This was our first time visiting the restaurant. I was looking for a nice upscale sushi restaurant to celebrate my birthday. They weren’t many options being that my birthday is New Year’s Day. Came across Tomo and just by the reviews and menu I was sold. What a great place. Food and Drinks were amazing! Definitely will be back and recommend!

It was my wife birthday and she wanted the waiter to take a picture of us. The floor supervisor kept rushing the waiter off and it put a damper on the dinner. This was done twice

Excellent service! Like top quality. Food was really good. I prefer the yellow tail jalapeno at a different restaurant but Umi’s is very good. Love the lobster toban-yaki. Spider roll was yummy. Sake negiri also tasty. Chocolate bento box dessert was amazing. It’s pricey but we will return for special occasions.
