This place is super overrated. South Bay & Peninsula Yelp has been kinda letting me down with the review inaccuracy lately. /sigh. While not terrible, this place is just exceedingly average (at best). It was kind of annoying to be told i needed to wear a mask for the 3 foot walk from the door to my table (when clearly everyone inside is maskless while eating). I actually watched the hostess send a couple away to get their masks before she'd seat them similarly. It's been over a month since the CDC & state said that fully vaccinated peeps could skip the masks (I got vaxxed 4 months ago...), but the shops in Mt View seem to be hanging on to the old mandates for some reason. Anyway, on to the rest of my dinner... This place also closes early (8pm), like many sushi spots (& other restos) in the area, so fair warning. As a transplanted Cali native who was in NYC for the prior 15 years, I don't think I'll ever get used to places ending dinner service before the sun has even gone done, but whatever. Senior citizen sushi dinner, here we go. I got the "extra special" chirashi bowl, which was actually a pretty good assortment of fish, at a decent price ($31), including: Uni (1 small lobe- I THINK it may have been Santa Barbara urchin...pretty good), Ikura (tiny scoop...Nothing to write home about. Typically salty salmon eggs from a jar...I wish I could find the in-house marinated zuke ikura more often), Ama Ebi (ok...but you could feel from the texture- kinda sticky- it wasn't the freshest), kanpachi (pretty good), maguro (oddly cut, but good flavor), Hirame (I think...might have been Tai), Toro (1 pc VERY good. Fatty in the right way, cut properly, very tender & flavorful), Salmon belly (decent, tho cut a bit wrong, so I had to chew thru some leftover skin on my piece), unagi (good, tho cold by the time I got to it. Not sure if it was ever hot), a piece of what looked like MAYBE Saba skin or something, oddly? Dunno. & then a little pocket of seaweed & some marinated mushrooms, with 2 PCs of tamago (sweet omelette) for "dessert", heh. They tossed a couple slices of fish cake in there as well, which was a first for me to see in a chirashi bowl, so skipped it. Not a fan. My main complaint with the chirashi was the layout/ presentation. It was just a totally haphazard pile of fish randomly placed on top of other fish, sometimes 3-4 types deep. That's a no-no. If you toss a big slab of salmon toro on top of other fish, guess what? Everything kinda tastes like salmon, from all the oil. The fish should be laid out with SOME thought & order &, ideally, a bit of separation either with space or shiso leaf or something. This thing just looked like a lazy clump of fish slices on sticky rice (no sushi seasoning/ vinegar that I could taste) I also ordered fresh wasabi for the bowl, which was a pleasant surprise to see on the menu (tho they still tossed the wasabi paste stuff IN the chirashi bowl for some reason, with way too little gari/ ginger). They fried the ama ebi head & served it, which is always a nice touch, but they made the cardinal sin of not removing the bitter & gross stomach from the head, prior to frying. So, I bit in & hit that nastiness & it was a wrap for that portion. I was excited to see crispy grilled chicken skin on the menu, tori kawa, but these skewers were also a "miss" as the skin was chewy & undercooked, instead of nice & dry & crispy/ salty. Another half bite & done. Towards the end of the meal, they finally brought the Kanpachi Kama I had ordered when I first walked in (see pic). While super cheap at $11, this thing was ALL wrong. First, it was an entire half of a fish head, not the "collar" (area between head & gills), which Kama should be. Second, it was served upside down, with the gross fisheye staring at me, instead of crispy meat side up. Lastly, the meat didnt have the nice, crispy/ salty "shell" over the meat, that locks in the flavor when you cook it right, keeping the meat beneath nice & fatty/ juicy. It was also served on a leaf of supremely wilted & gross butter lettuce, or something, which only further detracted from the already lousy presentation. No lemon, no salt, no torashi red pepper...so, I asked for all 3. Meat was mediocre, & there wasn't much of it anyway, since the serving was mostly head, so I took a couple bites & then just pushed it away. I politely told my server that this was a fish head, not Kama, & she just responded "well, that's how we do it here". Ok, well that's wrong. List it as "Kanpachi half a fish head" on the menu then, cuz Kama it ain't...woulda been nice to have it taken off the bill, but since it was only $11, whatever... Overall it was a decent meal, & didn't cost a fortune because of how I ordered it, but everything was a bit "off", & overall I left pretty disappointed & underwhelmed. This certainly did not seem like a 4.5 star spot, worthy of thousands of glowing reviews, IMHO. If you know sushi, adjust your expectations waaaay down.u read more

