The only thing I can tell you is that we ordered 98% of the menu. Was it a lot of food? For five, it was JUST right. Service was spot on, sake choices weren't bad, and food was delicious. Paying for the meal literally cost me an arm and a leg but if I had to do it again, I would - I'll just have someone else pay.

We went for a dining experience they were holding to celebrate their second anniversary. AMAZING. The theme was no-waste, and to that end, they were using every part of the tuna. There was broth made from the skin and bones of the fish, and there were cuts from all different areas. We were not able to get a seat at the chef's bar, but that was the only regret of the night. Walking in, they kindly took my coat and provided me with a basket for my purse. The decor was minimalist but still warm and the space gave the impression of intimacy. The staff were incredibly attentive and explained each dish when it hit the table. For pairings, they had recommended different sake for each course, but I decided upon ordering one sake per grouping. They were delicious. One of the more memorable dishes was the Katsu Sando, but made with a very thick and juicy portion of tuna instead of pork. Coated in an airy crisp and sandwiched between two pieces of crust less white bread, the flavor was so good that I still can remember that first bite. I didn't want the event to end. Everything, from the staff to the dishes, made it an incredible night and I can't wait to see what they do for their third anniversary. Whatever it is they decide upon, I will definitely be there for it!

The Uni Ikura Chawanmushi, Kamo Soba, and Futo Maki were my favorites! Uni Ikura Chawanmushi is a great way to savor and enjoy the flavor of uni and fish eggs. Futo Maki had such fresh ingredients and fish!

I honestly don't understand why this place has such amazing ratings. It's very mid in my opinion, just extremely overpriced and underwhelming. I came her with my bf to celebrate our anniversary after seeing all of the 5 star reviews. We ordered an array of different dishes including some sushi/sashimi, donburi, maki rolls, and a steamed egg. Everything was okay and extremely small portions. We were stunned by the $36 donburi being just as big as the chawanmushi we got. There was nothing special in it, just uni, ikura and rice. The amount of uni was so small, I could barely taste it. For the maki rolls, the uni wagyu maki was completely overshadowed by the taste of the asparagus. I did enjoy the crunch and the flavor that it added but I felt that two pieces was way too much. Each time, I had to eat the uni separately to even taste it. The futo maki was quite an experience. Each piece was the size of a half dollar, huge! I did enjoy the roll but I think it was too much going on, especially with the slimy texture of the okra. I liked the sashimi but at $10 a piece, I would expect it to not to be stringy or so small. Overall, all of 6 items came out to be about $200. We were both so sad after we finished the meal and had to go and get more food afterwards. One major plus though was the service. The staff was very attentive and gave different plates and utensils for each dish we had. It was changed out frequently and our water was always refilled. This is a beautiful place but unfortunately, I don't think it's worth the price tag.

Service was exceptional and the food was good but overall, a bit disappointing. There are two dining options, omakase (counter seating) and a la carte (dining table). The chefs at the counter were responsible for serving both. This might seem minute but it feels odd/confusing seeing the chef prepare food that were not part of the omakase course. It interrupts the "omakase experience". Overall the food was good but the value wasn't there for the price point. There were only 9 nigiri sushi. Two courses were broth, fish bone and miso. It tastes good but nothing special. The futomaki felt like a glorified kimbap. For a 17 course omakase, it leaves much to be desired. Although omakase was a letdown, the a la carte menu might be worth a try.
Be the first to ReplyAuthentic, unique, yet casual Japanese dining experience.
Although they have an Omakasa tasting menu, we decided to order à la carte from a beautiful menu - both visually and culinarily. This is high-end Japanese done in a friendly, supportive atmosphere, with great service and a relaxed feel. You'll definitely feel right at home. Do what we did, and try a bunch of things from the menu. Everything was absolutely delicious, and very approachable. Five full stars.

Outstanding omakase! Sitting at the bar and watching the chefs in action, as they present a perfect fresh nigiri on your plate - so fun. Service was attentive and we enjoyed conversing with the chef; he even slipped us an extra fatty tuna after asking us which nigiri was our favorite. My spouse loves sushi, and having been to some great places in NYC, DC, and up and down the West Coast, Towa is his favorite. Yes, $150 per person was quite the splurge, though we've spend more on other omakases and they weren't as good.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing good and staff.
One of my favorite omakses in the city. $65 for lunch omakase is a deal
Be the first to ReplyIn my top 3 for best homestyle Japanese in NYC.
Feels super healthy while still yummy and all ingredients taste very high quality. Some of my fave dishes are the shabu shabu, clay pot rice, and any of their tempura. I came for the New Year's handmade soba and it was one of my fave lunch meals I have ever had!!
Be the first to ReplyOutstanding next level sushi.
Let the chef do his magic you will not be disappointed. Intimate and relaxing atmosphere. Checks all the right boxes.

