My client told me that he was taking me to the best Chinese restaurant in town today and it was Tomi. My expectation was raised.
When we got there, my client asked the waiter (owner's son?) what Today's Special was. He said in a quiet voice, "Spicy Lo Mein" explaining some of the ingredients.
We all decided to try that, so we ordered 3 of them. It was actually not spicy unless i added the separately served spice into the noodle. I really liked the taste of it. Tasted somewhat familiar to me, but tasted nothing like the Lo Mein that we usually come across at Chinese restaurants in the U.S.
The service was pretty good too. When I coughed suddenly when the tea went into the wrong place in my throat, the waiter heard it and immediately brought me a glass of water. Nice touch.
I can't really judge the restaurant only by eating the Lo Mein but so far so good.
I just have to try more dishes of Tomi and update my review later.
