| - "Best sushi in Richmond Hill, maybe Markham." -Me
I used to frequent Tomo back in the day as it was a solid sushi venue extremely close to my home. Recently they went under massive renovations and this ordinary looking sushi restaurant was converted into a chic, elegant, and classy venue with outstanding Jap grub.
I highly recommend gathering 5+ sushi aficionados and calling ahead to reserve a booth. Sitting in a booth at Tomo is not mandatory, but the shoeless accommodation definitely enhances the experience.
I am a self-proclaimed sashimi monster, and the cuts and freshness of Tomo's sashimz is eloquently gangster. They are consistently thick, cool, beautifully shaped and probably the best tasting sashimi I have ever had in the GTA. At many places after eating a lot of sashimi I encounter a weird chalky taste in my mouth, but not at Tomo. I could eat there all day and night and still order dessert as they're closing.
If you attend with a large group, they have pre-set combos that include sashimi, maki rolls and sushi. I was skeptical to order these pre-set combos as I always am at restaurants, but at Tomo the chef really puts a phenomenal spread together and it is definitely worth it to venture the pre-set route.
The menu itself is extensive, and Tomo boasts many delicacies that you would not find at most Sushi restaurants. From the miso to sake bombs, truly a great experience from beginning to end. Little things such as the citrus infused asian orange salad dressing and overall presentation of boats are simply stunning and captivating. I would also recommend the spicy Korean bulgogi, it is deep with flavour and riddled with caramelized onions and gochujang (fermented pepper paste).
Do it, you will not be disappointed. 5/5.
