Chef : Kyoshi Chikano
1 Michelin Star (New York, United States)
In the heart of Midtown Manhattan, Tempura Matsui offers a rare, refined immersion into the traditional art of Japanese tempura. Michelin-starred and quietly elegant, this intimate counter delivers a focused experience built on precision, seasonality, and deep respect for Japanese culinary rituals.
Each piece is prepared à la minute by the chef, directly in front of the diners, with a level of care that borders on the ceremonial. The result: perfectly crisp, feather-light tempuras that highlight the essence of each ingredient — from delicate vegetables to premium seafood and fish.
Tempura Matsui is a serene, singular destination where simplicity meets mastery, and where Japanese refinement reveals itself one bite at a time.
