Japanese restaurant Momoya, by owner KwangHo Lee, will open a brand new location in SoHo Wednesday, March 30.
With Momoya from the original locations of the Upper West Side and Chelsea, this new location in SoHo offers a 12-seat pine-wood sushi and cocktail bar on the first floor and velvet-covered banquettes on the second floor, along with a window view of New York’s most historic churches.
The menu will include an array of traditional Japanese cuisine, as Chef Tetsuya Okuda creates special meals out of the kitchen. There will also be a sushi omakase menu exclusively at the sushi bar.
One can have the Chef’s Kaiseki Tasting Menu ($150), which incorporates seasonal hassun for appetizers; sashimi; owanmono soup; takimono; Agemono, fried dish; Okuchi Naoshi; Sushi; and Mizugashi for dessert!
Japanese culture is prevalent throughout New York City, and Momoya SoHo allows guests to dine and eat in a contemporary, stylish and artistic setting. The two-level restaurant is surrounded by windows, offering an unencumbered view of the bustle of the corner where Momoya sits. Inside is a serene scene of Japanese fare that showcases picture perfect nigiri and sublime foods highlighting the beauty of the vast array of dishes that make this cuisine so special.
Momoya is located at 47 Prince Street. To make a reservation, visit momoyanyc.com.