Sushi Tomi - This is not kampachi "Kama". This is half a fish-head. No thanks...I just need the collar, which is what you are typically served. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

Went here on a Monday evening and there were tons of people already waiting in line! The wait was about 30 minutes so my friend and I just walked down Castro and enjoyed the refreshing night to pass time. Soon enough, we were seated and we both ordered the extra special chirashi bowl. While on the pricier side of things ($30), it is well worth it. Each cut was insanely thick and tasted like heaven in my mouth. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again. It also comes with miso soup which is a classic this place did no wrong with. The bowl is plenty filling and has got to be the best thing I've eaten in a long while. We weren't checked on too often, so it would've been nice to have our waters filled a little quicker. The chirashi bowl is just so good that I have to give this place 5 stars still. I recommend this place to anyone looking to eat some mouth watering sushi!!! read more

Sushi Tomi - Extra special chirashi bowl. So SO GOOD!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

The quality of the sushi is excellent. The fish is fresh. There is no fishy or foul taste to the fish. It melts in your mouth and is delicious. The service is also good. Surprisingly, there was no wait here when we went. Parking is also easy to find. The sushi is authentic. read more

It looked pretty promising given the busyness of the establishment and the lineups so I thought I would be in for a legit sushi experience. Sadly the fish quality and presentation was mediocre at best. Our food was served on plastic plates which was odd for me. The taste of the fish and the rice was average, nothing spectacular about it. I tried the O toro and it didn't look or taste like an O toro piece and was more like a Chu toro at best. Scallop sushi wasn't as sweet as other places I have had. Looks like they used American Scallop instead of the popular Hokkaido Scallops. The interior was very outdated and did not feel like a sushi bar or establishment. Probably won't be a returning customer as I'm pretty sure there's much better options for legit sushi in this city. read more

We came here for dinner, the old Asian lady checked the room and told us there's no table so we had to sign the waiting list which is no problem. While we were looking at the today's special menu on the blackboard, the old lady asked us to step out of the restaurant and wait outside! It is winter and cold outside, and we are the only waiting group which doesn't take much space inside. I told her it is cold outside, Can we wait inside? She talked back in a very rude way that if we wait inside, we will block the entrance and prevent other customers to come in. She treated us like criminals who stole $800 from her pocket or something. we were so mad and left immediately! since there's no service or respect here, we will never wanted to come back! read more

We're not joking when we said we're willing to drive up from LA just for sushi tomi. It's very rare to dine at sushi restaurants that offer fresh seafood at such reasonable prices these days. The sashimi cuts are thick and melt in your mouth. All the chirashi selections are similar and comparable. The sushi rice is just as thoughtfully made. Try it, it'll make you feel grateful to be alive. read more

I couldn't say no more. I wanted leave another 5 stars review. Absolutely amazing. The price is just awesome and food quality is dying for! Today I just got another chill by rice. It was dancing in my mouth. I got there at 11:25 and after 25mins since they open, the restaurant packed with people. There were people waiting already! Probably about 7 parties. Crazy crazy. read more

Sushi Tomi always commands a wait--ours was just over 40 minutes for dinner on a Friday night. The service here was amazingly friendly and helpful, and everything was delicious, though I'm not sure that it was so special that it was worth a long wait. We started with the Tomi Special roll with avocado, salmon, scallop, and torched hamachi. The rainbow roll (with imitation crab and avocado on the inside) was just as delicious, topped with a colorful assortment of shrimp, salmon, tuna, and more! The entrees came with a side of soup and salad--we had the unagi don, which came with a generous portion of grilled eel in the signature sauce, as well as the grilled mackerel (saba). Both were delicious entrees, and though the dishes here tended to be on the pricey side, the quality of everything was amazing! read more

