I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed by both Sushi Tomo's food and service. Sushi Tomo is a fusion restaurant, but it seems to focus mostly on Japanese food. I thought the Vegetable Ramen would be a safe bet. When I arrived to pick up my take-out, everything was already bagged. I checked my meal before leaving, and noticed that the onsen egg - which is a very soft-boiled egg with a soft white and extremely runny yoke- was completely hard-boiled. It seems like a small thing to get caught up on, but onsen eggs/ajitsuke eggs are my favorite part of ramen. I mentioned it to the hostess and she apologized, offering to get an actual onsen egg. She mentioned that it would take a few minutes to make it, but I was fine with that- again, onsen eggs are my favorite part of ramen! And mistakes happen- it's easy to overcook eggs. Roughly ten/fifteen minutes later, she told me that they couldn't make a non-hard-boiled egg. That's pretty odd- if it's impossible for the kitchen to make onsen eggs, why are they an ingredient in every ramen on the menu? Were regular soft-boiled eggs also not a possibility? I was pretty bummed out, especially because I waited for something they weren't making. I expected better from a Japanese restaurant. I was offered my next Ramen "on the house", which was generous, but brings me to my next point. The food just isn't good. Overall: Ramen - 0 stars. The Vegetable Ramen has a soy milk broth-base and comes with spinach, kikurage mushrooms, and sweet corn. All of the ramens come with noodles, scallion, bamboo, fried garlic, and an onsen egg. Vegetarian ramen tends to be super flavorful and full of umami despite its lack of meat, but this ramen could not be more disappointing. The broth was bland and flavorless. I added some salt, hoping that it was just undersalted (which it was), but it didn't bring out any flavor because there was none. I saw another reviewer describe the noodles as "soggy", and I would consider that accurate. They're overcooked, and there's no springy texture to them. They also seem to be completely unsalted. Surprisingly, the completely hardboiled egg was the best part of the ramen. It was the only ingredient that actually had flavor, despite being extremely overcooked. Thoroughly disappointing. Spicy California Roll - 3 stars. It's pretty decent $6 sushi, but it's just o.k. After spending $20 on a meal, I was still incredibly hungry. I'm pretty disappointed- Pittsburgh needs some more great Japanese spots, and unfortunately Sushi Tomo just isn't one of them. read more

Considered 2.5 stars. I wasn't super crazy with sushi. The options are great but the rice on the rolls were very dry. The place was also out of dumplings at the time I went. read more

We just dined here for the first time and we were very impressed and happy with the sushi! The sushi was delicious and fresh! They have a large variety of sushi rolls. I had their penguin roll which was large! I wasnt able to finish the roll, but I wanted too! I have never had a roll like this one before, so I was very impressed! I felt like I was eating a fusion of funnel cake and sushi! YUMM! My husband had their toro, and their dragon roll which were also very delicious and very fresh! We had a great experience here, the sushi is delicious and we will be definitely returning here in the future. Can't wait to try out the rest of their sushi! So, so excited! read more

The food is always a 10/10. I highly recommend the salad: it is so fresh. The service is excellent and the ambiance is perfect for a night out! read more

I came here on a Saturday early afternoon time. Interior was nicely spaced out, servers and staff very kind and respectful. They have quite a long menu, so I appreciated their patience while I got lost in it! My partner ordered a lychee martini as a starter: quite refreshing and sweet. Together we ordered the following: gyoza, Alaskan, Villager, and Unagi don - overall plenty of food for both of us! Gyoza were deep-fried so everything about it was super crispy. It's not the style of gyoza I typically eat, but tasty nonetheless. The umami/sweet sauce that came with it really elevates this appetizer! Alaskan was a simple roll of avocado, smoked salmon - I was not a big fan of smoked salmon but the roll was very tasty, and I appreciated the simplicity of flavors. Similarly, the Villager was pretty much the same except with yellowtail: I really liked that one! Again, simple flavors that allowed the sweetness of the fish to shine. The unagi-don was a bit of a letdown. The flavor of the sauce was fantastic, but I felt that 1) the eel was not the highest quality; it had this super, incredibly overly thick gelatinous skin that made the eel very unpalatable. I would strongly recommend that they either peel that off, sear it, or just do something about that skin! 2) ratio of rice was off - it was just way too much rice, and I hate wasting food! 3) I was not a fan of the pickled daikon as it just didn't match the flavor profile of the dish. However, I did appreciate the seawood, although I also thought the ratio was a bit off. Usually, I would just stick with a classic unagi-don: eel+rice+sauce = perfect recipe but their spin was appreciated. Overall, I think if you're craving sushi and you're on the go, this is a great place to stop: the smaller rolls were great! I'll have to try their more deluxe rolls another time. read more

