Best Japanese food in Edmonton, hands down. We have been coming here since they first opened! Their sushi is the perfect temperature, proportion, and taste. Cooked food is always super tasty. We always order: spicy tuna roll, chicken kara-age (plain), 2 tuna sushi, 2 salmon sushi, 2 chop chop, the Melanie roll, beef tatake, and on occasion the tonpei if we are extra hungry. We've recommended this place to all our friends, family, and colleagues, and we tell everyone to order our must-have list too!The atmosphere is lively and jovial, and the service is impeccable. Tomo's attention to detail is amazing and it really shows in the quality of the food. Chris and Terry, the servers are super friendly and have great suggestions. Be sure to make reservations because this place is very popular!
Delicious! Service was surprisingly fast for a full house and the food is great! Spicy crispy sushi and the kushi katsu(fried skewers) were my favorites of the night! Tonpei is great for okonomiyaki lovers. Beef tataki was a big hit with my family, just make sure you don't mind uncooked slices of meat!
The pork belly appetizer is unbelievably good. The rolls were great too, particularly the lobster California roll. A little bit on the pricier side but well worth it. The restaurant itself is well decorated and very cozy.
The atmosphere is amazing. The food is delicious and the drinks are fun. They're pretty busy so you may have to wait if you don't have a reservation. The service was a tad slow but not too bad. The waitress was so friendly. We plan on going back until we try everything on the menu.
I have been going to Izakaya Tomo for years and the food has been consistently superb. Their takoyaki is the best in Edmonton - just the right amount of crispiness on the outside with an umami-rich flavour overall. It's a must-have every time I go! Some of my other favorites include the creamy and cheesy carbonara udon, chop chop cone and any of the rolls!
Amazing tasty food. Nice waiter and quick kitchen
I went here with my girlfriends for a birthday dinner. The service was exceptional. Our waiter (can't recall his name) was so kind and engaging. He was knowledgeable and helped us take a group photo to commemorate the evening. The food is sublime. The atmosphere warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend if you're looking to expand your palate or you're trying out a new Japanese restaurant.
Came into town to say hello to a friend and ended up ordering takeout. Showed up after 45 minutes and it wasn't even posted to the kitchen. Server and owner asks what we expect instead of offering what they consider to be customer service. Interesting way to handle these type of situations but hopefully the food will be half decent after waiting another 20 minutes. Edit update. Food turned out to be absolutely phenomenal although I am an impatient guy.Great presentation - new and pleasant to my tatsebds.
Lovely little Izakaya. As soon as I walked in I got transported back to my trip to Japan. Food was great. I’ll definitely be coming back .
The food over here are very good!!!Me and my wife went here on our monthsary becuase we like japanese foods a lot!!We suggest you to try the Seafood Fried Rice, I know it may not be a japanese food however the food is very unique!!You guys should try also Crispy Sushi Canape, it says that is has wasabi but it is not spicy and quite juicy than expected!!Tonpei teppanyaki is unexpectedly very good. We always try okonomiyaki but tonpei is really good though. I would say a little bit much better than okonomiyaki since it has less flour and they just use more eggs and there are a lot of ingredients inside as well!!Dashimaki is like a scrambled egg with somewhat a twist in the taste. A must try as well!!Look at the desserts (cream brulee and crispy honey bread!!!) we have on the pictures!! We forgot to take pictures on the foods we had above since the food are very good!!The employees are very accommodating and they gave really nice customer service. Our servers name is Terry and he always asked us how things are going and suggesting us what food we should try.
