New York Japanese Cuisine: TOMO21 🍣

Let me recommend a Japanese restaurant that's all about great value for money. 🌟 🌸 The place isn't huge, but the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. They offer sashimi sets in regular and deluxe options. Personally, I don't think there's a huge difference, so the regular set is totally fine. The rice that comes with the set is customizable, and I'd go for the sushi rice—it's delicious. 🍙 🏙️ The hand rolls are packed with rice, which can be filling, but they also give you plenty of fish. The tempura is a standout here, and the waiter recommended the tempura udon and tempura banana dessert. 🍃 The udon was really good, but I couldn't really taste the banana in the dessert. Next time, I'll stick to the traditional matcha ice cream. 🍍 🎢 Overall, TOMO21 is a Japanese restaurant with really high value for money. There are quite a few similar small eateries around NYU. Another student favorite is Me Chicken Rice, which mainly serves Thai food with a focus on chicken. 🌊 Their Hainanese chicken rice is amazing—so flavorful and satisfying! The best part? It's only around $10, making it perfect for students on a budget. 🍗 #NYCFood #ManhattanEats #NYCGuide 🗽️🌟