Popped in to place a to go order. After paying $80 plus tip I was hoping to sit down 10 min & have a tea since plenty of seating was available at the sushi bar area & other tables. The hostess snapped wait outside & come back in 15 min. I woulda loved a green tea @ the bar after a rough morning. But was kicked out rudely. Plus, my son got sick after eating it. Was warm sushi. read more

Well, I am thoroughly shocked that I did not discover Sushi Tomi sooner. For the price point and the fish quality, this is really a gem. My husband and I came here on a Monday evening, and there were maybe 5 or 6 groups ahead of us in line. We put our names down and waited about 20 min to be seated (after the first wave of dinner guests finished). We ordered the tuna cut roll, the hamachi kama, and two orders of the special chirashi. I'll talk about these separately. The tuna cut roll: not bad, but didn't blow my mind. Hamachi kama: I'm salivating just thinking back on this. This hamachi kama might very well be one of the best hamachi kama dishes I've ever had. It tasted so fresh that there was no fishiness, just pure flavor. While generally I like to add some lemon or sauce to my hamachi kama, this fish was so flavorful that my husband and I devoured it plain, using our chopsticks to pick off the tiny flaky bits left over. 10/10 would get again. We were so full but were determined to finish off the hamachi kama. Special chirashi bowl: Honestly, really great for the price. You get a lot of different fish, plus ama ebi and fatty tuna! (You can see what fish is included in my attached photo). You really only need the chirashi to be satisfied, but we were just too excited to find Sushi Tomi and ended up ordering too much. I'm already looking forward to coming back! read more

EXCELLENT, non-expensive sushi in the Palo Alto area. I can't say enough about this place other than it compares to some of the best (and most expensive) sushi places I've dined at before. Super fresh seafood and delicious cooked dishes. We had the chicken teriyaki with white rice, as well as the rainbow roll -- which I should note has real snow crab and not imitation. Saki to pair was an excellent choice. Only thing to be aware of is there tends to be a small wait (no reservations) for Sushi Tomi. It goes quick, and trust me, it's worth the wait. I will definitely continuing coming back here! read more

This place is consistently wonderful. The fish is always fresh. Sit down service was always rushed because they always had a line out the door, but they were still friendly. The rolls have very good ingredients, but are not the most well formed, we usually get a few but really come here for the nigiri. During covid we got food to go. It's never quite as good after a car ride, but we often took it to the closest park we could and it was still some of the best sushi we ever had. read more

It's a really great place if you want to share lots of different side dishes and Japanese tapas. I had a party of 9 and everyone loved it, great service, food was delicious. Definitely ask for the daily specials and it did not disappoint. Line is long so be prepared to wait! read more

Solid Japanese place for bentos and sushi in downtown MV. Located right across from a public parking lot, parking is easy - there's also street parking nearby. Their menu is pretty simple, though they have a separate menu for sushi and beers. Prices are fair, though some items are a bit pricier than other Japanese places, but overall, solid Japanese place for the price. They are packed on the weekends! Lots of people ordered the sashimi lunches, and they also had a mini chirashi lunch special for $12.90 (varies daily), which is what I ordered. The sashimi was pretty decent in the chirashi, and the portion size was pretty big given that it was the "mini" version. We also tried their oyako-don, which was delicious and super worth the portion size. Nabeyaki udon was pretty solid as well, and the tempura came on a separate plate, so your choice whether or not to dunk it :) And we also got their typical bento sets, where you can pick 2 entrees and it comes with soup and salad. Salmon teriyaki was solid and the 3 pieces of sashimi that we chose was also good. All in all, solid Japanese restaurant (they have another location in SJ), but be prepared for a wait. They look small from the outside, but they can actually accommodate quite a bit of people inside. There's also a few seats at the sushi bar. The green tea that they serve was also really nice! Didn't try their sushi this time around, but maybe I'll give it a try on my next visit :P read more

