The menu is solid across the board, but the standout for me is the salmon cakes. They're genuinely exceptional--crispy on the outside, tender inside, and full of rich salmon flavor. The rest of the dishes are always fresh and well-prepared, and the staff is warm and attentive without being intrusive. Whether I'm grabbing a quick bite or having a longer meal with family, the experience is reliably smooth and enjoyable. A dependable, welcoming spot with great food. Tomo is absolutely worth a visit if you're in Arcata.

The workers are all very kind and knowledgeable. They are able to make accommodation or alterations as necessary. Despite that, the food in general leaves more to be desired. The fish is definitely high quality! But perhaps the rice should be a bit more fluffy, and more flavorful. The batter on the tempura was a bit too thick and ultimately caused it to not be cooked all the way. I think the sauces can also be better prepared-- they taste a bit prepackaged and not really homemade. I'd be willing to come again and not order rolls but instead focus on the nigiri or the chirashi bowl.

I'm hoping this helps another vegan out there, or anyone really. We came in for an early ish dinner. At the time it was pretty mellow but that was appreciated because we just needed to relax and enjoy sitting down after hiking the last few days. Something fresh and not too rich where we could take out time and not feel gross. I was curious about the soul options being vegan or not because miso usually isn't, but they had this yummy sounding mushroom and veggie broth soup with vegetables and tofu (I think it's called Kenshin jiru but I might be absolutely butchering that). GET IT! It's not too heavy but has such a great flavor, plus the fresh veggies and bits of raw tofu for protein (they accidentally forgot the tofu but when I asked my server if they could just bring it on the side for me they were super nice about it). I also got some standard edamame and avocado maki roll, both of these were "fine", they did the trick but weren't amazing. My partner had the large hot sake which he loved, and then a tuna maki roll and the omakase nigiri. Same thing with his maki, fine nothing to write home about, but he loooved his omakase. They didn't tell us what was on it but I think it was albacore, salmon, salmon roe, mackerel, yellowtail, and tuna. He said it was some of the best tasting fish/nigiri he's had in a while. Our server was great at refilling our waters and checking in making sure we had everything and was just very sweet, so we appreciated them a lot. We'd definitely recommend!

Not only is the food here relatively affordable, but the portions are generous, and the service is the most friendly I've experienced in this area. The servers and staff are genuinely good humans who I enjoy seeing each time I eat here. You can get plenty of mediocre food all around this area, but Susukino is one of the places I feel confident my money will always be well spent. The restaurant has a swanky, cool vibe. The food is fresh, creative, and authentic. You can't go wrong. I think a lot of people who go out to eat "ramen" are used to what comes in the plastic bags, and are expecting that consistency and high salt level. This is not that ramen.
