One of my good friends in Tokyo (Japanese) also doesn't eat meat but eats fish, so I'll see if she knows of any places.
Tried out a noodle shop in the East Village recently (
Momofuku) that states very clearly on their menu "We do not serve vegetarian friendly items". Better than pretending you do, I suppose! Didn't think the noodles were that great, but loved most of the other things I tried (serious pork fest).
