    I have been coming here for years and it's better than ever. Food is yummy, service is awesome, and they give you nice portions. I had the teriyaki chicken with white rice. Simple yet so good.

    Appears to be a husband and wife team. Customer service was outstanding. It's a small place so don't bring a big party. Take a look at the menu prior to deciding to eat here. They do not have a large variety of sushi, seems like most of it is shrimp. HOWEVER! If you like the menu you will love the food. I would go back if I just happen to be in the area. Check it out for yourself though

    One server was super out of it like she didn't know where she was, other one was super short and rude. Both servers were inattentive and messed up orders. Had to send my shrimp noodles back as they were mushy, flavorless, and my shrimp was colder than my noodles. I came with six people and Everything, minus the fried appetizers were just not good it was all mediocre. The sushi was not rolled properly so it just fell apart.. Wouldn't recommend, wouldn't return.

    We were craving ramen and found this little whole in the wall and wow the ramen was sooo good. We got the spicy miso ramen and it had tons of flavor and the perfect kick. I also got a roll and it was honestly Too big of pieces but was still pretty good. We also got spicy California roll and that was really good and fresh.

    The west valley has such limited options for ramen and good sushi so I thought I'd give this spot a try! Unfortunately, the only thing I enjoyed were the fried dumplings. The tonkotsu ramen, spicy California roll, & the red tiger rolls were all disappointing. The service was nice and friendly, we came in on a Friday night at it took 20+min to get our food. Overall, I wouldn't come back or recommend this spot

    First time coming to this place and the food was great. My friend and I enjoyed our food quite a lot. The floor was clean and all of the tables were set up nicely, which was nice. I would like to say that when we both asked for eel sauce, our server gave us a small portion. I understand if there is a shortage, but we barely had enough to finish our rolls. Also, our server gave us the check a little early and seemed like she wanted us to get out of there. I don't know if I'll want to come back. The food was good, but the service wasn't the greatest.

    Came here mainly for the tonkutsu ramen. Got spicy edamame, gyoza, chef Ben roll, & cheese balls. Spicy edamame was kinda undercooked, gyoza was good but just had to much liquid inside, cheese balls slapped, & the roll was aight. The ramen broth was kinda sus, noodles were alright, but props to the generous amount of meat and good flavor, as well as the egg(: Overall it was ok, but I would get just the balls & the gyoza

    Randomly found this place and stopped by on a Saturday night! It's super cute and small but it's definitely worth it , they have happy hour and we were able to make it ! Tried their spicy edamame and delicious spring rolls! Also tried their spicy salmon roll that was super tasty! And to end our meal we had strawberry Mochi! Soooo good!

    3 Piece Shrimp Tempura $6.99 but delicious

    Last time I went some of the prices had increased but not outrageously. Their sushi rice tastes so authentic, love the tempura and California roll is one of my favorite things to get. I prefer a little more sauce than what's offered in the mini teriyaki chicken bowls but can ask for extra. Same owner from what I can tell after eating here for years. Happy to support local businesses such as this! I find calling in an order for pickup to be a smooth, seamless experience and haven't had a wrong order ever.

    Chef Bens is what you would call a hole in the wall goldmine! A tiny quaint building with maybe 8 total tables. A family owned establishment with amazing prices and seriously some of the best tasting sushi rolls on the westside. Happy hour runs all day Saturday and Sunday and contains a huge amount of options. Service and just overall hospitality was top notch. By far I will be frequenting this baby very often.

    Decided to look for a ramen spot on the west side. Ordered spicy tuna roll and spicy edamame for apps and tonkotsu ramen and spicy miso ramen as entree. - The roll was good but didn't see any reduced sodium soy sauce. Adequate amount of tuna in the roll as well. - Spicy edamame were not fully cooked but good seasoning - Ramen bowls were good in size, broth tasted very good in the beginning however, the noodles were so mealy and starchy that the broth after a minute tasted really mealy and gritty. What a shame to have these noodles in there, ruining the dish. - wait staff seemed like they didn't want to be here on a Sat night :(

    The sushi was okay: tasted fresh, solid portions, and made to order (they did have piles of…read moreCalifornia rolls pre-made sitting on the counter). The restaurant wasn't that busy for the lunch rush, and the waitress was very attentive and helpful. The only downsides I experienced was that there was no hot water running in the bathroom that I could tell, and no paper towels were available to dry my hands or open the bathroom door with. I also had a small fly hovering around me while I ate (I was inside). Thinking about this experience a little deeper however (after the bill) changed things for me a bit. Was the food okay? Yes, I think... Was it noteworthy? Not really. The stacks of premade rolls sitting on the counter made me think twice about ever eating here again. I paid around $45 for lunch after tax and tip. I ordered 6 pieces of nigiri, a tempura roll, a small bowl of miso soup, and an iced tea. I don't consider this anything crazy or over the top. Given this price point I expect hot water and paper towels in the bathrooms, especially if employees who are handling our food use those facilities. 1-star, won't be back... oh, and the soy sauce bottle was literally stuck to the counter. I had to pry it off.

    Stopped by Tomo on Super Bowl Sunday. They had the game playing on one of the TVs, but it was…read morefairly quiet with only a couple of other diners. I love the dark, moody lighting inside. The service was quick and friendly. I ordered Miso Soup ($2.00), which was warm and served as a nice palette cleanser. Baked Mussels ($8.25), loaded with spicy mayo, masago, green onions, and eel sauce. Probably my favorite dish of the night. Vegas Roll ($10.25) is your typical deep fried roll. My partner ordered the Rock n Roll Baked roll ($12.95). We did have to ask for soy sauce and wasabi, as those were not provided. Overall, the food was delicious, I would revisit and recommend.
