Most Disliked
Some diners point out that portion sizes, particularly for ramen, could be larger, leaving them wanting more after a meal. The restaurant can get bustling on weekends, especially during peak lunch hours, leading to longer wait times for a table. While the ambiance is cozy, some have mentioned that noise levels can rise during busy periods, detracting from a peaceful dining experience. Additionally, street parking can be limited during peak hours, which might pose a challenge for visitors.

My visit to Tomi Sushi Bar was an absolute delight from start to finish! The bento boxes are nothing short of perfection—each one is a beautifully crafted meal that feels like a culinary journey. I ordered the sushi and tempura bento, and every component was exceptional: the sashimi melted in my mouth, the tempura was light and crispy, and the teriyaki salmon was glazed to sweet, savory perfection. The variety and attention to detail in each compartment (fresh sushi rolls, tangy pickled veggies, and even a delicate miso soup) made it both visually stunning and incredibly satisfying. What truly elevated the experience was the outstanding service. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the menu. Our server offered thoughtful recommendations and checked in just enough to ensure we had everything we needed without feeling intrusive. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall charm of the meal. If you’re looking for a place that combines authentic flavors, artistry, and hospitality, Tomi Sushi Bar is a must-visit. This spot has earned a loyal customer—I can’t wait to return! 🍣✨
