Tomo Sushi & Sashimi

I was in great need of a tasty snack, so I decided to swing by Tomo. Unable to decide on which roll to order, I asked the young man at the counter which was his favorite. He told me about a special roll with spicy crab and spicy tuna, said something that was incomprehensible amidst the din of the food court, and finished with, "so it has a kind of bbq flavor".

I was skeptical, because I've really gotten burned on some crappy special rolls lately, but I decided to go for it.

I sat down in the food court and waited. The roll seemed complicated to put together. Then, I saw the sushi chef take the whole roll and wrap it loosely in foil, then twist the ends to form a pouch. Then I saw him pour some sort of liquid all over the plate underneath the roll.

Then they set the whole thing on fire!!!

OK, call me easily amused but... FIRE!

And the best part? There was some sort of banana leaf or similar underneath the roll that, when charred by the flames, gave the roll this incredible smoky, delicious flavor. It was one of the best special rolls I ever tasted. The fire, therefore, was not just a gimmick but really added to the flavor profile of the roll. And on top of this, it was $12 and *easily* large enough for a whole meal.

I love this place. I feel like I can't give it five stars because of the total lack of atmosphere, which is not really its fault, but still. However, if I was rating just the taste of the sushi alone, I would give it five stars.

This is my most favorite sushi place ever. They are so nice and talented!

I've been to this place for a few years , and their sushi is amazing ! Even though the names were pretty weird and funny , it's still as good as it looks .They also have a bar where you can sit and watch them make their masterpiece and eat at the bar.

Personally , I was a little indecisive because I didn't know what kind of roll to get and I am a very picky kind of person  . But my favorite roll has to be the shrimp tempura roll. it contains fried shrimp , avocado , and cucumbers topped with the special tangy sauce. This happens to be my favorite roll because I am a seafood lover and it was well worth of my money . But if you are allergic to shellfish , my advice is not to get it . But there are other kinds of rolls with or without shellfish such as salmon , tuna etc. . Also , there are rice & soup dishes .

Most soup dishes contain seafood tempura & noodles . And  most rice dishes contain seafood , meat , vegetables , and/or sushi on the side. Tomo sushi happens to be one of my favorite places to have sushi as lunch or dinner with a group of friends .
