Yes, you might have to wait. Yes, there is usually a line and they don't want diners dilly-dallying after they finish. And yes, that slab of fish on your plate the size of your fist will melt like butter in your mouth. It simply cannot get better than this. At Tomoe, the fish is center stage. No "Super Crazy Volcano Dragon Roll!". Just huge slabs of the freshest, tastiest, and most generously portioned fish you'll find in NYC (and maybe the entire country). The price tag may be a little high, but you won't leave hungry...just extremely satisfied.

Yes the wait is long...it's worth it. This is quite simply home to 3 of my top 5 sushi experiences of all time. When it's an off night it's still "very good to great" when it's on it is sublime. It can get expensive, so rather than a la carte just get the sashimi deluxe. It's an amazing value.

I just don't know what all the fuss is about. How does Zagats give this a 25 for food? You have to wait on line outside and it smells bad from the get go. All the food just wasn't good, the pieces were way too big and hard to get down. Value? Where is the value when the food is so bad you can't even finish it? It was $160 for two, I didn't even finish all of my peices and i had to go down the street to Ben's for a slice of pizza!

I agree with Anna's review below. I waited more than one hour and I was disappointed that I waited so long for the experience I had. First of all, it does not look clean everywhere including the wooden plate they use. Second, how they sliced fish is big but not the right way. I was born and raised in Japan, I went to the best fish market in the world called Tsukiji in Tokyo and ate best sushi there. My father took me to the sushi bar when I was 4 and since then, he had taught me how to order and eat sushi. That was my childhood. I know I am very difficult but I do not approve this place. Try other places, there are better places you can go in NYC.

Worth the wait. The best value and the best quality fish for the money in the city. No wonder there's a line.

OMIGOD the fish was soo fresh. I had the sashimi deluxe and it was this huuuge assortment of fish. Delicious. Everything here is delicious! Would go again.

The sushi was not good. The service was atrocious! The waitress came over to us and told us that we had to leave right now because people were waiting. Seriously? Avoid this place.
