I was introduced by a friend so I visited Mifune with a high expectation. The food was just fair. They were trying to mix the sense of Japanese and French but neither the taste nor the texture surprised me. I tried the tasting menu. The top two dishes were scallops and chawanmushi. The must-avoid dish was the pineapple sorbet, which tasted like a pair of 7-day sweated socks. I don't remember our waiter's name but he's nice and kind.

Mifune is and always well be one of the best, if not the best, restaurants in NYC. to me, it is the best value you can get. Chef Tomo uses the best ingredients and applies a lot of forward thinking and detail to each dish. You will be in for a very delightful culinary adventure when you go to Mifune, I have had the tasting menu from each season as well as their recent Tomo Tuesday (spoiler alert: it was amazing) and they never fail to disappoint. Chef Tomo, his staff, and the Mifune menu is very thoughtful to all its patron and it is evident that everytime I dine there that there is a level of excellence that they hold themselves to. Do not wait, go to Mifune!

Very good value and very satisfying, definitely I'll be back! It was my first visit to Tomo's kitchen (Omakase Course) on Tuesday. Each dish is prepared with luxury ingredients such as mutin, wagyu, and sea bream... and the chef cooks, serves, and explains about each dish at the counter in front of you! Not only was each dish an amazing taste, but the portions were large, and there were some kinds of entertainments during the serving, allowing us to enjoy both the dish and the atmosphere!

I always enjoy their presentation, service and of course good food. This was my birthday and we tried Tomo’s kitchen. All the dishes were amazing. It’s carefully prepared and I can tell Chef Tomo really enjoys cooking and serving in front of us, which makes us feel welcome in a great atmosphere. i love this French Japanese fusion style cuisine. It’s definitely worth it. They currently started a la carte menu. I will come back this place again.

This is a hidden gem. What an amazing experience we had at MIFUNE! The omakase, our minds were blown with every plate that was brought out. The servers were knowledgeable and explained everything in detail and also very attentive. The food and service was incredible! It also felt very worth the cost. Will definitely come back! MIFUNE is on top of my list, A+ without a doubt.

I really love how Tomo san explores his tasting menu in depth with creativity without limiting himself. The menu had full of seasonality and originality. It wasn’t just Japanese French, it was “Tomo-san’s dish”, which makes people smile. The environment was nice and quiet, only with great people and the distance from the chef was perfect, making the conversation enjoyable. Will definitely come back again.

This place keeps changing its style and menu. Now it calls itself a Japanese-French restaurant. The latest iteration features expensive, tiny portions of mostly grilled meat and fish dishes. Lots of expensive wagyu cuts, no sushi, but some sashimi and chirashi dishes. Although we explicitly said we wanted the dishes to be served as appetizer and then entree, the kitchen never got the message so everything arrived at the same time and could not fit on our table so we sent the entrees back to be served later. Really unprofessional service. There’s also a $165 tasting menu, but given our experience with the a la carte menu my guess is that anyone ordering it will go home hungry.

The food was very elegant and delicate on the palate, though not always impeccable. (One of the dishes slightly burnt my tongue, I must say.) Service is polite and attentive without being overbearing. I was happy, but not very impressed.

We have been going to Mifune since the day it opened. We have enjoyed every meal and have never have anything to complain about. The food is prepared with care and confidence. The service is the best. Attentive but not intrusive. We highly recommend Mifune. However it is a jewel that must remain untarnished.

Absolutely excellent food and service. We were in NYC during Restaurant Week and ordered from Mifune's three course menu. My wife and I intentionally ordered different items so we could taste a wide variety. The taste, textures, and presentation on all plates were superb. This is a great restaurant for anyone seeking upscale Japanese food in a quiet setting.

It’s definitely not worth for restaurant week, I’ve been here for a few times, even order their popular dishes which include uni, foie gras , wagyu beef it will only take a bit over 100 per person, but with restaurant week menu, no fancy ingredients plus almost everything asked to pay extra, it turned out still over 100 pp but with less better quality of food.

I was with my friend for a restaurant week dinner. The experience was amazing! Everything cooked right and the three course meal was a real value! As well as the taste, I saw a lot of high skilled cooking techniques. So far, among restaurant week dinners, only one place that can compete with The Modern Bar room.

The fish and the appetizer are really good. And I am amazed by the quality of the uni. Though the pork chop definitely need some love to make it better. Skirt steak is good too, though I find it hard to connect with other dishes.

I was so excited when I reserved the Summer Restaurant Week table, and that was the third time I tried to book a table and finally successful. However, the whole experience turned from bad to worst when we were actually at the restaurant. It was a very hot day, the AC was broken down, the fan on the high ceiling was doing nothing to get rid of the heat. The neighbor next to us was talking extremely loud and nonstop, later when more people arrived, the whole dining room turned to a loud sound talking competition, we frowned and no one cared. The French music was already sank to the crazy noise. And the food came, not French nor Japanese, the taste was merely OK, presentation was so-so, the three course pre-fixe menu didn't include dessert, so we spent extra $18 for two scoops of ice cream with some "black truffle". This year the Restaurant Week dinner costs $60/person plus drinks plus dessert plus tax plus tips, two people spent almost $200 for a very unpleasant dinner. What a waste! That was the worst dining experience ever for me as a foodie! Very disappointed and not recommended, just cannot understand why it was popular and hard to get a table. Must check reviews carefully in the future, and I hope I can help other diners.
