Sushi Tomi is a popular sushi restaurant in the Bay Area known for its fresh and affordable offerings. The atmosphere may be a bit outdated, but the quality of the food makes up for it. The special sashimi set and combo dinner options are highly recommended. Despite the possibility of a wait during peak hours, the attentive service from knowledgeable staff and complimentary dishes make the dining experience worthwhile.
The restaurant is often praised for its classic sushi, with customers noting the variety of items in their boxes, such as oranges, cabbage, and lettuce, as well as the flavorful miso soup. The sashimi is described as light and fresh, while the fried gyoza is also a tasty option. The extra special chirashi is a standout dish, with the fish melting in the mouth and the seafood being of high quality, although some customers wish the rice had a bit more vinegar. Recent reviews highlight the excellent nigiri hamachi, with a generous portion that melts in the mouth, and the interesting addition of a map showing the sake's origin. Customers also mention that ordering from the whiteboard labeled “Fresh!” is important for the best fish quality, including shima aji, tai, uni, black cod, ocean trout, toro, and kanpachi, which are consistently excellent. Some items, like the aji (horse mackerel), are slightly fishy as expected, while others like unagi and hirame are also well-liked. The seaweed salad is a bit sweet, and green tea pairs nicely with the meal. Servers are generally friendly and professional, though at times they may make diners feel rushed. The sushi chefs are praised for their engagement and communication.
Overall, Sushi Tomi remains a must-visit spot for sushi lovers in the South Bay, offering delicious, fresh sushi and sashimi at good prices, with friendly service and a cozy, if slightly outdated, atmosphere. Customers also appreciate the daily menu and other Japanese dishes available, making it a versatile dining choice.
