A new Japanese restaurant has opened its doors in the neighborhood. Called Omomo, the newcomer is located at 11 W. 36th St. in Midtown.
Opened by the team behind Fat Buddha in the East Village, this new spot specializes in both traditional sushi offerings, like nigiri and rolls, as well as robatayaki — or grilled skewers with different meats and veggies.
Stop in for spicy tuna rolls and sea urchin sashimi, skewers of wagyu short rib and pork tsukune, and for chef's specials like rock shrimp tempura and duck breast sukiyaki hot pot. Omomo's offerings are available a la carte or as part of one of two omakase tasting menus ($120 each). A lunchtime sushi omakase is available, too.
With a 4.5-star rating out of 15 reviews on Yelp so far, the new addition is on its way to developing a local fan base.
Jacob H., who was among the first Yelpers to review Omomo on Feb. 11, wrote, "The inside was beautiful, and the food was phenomenal."
Yelper Linda L. noted, "The food was delicious."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Omomo is open for lunch from 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. on weekdays and for dinner from 5:30–10 p.m. on Monday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)