I've been coming here for 20+ years and something has really changed in the last couple of years. I thought this was the best sushi restaurant in the north but now I won't be back. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt, everyone can have a bad day. But I have no interest in even finishing my meal - which is unthinkable. Try some place else. read more

Food is always pretty solid, service too Ramen could be better, just kinda basic Pork belly ramen was missing something just meh read more

Worst ever !!! Not fresh and not clean Do i need to say anymore Go with risk and eyes opened ! If they do something wrong let them know or they will keep doing it read more

I ordered a salmon roll (5.95) and village roll (6.95) for takeout. It was worth the premium to get one of the more expensive rolls -- the village roll was larger with more variety inside and tasted more fresh. It was delicious. The salmon roll was plain and while OK, the rice was a bit dry and hard. It lacked the same freshness as the village roll overall. The inside of Sushi Tomo surprised me. It feels quite modern inside with a well-lit, prominent bar and spacious dining area, when I was expecting the typical grungy takeout joint. The bar is closed, but they are open for dining in at every other table during COVID-19. While I enjoyed my meal, I thought it was overpriced compared to what I've seen in Pittsburgh for a similar product. However, I really hope they can succeed in the North Hills -- and I would definitely choose them again the next time I crave sushi in the area. read more

Sushi Tomo was highly recommended to me, so I met a friend from work for lunch. Definitely not what I expected. The restaurant was not nice. It looked worn and in need of updating. We sat down, and the waitress seemed pleasant, but that changed after our order. I ordered the spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls with a salad and also soup. The soup and salad was typical.. much like what you get at any hibachi joint. Now the sushi rolls were the issue. I have had sushi at a number of places. While some may make fun, or turn their nose up, I find some Giant Eagles and a Kuhns on Banksville Rd. have good rolls. Definately better than Sushi Tomo. My friend said his tempura roll combo meal was good, but not impressive. I was not impressed at all. What was more frustrating was the lack of service after we ordered. The waitress brought our food and water out then disappeared. We sat talking and left because we felt as if weren't wanted there. Only other time we saw the waitress was for the check. The whole time we were there I counted 7 people there for lunch on a FRIDAY! I believe this place is overrated and possibly recommended by friends of owners and employees. I do not usually give bad reviews, but Sushi Tomo is not recommended! read more

I have a gluten allergy and the server was very knowledgeable about the gluten free options! She also double checked that they could accommodate a sushi dish for me! The food was great and so were the drinks! read more

NORTH PITTSBURGH'S HIDDEN GEM FOR DELICIOUS SUSHI! To say my husband and I were impressed by Sushi Tomo would be an understatement - we were BLOWN AWAY at how FRESH and DELICIOUS our dinner was, how CLEAN the restaurant was inside, and how EXCELLENT our service was! Let me start by talking about our drinks - they have a huge list of different alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to choose from. We chose the white peach sake and their special the Lychee Martini. The sake was really nice but their Lychee martini was something special - definitely a drink you don't find on many menus! Next we ordered a large house salad because my husband and I love ginger dressIng and their was very clean and fresh tasting. One large was enough for us to share. Before our salads arrived however, we were brought a complimentary ceviche appetizer that was FANTASTIC! Alice, the manager, was so sweet and welcomed us and said that they occasionally like to have people try new menu items that the chefs are testing out before they put it on the menu. The presentation was beautiful (see pictures) and the fish and flavors were very simple, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. We ordered two sushi roles for dinner and were very happy with our choices. The Heavenly Scallop roll was amazing and the Geisha roll was what dreams are made of! I could have ordered five! (Lucky for my waistline I didn't!) ;) Finally we ended with dessert which we don't normally do but something on their menu stood out and was too hard to pass - TEMPURA FRIED OREOS! (Insert drooling emoji here). O. M. G. These things were out of this world! And not like the heavy fried Oreos you get at the fair, the tempura batter actually made these light and crispy with a soft and warm Oreo filling. AMAZING! Don't leave without trying! Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our experience and can't wait to return! Be sure to Check them out if you are in North Hills! read more

My husband grew up in the North Hills and as a resident of Robinson now, tells me all the time how underrated the McKnight area is. This restaurant is no exception. The sushi was DELICIOUS. Like, possibly the best I've had in Pittsburgh. The Tomo Roll may be the best specialty roll I've EVER had in all of the land and the scallop sushi was drool-worthy. Waiter was great too. Only loses one star bc my husband got General Tao's and the sauce was really thick and there was a ton of it instead of a glaze/thinner. Was kind of "goopy." Will definitely be back for sushi! read more

Yummmmmmmmm. My daughter and I grabbed dinner after yoga and she suggested Sushi Tomo. Smallish place, quiet and unassuming but brisk business. We sampled several rolls, spicy tuna, a veggie tempura and spicy shrimp. Each was delicious and fresh. The service was fast and friendly. The menu was extensive with several Asian, non-sushi options. Definitely will try again. read more

