Excellent food with very good prompt service. Atmosphere geared more to the Byward market crown with dance music playing - which did not seem apropriate for the setting.

We had the tasting menu for 2 and absolutely loved every dish. We absolutely loved the flavours and the pace of the food being brought out was great. We were there on the earlier side so I can’t speak to full volume noise of the restaurant but we had a lovely dining experience and will certainly return.

Absolutely have Waygu and Fioe Gras on Rice. The nigiri is also a fantastic finisher. Owner sent us a round of Amigos Blanco tequila shots. Absolutely fantastic tequila reminiscent of rakija - a Serbian stone fruit liquor.

The salmon tataki and chirashizushi were delicious. They both had subtle hints of citrus that enhanced the degustation experience. The apple chili crunch that topped the tataki was not spicy, rather a bit sweet. They added an interesting texture to the dish. Both dishes lacked toppings of fresh microgreens as described in the menu. Given that they have a static webpage as a menu, I would suggest it stay updated to accurately describe what is in inventory and serve-able.
The ambiance was nice- suitable for a seasoned couple’s date spot or a friend. I would bring my parents here to celebrate special occasions. Music was a bit loud for my liking. The washrooms were very clean and looked well-maintained.

Absolutely loved our experience at Tomo! The food was incredible, fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Chef Alan truly outdid himself; every dish was a work of art and bursting with authentic Japanese flavour. The service was just as impressive. Our waitress, Callie, was friendly, attentive, and made the entire meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for authentic Japanese cuisine and top-notch service. Can’t wait to come back!

8 years later, still quite a pleasant experience and yummy food.
We got the taster menu and it was wonderful.
We really like the scallops, especially the onigiri scallop, the meticulous cuts on the fish really enhances the flavour profile.
Wagyu is always yummy and such a soft texture.
The drinks were quite tasty as well.
Those are actually candles on the walls, they started to die out towards the end of the night, it was interesting to watch…
Amazing quality, loved their tomahawk & wagyu! Sushi was 10/10 & mushrooms with brussels sprouts were delicious 🔥🔥🔥🔥 We can’t wait to try more on the menu!

Outstanding food. We had the chefs tasting menu and it was spectacular! The quality, flavours and complexity of each dish simply perfect.

We had a wonderful dinner experience at Tomo’s last night. Tomo’s new menu and ambience made our daughter’s birthday one to remember. If you want to elevate your Japanese dinner experience, visit this restaurant. Nothing like it in Ottawa!! Thank you Allen and Joey for making our dinner extra special. We will be back!! Hope the photos do it justice.

Food, drinks and service was incomparable. Everything was perfect and staff was attentive. Check out their specials for half priced steaks or wine, and happy hour daily! A fun and inviting spot for birthdays, large enough to accommodate groups but intimate enough for dates or casual hang outs.

I enjoyed dining at Tomo! The renovation and rework of menu made me rethink Tomo as a classy Japanese restaurant. I had the A5 Wagyu Tataki, Salmon Tataki, Hamachi Jalapeno, Kaarage Chicken, Aburi Salmon Roll, Ginza 6 Roll, Dry-aged Ribeye, A5 Wagyu 4oz, Truffle Fries and Brussels Sprouts. I found the Truffle Fries with their A5 Wagyu offerings as my go-to meal!
