Tomo II Roll
Marilyn R.

Tomo Sushi consistently provides an exceptional dining experience that I always look forward to when I am in the vicinity. The food is delightful, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is truly perfect.

Three Rolls Combo:   Spicy Salmon Roll  Spicy Tuna Roll with crunch   Shrimp Tempura Roll
Rushell R.

.I had tried my two pieces they tasted off not like sweet and fresh but salty and overly wet .My partner shared some rolls the shrimp tempura was good but the tuna wasn't even chopped fully for the spicy tuna crunch nor was there any crunch ! Then the spicy salmon was not spicy and tasted off we proceeded to spit it out !!!(tasted spoiled ) .Lastly my partner paid and we headed to walk out my partner was called back by the waitress to put a tip ! As she pointed to the two higher tip pricing that she demanded he had to put one down

I can see why this place has an average rating as they have both average food and mediocre service. I perused the menu and ordered a bento box, I then wanted to wash my hands in the restroom. But the water wasn't even turned on or rather wasn't working. I was quite confused and rather turned off by it. I told the staff, and they were scrambling to make it work. Instead of turning it on, they gave me a bucket of water. That was surprising. Since food was already ordered, I decided to stay. Otherwise, I would've left. They have lunch specials, which include the weekends, so I decided upon a bento box. It came with your choice of main meat and different sides. I chose the beef negimaki since I wanted to try something different. Overall, I was okay with the meal. It was very filling. However, I wouldn't go back as there are other sushi spots with better service, and the bathroom situation turned me off.

I'm baffled as to how all these five star reviews came to light. I sincerely they're genuine and tasted authentic and proper sushi. I've written hundreds of reviews on Google and at least dozens on sushi and I'm trying to refrain from writing too much because the more I write, the lower the score will be. Let's just say some of my sashimi was frozen slices and miso soup was more like miso water. Let me just stop at that. The two star is due to affordability and their friendly staff.

Salmon Avo Roll

Place sits on Queens Blvd, diagonally from Popeyes and next door to a Philippino store and restaurant. They have got a couple of booths to the right and few tables to the left with a long bench up against the wall as for seating. I believe there's extra seating for people who wanna be at the sushi bar. Our server was friendly and seemed knowledgeable. The ambiance was a bit dim for my liking. The food was average. There was one type of fish among our sushi platter that tasted a bit earthy (it was kinda white in color... dunno what fish it was). I would definitely, if I ever dined here again, stay away from the volcano roll. No one in my party liked it. It was sort of fried/all cooked and dry.

Sushi Party B
Moeka S.

Got a delivery from this place the other night! We ordered sushi platter B. It came with miso soup and salad for two people and what you see in the pic. The fish was fresh and YUM. And the ginger was good, too which is always a plus. The downside was the rice, which wasn't prepared right in my opinion and the rice was a little on the larger size. I could just be being TOO picky but I really love sushi too much. For the price is the platter and the amount of food we got with such fresh fish, I really enjoyed the deal.

Great and prompt delivery. Fresh fish and aesthetically appealing platter. Abundant soy sauce and sides provided.

Three Rolls Combo: Eel Avocado Roll, Salmon Avo Roll, Spicy Salmon Roll
Karen C.

Solid sushi at reasonable prices! I highly recommend getting the spicy salmon roll. The flavor and texture are great plus it's a good portion. I came here recently with my mom and we had leftovers both times. Their salad dressing is delicious and although this may be a little blasphemous, I even dipped some of my sushi in it. I think the servers knew how much we liked it because they left it behind when they cleared the table haha! It's not my favorite sushi in the neighborhood but Tomo hits the spot when I get a craving, especially that $15 3 roll combo. The service is amazing and whenever I've come there's always been a table, so no wait! Would recommend checking out Tomo if you're in the area.

Place was quiet for early Friday dinner, ordered the Chicken Cheese Maki Katsu. Was hot and delicious. Waitress was attentive and kind, will be back to try the sushi.

My go to Japanese restaurant whenever I crave for sushi and sashimi. Great place to bringing a date or with family. Great customer service and the foods are always fresh!

Poke bowl
Kenny L.

Decent food for a decent price. Used to come here more often while I was living in the area. Decided to try recently and was surprised they offered a few new options including a poke bowl. Tried it and overall decent, everything was fresh and tasty, needed slightly more sauce for ease of mixing but good portions.

Rainbow roll
Kevin B.

Ordered the dragon roll and chicken tempura one of my favorites to try my girlfriend loves this place not just for the food but for their service and kindness. 10/10 place to come eat sushi on a lowkey date night.