Love this place so much. Had our first date here. So many delicious items, sushi is good! We've had pork tonkatsu, chicken cheese rolls (cry with me about them being gone off the menu), so many kids of chicken. Really a gem in North Hills. read more

This is a little fabulous gem we found! We are always looking for new sushi restaurants to try because we love really good sushi. I think this is a good one! They have a full menu from sushi to udon to general tso chicken. I think the menu has something for everyone. We have been here a few times and have had great experiences. We ordered some rolls of the special menu they have displayed and the regular one. We ordered the Hot Mess roll that had crab, avocado, salmon, jalapeños , and Sriracha on it. It was good and spicy! The jalapeños were nice and fresh like I like them! I'm a sucker for good large Rangoons . There did not disappoint! They were large and a super gooey with a nice crunch! My boyfriend had the udon I believe and it was full a seafood and noodles! It was an excel tool mix of everything with just enough broth. To top it all off we had a couple of good drinks as well! If you don't do anything, try the drinks. The Mule was so good. It was the perfect amount of everything. My boyfriend had the Manhattan and the Lychee martini type drink! It was not too sweet at all with great flavor. Everyone who works here is super nice. It is around a shopping area so it can get pretty packed, but it's worth it read more

My wife and I decided to try this place while in the Ross Park area recently. Very happy we did. I was extremely satisfied with both the appetizers and my main meal. Also, the place has a really unique vibe that made for an authentic experience. For appetizers we had the vegetable gyoza (dumplings), the mushroom soup, and the salad with ginger dressing. I thought the gyoza were great. They are not steamed and have some crunch here, but that is how I prefer them. The soup and salad were also good, pretty close to your standard hibachi soup and salad. For my meal I had the spicy crab roll and the spicy tuna roll. They were both perfectly crafted and had a delicious flavor. They had a good kick but were not overbearing. On top of the great flavor, they were leery large in size. I couldn't finish them all, so I have a great lunch to look forward to tomorrow. Will definitely be back! read more

The construction on McKnight Rd made it difficult for me to get to, but the quality of food was good and the staff attentive.

Sushi Tomo has a large menu with very good prices. The few lunches we've had here have been great, and we'll be coming back in the future! Our waitress was very nice, and even ran out after us when we forgot our leftovers read more

Great little place and I'm sure there is a local following. And the sushi was great we ordered, but not really to the level of other sushi offerings in Pittsburgh. I tried a "special" Waygu sushi - yes I was curious how that was going to be... and was very disappointed: beef pieces cooked, flavorful sauce!, and melted cheddar cheese (hand torched clearly) mounded over an avacado(only) role. Turned it into a knife and fork dish... I applaud the attempt but none of the other specials were surprising. I will admit, I may be spoiled having learns about sushi in California and Sushi Too, or the freshest sushi (can't remember his name! He's in the entrance of Wholly's fish market... no tables, super fresh (havested that morning), nothing fancy just regular good quality fish... I would recommend Tomo if your in the north hills for sure, likely really good compared to other north hills offerings and I admit I am NOT a regular. Pricing was on par with others. If I want better and willing to travel a bit more I would go somewhere else for my favorites for the price. I gave it a favorable 3 or 4 stars pending what you get.. some of their other items might be amazing, I just didn't have it. The service was great. read more

Terrible!!!! Katsu was dry and flavorless. Ramen broth was terrible. Meat in the ramen was not fresh. Not authentic at all. I wouldn't recommend at all. I cant attest to the sushi, so that maybe acceptable. read more

The sushi was great! I got the wedding roll (the veil threw me off at first but it was a delicious roll), a cucumber roll, and tako nigiri. My only complaint is that they need to make sure drinks are served properly... I ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon and the waitress served it to me in a champagne flute not correct! I'll definitely go back, but I won't be ordering any wine. read more

I had seen some of my friends post about here on Instagram and the food always looked great. I was in the area and decided to order takeout.

