Tomoe Sushi

About this business

This tiny, local restaurant in Soho has a strong following of devoted sushi-lovers from the neighborhood. The decor is simple, but the freshness and selection of fish is what keeps diners coming back. For non-sushi lovers, there are some good dumplings and cold noodle dishes. Reasonable prices and good service make this one of the most affordable sushi restaurants in this expensive neighborhood.

people talk of other spots – This is one spot my group couldn't get in as it was so so crowded, so we came back another day & early - fit 6 of us. But we were disappointed - 'monster sushi' didn't appeal to us & quality was not consistent from the tuna to the salmon to the yellowtail - spicy scallop roll just OK. Glad we didn't wait on line. Funny tho to hear others talking where they have been & we heard Blue Ribbon Sushi (recommend but pricey & long waits also), Raku (recommend in theater district) & Sushi of Gari (UES but... read more

1 of 2 favorites in the city – this would deserve a 10 if you can forgive the long long wait (45min way too long unless you're on a nice date or with friends), cramp seating, lack of ambiance & so so service, then you can enjoy the best sushi downtown (yama is passe & inconsistent). the other place I favor is raku at 47th st./bwy. sushi is so fresh & comparable. SUM IT: This is my regular spot when I'm in the village, so do try to get there early if you hate waiting like I do.

seriously over-rated – used to be one of my favorites. tomoe is now california-style over-sized sushi hacked with no skill and not nearly as fresh-tasting as in the past. you've got better things to do than wait in a 2 hour line to pay $50 a head for sushi that rates only average.

Don't let the portions fool you... – I was a bit intimidated by the price of the sushi rolls as I looked around the dining room and noticed how small the rolls looked...but looks are deceiving. They really know how to serve it up. I would recommend this place to those looking for fresh and inventive plate of sushi.

Best Sushi In NYC – Here's a big tip for this small place: Go 10 minutes before 5pm when they open... No Wait! What can you say? Decent price, top grade fresh fish, casual atmosphere, and a very impressive selection of sake. I liked it better than Yama and Blue Ribbon.

Great sushi, long wait – Tomoe has great sushi one of the best places in the city but the wait sucks. For those of you that love the sushi but cant take the lines try Hamachi. Not so hyped but the sushi there is just as good if not better.

TOP 5 IN BIG APPLE !!!!! – Teetering above SOHO this strictly sushi house is a cut above the deep sea of Japanese Cuisine in New York City. Here's how it rates, and when visiting, order the famous Soft shell crab dish! 1. Blue Ribbon Sushi (SOHO) 2. Sugiyama (Clinton) 3. Sachi (Museum Mile) 4. Tomoe (Village) 5. Next Door Nobu (TriBecA) Of course there are many other great Japanese restaurants in town, but these are the undisputed best.

unique – The long, outdoor wait to get in, the crammed seating... are worth putting up with at least once. The fish is very very fresh, and the pieces are huge. I do not find their fish to be the finest in the city, but that owes more to selection than freshness, as far as i can tell. The experience here is entirely different than at Yasuda, maybe like having a huge grilled burger versus a perfect filet mignon. The prices aren't super-low, but if you consider the portion size, the value is good. Tomoe makes for an excellent ... read more

awesome sushi – very fresh fish, very well done sushi. one of the best sushi places in the city. there is a long line to get in there but it's toally worth the wait. make sure you try the grilled hamachi collar / jaw, it's amazing. the sashimi and sushi is really, really fresh. the maki rolls are very good, too.
