TOMO Sushi and Steak Reviews
I was going to give this place 4 stars because the location is a nightmare. You have to walk through downtown market zombie land just to reach the front door. I’m out here dodging the walking dead just trying to get to a dinner reservation. But then I thought, why punish the restaurant for municipal decay? Is it their fault society is collapsing outside the window? I suppose not. 5 stars it is.

It’s so great to have an omakase experience in Ottawa. I loved the selected fish and how everything was explained. They accommodated my friend who could not eat too much rice so after she reached her limit, they made sashimi for her instead of nigiri. Everything was so fresh and well prepared. The drinks were great. The service was excellent. I look forward to coming back.
Melt in your mouth sushi, comparable to what I had in Japan. Would definitely return here.

TOMO Sushi and Steak offers an exceptional dining experience focused on authentic Japanese cuisine and high-quality ingredients. The restaurant boasts a Japanese-trained chef who ensures each dish remains traditional, using fresh ingredients and some imported directly from Japan. Guests can enjoy a variety of menus, including the highly recommended 16-course Omakase experience, which features an impressive selection of sushi, sashimi, nigiri, and other delicacies. The sashimi and nigiri stand out for their freshness, buttery texture, and flawless presentation, highlighting the use of top-tier fish. Notable dishes include the hamichi hamichi roll, considered the best special roll by some diners, and the Wagyu and Egg, which is rich and decadent. The Hand Roll, with perfectly crisp nori and packed flavor, is also a favorite.
Service at TOMO is attentive and friendly, with staff members providing explanations and guidance throughout the meal. The server guiding guests through the Omakase and the staff answering questions contribute to a memorable experience. The atmosphere is versatile, transforming into a bar at night, where safety and hospitality are prioritized, especially for women. Prices tend to be higher, with rolls starting around $28, but many guests feel the quality and experience justify the cost.

Overall, TOMO Sushi and Steak is highly recommended for special occasions, date nights, or nights out with friends, promising an unforgettable culinary journey.