The food was ok, staff was nice, but nothing to write home about. The tuna was frozen which really affected the taste and texture. Price was a bit expensive for the quality. Scottsdale is pretty far from the ocean so I'm not saying there's a better alternative. read more

Hadn't been to Sushi Tomo for a few years and we decided to give it a try tonight. It was delicious and such a great value. We started out with the gyoza (dumplings - was hungry and forgot to take a pic). They were so authentic and delicious. The sauce that went with them was unreal. For our entrees we shared the chicken fried rice, which was a huge portion for $8.95. It also had big pieces of chicken and was scrumptious. We could not get enough of it. We also had the spicy tuna roll sushi, which tasted so good and had these awesome crunchy things in it. The Boston roll (with shrimp, avocado & cucumber) was very good, but I thought the spicy tuna roll had a lot more flavor. The food came out pretty fast & the service was good. I highly recommend this place for the quality of the food, value & service. read more

Great tasting spring rolls and garlic dipping sauce. This was my first visit so it was difficult to decide which one of the chef's special dishes to order. I chose the shrimp and broccoli and my friend ordered the lemon chicken. Our servings were large enough to share at least half of a plate and we still had leftovers to take home. The lemon chicken was an excellent choice and we were very pleased with the preparation of both meals. Light oil and not overcooked. The dining room is large and comfortable and they also offer seating along the sushi bar. The owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming. read more

I have been coming to Sushi Tomo for years and they are very consistent with high quality Japanese & Chinese dishes! I try to get at least one new item every time I come here, stretching my comfort zone far beyond when I first started dabbling with Chinese and Japanese. I can honestly say I have never got an item I did not throughly enjoy. Which is insane to me! I love that the green tea is served in a traditional Japanese tea kettle. I love how friendly the staff is, I love how delicious the food is. I love EVERYTHING ABOUT this place! Every time Sushi tomo comes up in a conversation I am quick to praise them! Do yourself a favor and get to sushi tomo if you have never been there or if you are having doubts about wether or not it is good because it is!!!! This place has the Will Koz seal of approval! read more

Absolutely AMAZING!!!!! I have been coming here for years and the food NEVER disappoints! Service is great and I never leave Tomo unsatisfied. Not only is the sushi always good but the Chinese food is also delicious. Highly recommend for a sushi date or a quick lunch!! Best sushi spot in North Hills for sure read more

sushi tomo has some of the best sushi in the north hills, hands down. However, I'm a little too into spicy mayo and theirs doesn't rank highly for me (it's just not spicy or flavorful). If you're not a spicy mayo connoisseur, you can't go wrong with any of their sushi. read more

Ordered take out from here on a Sunday afternoon. Order was ready within twenty minutes and the staff was very nice. I had the spicy shrimp crunchy roll and the Philly roll. The salmon on the Philly roll was nice and smoky. The only complaint I have about the sushi was the the tempura on the shrimp roll wasn't very crunchy. I also had the crab wontons as an appetizer and they had a good amount of meat in them and were crispy. Great value for the amount of food I received. read more

This place went downhill FAST! This used to be THE place for Sushi in the North Hills and one of the best pandemic take out spots in the Burgh. Not anymore! My wife and I used to be regulars here, but won't be going back. We went for lunch on May 19th and were served soup still cold from the fridge. When we told the waitress (Who clearly didn't want to be there), she was rude and angrily said "Well, I'm not the one who heated it up" She took it away and brought out our lunch and when my wife took a bite of her chicken with broccoli, she had to spit it right out. The food was overly salted to the point of being inedible. It's obvious we were being served last nights spoiled leftovers... heavily salted to kill whatever was growing in there. At this point, I didn't trust my rather fishy smelling bento box. We dropped some cash on the table and left. I'd like to say I will give them another chance, but considering being served bad sushi can give you actual, factual worms I don't see how any anybody would want to risk it. read more

Always order from here or eat there. Last time I tried the ramen and I was not disappointed!! I love every kind of sushi I have ordered from here. And I love when I order to go they are always accommodating. Last time I was sick and ordered green tea and they were able to put it in a container for me (not something usually ordered to go) the wasabi shumai is one or my favorite apps there. If you haven't tried this restaurant now is the time!! This is my go to sushi place! read more

The food is good. The sushi is made fresh right in front of you. The atmosphere is a bit lacking as boxes of supplies are laying around the dining area. But looking beyond that and the very casual attire, like adidas sweatpants worn by the staff, the food is pretty good and the servers are friendly. Probably a great place for carry out. read more

Went to Sushi Tomo for the first time tonight. Wow!! The pork dumplings, sushi & sashimi were all incredible. The Moscow mule was light and refreshing. I felt very safe in the restaurant during the pandemic - they take your temperature upon entering and are observing social distancing with their table set up. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for good quality rolls at a reasonable price. Can't wait to go back! read more

Just want to give you guys a heads up, your packaging is very sharp. The first time I ordered it only cut me a little but the second time it left me with a deep slice on my thumb that won't stop bleeding. All I did was reach into the bag. The fact that it cut me twice is the reason I felt the need to say something. Maybe look into alternative packaging. The food is great though!! read more

We had a great experience here. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful. We ordered a couple different types of sushi and found them all to be delicious. Some were more difficult to eat than others, but we managed. The decor was nice and about what you'd expect. We will most likely be back the next time our sushi craving hits hard. read more
