About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Romantic

We serve only two types of Omakase courses starting with appetizer, 9 Kushiage, breaded and fried skewers, and 3 more courses of unique dishes being followed by dessert and Japanese tea. It takes up to about 2 hours and the prices for the Omakase are 180 or 120 dollars per person, not including beverages, tax and gratuity. There’s an option of drink pairing which consists of 6 glasses of many kinds.

Some substitutions may be available upon request but unfortunately, we cannot accommodate with sole vegetarian or gluten-free manner.

Chef Chikara Yamada brings a new wave of Japanese cuisine to New Yorkers, featuring Kushiage, fried skewers of fish, meat and vegetables, and other inventive Japanese dishes with Chef Yamada’s signature European flair, served in an Omakase style.

PLEASE NOTE; Cancellations made within 48 hours of your reservation are subject to the cancellation fee of 180 dollars per person.

By far, this has been one of the best restaurants I have been to globally. The service was impeccable (Tomo is super awesome), the food was completely awesome, and best of all the atmosphere was approachable. If you’re looking for an add-on to your typical omakase experience, visit Yamada Chikara. I shall return for what I expect to be another great dining experience overall!

Had a great dining experience at this restaurant. Everything was done in perfection and the attention to detail was unsurpassed. The set menu was very well planned out and executed and the fried courses did not feel heavy at all. The chef took care to introduce every dish and was very informative. It was a rainy night so we did not get to go to the backyard to enjoy the dessert courses so hopefully next time as I will definitely go back.
