Everything about this place is great. From the miso to the green tea ice cream.. Some of the best sushi I've ever had. Seriously. And the fresh made real Wasabi is amazing.
Been coming to Tomi over a decade, still the most reliable and consistent sushi jointI chose the take out option instead of dine in ever since the pandemicI think there is a owner change recently, food is still legit
The sushi was good, but we waited almost 30 minutes for the sushi dinner to come out.
Consistently one of the best sushi place in the Bay area. Fresh fish, variety of fishes, and value is the best. There's a sister restaurant Sushi Tomi in Mountain View that is of same quality. I've tried many and I still come back to this one repeatedly.
The place is small and the service was slow. Bad combo. Usually small joints make up for that combo with pallette bursting flavorful food. Unfortunately, it fell sort of flat in that category as well. The one shining star I will give them is the sashimi dinner tasted fresh and gave decent sized cuts. ?I wouldn't recommend going here with a group no larger than 4. Find someplace else.
Great service and food! We had tomi lunch deal with sashimi and grilled mackerel along with kama special. The kamas were very tender and juicy. Have to come in person to get on wait-list, almost no wait time when we came at 11:30 with a party of 9.
First time here, very impressed. Packed on a Sunday night. Rice was cooked perfectly and all the fish options were fresh and delicious.
This place is legit. Some of the best, most authentic Japanese I've had in years. You can add Sukiyaki as a bento selection for an extra three dollars, which is worth it since it's a good-sized portion served in a nabe, not in the bento box. The hotate and uni were quite fresh and the sashimi (maguro & sake) was like butter. The tempura was spot-on. We were bummed that the Dragon Roll was only 4 pieces but they were large and very yummy. We'll definitely be back!
Great sushi and they are pretty fresh.
Stellar. THIS is real sushi. I'm going to go step by step, so details below.First, the tea was free. This may seem cursory, so let me explain. The tea served at sushi restaurants is not simply for tradition. It's also to aid in digestion and prevent sickness from ingesting raw food. For those that choose not to drink sake, the tea is an important part of the meal. Furthermore, from a traditional standpoint, offering guests tea without trying to charge them for it is a gesture of hospitality and good manners ubiquitous in Oriental Asia. So the tea being served free means a lot.Second, the service was neither rushed nor neglectful. The waitress checked in on us regularly and answered any questions we had regarding the menu, being quick to inform us when something we wanted was unavailable and refilling our tea proactively.Third, the sushi was of excellent quality (and I mean EXCELLENT) with generous slices, and it was authentically crafted. Here's how to tell:1. The Sushi Rice was as it should be. Well seasoned and flavorful, but not overpowering, and when eaten with the fish, smooth and slightly slippery. The sushi rice properly enhanced the flavors of the fish and made swallowing the chewed food delightfully easy.2. There was a light swab of wasabi paste between the fish and the rice of each nigiri. Horseradish and authentic Wasabi both hold properties that help prevent illness from ingestion of raw ingredients. It's imperative that a small amount be included. Improperly made sushi by imitators often neglect this swab of wasabi because they do not know the significance of it.3. It tastes damn good. Better than how the raw fish and rice would normally be. Seriously, if you could've eaten the piece of fish with a dollop of rice and had the same result, that isn't sushi.Last, but not least, the prices were reasonable. Heck, they could've been a bit higher and I'd still be back, but as it is, I'll DEFINITELY be back. Tomi Sushi is a far cry from the vast majority of sushi restaurants I have visited, and likely the only one I'll be revisiting in the near future.You want real sushi? Come here.
