Tommy Katsu Sushi & Grill — Restaurant in Livermore

Unexpectedly good food! The menu is as usual what you expect from an usual California-located sushi place. (They have bento on weekdays). We got one cooked and one raw sushi. They put sauced imi crab on top of shrimp tempura roll -that is a nice addition. The multi-colored roe-topped sushi was a delight for the eyes and has a tiny flower for decoration -a nice touch. (See photos). When I looked closer to the sushi cross section, I was happy to see a larger part is fish, they didn't skimp on it. (More fish, less rice). The fish tasted okay.

Value for money is good, ambiance is just normal just chairs and tables with pendant lights, and beer bottles lined in the wall (decorative). The service was courteous and prompt. Highly...

Edit 2021-01-04: I've removed 1 star because the food quality has declined on average. 2 out of the last 3 times we ate there it was barely good enough to finish. While this is now take out I don't think the short drive home accounts for it especially since we've gone elsewhere that was farther away that didn't suffer. We did notice that the 2 poor meals were on the same day of the week so perhaps they had a new chef who wasn't up to snuff. If the average comes back up to the way it used to be then I'll restore the star.

We love this place - excellent food & service, staff is very friendly. I would say that the food and ambiance are superior to all of the other Japanese places in Livermore, Dublin,...

Came in around 1PM on a Saturday, and there were only 2 other pairs there, so my group of 5 was seated immediately. Our server gave us waters right away and took our order within a few minutes. We ordered a couple of bentos, a ramen bowl, and some sushi, with 2 orders of karaage to start. The karaage came out pretty quickly, which was nice and hot, crispy and flavorful. It was so good we ordered another round. Everything else came out just as we were finishing the last plate of karaage, and we all enjoyed it. Food tasted delicious, sushi had a lot of pieces, and everything was nice and fresh. Would definitely come back if we're in...
