I've had my eyes on Tomo for a while, since I saw it was a hot and upcoming restaurant on Yelp, and finally, after many failed attempts to dine there (they're closed on Memorial Day fyi), I finally made it this past weekend!
I was SUPER excited to try the ramen, because noods are literally my favorite food group and Troy has been sorely missing a ramen restaurant, so my mom and I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with a little bit of spice, and it was pretty good! The one star is docked from this review, because it wasn't as amazing as I expected. Maybe my hopes were a little high, which is kinda unfair, because I've had some REALLY good ramen (Ichiran still haunts my soul), but for Metro Detroit, it was pretty good! The spice level was perfect.
The surprising star of the show was the Fire Cracker roll with shrimp tempura, crab salad, masago, scallions, and spicy mayo. I was BLOWN AWAY by how delicious it was -- the shrimp tempura was so fresh and crispy, the rice a little warm and soft. The whole roll worked in beautiful harmony. It even tasted good a couple hours later from the fridge (I brought some home for my dad, but I couldn't resist eating the leftovers, oops)!
Overall, it was a great meal. We both got the Japanese salad with the classic ginger dressing and a seaweed salad as well. Overall, awesome meal!
