About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Ukiyo (translated as "the Floating World" - living in the moment, detached from the bothers of life) is a culinary workshop and atelier connected by a tiny walkway to Michelin starred Jewel Bako Sushi, just next door.

Ukiyo presents a provocative menu of French cuisine at its base, with Japanese and global inflections. The menu focuses intently on seasonality and ingredients. The setting is an intimate bar of 18 counter seats, surrounding Chef Marco Prins and his team in an open kitchen.

We are debuting our new menu for the Summer - please join us!

    Restaurant closed, was not informed. In fact, even got a text on the day of the reservation asking me to confirm.

    This was a serendipitous trip to a restaurant around the corner from our hotel that turned out to be one of the best gastronomic experiences of all our many trips to NYC. So worthy, and delicious. Can not wait to go back!

    This place is a true gem! The food tastes like heaven and looks like art. The restaurant is a very intimate setting with front seats to watch the artists at work. We are lucky to have this on our doorstep ❤️

    A former #1 spot in nyc reduced to a great place, with amazing food, great service, great wine and great prices. A long time ago this same place was an insane tasting menu for $80. RIP.

    We had the 5 course tasting menu but with the 3 free course from chef we ended up feeling really full. Great food!

    Amazing gem in New York. The professionalism of the staff is hard to beat. You should go for the five course menu. The salmon would leave you begging for more. Chef is also throwing an all kinds of treats, like foie granola. And the desert is unlike I've had any time before. That place was empty but I would not count it being empty for too long.
