I haven't gone here for hibachi in a long time but i do not remember the quality of the food being this bad and obviously the prices are absurd (yes i know, inflation but Im considering this). But if someone is going to pay at least 32-50 for hibachi the quality should be up to par. I got steak and salmon hibachi for about 40- the salmon was two very thin slices and steak about a single serving size. One of the problems with this price range is they will charge you extra for fried rice (isnt that the reason go for hibachi?), extra for "garlic noodles"- that was 50% soy sauce. Dumps a load of lomein on the griddle and gave it a soy sauce bath, no garlic. The food was extremely salty, the sauces they also gave were poorly made- watery and extremely salty. Hibachi sauces should be gingery, garlicky, a little thick and flavorful. Most places will also give a creamy sauce, they gave something with cheap hot mustard in it and something else that was also watery and salty it was not appealing at all. The only positive is the cook was really nice, but you guys need to work on whatever recipes you have currently and re-evaluate the pricing for the quality youre giving out. We shouldve went to Tomo if i was going to spend that much. read more

The torched maki was listed as having spicy scallop inside but it was actually mostly crabstick. The tempura batter was too thick and not fully cooked inside. Green dragon roll was mostly cucumber inside with minimal eel. read more

Our first visit was so good we came back a week later, and brought another couple with us. We sat at a table in sushi bar (our preference since the tepanaki side is busy and noisier. Our food was excellent- every bit as good as the prior week plus with more people we tried more things. Service (taking order and clearing plates) was slower than we'd have liked, it seemed like they were short handed so the sushi chef stepped in where he could making sure we were taken care of. Go! That's all I can say read more

The food was very delicious, the flavor was definitely there. The only thing about the food that I wish they were clear about were the sushi rolls. They were both cooked/warm rolls which I wasn't expecting from the description. The crazy maki and volcano, pictures shown below. I was actually surprised that they did a hibachi show for just us, they were efficient and cooked the food really well. I'm not a big show person so it didn't really care for the theatrics but my bf said they could've been more energetic. But the other table, which was more full, did have a more energetic chef. They gave a lot of food, the portions were definitely big! And my bf thought the Scorpion bowl was delicious and strong, so definitely try that out if you like mixed drinks. Overall, I think this place is worth a try just for the hibachi, it was really delicious. The sushi, I've had better, but that's not the reason I went there. read more

A friend and I went to to Tomo on 02/18/2024 for a nice lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at the bar which had enough seating for us to relax and enjoy our meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We did order a quite bit for just 2 people but everything was fresh and delicious. We ordered the Blackened Tuna, Hamachi Kama , Spicy Tartar Tower, Spicy Tuna Gyoza, Pork Short ribs and Grilled Chilean Sea Bass for appetizers. The Blackened Tuna was the best ! It was fresh, seared and cooked to perfection. The Spicy Tuna Gyoza were a little over fried as you can see from the pictures but well within normal limits. The inside was warm and tasty. The Pork Short Ribs were tender and sticky with a tasty soy glaze. All in all everything we ordered was delicious. The only caveat was the Hamachi Kama was not quite as fatty as I was hoping for. IT was very good with some rice though. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our bartender was pleasant and prompt and overall the ambience was welcoming and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We have been any ties over the years and will definitely be back. read more

Okay, I like this place. I like it better than the place down the road. But I do have a few concerns. The service... this is good, but not great. Like a lot of businesses, I wonder if finding good help is tough? Lately (in the past couple of weeks), the waitstaff seems stressed. I've experienced slow service from them. They're trying, but it just doesn't seem like they can catch up to all their work. The chefs... the food itself is good, but the chefs seem like they just want to get through the service. Not at all interested in putting on a good performance. This last guy forgot to cook the onions (with the whole show that goes with it). The whole table was talking about it right in front of him. The food... the sushi was good, flavorful. The grilled food was as good as ever (other than no onions). There is no real complaint about the food here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere... the carpet is dated and could probably use either a replacement or change to a new flooring type. The lighting is dim, which is normal, but it's okay (although I wish it was just a little brighter)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Overall, I give it 4 stars because the food is good, and I think the servers tried their best. I don't think I want that chef again. read more

