Profile

This pricey and very busy sushi mecca has long been considered one of the best in town. Service is brusque and hurried—Tomoe wants to turn tables fast—and your best bet is ordering a la carte. The Negi-Toro hand rolls virtually explode with freshness, as though the tuna were hurled through the air from the Fulton Fish Market straight onto your table. Like all the most highly regarded sushi joints in town Tomoe is determined to get the freshest possible fish onto its clients’ needy palates.

Recommended Dishes

Sushi deluxe (assorted ten-piece of sushi and one roll), $31.50; sashimi deluxe, $36