We have heard a lot of good things about this place so we decided to try it out. It was Friday during dinner time so the line was long - we waited about an hr or so. There are a ton of options to choose from so take your time looking through the menu and deciding what you want to try. We ended up ordering: -combination dinner (chicken teriyaki + tenpura & comes with miso soup and salad): very solid portions for a good price. The teriyaki was average (not bad but not special) and the tempura was a bit oily and the tempura breading was very thick and dense, when it should have been more light and airy. -tomi special roll (spicy tuna): This was our favorite pick out of everything we got. Very flavorful and fresh. We would get again, but was not enough to have us want to come back. -extra special nigiri sushi: the nigiri was just average. Fish was decently fresh but nothing special. Unfortunately, the rolls it came with were the star and not the nigiri. Overall, we were not impressed in anyway. and will continue to look for our go to sushi spot in the Bay. read more

I arrived here around 11:45am on a Saturday expecting a wait since this is a really popular restaurant. However, we were able to get seated right away to my surprise, but the restaurant was almost fully occupied by the time that I arrived. If you're able to go right when they open you can probably avoid a wait. It was great that they had a bunch of different options for lunch specials. My friends who were with me ended up ordering the lunch combo where you get to pick two entrees which was a great value. I ended up ordering the sashimi lunch which came with tuna, salmon, yellow tail, and white tuna. I thought the food was good and would definitely want to come back to try their entrees that are not sashimi. The service was also good. All the waitresses were pretty nice. They were also attentive as they came by to refill our teas. Overall I had a good experience at Sushi Tomi and would like to come back to try their other items such as the saba shioyaki and the tonkatsu. read more

Sushi Tomi - Sashimi Lunch - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mountain View, California

I've been here several times now and have never been disappointed. The restaurant itself isn't super big and they have yet to integrate with Yelp waitlist, so you certainly should expect a bit of a wait. Maybe that one punctual friend in your party can put his/her name down first while everyone else shows up 15-20 minutes late. That happened to me a few times, and while I didn't LOVE waiting by myself, at least nobody else had to wait -_-... I am usually a man of habit, so most of the time I just order their sushi rolls. But last time I came, a friend ordered the hamachi kama and it was amazing. Ambrosian even. It was so fatty and so juicy, almost like butter melting in your mouth. I'd definitely recommend you to try that! read more

After everyone else raised their prices by 30~50% in Bidenflation era, Sushi Tomi has become comparatively a great value. Extra Special Sushi gets you 8 pieces of premium fish (usually including Uni or Abalone), a Maki roll and a bowl of soup for $33. That's about $4 a piece of premium Nigiri with the Maki and soup as complimentary extras. I also normally get an appetizer, finish up with an additional order of Tamago sushi and ask them to hold the soup till the end. I'll be full and out the door at $50 and change. -- Remember to spend $2.50 for fresh Wasabi which is also a steal at today's prices. And, they give you a big enough serving of fresh Wasabi that I almost feel bad knowing how expensive it can be (almost $200 a pound in the US; about $80 in Japan)! Most places don't serve real Wasabi and those do won't serve you any food for less than $100. -- Side Note: Sushi Tomi is not the best place if you are looking for exotic and rare fish flown in from Toyosu Japan with price being no object. There are plenty of places you can drop $200~300 for that stuff in an Omakase spread. But, what they do have is of high quality and it is serve on good sushi rice (Shari). -- With the demise of Akane, Sushi Tomi has become my go to spot for the lower Peninsula. The dining environment is nothing to write home about, but the sushi should be the reason you are here! read more

Great place for sushi. I was amazed at their culinary expertise. I was skeptical to try this but amazed by their quality and taste. read more

amazing sushi, great service. crowded, always so plan ahead! Highly recommend all of their rolls, ordering takeout is also good option.

