The space that Nagomi now occupies has seen different tenants throughout the years. When I’m at The Room, I always end up craving for sushi for dinner which can only mean Blue Ribbon down the block. With Nagomi closer than Marumi across Houston Street, I can now enjoy fairly-priced fresh fish without shelling out more than $40 for ten pieces of sushi and a bottle of Sapporo. I’ve eaten twice since they’ve opened and the uni has been consistently good. The scallop might not be as buttery as Morimoto’s but for $4 a piece, one can’t complain. Have I mentioned that they’re around the corner from The Room?
