I heard many great things about Tomi Jazz, and went to check out this place on Friday after work with my girlfriend. I got there around 5pm and there was already a line forming. I think we waited about a hour before we were seated, which wasn't bad at all. The vibes inside were amazing, it was like an underground speak easy with soft lighting. We are big fans of jazz music, so it was a treat listening to live jazz during our time there. The musician was really ripping it on his alto sax! Food was overall delicious! I really enjoyed the curry croquette and taiko pasta. I think the scallop cream croquette was good but there was too much cream in it. The crab omurice was alright, I wasn't a fan of the starchy sauce. Overall I really recommend this place as the vibes were amazing and the food was delicious! I appreciate the live music aspect a lot!

Cozy space, solid jazz, yummy food and drinks! We visited on a Friday afternoon and got in line around 4:40pm and ended up waiting in line for ~1 hour (didn't feel that long). Service was super attentive and kind, even though they were really busy! Got the curry croquette (4/5), scallop cream croquette (5/5), cod roe spaghetti (4/5), chicken wings (5/5), crab omelette (3/5), and honey toast with matcha ice cream (4/5). Also loved my mandarin slush! Would definitely come back.

Immaculate vibes. I feel like I was transported back to Japan right when I walked in! Waited just over an hour in line, and when I left at 11pm there was still a long line. Drinks were so good. Had the lychee martini and it tasted like juice. Friend's mandarin slush was super refreshing. Got the Zen drink for second round, the matcha was really high quality. Food is also up to par! Shared a few items, and standouts were the omurice, cod roe spaghetti, and matcha toast.

My friends took us to Tomi Jazz and it was one of the most memorable experiences I've had in NYC. No reservations, so they got there early to wait in line for opening at 5pm. The restaurant is basement-level; dark, moody, and crowded. Kinda reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland lol. + Egg drop soup 5/5: Simple but extremely flavorful bowl of thickened soup. The eggs were so wispy and fluffy. + Avocado spaghetti 5/5: First time eating an avocado spaghetti and it definitely tasted creamy and rich. + Yaki-udon 5/5: Highlight of my dinner because this stir fried udon was so delicious. It had an assortment of veggies and tons of bonito flakes. Everything came together for an easy but flavorful dish. + Croquette 4/5: Got both the corn and crab cream one. I'm glad I shared half of each because it can get too heavy from being deep fried with very creamy fillings. Still good tho. + Omurice with demi-glaze 4/5: We were too busy talking that we forgot to slice the egg open for the gooey scrambled egg consistency. It was a bit overcooked by the time we remembered. As for drinks, we each ordered two drinks. Honestly, can't go wrong with any of the cocktails on the menu. Tomi Jazz is very generous and heavy-handed with their pours. Can't wait to come back!
