Tomo Sushi - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Came here for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the food and service. The Holy Moly Roll was a standout dish. It was a California Roll with spicy mayo, tobiko, scallion, and unagi sauce, topped with seared salmon and scallops, providing a delightful textural contrast and fresh ... flavour. The Tomo Roll was equally tasty. It was a Dynamite Roll with the heat of spicy salmon and jalapeño, combined with the richness of eel and avocado. This added an extra layer of complexity to an already flavorful creation. Both rolls had rich flavour profiles. The rice-to-filling ratio was great, with the rice itself being on the softer and stickier side, which fits my liking. Their Shrimp Tempura was yummy too. The batter was light and crispy, and the shrimp was succulent. The presentation was also nice. The Salmon Tartare was fresh, simple but delicate. The restaurant was spacious and clean, and the service was really great. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, frequently checking on our needs with genuine smiles. Overall, I was happy about this experience. Would revisit in the near future to try other items on the menu.

Nice place to catch lunch. Service was good also the sushi/ sashimi was okay. Didn’t taste the freshest, but the price point was okay as well. One favour item was the crunchy noodle soup.

A fairly unique sushi place in the GTA as they excel highly with their vast selection of fish and exceptional service -- not something you find often. I love how they have semi private seating in little rooms as it's very cozy. Everything tasted fresh and well made and the presentation ... was impressive too. I would come back and try the rest of their menu. Read more

TOMO, My recent visit to TOMO on a Wednesday night marked my first time returning there since the pandemic. The transformation was stark; where once the restaurant buzzed with energy and the sight of sushi boats at every table, I was now met with a quiet and nearly empty space. This ... new quiet and empty atmosphere proved to be an entirely different dining experience. We ordered three different sushi rolls: Spider, Richmond Hill, and California. Unfortunately, the overall quality of the sushi seemed to have diminished. The rice appeared less fresh, and the rolls were bulked up with fillers, missing the finer details that should be normal. Notably, the California roll lacked both roe and sesame seeds, staples of its traditional garnish. The Spider roll's soft-shell crab, typically a highlight for its juicy texture, was dry and encased in what felt like stale, deep-fried batter. Conversely, the Richmond Hill roll stood out for its size, freshness, and flavor, raising questions about the inconsistent treatment of classic selections. Despite the food's shortcomings, the service remained commendable. The server was professional and personable, maintaining a cheerful demeanor throughout our meal. The staff was attentive, ensuring we had ample ginger and wasabi and keeping our drinks replenished. However, the pricing did not seem to reflect the quality on offer. At approximately $50 for three rolls, the value proposition has undoubtedly shifted, possibly explaining the restaurant's current lack of customers. If this is the reason the place isn’t busy anymore, I can understand the frustration of past regulars. Perhaps a change of chef would liven the place up again. Read more
