9625 Yonge St, Richmond Hill, ON
It is not always easy to find a decent à la carte Japanese restaurant uptown Toronto as the Richmond Hill and Markham area are mostly known for the many all-you-can-eat sushi places. I recently discovered Tomo Sushi, located in the heart of Yonge Street. I have actually been to Tomo quite a few times now and have never been disappointed with their service. Food wise, I wouldn't say it is the best but it always leaves me quite satisfied. =) The most important thing is that sushi always has to be fresh, if it doesn't, it makes me gag. URGH.
If you want to experience one-of-a-kind rolls, then Tomo is the place for you. I have tried two rolls: "Toronto in Paradise" and "Baked Scallop/Mushroom" roll. Toronto in Paradise, to my surprise, it's actually wrapped in cucumber and not rice so, it is not that filling. This dish is more like art then food to me, it looked so good, that I didn't want to ruin it. The baked scallop/mushroom roll melted in my mouth and it was the kind of roll that I just shoved in my mouth all at once haha! On a side note, I would not recommend the soup they have there: lobster soup, clear soup, wonton soup OR miso soup. I tried the lobster soup because I am a huge fan of lobsters but boy-oh-boy, I felt hustled for a $5 soup. The lobster soup was basically miso soup but with ONE delicate piece of lobster. Nothing special about that I would say.
Overall, I enjoyed eating there, the environment was nice and the waitresses would once in a while, come over and ask us if "everything was okay" & also pour us tea. That's what I call service. The price is a bit more expensive than other restuarants in Richmond Hill, I would say, the price Tomo charge is about the same as other sushi restaurants that can be found in Downtown, Toronto. Was it worth it? Not entirely.
