Tomo21 Sushi

Tomo21 Sushi - Review - Greenwich Village - New York - The Infatuation

"Most restaurants eventually reach a point where continuing on isn’t an option, and then that’s it. They’re done. But a few manage to find a second life, and that’s what happened to Tomoe Sushi, which closed in 2021 after almost 40 years in business only to be resurrected months later as Tomo21 Sushi. The menu hasn’t changed, the fish is still high quality, and you’ll walk out feeling like you somehow underpaid for the amount of sushi you got. photo credit: Kate Previte You will, justifiably, be focused on things like anago, hamachi, and shima aji, but don't dismiss the appetizers. We especially like the ankimo served cold in a ponzu sauce and the baked king crab with spicy mayo. (We’d come here just for the crab.) The best value is still the sushi deluxe, which comes with 10 pieces of nigiri and a roll for $43. Tomoe was known for their signature long-and-thick portions of fish, and thankfully that hasn’t changed—so each piece feels like a two-for-one deal. Just like Gouie on the Lower East Side, Tomo21 is perfect for when you’re in the mood for something nicer than your go-to Seamless sushi spot but less expensive than an omakase that costs more than what you pay for a year of Netflix." - Kenny Yang