I made reservations for my cousin's mini bachelorette and oh my, what an incredible omakase experience. We had a small party of 2 so it felt intimate even when sitting next to strangers at the bar. We sat back and trusted our chef for a delicious food journey! The chefs and staff were incredibly talented and attentive. There was a family with 2 kids seated next to us and the chef went out of his way to make sure they were enjoying their pieces and tailoring different recommendations for ones they were unsure of. I also enjoyed the sake tasting pairing. Highly recommend this place! Totally worth the price (if anything it's on the more affordable omakase pricing for what we got!)
Be the first to ReplyMy friend made a reservation at Towa and it was a great
My friend made a reservation at Towa and it was a great experience! Server was very attentive from start to finish. I personally thought the omakase menu was worth every penny. It was $120, but is now $150.We both got two drinks each, the Greenwich and Long Peach, and ended up really liking the cocktails. Love the Asian twists!The prix fixe menu was not limited to nigiri only, but had grilled/fried items and soups. Sashimi slices were fresh and melted in my mouth without any taste of fishiness. The variety definitely kept the meal interesting! Tangerine sorbet in the end acted as a refreshing palate cleaner.Overall, I highly recommend Towa. Everything tasted pretty solid. I appreciate the consistency from start to finish. My belly was super happy in the end!
Be the first to ReplyDelicious omakase with a lot of add-on options.
The price point is pretty great considering the quality of fish, the location, and the variety of bites.
Be the first to ReplyService was a bit awkward.
Although our reservation was for the a la carte menu in the dining room the hostess kept asking if we wanted to sit at the omakase bar since they didn't have enough reservations that night. Our waiter seemed new and a little nervous but he was trying really hard to call all the dishes by the Japanese name. It felt like the restaurant was in a soft opening state but it's been around for a year so it was confusing. We ordered...-Umami Tomato-- 1 star. This is a poached (?) and peeled tomato sitting in a jelly broth made of dashi and passion fruit. Warning, if you don't like passion fruit seeds do not order (high crunch). Also the flavor profile is more sour/fruity than umami.. would've been tastier as a dessert.-Truffle croquette -- 2 stars. Other review photos show really nice white truffle shavings but ours had limp and sad shavings of black truffle... so much so I did not take a photo. -Gindara Yuan (grilled black cod w yuzu soy sauce)-- 4 stars. Tasty but salty so will need to order a side of rice with it. The presentation doesn't look great. -Wagyu ishiyaki (DIY grilling)-- 3 star. Fun to do but the wagyu meat was sort of grey and did not look fresh. -Futomaki-- 3 stars. This thing was thicker than an arm LOL and was basically a sushi burrito cut into 4 pieces. Ate each piece in 3 bites which sort of takes away from all the ingredients inside bc you can't enjoy it at once. The menu was very long and diverse.. I feel like they'd be better off specializing in a few dishes instead.The inside looked like an older Japanese restaurant.. this might've been intentional.The idea of this place is cool and I wanted to like it but for the price point it disappointed. Having spent more than $200 for 2 people you'd expect better ambience, service or food but everything was subpar.
Be the first to ReplyThis was a new restaurant when we came, we opted for normal
This was a new restaurant when we came, we opted for normal dining vs the omakase experience.The drinks we ordered were solid, it wasn't all juice like some other places. For appetizers, we ordered the tomato and croquet. The tomato was very surprisingly refreshing but is a bit pricey. The Sukiyaki was the main reason why we came in, it was decent! I've had better sukiyaki around the city.I'd recommend this spot since there is potential and there is an omakase experience that I want to try at some point!
Be the first to ReplyGreat restaurant and excellent service.
All the dishes we tried were fantastic. We didn't try the omakase, a la carte was sumptuous! Great experience ! The staff are very attentive, ingredients are very fresh and high quality.
Be the first to ReplySome things were an absolute hit, others were an absolute
Some things were an absolute hit, others were an absolute miss. Had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated which was a bit too long for our liking, but the service was great and they made up for it by comping tea and dessert. -Ika Shumai (3/5): good but not my favorite. there were a bit too many textures within the shumai and the skin was a bit dry by the time it got to us. -Wagyu Tataki (5/5): one of my favorites for the night. the wagyu was so tender and melted in mouth and the truffle butter that came with it was to DIE for. would come back for this, melt in your mouth drool worthy combo of flavors -Miso Cod (5/5): so so soft, one of the best cods I have ever had. Literally melts in your mouth and falls apart instantly. Only complaint is that I don't know how well the yuzu paired with it. -Nigiri set (3/5): OK. fish was not extremely extremely as fresh as I would have liked, and not the most soft either -Uni Wagyu Maki (2.5/5): a bit disappointing. the asparagus did NOT pair well with the wagyu and uni AT ALL and the addition of the perilla leaf in the maki made the whole maki taste quite strange and not the most appetizing. We ended up removing the asparagus and perilla leaf to fully enjoy the wagyu and uni (uni was not the most fresh though)-Truffle Donabe (3/5): OK. also a bit disappointing. loved the mushrooms and the burnt rice but the dish was a bit too dry (rice could have had a bit more moisture) and the rice could have been more flavorful too-Hojicha Panna Cotta (1000/5); TO DIE FOR. literally not too sweet, such a heavenly roasted tea flavor, an extremely smooth and refreshing texture. I will dream about this -Teas (5/5): got the matcha yuzu and soba tea. loveddd the soba tea
Be the first to ReplyWe came here first time last Aug and came back this Feb.
The place looked cozy and the service was attentive. Instead of the omakase, we ordered several dishes on the menu:-Ginadara Yuan (grilled black cod): the fish was tender and well-seasoned- Wagyu Ishiyaki (grilled steak): you grilled the thin-sliced wagyu beef on the hot stone. It smelled so good and melted in your mouth. It came with different sauce and dipping. One of my fav here! - Yaki Gani: It was nice to see that they doubled the portion this Feb in comparison with our visit last Aug. the crab was well cooked and smoky, and the creamy crab miso sauce was just chef kiss!! Another fav fish!- Nigiri set: the fish was fresh but not too special.- Asari and sansai donabe (cooked rice pot with manila clams and veggie): the rice pot was huge and hot. The server would mix and get the rice for you. The rice was well-seasoned. While the other grilled dishes were somewhat small-portioned, this rice dish would def make you full.Overall, the price was a bit steep for the portion (except for the dish) but I still think it's worth it. I would highly recommend!
Be the first to ReplyWould recommend this place for the comfort food, but not so
Would recommend this place for the comfort food, but not so much for the sushi.The uni egg custard has great umami flavors, but was a tad too watery for my taste. The grilled eggplant was really good, and the spongy texture also made it kind of fun to eat.The Toro shoyu was my fav of the night - highly recommend! The grilled and marinated fatty tuna was incredibly tender, and the overall taste profile was not heavy-handed but just right. The grilled black cod was also very tender and flavorful. They definitely do their grilled fish very well.The Uni Wagyu Maki was decent, but not as good as I'd expected. The asparagus was a weird element and just didn't work in this roll. We also ordered several pieces of nigiri, of which I was not impressed. While the unagi itself was good, the rice bed fell apart... An indictment of the itamae's artisanal skills. IYKYK.
Be the first to Reply5 stars for the hospitality.
My friends & I really had a great omakase experience. I showed up a few minutes early and was accommodated right away even though my friend wasn't there yet. Highly recommended and please make a reservation because it gets crowded pretty quickly. I also tried out the seasonal sake flight - pretty tasty! $69 for omakase is not bad at all. We both were content and full. Loved the miso soup and tea that weee served after.

