| - I'm begrudgingly giving Tomo 3 stars because their food is quite good. We went for my birthday on April 26, which is a Tuesday night, at about 5:45, and there weren't very many people there. I'd lucked out and got a Restaurant.com gift card for $25, and told them ahead of time. We ordered 2 appetizers (gyoza and a spicy yellowtail roll), 2 rolls (spicy ninja, and oyshi), and a chirashi. The appetizers didn't come out at the same time, they came out about 10 minutes apart. We thought that was weird, but rolled with it. Our entrees came out at different times as well, which was quite annoying. I hate sitting and watching people eat while I twiddle my thumbs, which is what I ended up doing at my birthday dinner. We had to remind the waitress about the chirashi, and that took a really long time to get out, we joked the chef couldn't make up his mind. My husband and I were talking about how insane the wait times were and a staff member was standing nearby (totally unintentional, not passive aggressive) and said they got slammed at 5:30. Ok, that's great, we got here after you got slammed and it's now 6:30. It's UNACCEPTABLE for someone to order their rolls and get them after people ordering hot food like teriyaki. Hire another sushi chef for crying out loud! An hour should have been PLENTY of time to recover from getting "slammed". All-in-all it took 2 hours for a dinner that should have only taken 1 hour. They also didn't really apologize, nothing was taken off the bill, no percentage off, so it was basically a "sucks to be you" thumbing of the nose at us.
For the food:
The gyoza was delicious. The filling was tasty, but there wasn't enough vinegar in the dipping sauce. Too much shoyu.
The spicy yellowtail roll was very tasty and I would recommend it. It wasn't very spicy, but it was spicier than the spicy ninja roll!
The spicy ninja roll was hyped up more than it delivered. It wasn't bad, but it was too big to eat properly. You really can't take a piece in your mouth all at once without looking like a pig. Ladies, don't order this if you're out on a date with a guy unless you want them thinking naughty thoughts. The fried jalapeno was seeded and deveined, so none of the spiciness remained. Disappointing.
The oyshi was delicious. There was no rice in it, making it a great choice for low carb sushi lovers. It wasn't particularly filling though.
The chirashi was good. The cuts of fish were excellent, and the pickled vegetables were a nice addition. I really hate tamago (too sweet!), so to see it in the bowl was disappointing. You pay so much for something, don't give me sweetened scrambled eggs as one of the choices!
We would probably get take-out from them but wouldn't dine-in again. The wait times are ridiculous. I understand that they're hiring new people (saw their ad on Craigslist), but you really need to work on this Tomo!
