Yoshitomo

One of the best sushi date nights in memory. The mackerel, baraniku, hani miso were all stand outs. The service was sublime, Kelly did a phenomenal job explaining the menu as we were first timers, and paid special attention to every detail down to my plate being just a touch wet from being recently washed, she wanted to get me a dry one and replaced it immediately. The only thing that I could say could be improved is the amount of dust that was found in the place. Now I know it might just be hard to control, but the dark aesthetic and lighting makes dust really obvious, and we found ourselves batting it away from our food and drinks.

I read great reviews of this place so knew it was a must-go on my one night in Omaha. I sat at the bar so got to see the sushi being made; would highly recommend if you're dining solo or with someone else. I got the fried egg caesar (which was great but did not actually have an egg, lol); the hama toast, which came highly recommended and was probably my favorite dish; the osaka roll, amazing; the baraniku, which I ordered because I saw them making it -- had incredible aged wagyu short rib; and the soft serve with a platter of toppings, which I hesitated on because I was full but it was adorable and one of the most unique desserts I've seen. My server was attentive and although it's not an inexpensive meal, considering the quality of food and place it's not overpriced. If I ever find myself back in Omaha I will definitely come back!

Absolutely lovely experience at Yoshitomo. Our server was so kind and knowledgeable and she went above and beyond for us. We chose to sit at the bar, which made for such a cool afternoon since we were able to see the chefs at work. They made sure to accommodate any dietary restrictions, answered any questions we had, and overall were lovely. And of course, the food itself was outstanding. The nigiri we had was delicious, but my absolute favorite was the yaki gindara small bite (sablefish with yuzu sumiso). Every dish was a culinary adventure and I can't wait to return.

I’ve have wanted to try this restaurant for a while and finally decided to give it a go. I came early without a reservation.. around 4:45. I was warmly greeted and then shown to the sushi bar. It was very cool to watch the chefs prepare the dishes. The waitress came over and explained the menu and gave me a couple of recommends. I decided to try something from every category minus the nigiri or sashimi. The dish that surprised me the most: Hama toast. I’ve never had sushi on sourdough but I really enjoyed it! My favorite dish: yaki gindara… very beautiful mild flavor with a nice hint of yuzu. I also ordered the royale… I normally love spicy sushi but this was SPICY!! Good flavors but spicier than I liked and wouldn’t get it again. Overall fantastic meal and excellent service!!

Best experience with sushi. The server was passionate about the food he was serving, which I think is rare for any restaurant. He wanted to make sure our first time was as wonderful as he thought Yoshitomo was. Shout-out to James, who really went the extra mile. He was very helpful when describing and suggesting things to try. The sushi itself was amazing, and before we left the server brought out one last bite (the Ume Hirame) as a thank you for our visit, and it was the most beautiful piece to end on. Everyone in our party left happy and were talking about it nonstop after. No subbing/adding/removing items, but I find that really respectable when a chef is putting their art to your dish. The Prairie Tuna was wonderfully done with butter over wagyu. The Hama Toast is an enigma because the toast part was crispy on the outside but so fluffy on the inside for such a tiny piece. Each dish was delicious and wonderful in their own way and brought different textures and taste with them. Highly recommended!
