Greenwich Village
100 University Place
Naomi and I were eager to grab some sushi the other night and I was in charge of finding a place. I went through the Zagat guide that John and Nina gave to me for my birthday and found a bunch of promising places close to home. Aki and Tomoe look really good and are close by but they are both described as small with a potentially long wait. We were getting a late start on the evening so we decided to go for Japonica because it appeared to be almost as highly rated without the potential wait. We were seated immediately. Staff were friendly and helpful (they were honest about the hotate not being fresh). Naomi ordered oshinko to start. One of the picked vegetables was super salty - all were very tasty. We ordered some maki and mostly nigiri. The rolls were about $6-7 and the nigiri was about $5 a piece. That sounds steep but you get huge pieces, easily twice the size at a cheap sushi place and the quality was outstanding. Yes, we dropped about $90 between the two of us but it was worth it. I'd definitely go back.
