Tomo Sushi

This is my favorite restaurant in San Jose. I make a point of dining here every time I am in town. I used to visit here every week when I lived there beginning in 2009 until I moved to Seattle in 2022. The staff are all very friendly and the quality of the seafood used in sushi is fantastic. I highly recommend sitting at the counter and mingling with the regulars and the chefs as they are a lot of fun.

**updated Went again to find the quality had dropped. Sashimi has a fishy smell, Tonkotsu is over cooked so tested dry The decoration of this restaurant is very old-fashioned, with a style from 25 years ago. I ordered sushi rolls and I liked them. They were made in an old-fashioned way, simple and without too much sauce. Tonkatsu was crispy but too thin . Service is nice . I think I will go back to try other items later .

This is my favorite sushi spot! I've been coming here for over 15 years and never once had a bad experience. Actually, I don't think we've ever even had to wait for a table (they get busy at dinner but not packed). The food is delicious and I love that you can see them making the rolls right up front. My sister and I meet here for sister dates 1-2x a month so they've grown to know us and our usual orders. Not too expensive but everything is so good that we often eat a lot lol. The staff is so attentive and caring and they've remained largely stable over time so the place truly feels like home.

Rolls were okay, tasted good and median prices were like $15. But a small bowl of udon priced $18.5 was a bit much, let alone a $12.5 soft crab appetizer which was just one tiny crab cut into 4 pieces..

the space there is not big, but the service and quality is good. Sushi is also fresh and reasonable price.

Wonderful place that I have slept on. Interior is decorated like the sushi places I frequented growing up which was a beautiful breath of fresh air in the Bay with how gentrified everything near by has become. Every roll and nigiri we had was great. They also had some menu items I don't see often, like wakame inside of the roll. The sushi chef, whom I presume is the owner, was very friendly and chatted with us a bit while we sat at the sushi bar, and the waitress was very friendly and nice. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality. The rice was seasoned perfectly. Additionally the rolls were very light on the sauce, which was wonderful. When I eat sushi, I don't want to just get a mouthful of sriracha mayo. I want to actually taste the great cut of fish. They use a light and tasteful touch. Highly recommend this place that has been around for over 30 years!

Place is clean, quiet and service is rapid. The miso was a bit stale... maybe it was my tastebuds. I only tried the crab avocado roll, edamame, the miso and their plum wine...the wine was screaming delicious! I will definitely be returning to try out their sushi selection, it looked great.

Good value for the price. Only problem for me was that I specifically talked to two servers about my sesame allergy to request it be left off, but then both my hamachi roll and my salmon shoyaki contained sesame.
