Tomo's is one of those hidden gems in suburbia where the food is unexpectedly good, you wonder why there isn't a bigger buzz around it. It's a pretty good bet for those times when schelpping into the city is just not feasible. What is extra special about Tomo's is that their offerings go beyond your typical sushi and sashimi joint. They have lovely little apps, grilled fare, and even some home-style dishes.
Tomo's is a very tiny place, maybe about ten tables in all, so there can sometimes be a wait. Best bet is to go before or at the tail end of the dinner rush. They have a BYOB policy, which is nice.
These pictures were taken a while back and were floating in cell phone memory limbo until DJKung was able to retrieve them.
House salad. I recall that this was a mix of watery iceberg and possibly greenleaf lettuce. The ginger sauce was tangy and tasty.
Hmmm. This may have been simmered pork belly in soy sauce, a typical home style dish.
Veggie tempura. From what I remember, it was sweet potato, green beans, okra. It was nice, although our preference is for panko-breaded, as opposed to battered, tempura.
Grilled sardine. Yes, this was pretty fresh that day. Grilling brings out the wonderful briny fish flavor. Yummm. This would've been great with some beer, but we did not have any.
Baked oysters.
I am not sure if this was hamachi (yellowtail tuna), which we like to get. We cleaned off the meat from this one, for sure.
Toro sushi and eel hand roll. DJKung and I were not too impressed by the toro, which was quite lean.
