I think the sushi at Sushi Tomo is the best in Pittsburgh. Always extremely fresh and prepared beautifully, with creative options. Geisha roll is my absolute favorite, but everything I've eaten here has been really good. The owner and staff are wonderful and make us feel like VIPs every time we are there. I'm not an expert in saki, but their house hot saki is great - especially appreciated after a long day at work.
From the outside, the restaurant doesn't look like much, but the inside is comfortable, pleasant and clean. The staff gives the place a warm vibe. The sushi chefs really care about preparing an artful dish and it always appears that they enjoy what they're doing - a good sign!
I'm so glad that Sushi Tomo is on the way home from downtown for me. It's always a treat to make a stop!
