I found myself on Ogden, just me and my 12 year old son. We were hungry so I asked him what he wanted and he suggested sushi. I'd never been to Tona so we thought we'd give it a try.
Seated promptly at the bar on a Tuesday night, place was fairly crowded.
For starters we ordered the shrimp tempura and vegetables which was quite good, and the Asian ribs that my son loved. Nice start to the meal. They brought us a nice damp warm towel with the ribs which was a nice touch, but only one even though everything is supposed to be family style. I let my son use it which was nice and kept him clean after eating the very yummy, fall off the bone, ribs. But two warm towels would have been better. 4/5
The first roll we received was the sunshine, one of my favorites and it was really good. We both gave it two thumbs up. 5/5
Sweet Pee, snowcrab, lime, cucumber, topped w/avocado, jalapeno, honey, seven spice. I hadn't tried honey on a roll before and was interested to see if the sweet honey and jalapeño would work together. Not so much, it felt mismatched to me. 3/5
Coconut Crunch
yellowtail, fresh pineapple, panko fried w/coconut crust, topped w/snow crab salad and chili garlic sauce. I was leery as I don't usually prefer fried rolls but thought my son might like it. We both didn't care for it at all. You couldn't really taste any of the featured flavors, no pineapple, no coconut, just fried crunchy not sure what. 1/5
And then we received the bill $120 with tip for three rolls almost $20 each, and two appetizers. I could have gone to Takashi for less and better sushi.
Possibly my roll selection could have been better, but what they served was not worth the money. Having some buyer's remorse here.
