Sushi Tomi

We visit Tomi a lot. Most recently I tried their extra special nigiri and really loved it! The raw shrimp and Uni nigiri’s were very fresh and sweet. Super fatty tuna melted in my mouth. Also loved the eel.

A solid restaurant for sushi and other Japanese food in a casual setting. We have been coming here for sushi for the last 15 years. We got there before 11:30am on a Sunday and were seated immediately, but there were people waiting outside after noon. Their sushi and sashimi selection was excellent as usual. The sets come with miso soup, a salad, and a bowl of white rice. The pork katsudon rice bowl was delicious as well. It happened to be on Mother’s Day and they thoughtfully brought out some carnations for the moms at each table. The price is quite reasonable given the high-quality of food they serve. Overall it is a great experience.

Definitely one of my favorite sushi spots in all of South Bay for casual nigiri and sushi rolls. All of the sashimi are so consistently fresh and high quality. The salmon pieces are so thick and amazing. The uni was so flavorful and tasted like the ocean (in a good way). Everything was super great value for the price too! My fiance and I came at 5:30pm on a Friday and were able to get a table immediately, we barely beat the dinner rush because by the time we finished ordering, the storefront started getting crowded with people waiting for a spot. The service is okay, friendly but not super attentive. Our server essentially only came by for us to order and then drop off the check at the end. But she did give really good menu suggestions.

The extra special chirashi was unbelievably good. The fish melted in my mouth! Every piece of seafood was high quality. I just wish the rice had a bit more vinegar, but it was the best chirashi bowl I've had outside of Japan. The sake they serve is also quite delicious. Service was so friendly. We even got free fried shrimp, which was freshly made and crunchy. Line to get in is just a bit long and they don't have Apple/Google pay, but I highly recommend.

This was a deeply disappointing Japanese restaurant. Perhaps it was because we visited on a weekend and the place was crowded, but every dish our group ordered had some sort of issue. One person found hair in their rice, another had spoiled chicken in their oyakodon, and the tonkatsu was unbearably salty. The sashimi side dish, made from trimmings, tasted off—almost as if something that shouldn’t be there had gotten mixed in. The environment inside was extremely noisy, making it nearly impossible to hold a proper conversation. The service was confusing as well—our server had difficulty communicating in English, and we weren’t given any water cups throughout the meal. No one came to ask if we needed water, even after we finished the tea we had to pay extra for. As the meal went on, our disappointment grew. We left a small, symbolic tip out of courtesy, only to be met with a strange look from the staff. This experience was truly disheartening, and it’s hard to imagine coming back.

A long time and standing strong Japanese restaurant. Before making the order, you should always check the "today's catch" board, the gen of the restaurant, like we always do. Never disappointed.

Sushi Tomi is well regarded for a reason! Excellent value, fresh fish, incredibly attentive and efficient service. I came in for a weekday lunch and felt like family the whole way through. The nigiri is a wonderful value. Amaebi comes with heads fried. Hotate incredibly fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!! Thank you Sushi Tomi!

Classic sushi right in the heart of Mountain View. The place is really tiny so they're often rammed during peak meal times, so do expect a wait. Their boxes often feature a variety of other things that can add to the meal such as oranges, cabbage, and lettuce, and their miso soup was really flavourful. I personally prefer gyoza steamed, but the fried gyoza was still tasty, and the sashimi was light and fresh. I'd recommend it as a quick, casual stop for some good sushi.
