Stumbled upon this place looking for a bento box, discovered they have the sushi thing locked up. Ordered a rice bowl, chef's choice on the fish, surprised me with an amazing Hawaiian Tuna. Melt in your mouth. Had two Saba Nigiri for dessert, yeah, great stuff. Brought the family back a few days later and did not disappoint.
Cozy, laid back, good selection of beer, Sake for miles, though they keep not having my Big Sapporo... ;)
We'll be back.
People are always gushing about Nama, but Tomo has the best sushi you'll find in Knoxville at this price point. Don't pay a premium for the same quality fish somewhere else. Great specials throughout the week, and open late on the weekends. Friendly staff, and a very decent menu with more than a few traditional Japanese dishes. I believe all entrees are cooked to order, so don't rush 'em! Good stuff.
A friend and I dined here April 12, 2022. Tomo had only been reopened for two days and was up and running with spectacular choices in cuisine, had a well stocked bar and excellent customer service. My friend and I were quite pleased with the large portions and the very modest pricing. Be prepared to take home leftovers! I highly recommend this family owned and operated business!
So they need to change their offerings on Yelp because it still says sushi. When we went last night they no longer have sushi and only have hibachi, ramen and poke.
We stayed because we had a Groupon to use otherwise we probably would have gone somewhere else because we actually wanted sushi.
My husband and I got the shrimp hibachi which was good. My girls split a tempura ramen. Also pretty good.
Overall the food was fine and I would give them a 3.5 out of 5 because it was not what we expected and thus I rounded it up to 4. Basically even if you eat there it’s like take out. They bring your food and you do all the clean up and put your dishes up and everything. I am guessing corona has made them change their business model so they can have as few workers as possible and have easier dishes to make.
We probably won’t be back if they no longer have sushi. Hopefully they will bring it back. Until then, they should update their main offerings on their online presence.
Tonight was the first time my husband and I tried this little gem tucked away in a shopping center just past West Town Mall. The super nice gentleman who took our order was so patient! I chose a build-your-own poke bowl and he went out of his way to customize it for me, even substituting chicken for tuna. My husband had the Tempura Ramen and usually sneezes after eatingvout becsuse of the presevatives in the food. He did not sneeze once!!! The food was AMAZING. I asked for a to-go box for my leftovers and I told the gentleman who had helped us my food was amazing and I hope I can remember the options I requested next time on my bowl so I could get it the same way, and he said, not to worry, he would help! Great atmosphere, very casual but quaint and cozy. We are looking forward to our next visit!
This was me and my boyfriends first time going and it was soooo good!! I had the chicken ramen and he got a build your own poke bowl. You get a ton of food for the price. Both were equally amazing, will be going back!