SushiTomi was my family's favorite Japanese restaurant for many years. Just visited for lunch last week and was so disappointed. Our favorite White Tuna Tataki came tasteless. Tomi special roll looked stale and tasted nothing like before. And the miso soup was so salty. I am saddened and couldn't help to ask if they changed the owner (the waiter said no). I truly hope what I experienced was just an anomaly. Or the owner please try to restore what you were able to serve. I sincerely hope my favorite restaurant is back again. read more

Best sushi in the area for the price! I've been coming to Sushi Tomi with my boyfriend once a week for the past month and a half and it's never failed to satisfy my sushi craving. I think the main differentiator between Sushi Tomi and other sushi places is that their rice is well-seasoned, and their fish is always very fresh. The lines can be very long (30+ minutes) especially on weekends, but the sushi is so good that I don't mind waiting for it. The restaurant is located right off of Castro street, so while we wait we usually walk around to pass time. My favorites are the: - salmon avocado roll - Tomi special roll with hamachi (I found the spicy mayo sauce on this dish to be pretty tiring, but luckily it's on the side) - hamachi toro nigiri The only roll I've tried from them that I didn't like was the shrimp tempura roll. The rice-to-meat ratio was too high for me, and the lettuce in the roll didn't particularly add much. I've also tried their other dishes like donburi, but I didn't enjoy them quite as much as the sushi. Overall: - the wait can be long on weekends (tip: try to go near closing for a shorter wait) - great place for sushi, but maybe not worth the wait for non-sushi dishes read more

First time here, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town. I just want to start of by saying that I have had one of the best customer service experiences here. I walked by this restaurant hesitating to walk in because they were 30 minutes from closing lunch hours to prep for dinner. I saw the lady at the front, whom takes the orders step out of the restaurant and I quickly walked back to her and asked if they are still taking orders. She replied "yes, I'm waiting for you." We both smiled. I really needed my sake sashimi fix, so I'm glad she was willing to take my order. I was seated at the sushi bar. Food: I want to start off by saying, the hot tea is FREE here. I love tea! I ordered unagi nigiri, salmon avocado roll and sake sashimi of course! The ungai was super delicious and I love how the eel is actually a big piece! I literally could barely fit it all in one bite. The sauce was delicious as well. It was not too sweet. I kind of wish I ordered more haha. Then onto the sake sashimi. Oh my! The pieces are thick and fresh, just how I like my man, I mean my sashimi LOL. It had a great texture and you don't taste a whole lot of fishiness even though you are eating fish. That's sushi-grade sashimi for ya! Now, the salmon avocado roll was delicious too, but as I was eating a couple pieces of the roll, I found a fish bone. The rolls were also poorly wrapped. It was quite loose and all the filling was semi falling apart. However, I let my waitress Carrie know about the issue and immediately she addressed the concern to the chef. As a result, they deducted the salmon avocado roll from my tab. I felt bad, but she was also sorry that had happen. So, I really appreciate their customer service here! I also revived miso soup and ice cream on the house, which is ah-may-zing! She also checked up on me and asked if I needed anymore hot tea. She's a total sweetheart! Plus, everything here is reasonably priced! Note: I want to add that I have been to other sushi restaurants before and have found fish scales and sharp bones in my sushi, but the waiters haven't done anything about it. This is why this restaurant deserves 5 stars. :) read more

Tempura, Takoyaki, Sashima, and Steak combo were amazing! 10/10 would come back here.

