"Food here tasted very good, and was cheaper than those in malls. The service felt very practiced and coordinated. It was really great. The only thing that wasn't that great was that the place was a bit noisy, but I can understand as it is very popular. I'd recommend the spicy salmon maki and the kaki furai."

"We celebrated my brother-in-law's birthday at Tomo and had a really good experience overall. The food was solid across the board, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Parking was easy thanks to the guides outside, which was a nice touch. Standouts for us were the tendon with its flavorful sauce, the fried oysters which were excellent and definitely a must-try, and a fried stuffed dish that reminded me of ginza--surprisingly delicious. I also appreciated that even the miso soup had a bit of refinement and class, which you don't always see. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and well-prepared. If llived in the area, I'd happily come back, A good choice for Japanese food with quality execution and attentive service."

"The vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant is quite unique, as it was clearly converted from a residence. Despite this, it was well-designed and arranged to serve as a dining establishment. The service was very quick and friendly, making sure we were always taken care of. The food was excellent, with not a single dish missing a beat. The sashimi was fresh and tasty, pairing perfectly with the ponzu sauce. The oyster teppanyaki was a harmonious marriage of familiar flavors. The chawanmushi was hearty and easily cleansed the palate between bites. Perfectly grilled gindara made our rice disappear in a flash. My only complaint is that I had no more space to try more dishes. Will surely return!"

"Service was amazing! I ordered Kari Kari Oyster and Spicy Salmon maki. The maki was a bit sour for me but the oysters were a 10/10"

"We are huge fans of Japanese food! Luckily, this resto didn’t disappoint. It was recommended by a friend who lives in the area. Both sashimi and sushi were super fresh and delicious, definitely the right cut of the fish. We did enjoy all of it. The Ten Zaru Soba was also great, actually, the most yummy one I’ve ever tried We also ordered some Matcha Ice Cream since I do love it, and it didn’t disappoint either. The only question is: why was it served in a paper cup?)) The staff were very friendly and attentive, from the parking attendant to the manager. Thanks a lot! We’ll be back for sure, even if we have to drive all the way from Makati Plus, the ambiance is amazing too! Everything is clean and inviting"

"Tried this because it had a lot of good reviews. Was surprised how big the lot area of the restaurant. Plenty of free parking available. They had a lot of choices on their menu. We ordered a lot. I liked everything especially their salmon sashimi, grilled mackerel, and unagi bowl."
