//The line

The Infatuation's Lower East Side guide notes Taikun Sushi 'has only eight seats, so you have slightly better odds of booking just one instead of two' — meaning reservation scarcity, not a walk-up line, is the real barrier.

The guide describes a 13-course omakase for $85 per person, with reservations bookable through Resy, and highlights the intimate counter format where strangers often end up chatting, per The Infatuation.
