Tomo Japanese Steak House Sushi

Thank you, thank you so much! This is a new place to me I love it. Traditional Japanese is some of my favorite food this place is cozy. Please take everyone you know. This spot has lots of fun shops surrounding it to also visit.Food: 5/5

Being fair, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. I went during lunch, and they only offered me the lunch menu, which was literally one-sided plastic menu. I had never been before, so I wasn't sure of all the ins and outs. The waiter didn't ask if I had been there before they just said hibachi or regular table. Once I said table, he gave me the menu, and I had to figure it out. Everything was tasteless except the spring roll. The rice was so dry. The food was hot, but I just did not enjoy it at all. Everything on the lunch menu comes in this little tray unless u order Hibachi. My friend ordered teriyaki chicken. I can't find the picture, but it was similar to mine, but the chicken was a breaat strip slicked with sauce poured on top laying on the rice. It was pretty quiet inside. The workers were strictly business, not really engaging at all. I'd consider going back for dinner but for lunch big no for me. As we were leaving, a lady had come in and requested a regular menu. Looks like they had plenty of options. It would've been nice if they at least gave us one regular menu to let us decide what we wanted to order.

It's was great. Only issue was that food was not evenly seasonedFood: 4/5

I don't like leaving bad reviews, I really don't, but I feel like I have to this time. The 3 of us went (myself, my partner, and our adult kid) and ordered crab rangoons, a 2 piece pork egg roll, and our kid had teriyaki chicken while we ordered the Volcano roll, the sweet potato roll, and the Spider roll.The rangoons were fine- a bit sweet, but whatever, they're rangoons. Our kid was somewhat nonplussed by the egg rolls, but didn't have any issues with them.The main courses had serious issues. I don't know what sauce was used for the chicken, but it was not teriyaki. The two strongest notes were dashi and sake. No mirin, no sugar, no sesame oil- I have no idea what they did to make it brown. It wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't teriyaki. The sushi, on the other hand, was bland. Weirdly bland crab, bland sweet potato, bland cucumber somehow. The rice wasn't fermented or rinsed properly prior to being prepared.A major issue (and not one I ever expected at a sushi place) was alcohol as a part of presentation. The volcano roll was brought out on a plate oversaturated with sauces of various types set as part of the plating, which is fine, and then doused with what ended up tasting like VODKA, and lit on fire. The vodka leaked into the sushi, basically overpowering all the pieces I had. What's worse is my partner has an allergy to alcohol and non lactobacillic fermented products (so booze and vinegar, basically) and gave her an allergic reaction- not life threatening, but incredibly uncomfortable. Our kid did not finish the teriyaki, we did not finish the sushi, everyone left hungry (abd would have anyway based on the portions we got for the price). After tip it was $84.19, and we stopped at a McDonalds after.Presentation is important, but a gimmick will cover up sub-par ingredients and food only so far.