My friend was moving to a new place to start med school so I wanted to treat her to lunch to celebrate. We found this popular Japanese spot in Mountain View, and although they don't currently have indoor or outdoor seating, we were intrigued and wanted to try the food, and I'm so glad we did! Food: - Extra Special Chirashi Sushi--$31 We decided to splurge and get the Extra Special Chirashi Sushi because it comes with uni and ikura and we both love uni. It was definitely worth it and the fish was so fresh and yummy. There wasn't too much rice which was perfect to savor the fish--the main star. - Tempura Appetizer--$11.90 Tempura is my absolute favorite Japanese dish, so we had to order this one. The appetizer came with two shrimp tempura, and an assortment of veggie tempura that included pumpkin, sweet potato, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. The shrimp and veggies were soft and tender, and had just the right amount of batter. The best part was that it came with fried shrimp heads--very flavorful, crunchy on the outside, and soft and juicy on the inside! - Chicken Skin (Tori-Kawa) Skewer--$6.50 My friend and I have similar food tastes, and both like chicken skin so we got this skewer. The chicken skin was light and crispy and perfectly broiled with a slightly smoky flavor. - Chicken Gizzard (Sunagimo) Skewer--$6.50 It was my first time trying chicken gizzards and I liked it. It had a nice satisfying chew and subtle flavor. Tips: - They currently only have take-out options, and make sure to order by dropping by the store, or by ordering through the phone. The phone line does get busy so be patient and keep calling. Otherwise, drop by in person to the store to place your order. - Order ahead and expect a wait for the food to be prepared because it's a super popular place! My friend and I stopped by 10 min before they opened on a Saturday, and were second in line to order. When we ordered, we were given an estimate of 30-40 min wait for the food to be prepared. We took a walk around Castro Street and the wait was not bad at all. - There are some empty tables and chairs on Castro Street (specifically in front of Icicles) that you can take advantage of if you want to eat right after picking up your food. read more

Sushi Tomi is a nice and cozy place - went at around 6PM and there was already starting to be a line up outside. We got the special nigiri and special sashimi dinner, which came out to be around $80.

Not sure if it was too much fattiness or not fresh fish but I think both of us got a little bit of food poisoning after this meal :( read more

They are small, so it is a little cramped, especially if you have a large group, but they do their best to accommodate. Service is polite and attentive, and they plated our large order together beautifully. Teriyaki portion was good, and sashimi is cut generously. You can't go wrong!

We enjoyed our meal at Sushi Tomi on Thursday night. It's always nice to see outdoor seating but we opted for a both inside because it was still a little cool. The sushi menu is extensive. One can get just about any kind of sushi. We chose a fried California roll and a lobster roll. We paired it with a bottle of Pinot Grigio after a sake bomb.

Fresh fish flown in from Japan? WHY NOT? The quality is night and day! Pre-Pandemic days, you gotta put your name down & wait for hours to sit down. With Covid, it's take out only. Staff wears masks correctly, hand sanitizer at the door & pick up is a breeze. It's a traditional sushi join, simple yet delicious. The price compared to quality provided is worth it. Expert recommendation: go there to order in person if you can as they list their special fish of the week on the white board (fish flown in from Japan outside their usual items on the menu) and their weekly specials. You can call and ask too but their English isnt excellent and speaking through a mask may be difficult to understand. Place your order, walk down the street to Maison Alyzee to pick up to die for Parisian desserts. Go home and treat yourself to an amazing date night. You're welcome. But seriously, pls support this place. Would really be devastated if they dont make it through 2021. read more

Came here for dinner with friend. Tried this place for the first time after knowing about it for the past 13 years, lol. It's because every time I come here, the wait time is so long. And that's because it's very good food. However I never have time to wait. This time my friend got a table early so I did not have to wait. I was coming from East San Jose. We ordered a variety of sashimi. Very fresh and super delicious. Staff are super friendly and courteous with great hospitality. Very attentive to refilling our drinks and asking if everything is ok every so often. Good thing that stands out is they did not give us the check until we asked for it. My friend and I both parked on Castro Street (parallel parking spaces) where the spaces are quite big. Inside, there are signs posted saying something like "Please hide valuables in car". That's because people's cars been broken into. Not enough street lights. We just park on Castro since we like walking after dinner. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Sushi Tomi very much and we'll be back soon. It's better than most sushi places. And customer service is way better than most too. So I recommend this place. Check it out :) read more
