About tachi

Tachi is a 12-seat sushi counter inspired by Tokyo’s standing sushi bars and grounded in the traditions of Edomae sushi. The menu features thoughtfully curated nigiri sets alongside hand rolls offered à la carte, with to-go options available for those who want the same quality beyond the counter.

Intimate, understated, and refined.

Tachi aims to make omakase both approachable and memorable, offering a dining experience that respects tradition while welcoming a wider audience to enjoy it.

About our chef, victor chen

Originally from China and raised in Brooklyn, Victor Chen’s passion for sushi began at New York Sushi Ko, where he was first introduced to the Edomae tradition. Over the past 15 years, he has worked in both intimate counters and large international hospitality groups, gaining a breadth of experience that shaped his approach to the craft.

As Head Chef of Kintsugi, Victor spent five years guiding the restaurant through a post-pandemic transformation. At Nama in the Aman New York, he further refined his style and storytelling through sushi.

With the opening of Tachi, Victor presents his vision of sushi: deeply rooted in Edomae tradition yet shaped by his own path, culture, and philosophy.
