I don't like leaving bad reviews, I really don't, but I feel like I have to this time. The 3 of us went (myself, my partner, and our adult kid) and ordered crab rangoons, a 2 piece pork egg roll, and our kid had teriyaki chicken while we ordered the Volcano roll, the sweet potato roll, and the Spider roll. The rangoons were fine- a bit sweet, but whatever, they're rangoons. Our kid was somewhat nonplussed by the egg rolls, but didn't have any issues with them.

The main courses had serious issues. I don't know what sauce was used for the chicken, but it was not teriyaki. The two strongest notes were dashi and sake. No mirin, no sugar, no sesame oil- I have no idea what they did to make it brown. It wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't teriyaki. The sushi, on the other hand, was bland. Weirdly bland crab, bland sweet potato, bland cucumber somehow. The rice wasn't fermented or rinsed properly prior to being prepared.

A major issue (and not one I ever expected at a sushi place) was alcohol as a part of presentation. The volcano roll was brought out on a plate oversaturated with sauces of various types set as part of the plating, which is fine, and then doused with what ended up tasting like VODKA, and lit on fire. The vodka leaked into the sushi, basically overpowering all the pieces I had. What's worse is my partner has an allergy to alcohol and non lactobacillic fermented products (so booze and vinegar, basically) and gave her an allergic reaction- not life threatening, but incredibly uncomfortable. Our kid did not finish the teriyaki, we did not finish the sushi, everyone left hungry (abd would have anyway based on the portions we got for the price). After tip it was $84.19, and we stopped at a McDonalds after.

Presentation is important, but a gimmick will cover up sub-par ingredients and food...

I dined at Tomo last New Year’s Eve and it was pretty good. Last night though nothing was good and my portion of meat was smaller than even a lunch portion should be, and I was there at dinner at 8:15pm. My fried rice was hard and crunchy like it was not cooked completely when it was given to the chef, that or it maybe it sat out for hours and got hard. My chicken and steak combo was cut into tiny tiny 1/2 inch pieces and the chicken was way over cooked. I did ask for steak well done, but it also ended up burnt. I was literally taken aback at how small the portion of meat was. I almost thought the chef must’ve given some of my meat to the man to the right of me possibly. Also the two appetizer shrimp were not like they used to be grilled, this time they were soggy and served in a weird sauce. I didn’t even finish my food, it tasted terrible. The meat was also quite saucy instead of being grilled and seasoned well. I understand every chef probably cooks differently, but I somehow got one that nothing tasted good. All in all it was not worth $33 for one person. This next complaint is a sign of Tomo probably trying to save money, instead of tossing grilled shrimp to try to have people at the table catch in their mouth, it was now egg that was tossed at people. I asked the waitress about my extremely small portions and she claimed portions had not changed. I took a picture of my food though and I’d guarantee I did not get over a total of maybe 3 ounces of meat. It was literally very disappointing and no flavor with undercooked crunchy rice and overcooked chicken and burnt steak. I do not leave Google reviews often, but this was so terrible that I am. I wasted $33 that I can...
