| - Disclaimer: I did not come here for the Hibachi, but just for regular kitchen food and sushi.
Store Layout (4): If you didn't know, this restaurant/hibachi/club/lounge is 5 stories high. Apparently the building has been vacant for almost 10 years before the owner bought it. Hoping that this would be a place for all activities, each floor has its purpose. There's a clubbing floor, a lounge floor, hibachi floor, sushi floor, etc...
Reservation (2): We made a reservation for 12 people at 9PM. When we arrived there, we realized they messed up our reservation and thought that our reservation for for 6PM. LUCKILY, the restaurant was very empty when we got there and we had no problem getting a table. But once our table was set for us, the hostess never walk over to us (we were by the bar) to tell us it was ready until we asked if our table was set!
Service(3): Completely hit or miss. We had a big table of 12 so 2 waiter/waitress served us. My waiter was absolutely amazing, being on time and checking back on us at the right time. However, the other half of the table had horrible service, where their food didn't come out until we were done with ours and their water didn't get filled in time, etc..
Ambiance (3): I walk in thinking this looked like a classy place. But then the staff are all fairly laid back so it's almost a casual restaurant with a classy look?
Kitchen Food (2): I ordered the beef teriyaki. Not that the food didn't taste good, but more just that it was UNauthentic. The teriyaki sauce was way sweeter than I like and it's hard to explain, but the dish wasn't the way I pictured it (even how it was cooked?)
Sushi (4): Not too bad. The sushi is fairly fresh, but being a restaurant located downtown just across the Bingham, you can imagine the size of the sushi vs. the price. It was fairly expensive for the amount of food you're getting. But i guess it's too expected.
Overall (3): There are other sushi restaurants I'd prefer over Tomo. I haven't tried their hibachi yet but it's hard to imagine there's a huge difference in flavor and taste for hibachi restaurants.. I'll be back here again to try the hibachi!