Amazing dinner! A lil different from traditional omakase, they had lil trio of appetizers and soba with uni along with a lil mushroom soup & kimbap roll. Everything is so fresh and delicious with warm friendly service!
Be the first to ReplyExcellent value for the lunch portions.
$65 for omakase. $32 for chicken. I was worried it would not be filling, but the side dishes of tofu/mushroom, veggies, and miso soup were more than filling. The miso soup was my favorite.The chicken/rice was quite delicious and the rice was perfectly cooked with sauce. Omakase were small slices, but filling enough.Great service. Clean venue. Clean bathrooms. Good cocktails.
Be the first to ReplyHidden gem that deserves more attention.
The omakase was amazing and we loved almost everything. Some of my personal favs were the duck breast, tempura (matcha sea salt was very good), medium fatty tuna, uni, eel, blackthroat sea perch. Would come back again.
Be the first to ReplyBest deal in good quality sushi in Manhattan.
Hurry up and check it out soon as prices will start to increase, and more than once. Chef Masaya, formerly of Sushi Azabu, is now free to do his own flair to his nigiri served and what a difference. Delicious. He is a good person serving very good sushi. Even at much higher prices it is worth it. Azabu? Not so much. Now? Definitely. The omakase splits the nigiri portions up with other small dishes in the middle of the dinner. An unusual choice. Sushi counter is in the front of the house so you get a lot of the traffic of people coming and going to and from the sit down restaurant area. A poor choice for sure. Besides all the noisy stuff going on around you, this place is a hit. Go there now.

The food presentation is so beautiful and all details they do are so great. Food and service are all in high end level but in a good reasonable price. Love this place.
