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.

    Great dinner, great service. Not the fanciest place in town; tables are a bit small for for multiple sushi platters if more than 2 people are eating, but the servers were great at clearing empty plates to make more room. Will definitely be back

    We’ve been to Natsumi several times and the food and service are consistently very good. The bento boxes are our “go to” but the sushi is also great. While it is a small restaurant, they know how to serve quickly without rushing so a good pre-theater choice.

    We were in town from Atlanta, and chose Nataumi for its location to the Gershwin, as we were seeing Wicked. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were glad that we chose this quaint establishment.

    Food was great and came out quickly. We ordered the wolf hall roll and spicy tuna, plus apps (edamame, veggie tempura and chicken and shrimp dumplings- dumplings were excellent!) The lycheetinis were soooo good!! Staff was friendly and very attentive. Would definitely recommend Natsumi for a date night, pre-show dinner, or just because. The prices were reasonable too.

    Terrific food at very moderate prices, especially the three course pre-theater menu, all served in a non-hurried, friendly and professional manner. We went between matinee and evening g shows and they let us stay and schmooze without hurrying us along. A winner!!!

    Natsumi was recommended on a number of sites for a good place to have dinner prior to a show at The Gershwin Theatre. I can attest that those recommendations were 100% accurate. We are fortunate to have very good Japanese food where we live and our standards are high. Natsumi met and exceeded all expectations- food, beverage, service and ambiance. I would highly recommend a visit to Natsumi.

    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.

    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.
