Best Sushi in Austin.
Every time I go I'm thrilled, I try to eat there once a week. Usually in the afternoon for lunch when it's still quite and i have the place to myself. It's by far the best sushi I've ever had, they
are really good at harmonizing flavors, everything comes out perfect, every time. Try the sushi bomb and the volcano roll with the cold cucumber sake, it's SOOO good! I've had EVERYTHING this place makes at least once, Now I'm working on trying everything once more :)
Every person I've ever taken has agreed and also loved it!…
Great Sushi. I have never had a disappointing experience at Tomo. Every roll or sushi I have tried has been wonderful with interesting combination of flavors & ingredients. The service has always been good and the staff attentive. Tomo is one of the two sushi spots in Austin that I know I can depend on to be fresh and fantastic EVERY time I go.…
Favorite restaurant in town.
I moved to Austin from the Bay Area last year with my girlfriend and spent the first 6 months or so looking for the best Sushi restaurant we could find. After going to Tomo for the first time our
search was over. Hard as it was for us to admit, it probably surpasses our favorite sushi place from the Bay Area. They have unique and different rolls (our favoites being the 007 and the Volcano). While other reviewers have mentioned the sushi chefs being drunk, they have a good time, have never been rude to us, and make a damn good roll. We usually sit at the bar because we enjoy the chefs and Steve the owner.
It is a small place and is generally quite packed for this reason I think the owner and the other chefs can enjoy themselves and have a good time knowing that the business is a success and will continue to be. They aren't a new restaurant that feels the need to put on an act to impress those who think all staff members should be stuffy.
If you are one of these people who think that because you are required to act "professional" at your job that everybody should be as miserable as you are then this might not be the place for you. However, if you like great Sushi and don't mind the staff enjoying themselves at the same time then I highly recommend Tomo's.…
Inmates running the asylum. All of the rolls tasted the same to me, and they were prepared by a staff of clowns, led by an obnoxious sushi chef suffering from one of the worst cases of Napoleon complex I've had to endure. He was boastiing about his prowess with the ladies, taking multiple shots of beer or sake, and had the knfe skills of a uncoordinated lefthanded toddler using righthanded safety scissors Some of my nigiri looked like it was hand torn from larger piece and plopped on to a misshapen mound of rice. Getting drunk during food service to paying customers is wrong on so many levels, and I'm shocked this place actually seems to encourage such behavior. I'm neither a stick in the mud; nor am I uptight. I simply expect a chef to put their best foot forward every day, and this is simply impossible when you're drinking. The results were born out in the food and overall experience. This place is a joke.…
