Sushi in NYC...sooooo good! - I Can Has Cook?

After a day of getting lost on the subway and listening to CMJ gigs at Pianos on Ludlow Street off Houston, one finds oneself wanting a good sushi.

Our friend Elanor had a place in mind which she had found by googling ‘good new york sushi’ Off we hopped in cab with another pal Dan to find Tomoe Sushi 172 Thomspon Street near the West Village in Manhattan.

Tomoe’s decor tells us that they are more interested in the food rather than pretentious water features and dim lighting. It’s a no frills place when it comes to the room but wow, how they make up for any shortcomings with the amazing sushi.

We had a few edamame beans to munch on while waiting for our order.

We also supped on some miso soup to get the belly ready for the sushi. And we had a few delicious pork dumplings to whet the appetite. So good.

We shared a plate of sashimi, all of which tasted so light and delicious, and reallllly fresh.

We had a few different sushi pieces to share like the yellow tail and the tuna and avocado and a few other bits and pieces. Totally yum.

It was a little pricey, I suppose, as the whole lot came to $80. But I think for what we had it was totally worth it. And the locals know this too, as there was a queue forming outside the restaurant for a table as we were leaving. Always a good sign.

Here’s another view of that sushi…yum!