Delicious food and wonderful attentive service. Our server refilled our tea before we even asked. Great for small and large groups. Sushi made fresh and with care. Also if possible take advantage of their happy hour menu. read more

First of all I'm gonna start off by saying I know inflation is a pain in the ass but this was the worst birthday dinner I've ever had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was so excited for my baby to see the hibachi being cooked and the chef didn't even put on a show[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The server only came to us and asked what we wanted to drink and we went with water (thankfully) but since we didn't order any other drinks she only checked back on us once after our food was already cooked. I will say that the sweet potato roll was really good but the rest of the food was questionable. I ordered the shrimp hibachi- the shrimp was SO OVER COOKED my daughter was spitting it out. She loves shrimp. The vegetables were not blackened but actually burnt to a crisp. When our server finally came around after I was sharing my fork with my kid so she could eat she finally gave us a spoon for her when she was already done her food. When they brought out the check my mind was blown, over 120$ for water and overcooked food. I will not be going to this hibachi restaurant ever again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also put my toddler in a highchair that had no buckles on it - I know many other toddler moms can relate when I say this was not an ideal situation, especially at a hibachi dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I stopped in for a quick lunch on a Monday afternoon. I went into the bar. It was quiet, but there were a group of 5 also at the bar. It took a few minutes before I was acknowledged, but once they did, the service was good. I ordered a Mai Tai, salad, California roll, and Salmon Sushi. Everything was tasty as expected for a Japanese Steakhouse. The reason I did not give 5 stars was due to the interior being a little run down, but the bathroom was clean. read more

Very quiet night when we were there Quick service Strong drinks It was fun, enjoyed the night read more

The food here had never disappointed. This visit is our first since covid interrupted all our lives. Other than the food being great it will be hard to want to return. The service was extremely rushed and we felt as though we were more of an inconvenience than a customer. The restaurant was also freezing. The only comfort was when the grill was on. Once it was off the rest of the customers at our table also talked about how cold it was. read more

Consistent excellent sushi is served at TJSH Service is very good and pricing is in-line with the quality of the meal received read more

Marsha was by the the best waitress I've ever had! She was so fun and on top of everything. She was dealing with difficult customers with ease. read more

We returned to Tokyo after a 3 year LOA. It appears that they have "cleaned up" with new dark gray paint on walls (with no artwork), remodeled bathrooms, and new dishes (none chipped), and chefs with clean uniforms. The service is still VERY rushed. I barley got to look at the menu with the waitress keeps coming back to badger me. The dining room is very dark and its hard to see the menu. I could easily sub noodles for rice this time so thats a positive. The hibachi chef was the standard and not too interactive with our large group. THe portions a huge and salty. Very salty. Everything was cooked fine and they let us bring in a cake in with us for our friend's retirement party. read more

Love this place. It's my go-to for fresh sushi. I've been to all of the area places, none can compare.

Eat in the bar if you don't like the open grill tables. Super comfortable booths with great service. Sushi very fresh and expertly made. Real sushi connesuirs can eat at small sushi bar, but that's not necessary. Look it over and ask chef for specials. Bar takes pride in serving an honest drink. No bs martini or Manhattan. Perfect mix and chill. It's hard for me to rate gasho style ( grill tables) because, for me, that's just fancy showmanship stir fry. read more

The food was really bland. Also, I can tell they use a low grade of meats. Probably why the price is so cheap.

