I was happy that they survived þhe pandemic as my family used to go here a lot. We went on a Sunday night. The seafoods (oysters, snow crabs, clamps, and fishes) are fresh and tasty. One of my friends was invested in the sashimi, while the others were in love with the clamps. The mango ice cream was our favorite end note. Not the best food in the world but definitely our top buffet place for the price they offer.

We sat at that counter, facing the men preping the food. The shushi was amazing and tasty. The service was fast, and the environment was cozy as well. The only disappointment was their takiyoki balls that each had only one small piece of octopus inside.

Sushi are very good. Other items we tried also very good. Parking can be a challenge. I do recommend this place.

One of my favourite date night is four dollar sign omakase. But obviously that’s not realistic on a frequent basis. When I’m craving for one of those date nights but don’t want to spend four dollar signs, we go to Sushi Tomi!! We always know that we’ll be happy because that’s what Sushi Tomi is - reliable! We always ONLY get their nigiris (from their a-la-carte nigiri menu, not the sets) and we sometimes think that the freshness of their fish rival other high end sushi restaurants. IMO this is the best way to eat here - only get their nigiri’s and try your best to order from their handwritten special fish menu. They probably make less money from fresh nigiri than a cooked bento box so that’s why I think it’s a better bang for your buck!! Their scallops and tuna are very good - the baseline for a good sushi spot ;) Uni can vary sometimes but still very good for a day to day spot. We also love the Eel Roll!!!! We get it each time and I always alternate between the nigiri’s and the eel roll for the perfect bites! We’ve never tried their omakase as I enjoy selecting my preferred nigiris instead at a place like this. Before going, set your expectations and know that it will usually be at least a 30 minute wait for weekend dinners. Though annoying, I think it’s a testament that I’m not the only one that think this is a great place! There is no online waitlist, you must be physically present to put your name down. I find that the wait here is shorter than the Mountain View location and the atmosphere is more comfortable as it’s more spacious and quiet. While I love the nigiri’s, a growth area for them is their service. They can be slow at times with getting items (such as chopsticks or refilling tea) but it doesn’t stop us from thinking that’s it’s one of our favourite spots!

Authentic, fresh, delicious. This is a gem of a sushi restaurant that is reminiscent of what you get in Tokyo. The prices are fair for what you get the Don rice bowls are the way to go here. Whether you go for chirashi or a single fish don, you will be pleased with your choices. My favorite was the negitoro, but you really can’t go wrong here. Come early for lunch or dinner because it gets packed.
