Awesome price and fresh Sushi! I am Sushi Mania Bang for your bucks, this is a very good restaurant read more

This is bulk/generic sushi. I enjoyed it. Ordering a bento box and a roll. I mentioned being allergic to shrimp. There was a shrimp in the tempura. read more

Will not return. I ordered agedashi tofu which was slimey and a yam roll. Both were ordered fresh, yam roll was room temp, the nori paper tasted like it was made well prior and the yam was chewy. Essentially, food was inedible read more

I LOVE tomo sushi. My fiancé and I order skipthedishes weekly from them and they rock!! A+++++++++++

I feel like I'm in the audience of Wok with Yan, Japanese edition. Clearly a skilled sushi master, the chef is burstingly alive and full of eye contact as soon as I walk into this small but impressive take-out. He remembers who I am, and cleverly plays on his words while helping me pick his suggestion of the day: the Mount Benson Roll. We laugh together at least a half dozen times. It's the second time I'm here, and the second time that I feel like I am visiting friends instead of picking up lunch. I can see the whole kitchen, where everybody, including the shy girl behind the cash register, has dressed the part. I can see that this retail space used to be something else, but there are just enough decorative Japanese wood post and beams, kimonos and paper dividers to make me believe that the owner cares to be authentic without taking himself too seriously. There are a few tables and a bar by the full size window. If you're in a hurry, there are rolls ready in the chest fridge, but I prefer my sushi made fresh in front of me. On to the Mount Benson. Named after the local mountain that dominates the view from the shop, I expect a dumbed-down roll meant for a Canadian palate, but discover an explosion of tuna, salmon, avocado, roe, sweet and spicy sauce. Half the fun of sushi for me is to torture myself with a bit too much wasabi, but I soon decide to forget about the wasabi, this sushi is way too good. In fact, I have never had a better roll in town. The spicy tuna, too, was fresh, rich, well balanced and left me wanting for nothing. For its size, Nanaimo has some great sushi spots. While the other guys may have more elaborate restaurants, Tomo Sushi is hands down the best sushi in Nanaimo. Practice your chopstick grip; your lunch is ready to roll. read more

Awesome take-out sushi joint! What gives this place 5 stars is the amazing service my cousin and I received. My cousin can't have gluten, even a little, and the chef was so knowledgeable and helpful that we were just so amazed. The chef knew all about hidden sources of gluten and told my cousin what she could and couldn't have, and offered to make the spicy sauce for our "hockey night platter" without any gluten. He made everything fresh for us right there, was very fast, and joked and chatted with us the whole time. The friendly girl at the till was also polite and wonderful. The chef even made the California rolls with real crab at no extra charge so my cousin could eat those, too. It was so nice. They also carry wheat-free soy sauce in packets, should you not have any at home. What other sushi place does that? Seriously. We learned that tobiko (the tiny fish roe) comes packed with soy in it, and contains wheat. Who knew? My cousin sure didn't and now knows why she was getting sick from some sushi. So the super awesome chef packaged the tobiko in a little container in case the boys wanted to add some to their rolls when we got home. The big platter of rolls that fed four of us only came to $30 and change. Sweet deal. When we got home we noticed that there was a post-it note on the top of the box that read "Dynamite roll and fish roe contain wheat". Awww. read more

Walked in, walked out. Smelt funny.... Not a fan, prices were also high. I dunno about this place. Nanaimo and Sushi mustn't do well together. Try at your own will........ read more

Quick fresh sushi. Best we had on the island so far. Simple menus well priced. read more

It sucks that it's closed Sunday. I think that's pretty ridiculous. Apparently they used to be open Sundays and now they're not. What I've ordered made fresh has been delicious. What I've bought off the wall has been terrible. Dry rice and a but funky. Not cool... Incredibly good prices though. They have that going for them for sure. Delicious fresh made sushi at affordable prices is what I appreciate this place for. read more

Sushi was mediocre at best and chicken donburi arrived ice cold with chicken that looked like it was boiled. Save your money and don't order from here. read more

If I could give 0 star, I would. The owner of the business was ridiculously rude to his employees and made me very uncomfortable to be in the restaurant. Overall atmosphere of the quaint shop was destroyed by the overbearing and condescending attitude displayed. Will not be returning. read more

We found this place by accident, a happy accident! We ate in, not much seating. Looks like most people go there for take out. The sushi was fresh and very delicious. Disappointed that they didn't have teriyaki. Would definitely eat there again. read more

I tried this place twice because i keep hearing how good it is and twice it has been horrible! For me, it's the suyshi rice and qualiy of the fish that makes goos sushi and they don't have either....rice was bland and tasteless and fish was not so fresh.....Definite pass. read more

It used to be my favourite place but haven't returned after the last time. The was a hair in a girls tea and they forgot about our order. When they gave it to us it was an investigation to see if we paid, which we did about 40 minutes prior. I vote it 4/5 because I used to love it. Great philly rolls! read more

Perfect place for having a nice snack or grabbing something to go. Live the yams sushi. Friendly staff!

I often grab lunch from the pre made sushi case and it's always decent for what it is. I ordered a big platter and they were accommodating with substitutions and it was really good when made fresh to order. We don't eat uncooked fish so I can't comment on that but I find it to be consistently good, and excellent when made to order read more

Great food good prices! I recommend ordering fresh rolls (the refrigerated ones are not bad, however, you do not know if they have been there for 15 minutes or 1 hour), it only takes a couple minutes to recieve a fresh order. read more

Love the sushi at tomo! We always order fresh but they have ready to go in the cold case. Yum!