Came here with Miah because I've been craving sushi. They have a lot of vegetable rolls so had plenty to choose from. Probably the only good thing about this place. The taste of the roll was ok. Nothing I'd wanna keep coming back to. Rolls fall apart quickly too. Wait time was also super long. My friend ordered a teriyaki dish and some rolls, while I got some other rolls. Her teriyaki came but the rolls didnt come until after she's almost done with her meal. I mean if you have two customers there, why would you hold of the food just because one of the customers ordered two meals? Also we specifically asked for no onions on her teriyaki. Even repeated it a few time to confirm. Yet when the food comes there's a mountain of onion on her plate. Only saving grace is having Ramune.

Everything tasted weird and I felt nauseous all night. Don't risk it. The ginger dressing on the salad was good.

Came here today to celebrate mothers day. I got a reservation 2 days ago. Once you arrive, they…read moregive your a table right away depending on the time you reserve. They ask that you bring the full party. The mood here is calm and not as noisy as other resturants. This spot has 2 dinning areas. You pick from an ipad. Since today counts as a holiday, it was around 43$ pp paying cash totaling 57$ pp after tax and tip. I come to Akino everytime I come to elmhurst. The food here is the same quality and has not downgraded. The service here is pretty quick. When your time is almost up, they ask if you finish ordering. I love ordering their sashimi. I advice you to get as much as you can eat on the first round. Overall another good experience. And I will come back again.

Amazing AYCE sushi! This sushi spot in Elmhurst is one of the best known AYCE sushi in New…read moreYork--and they have a second location in Flushing. Service here is great and if you pay in cash, there is a slight discount. I came during their lunch deal and it was ~$30pp for AYCE sushi. You get an iPad to order and you can order as much as you want, and they bring out your food fairly quick. We got a variety of their nigiri, a couple of their rolls, and tried a bunch of their appetizers. I wasn't the biggest fan of their takoyaki or their sushi pizza as I felt that it was mostly just flour and rice--with barely any sauce. On the other hand, their unagi fried rice was flavorful, their nigiri and rolls had an amazing fish:rice ratio, and their fried scallops were delicious. Overall, unbeatable deal and solid quality sushi. Would definitely come back!

My go-to sushi spot when I'm in Woodside. The customer service given by the waitstaff is always on…read morepoint and very pleasant to deal with. The lunch specials are great and to offer a lunch menu (2 rolls for $12.50 and 3 rolls for $15.50) everyday can't be beat. The sushi is consistently fresh and whether you choose soup or salad with your lunch, you won't be disappointed. Wishing TJ Asian Bistro continued success!!

A friend and I met here for lunch and had a great time. We found street parking with no issues…read more However, I could see parking being an issue during busy hours. The staff were amazing, very attentive, and welcoming. I was shocked at how busy it was around 1:30pm, which was a good sign that the food was good. They have an extensive Asian/sushi menu, including a separate lunch special menu. We both ordered the lunch special that included a soup, small salad and option of meat, rice, and a sushi/California roll. I don't eat seafood, so I ordered the cucumber roll, and my friend had the avocado roll. This was my first time eating three cucumber rolls, and surprisingly, it was tasty. I enjoyed my entire meal, and it was fulfilling. I was able to take a small to go bag of my rice and teriyaki chicken. My friend ate all of hers and we were both satisfied with our meal and the service. We both enjoyed our refills of the hot tea throughout our meal, and you had the option of water as well. This is definitely a cool spot to check out, and I would definitely return to check out some other menu items.

So my new thing is ordering uber eats . Don't get me wrong, I love to cook; i could YELP myself lol…read morebut I love that I can try venues without having to find someone to go with, reservations, finding something to wear, parking, etc so with that said I will be trying new venues. I decided to try sushi on this adventure. I learned a while ago that not all sushi is raw. I dont like raw food. I added in the instructions to make sure nothing is raw or spicy and the obliged. I pd for the fast delivery because cant really heat sushi and wow it was fast. Took them 17mins to arrive and took me 7 to eat it lol. All was good!

I came in to order a few rolls. I initially wanted to just put in an order and have them split each…read moreroll in half to put in two containers. For example, if one roll has eight pieces I wanted them to put four pieces in each container. The lady was very nice, but she said they could not do that. So I ordered the rolls to stay and then asked for two containers and split them up myself. While I was waiting, they gave me a complementary piece of fish tempura. It was very tasty. I ordered the Queen's roll and the Myrtle Ave roll to split. I ordered this for someone who does not like Law fish. I personally prefer raw fish. Then I got a California roll and a tuna roll. I thought the Myrtle Avenue roll was kind of bland. The mango on it didn't taste sweet enough. It really didn't have much going on. I thought the queen's role was very good. California rolls are California rolls. lol The tuna roll was a weird color. Maybe it was fatty tuna? I'm not sure. Usually when I order a Tuna roll the tuna is a nice bright, dark color. This tuna roll was very dull and grayish. I tried it and it tasted OK. But I just felt like it was sketchy so I wound up throwing it away. I think I would definitely come back and dine in. I don't know if I would ever order food to go again.
