**updated Went again to find the quality had dropped. Sashimi has a fishy smell, Tonkotsu is over cooked so tested dry
The decoration of this restaurant is very old-fashioned, with a style from 25 years ago.
I ordered sushi rolls and I liked them. They were made in an old-fashioned way, simple and without too much sauce.
Tonkatsu was crispy but too thin . Service is nice . I think I will go back to try other items later .

Wonderful place that I have slept on. Interior is decorated like the sushi places I frequented growing up which was a beautiful breath of fresh air in the Bay with how gentrified everything near by has become. Every roll and nigiri we had was great. They also had some menu items I don't see often, like wakame inside of the roll. The sushi chef, whom I presume is the owner, was very friendly and chatted with us a bit while we sat at the sushi bar, and the waitress was very friendly and nice. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality. The rice was seasoned perfectly. Additionally the rolls were very light on the sauce, which was wonderful. When I eat sushi, I don't want to just get a mouthful of sriracha mayo. I want to actually taste the great cut of fish. They use a light and tasteful touch. Highly recommend this place that has been around for over 30 years!

This is my favorite restaurant in San Jose. I make a point of dining here every time I am in town. I used to visit here every week when I lived there beginning in 2009 until I moved to Seattle in 2022. The staff are all very friendly and the quality of the seafood used in sushi is fantastic. I highly recommend sitting at the counter and mingling with the regulars and the chefs as they are a lot of fun.
Rolls and sashimi were ok, sesame chicken was soggy/chewy low quality pieces of meat. When attempting to talk to our waitress about it she refused to say anything and sighed at every pass of the table. Not planning on returning but if you go maybe stick to rolls/sashimi (although we did find hair in ours, they really should use hairnets or something when making the sushi).

10/10 will visit again! sushi was fresh and well made, service was prompt and friendly, loved the calm atmosphere.
Got the teriyaki chicken and it was not that good at all. The sushi we got was okay definitely gonna search for other places.

Tomo Sushi is hands down the best sushi spot in San Jose! The quality of their fish is exceptional—always fresh and flavorful. Every dish is beautifully presented and bursting with authentic flavors.
The service is top-notch, with a friendly and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you're a sushi aficionado or just looking to enjoy a great meal, Tomo Sushi consistently delivers an outstanding dining experience.
If you're in San Jose and craving sushi, Tomo Sushi is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!
What an amazing little hidden gem! My wife and I came in here for date night to try some place we've never been. The sushi chef (owner) was amazing. We sat the the sushi bar and there was a couple sitting next to us, so friendly, gave us some amazing recommendations. The prices are great and the food was really top notch! I've been to several places in Japan and this compares!
Incredible atmosphere and authentic cuisine. Something on the menu for everyone and the chefs are amazing.

I remember when I was here. I forgot to leave a review . I visited on a Wednesday, 5:31pm.I remember when I came here in tears one day, and somehow the food was very comforting, my tears slowly dried away. I had a chicken katsu. I like the dessert and california roll, too; it was what my father ordered. Not too bad for the price.It isn't the best sushi place in the world, but I don't really care. It's got a place in my heart. I like coming here.

We love sushi and recently moved. We were looking for a place close to home and just so happened to stop by here.Great food, friendly and funny staff. I have a VERY strong willed little one and they had no problem accepting him and his many personalities, which has always been difficult for others to accept ? Made it easier for us to enjoy dinner as parents to an over-achieving baby.
