Because it was raining, we and most other customers chose to sit inside. Perhaps I ordered the wrong one (ramen with gyoza, the gyoza comes on the side) but it was actually pho. See the photo. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't ramen either. I ate it anyway. The gyoza filling was edible but also wasn't completely satisfying. I was very happy with the Genmai tea which came very hot. I would try the other ramen places in town before coming back and ordering something else on the menu to see if it comes close to ramen.

If you don't know what ramen is at all, you might be ok with what they serve at this restaurant…read more Although the menu of ramen looks varied and authentic, listing a lineup of familiar ramen names like tonkatsu, shoyu, and salt ramen that will make any ramen aficionado salivate just by reading them, don't get too excited. We ordered a tonkatsu and two chashu shoyus, expecting the usual fragrant umami of a clear brown soy sauce based broth for the shoyu and a more fiery reddish spicy miso broth for the tonkatsu as is unique to each dish, and instead got three bowls of what looked like a clearer version of miso soup with slightly different ingredients like egg or sprouts topping each one. The chashu was not slices of bbq-d pork like you would expect, but paper-thin sliced *boiled* meat that covered the entire dish like you would find in a southeast Asian soup like pho--the soup even tasted a little bit like a light chicken broth for pho--and the noodles were unfortunately like overcooked angel hair pasta. The gyozas we ordered were charred and overcooked as well, but at least the wilted spinach salad was pretty tasty with its soy ginger mayo sauce. The staff was also very friendly. All in all, it didn't taste awful, but it wasn't Japanese either, let alone ramen. Not by a long shot.

We tried the tonkotsu pork belly ramen. It wasn't really Japanese style, and somehow the broth and the meat were very sweet. Not really how we like it. Was sugar added to the broth? We added spicy rayu to counteract the sweetness which remedied the taste but not the uneasy feeling of eating unnecessary sugar. It also didn't look like the photo in the advertisement (but I guess that's usually the case?). During pickup, the staff were very nice, and everything was packaged nicely and ready to go. Regarding consideration of the environment, they gave us actual bowls (and didn't ask for them back it seems?), which was a big plus in our eyes. We will reuse the bowls many times for ramen and other soup at home. The sushi was good, but we were surprised that the tuna maki had cooked tuna in it (from the can?) instead of raw. I think we didn't read the menu correctly so we will be more careful next time. The yakisoba was a good but not quite like the street food version at a festival in Japan. It was more like the package kind with a powdered sauce mix... Overall, the food was ok. We plan to get ramen one more time to give a second chance and try another one (maybe one of the chicken ramen options) and so we have a set of 4 bowls.

This has been a long time coming since I've been living in Hannover for five years now. I've been a…read moreregular here since 2011 when my husband and I scoured our surroundings for an authentic sushi restaurant to rival what we had in southern California. Having saved us from the brutal winter blues many a time, Sushi-Do is now our go-to mom and pop owned sushi restaurant and is the only one in Hannover that rivals the small mom-and-pop joints you can find in SoCal. Plus, they deliver! Although Sushi-Do doesn't have all the bells and whistles--a menu of hundreds of crazy rolls and a chic atmosphere--what they don't have they make up with their superbly crafted textbook-perfect sushi. Sushi-Do, how do I love thee, let me count the ways. 1. The rice is always the correct temperature, which is to say as warm as the hand of the sushi chef who is supposed to lovingly, yes lovingly, cup the top of the slice of fish to form it to the small block of rice and hold it there for a few seconds. Did you know it takes at least two years of rice making training before a sushi chef can even begin to work with fish? This is the single most important part of a piece of nigiri and I can't tell you how many places serve the rice cold, overcooked, or falling apart. If you see a place with rice kernel droppings all over the plates they serve you, run. 2. The fish is sliced correctly on the grain and precision placed on the rolls or nigiri. With sushi it's the little details that are so hard to master. Have you ever tried to eat beef sliced the wrong way? It's the same with fish. 3. Purveyors of freshness. I have eaten at several places in Hannover where I've ordered my favorites, uni or ikura, and have had to spit the food out on my plate because the seafood was old or even worse, rancid. If the more exotic things don't have a good turnaround, just leave them off the menu, guys! I won't fault you for having a smaller menu. Sushi-Do knows this and doesn't even try to put anything on their menu that they can't get fresh. 4. Artful and skilled presentation. Never too much, but just enough to let you know the chef is aware that you have eyes. 5. Flexibility, friendliness, and consideration. The staff and owners are lovely people, always friendly. I really missed my spicy scallop hand roll when I moved here and couldn't find it on the menu anywhere. I saw that Sushi-Do did spicy tuna and had really fresh scallops so I asked if they could make me one and they did. It has since been added to the menu because I order it every single time. They adhere to the Japanese hospitality code and aim to please. 6. Did I mention they deliver? Skip the trudge through the snow. This has saved me many a dreary evening when I had to work late at home and needed a sushi fix.

We ordered over the phone as there does not seem to be any online option. The food was ready when we arrived at the scheduled time. It was very busy with locals picking up and seems to be a popular neighborhood spot. The decor inside was nice, cozy, and elegant, and I'm not sure why some of the other reviews say the inside is dingy. Overall the food was good and in some cases is prepared in more of a Chinese style. If you have tried these dishes in Japan, manage your expectations. Yakitori - very good, really nice quality of chicken. My favorite of it all and highly recommended. It was like in Japan. Unadon - good and recommended when wishing for unadon but remember you are not in Japan. The miso soup it came with was also good. Tempura udon - good and recommended. The tempura was prepared in more of a Chinese style. Okonomiyaki - not really Okonomiyaki and more of a Chinese pancake. Nigiri sushi - good tamago and inari. Agedashidofu - haven't had it like this before but it was ok.

Tomo is a great lunch spot with many nice special lunch options. We had the sashimi and nigiri lunch set (#4), and it was excellent. Unsurprisingly, the nigiri was made correctly like in Japan with wasabi between the fish and rice. There are many donburi dishes on the menu that I hope to try sometime as well as small dishes like at an izakaya. I really liked and recommend the chicken karaage and kimchi. The decor inside the restaurant reminds me of a restaurant in the countryside of Japan with manekineko, tanuki, wooden wall menus in Japanese, and more. It's certainly a cozy spot when you want real Japanese food.
