Initial impressions were strong: the ambiance was nice, the website was polished, and the visual presentation of the food was aesthetic, aligning with the high Google reviews. However, where it truly counts—the quality of the food—the experience was a letdown. I had high expectations that were quickly deflated by the mediocre dishes. The sashimi was fishy, the rice tasted stale, and the flavors were simply average. For all its curb appeal, the food quality felt like an unamusing, low-tier sushi restaurant. Kudos to the excellent service and dessert, but the main courses need significant improvement.
We love and lived in Japan for 10yrs. So for our Last Supper in NYC during this trip and we wanted something special. Towa was fantastic! Omakase was a great choice and the rest from the cocktails to the appetizers to the other mains were on point. The Karaage was one of the best we’ve ever had, Top 3 for sure. Towa truly lives up to the Japanese standard and Gochisosama Deshita! Can’t recommend this place enough.
Had such a great experience at Towa Sushi. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and the service was incredibly friendly from start to finish. The whole atmosphere feels fun, cute, and elevated at the same time — almost like a cozy fine dining experience.
The presentation of every dish was absolutely beautiful, and you can tell a lot of care goes into everything. Yoko, the sushi chef, was amazing — always smiling, clearly passionate about her craft, and such a special part of the experience.
The wine selection was also excellent. I had the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, and my boyfriend had the Chardonnay, which was super buttery and delicious.
Our favorite dishes were the eel and scallops, and the miso soup was so comforting and satisfying. Definitely one of those places that feels both high quality and genuinely warm. Can’t wait to come back.
It has been one of most japanese restaurants as per my limited experience. Starting from the low visible sign and entrance, it gives the humble feeling in first place. The decoration inside and even the height of the tables were designed to give the feeling of being in Japan. The set menus are the good choices to taste almost all dishes but in much smaller portions of course. We picked two sets for 2 adults and 1 kid and added 1 edamame, 1 hot soba and that was more than enough at the end of the dinner. The plates were more than good but one pinh less than the wowww. One thing that did not fit into our setup was the availability of wasabi in the sushis so you don’t have any option not to add wasabi. Prices are reasonable. One last recommendation should be that the staff could tell a bit more about the food since most of them can be unfamiliar with the people who don’t know so much about Japanese cuisine. Enjoy!