I love this place the food's always good my favorite is the tempura shrimp I also love the spicy tuna Maki rolls always get great service love the sushi bar everything is always good here read more

it tasted good going down, but as soon as I get home, I got so sick I got food poisoning. It was the worst I have ever felt in my life. I will never go back to the eat. read more

The food was good and the cook at our table was very entertaining. At one point when he was tossing bits of veggies at us I looked to see where one piece went on the floor. Well the floor was disgustingly dirty with bits and pieces of who knows what that looked like had been there for quite some time. Needs a thorough cleaning before I'd ever return. read more

Outstanding!!!!!!! I always went to a place a bit up the road but wanted to try somewhere new. Tomo did not disappoint!!! Starting with what I'd say was the best rice I ever had in my entire life to the filet and scallops. Unreal!!! Chef was phenomenal too!! Super personable and great with the kids also!! Literally became my go-to hibachi just like that! Can't wait to go again!! My two year old definitely wanted to bang the gong so I think next time I'll say it's his birthday . Thanks so much! Everything was perfect! read more

Waiter was very nice! Overall a good experience, Sushi was ok.. but have had better. I wouldn't come back for Sushi.. but would try the hibachi. read more

This place is usually really good but today must've been their off day. Went to lunch and the Udon I ordered had no flavor at all, the broth was very bland. They also forgot the spicy mayo on our sushi roll, not a huge problem because its still a good roll, but the only reason we ordered it was because it was the spicier version. would go back but most likely during dinner read more

Great value for the service. Food was prepared exactly to our liking and our chef was very entertaining

I don't know why some people just love to complain. You can't get a better place that has great food, great service and great atmosphere. I believe that anyone giving a negative review needs to get a life. read more

The food is good. The big problem whit the place is always a long and unnecessary line.

My absolute favorite place to eat in Salem, NH. Consistently good meals, good service. Very pricey though. Great drinks!

We love this place as a family. The food is amazingsause!!!! The chefs are always a blast. The takeout is interesting. We've yet to have it delivered but thinking of trying. We ususlly only hibachi. Their prices seem higher. If coupons work on delivery might try. But definitely worth going in. Not cheap. But soooooo yummy read more

Went for sushi and drinks again on Saturday. My wife and I ordered spicy tuna hand rolls, salmon hand rolls and shrimp tempura maki rolls. The sushi chefs work extreme hard and put great detail into making each roll. Everything was absolutely outstanding. Everything tastes fresh and it is one of the top places to get sushi in my opinion. For drinks I order the Mai Tai ( best Mai Tai I've ever had and it's not even close!!) and my wife ordered a gray goose dirty martini. She said it was outstanding. This location is the best out of all of them. The service is excellent and the waitresses work extremely hard and get your orders out quickly. Don't forget to tip the sushi chefs, bartenders and the waitresses well!! Enjoy read more

Well this place is essentially Benihana but without the chef flare and talent... That being said, the food is actually pretty good and portions are larger than most tepanyaki style joints. Ordered the Filet Mignon, lobster and of course fried rice washed down with a couple of Kirins. The meal had good taste and was seasoned nicely. The service on the other hand was not all that great, my party continually had empty cups and always had to remind the waitress of what we wanted. She seemed rather forgetful. Overall, not the best but likely not something to write home about. Pros- Food tasted good Large portions Freshly prepared Remodeled bathrooms Ice cold beer and sake menu Cons- Slow and forgetful service A tad pricey Smell like smoke when you leave Strip mall location read more

Place is getting run down and the chefs don't really make a ton of effort to put on a show other than a little fireball to start and the infamous volcano. Hibachi Chef training school day #1 stuff. they don't really put on a real show which is really part of the experience and price of admission if you know what I mean. Floors are dingy, tables are chipped and bathrooms were full of writing on the walls and cleaning products including mops standing up in plain view. Mens room was so dark (bulbs out) that I had to use my phone to find the "proper place to stand." Price vs. quality/quantity was not great and this was my second time here. To me, all of the food kind of tasted the same. The scallops were very small, cut in half in the back and dried out when they were dropped on my plate. Honestly, I thought the fried rice was the best part of the meal. Nobody in my group is a drinker but we saw a few drinks with flames coming out of them so maybe the food tastes better if you have a buzz going on? If that is the case they might want to get those bulbs replaced in the bathroom otherwise the buzzed people certainly will miss their mark! read more
