Tuome

Tuome is a Michelin Star restaurant offering contemporary American cuisine with Asian influences from Chef Thomas Chen. A first generation Chinese-American, Thomas was born and raised in New York and began his career as an accountant. After four unfulfilling years, Thomas decided to follow his passion for cooking. He spent several years working his way up the ranks at Eleven Madison Park, the lauded fine dining institution, before opening his first restaurant Tuome in 2014 in NYC's East Village neighborhood.

At Tuome, Thomas offers an ingredient-driven contemporary American menu that showcases his classic culinary training and Asian influences from his heritage. The restaurant has continued to receive praise from guests and media alike including a glowing 2-star review from The New York Times, a 4-star review from Eater, and has held a Michelin Star for the last five years.
