Tomokazu — Restaurant in San Bruno

My family was trying to find something to eat during a layover at 10pm on a Saturday night, and were delighted to see that there was a Japanese restaurant open. It was pretty busy so we were looking forward to trying it.

I got the nabeyaki udon. The soup was normal and the noodles were cooked as you would expect. What I really liked were the seafood toppings. The scallop was really plump and tender. The shripm tasted a bite under-seasoned but the texture was good. The salmon (which I'm not used to having in udon) was really perfectly cooked and very tender/melt-in-your-mouth. The fish cakes and other toppings were good as well. Overall this was a surprisingly good dish for airport food that doesn't break the budget.

We also got the tempura udon and tonkotsu ramen. The tempura udon was not as good as the nabeyaki -- the tempura coating is quite thick so it's hard to taste what's inside. We ended up taking off a lot of the tempura, especially for the big broccoli piece. The ramen I didn't eat as much of but I heart that it was pretty good with a good soup base and lots of noodles.

We also got the sushi combo. I tried the spicy tuna roll and it was actually quite good with a good kick to it. My brother seemed to enjoy the other pieces as well.

Overall I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this restaurant given the time and that it was airport food. If I were in SFO again and needed food this would be a solid option. Of course this is not the type of restaurant I'd choose to go to out in the wild but for an airport it's quite good and hits the spot. My brother gave...

Absolutely delightful experience at Tomokazu Japanese Restaurant in San Francisco International Airport's G Gates site! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly set the tone for a fantastic meal. The menu selection was impressive, offering a wide range of authentic Japanese dishes that catered to both traditional and modern preferences.

I was blown away by the freshness and quality of the ingredients used in every dish I ordered. The sushi was beautifully presented and tasted incredibly fresh, highlighting the chef's expertise in crafting each piece. The tempura was perfectly crispy, and the ramen was rich and flavorful – a true comfort food indulgence.

The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure I had everything I needed throughout my dining experience. Despite being in an airport setting, the restaurant's ambiance made me feel like I had stepped into a serene oasis, allowing me to unwind and enjoy my meal.

If you're passing through the G Gates at SFO and have a hankering for authentic Japanese cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend Tomokazu. It's a culinary gem that elevates airport dining to a whole new level. Five stars...

After a long flight and a layover at SFO, I was on the hunt for something satisfying to eat. I stumbled upon Tomokazu and decided to give it a try, even though I knew airport prices would be high. ✈️ ​The sushi combo I ordered was definitely the highlight of the meal. The fish tasted incredibly fresh for an airport restaurant, and the rolls were well-made. 🍣 It was a good bite and really hit the spot. I just wish it wasn't so expensive! ​However, the rest of the meal was a bit of a letdown. I was really craving a good bowl of ramen, but the house ramen was a disappointment. The broth was bland and lacked the rich, savory flavor I was hoping for. 🍜 It felt like something was missing. The gyoza were also just average—not crispy, not super flavorful, just... meh. ​In the end, it was a very mixed experience. The sushi was good, but the high price combined with the lackluster ramen and gyoza made me feel a bit underwhelmed. For that reason, I'd rate it 3 out of...
