They served hot towels before food which felt authentic and a nice touch. The whole place is super clean and put together. One of the courses we got to cook our own wagyu at the table with a hot stone and it was super fun. It felt professional yet fun and warming at the same time. Little bit out of my regular budget but a fun special occasion experience. Jacob is so talented and truly deserves all the success.

We had quite the variety of food (brussels tempura, Larrupin station, gyoza, and yam yemp to name a few of the items). And the Tomodachi was pretty incredible too.

The menu is solid across the board, but the standout for me is the salmon cakes. They're genuinely exceptional--crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of rich salmon flavor. The rest of the dishes are always fresh and well-prepared, and the staff is warm and attentive without being intrusive. Whether I'm grabbing a quick bite or having a longer meal with family, the experience is reliably smooth and enjoyable. A dependable, welcoming spot with great food. Tomo is absolutely worth a visit if you're in Arcata.

The place was clean and bright. Definitely a Japanese "vibe". I sit down at my table, and it was coming toward the end of happy hour, so I decided to order a couple of things off the happy hour menu. I started out with the "mini monsters" a smaller portion of their "monster rolls" I chose the Vegas roll. smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado & shrimp, tempura fried and topped with unagi sauce, , , and their dynamite sauce, and masago roe. . They were amazing. The tempura gave it a nice crunch, you could definitely taste the seafood, and the cream cheese and avocado played along very well. I liked the briny "pop" of the Masago, and the sauces were also very good. The dynamite sauce was not too spicy. Just enough that I knew it was there. I also had three of the grilled oysters, which also came with the dynamite sauce and the Masago on top. The oysters were perfectly grilled, you could tell that they were good quality, oysters, and again, the sauce and the Masago added to the flavor. I also liked the "greens" on top. They provided a nice pot of freshness. For dessert, I had the chocolate peanut butter mochi. The chocolate shell played very well with the creamy peanut butter ice cream . Just a fantastic ending to a great meal. The prices at the place are reasonable, even more than this case, as it was the happy hour. . A great meal, for a good price. Thanks!

They charged me a 20% "large party" fee for my wife and I and our 3 young children! Most places…read moreonly charge a large party fee if you are 6 people or over. We came to eat here after a long drive up from the Bay Area. There was no one there but they had us wait for about 15 minutes to be seated (I walk with a cane and have trouble standing). The service was very slow and the bento boxes came very late after everyone else was already done with the sushi and oysters. The kids were very fussy waiting forever for the bento boxes. The sushi was awful! The servers were all "non-Asian" and I'm assuming the kitchen staff was "non-Asian" as well because of the poor food. Very bad experience overall. Will not be returning. Cost us $155 to feed our little family.

It's been difficult traveling and finding good vegan options, especially with smaller towns that…read morehave lots of hours/days they aren't open, especially "Off season". I'm hoping this helps another vegan out there, or anyone really. We came in for an early ish dinner. At the time it was pretty mellow but that was appreciated because we just needed to relax and enjoy sitting down after hiking the last few days. Something fresh and not too rich where we could take out time and not feel gross. I was curious about the soul options being vegan or not because miso usually isn't, but they had this yummy sounding mushroom and veggie broth soup with vegetables and tofu (I think it's called Kenshin jiru but I might be absolutely butchering that). GET IT! It's not too heavy but has such a great flavor, plus the fresh veggies and bits of raw tofu for protein (they accidentally forgot the tofu but when I asked my server if they could just bring it on the side for me they were super nice about it). I also got some standard edamame and avocado maki roll, both of these were "fine", they did the trick but weren't amazing. My partner had the large hot sake which he loved, and then a tuna maki roll and the omakase nigiri. Same thing with his maki, fine nothing to write home about, but he loooved his omakase. They didn't tell us what was on it but I think it was albacore, salmon, salmon roe, mackerel, yellowtail, and tuna. He said it was some of the best tasting fish/nigiri he's had in a while. Our server was great at refilling our waters and checking in making sure we had everything and was just very sweet, so we appreciated them a lot. We'd definitely recommend!

We were the only two in the restaurant and service was attentive at first when we got seated but…read morethat's it. Food took FOREVER. We ordered a lot but it took far too long especially being the only two people in the entire place. The sushi rice was over handled and gummy. Never even asked if we wanted a water refill as my glass was empty. The roller (while we were waiting for our rolls) and wait staff then owner talked too much instead of caring for paying customers. I asked for the bill from across the room and that was acknowledged but it never came. I had to ask again and was pretty upset at that point. Zero tip.
