In Short – An aquarium with dancing and glowing jellyfish and long black, sleek sushi bar provide plenty of room for convivial drinks and dining and adds to the restaurant's cool vibe. Black booths and banquettes beckon diners looking for a more intimate meal of Black Angus rib eye teriyaki, sushi, sashimi, rolls or a la carte tempura like shrimp, squid, avocado and pumpkin. Office workers take advantage of sushi combos and bento box lunch specials while evening brings in young couples for casual dates.

best sushi in austin
by rdaustin
Reviewers calling Tomo average or bad sushi either got very unlucky on their visit or do not know sushi. This is the best sushi in town because the fish and vegetables are good quality and extremely fresh, the rolls are well planned in terms of balance in taste and texture, and the nori is superbly prepared. I'm talking your teeth slice right through, never chewy.
My favorite original roll is the ridiculously named Angry Beaver. The jalapeno in the middle is always crunchy.
The chefs are jovial, and sometimes I do get the impression that they drink too much for people who are preparing complicated meals. I find that unprofessional, but they've never been rude to me. The wait staff is always pleasant and prompt.
The wait can be long because the restaurant is simply too small for the crowd it attracts. It has begun to attract pretty, hip people who seem to be there to be seen, but there are real sushi lovers there too.
- Pros: the food, the drinks, the wait staff
- Cons: too small for the crowd it attracts
