We would return to Natsumi on a future visit to NYC. We would like to sample more of the menu.

    When you go order their speciality which is Sushi or Sashimi, which our guest said was the best they ever had in years. Since I'm not a raw fish person I ordered Calamari that had an interest sauce but it didn't taste authentic squid. I suspect was another product to look like squid rings. The duck breast was delivered ice cold. It was asked to served hot to which it was probably thrown in a microwave oven. It caused the duck breast to dry out & toughen. The reduction was one of the worse sauces I've tasted in a long time as if it were cooked by a 9 year old with a glue gun. They should just stick to raw fish or tempura and leave European sauces to those who can do it properly. Our server was absolutely fabulous and was charming. I was very happy for the guest who thoroughly enjoyed their raw fish immensely and highly recommend this restaurant for that reason alone.

    I have been eating here for years and its great sushi for the price in Manhattan. I prefer to sit on the bar side as its usually not a busy and a bit quieter. Plus the bartender is great.

    Went to Natsumi before a show and had a wonderful experience. The service was very friendly and efficient; didn’t feel rushed but didn’t have to wait very long in between courses/for the check. We ordered appetizers and dessert and still spent less than $100 for 2 adults, a rare find in the city! The quality of the fish wasn’t as high as I would have liked (I didn’t think the tuna roll was very fresh, a bit fishy) but the crunchy spicy salmon roll was delicious. Definitely get the vegetable spring rolls. Would definitely come again!

    Pre-Pandemic, this was my favorite sushi lunch place. Glad to say after three years, they re-opened up for lunch & it's still the same high quality, fresh & delicious sushi for reasonable prices. (Recommend Maki Combo Lunch (2 rolls, soup/salad) for only $17!) Thank you for keeping your standards high and delivering great food and service.

    Delicious food - we all had a great Miso soup, followed by various sushi dishes and a beef teriyaki. Everything was truly delicious, so we also had deserts - we tried the Litchi sorbet, green tee ice cream and a chocolate mousse cake. All three were simply amazing. We had a great time together as a family and could recommend this restaurant for a truly lovely family dinner.
