I'm planned having dinner here on a Saturday evening on the way to an event. The restaurant and bar has its own parking lot, which is convenient. Not much to look at from the outside. You enter through the sushi bar; everything looked clean and we were greeted promptly. Went to the restroom to wash my hands, and I appreciate when restaurants actually have hot water in their restrooms for washing your hands. My friend ordered a Vietnamese tea and a curry with tofu. I had lemonade, edamame (which we were supposed to share), and the eggrolls. There was leftover edamame and lots of leftover curry with tofu which my friend was happy to take home with them. The eggrolls were wrapped like spring rolls, which threw off my friend who is currently choosing not to eat meat. (I grew up on the East Coast, where eggrolls are different at Asian restaurants.) The menu is extensive and we would return. read more

They have so many options on the menu, including Japanese and Thai food. We only tried Japanese this time and ordered many rolls, and loved all of them. They were fresh, tasty, and priced reasonably. We tried the Soft-Shell Crab Mango Salad Roll, Golden Dragon, Rainbow, Sea Turtle, Sunshine, Samurai, Volcano, and Godzilla, basically most of their rolls. My favorite was the Volcano, surprisingly spicy and really good. The restaurant is nice and big, and they can accommodate large group reservations. Our group was 15 people. Service was good, fast, and attentive. I want to go back to try their Thai menu next time. read more

This was my first time and I thought the lunch specials both Thai and Japanese are delicious and a great price. Lots of choices for the Bento box and for the Thai food. I was with a group of watercolor artists and we had their permission to have a special lovely room to paint and dine. Service was friendly and fast, and we all hope to return soon! read more

We lived in Kenmore and this was our first time here since the name change. It's been renovated well, staff friendly, and good food. Parking lot is shared with other businesses. We came at lunch on Saturday (they open at noon) and ordered five sushi rolls and they were able to make them all gluten free and they had tamari. Miso soup was good and the saki flight came with three samplers. Music was playing lightly. Their menu is Japanese and Thai. We will be in again to try their Thai dishes. read more

Rainbow roll is a sampler of different rolls for folks like me who don't know what to order. The shrimp ones hit best but all were solid. Ordered katsu curry but it was basically just katsu, not much curry. It's possible I got the wrong order but I was hungry. Tried an electric iced tea. No mention of ingredients on the menu which I didn't like but it looked and tasted good. It wasn't super strong but not weak either. Caveat: I don't drink often. A couple folks taking care of a full Friday dinner rush with little issue with prompt food service and polite all around. Good spacing between tables. Parking lot available and close to a bus stop on Bothell Way. read more

Toma Sushi Restaurant and Bar - Rainbow roll, Chicken Katsu, electric iced tea. - Japanese Near Me - Kenmore, Washington

Toma Sushi replaced Ikiiki Sushi. I never been to either one and decided to give them a try. As soon as I saw the menu, I wanted to get up and leave. But hubby was hungry and wanted to stay. The thing is I have a pet peeve against pan Asian places. Despite the restaurant name, this is a pan Asian restaurant with random dishes of Thai-like, Chinese-like, etc., dishes on the menu. There is always a strong chance that the restaurant doesn't have the proper Japanese training and/or some of the dishes would be made incorrectly for the region. Unfortunately, I was proven right again. I have a strong preference for authenticity; this is not the place. The restaurant is sparsely decorated. The service was sufficient. The Food: Agedashi Tofu, $6.95 - 0 Star They did not use the right kind of Japanese tofu, such that the bite inside is not smooth and custardy. In fact, their tofu is old with hints of sourness. It was gross. They didn't include the freshly grated daikon and instead add the shaved bonito flakes that you can buy in a package. Poor substitution. Prawn Tempura, $14.95 - 0 Star Before we ordered, I had doubts if they really make good tempura. The server said they are good and are BIG pieces, with emphasis on the word big. She clearly does not know what a prawn tempura is supposed to look like since these are skinny finger type of diameter. I can buy frozen ones from Asian markets that can air-fry to look similar than theirs. Again, no freshly grated daikon for the dipping sauce. Soft-Shell Crab Mango Salad Roll, $15.95 - 2.5 Stars Menu: Soft-shell crab, mango, avocado, cucumber, and mixed-baby greens wrapped in rice paper, served with spicy mango sauce I was curious how their creativity would pan out with this dish, a mix of Japanese and Vietnamese. The soft-shell crab didn't stand out well enough; it's a fried 'something undefined' type of taste. Basically, need more crab. The mango sauce is not spicy; it's a pale-yellow goo. I didn't like it or hate it. Not ordering this again. Hotate (scallop) nigiri, $6.25 - 3.5 Stars The better of the two nigiris of the night. The scallops were good and fresh. Sake (salmon) nigiri, $6.50 - 3 Stars Hubby liked them better than me. I believe they are Atlantic and had a milder taste. They added slit-cuts to the salmon pieces. I think all the Japanese sushi chefs would be appalled. Spider Roll, $11.50 - 3.5 Stars Menu: soft-shelled crab, avocado, cucumber, mango, tobiko This basic roll was the best deal amongst what we ordered, which is kind of sad since it's a shorter roll with five pieces only. Cherry Blossom, $16.95 - 3 Stars Menu: Salmon and avocado, topped with tuna, seaweed salad, tobiko, drizzled in poki sauce This roll is busier than I like. The seaweed salad on top was a bit much. It was an ok combination, just not something I would order again. Godzilla, $17.95 - 3 Stars Menu: Soft-shell crab & avocado topped with seared spicy salmon, tempura flakes and unagi sauce This roll is a small step up from the Spider Roll with the salmon on top and cost $6.45 more. The tempura flakes didn't add value to the bite since the fried soft-shell crab already provided the crunch. read more

I didn't take any pictures of our food but I had dinner here with a girlfriend during a week night and WOW was the food phenomenal. We had a few drinks they came out fast and were perfect. The appetizers the sushi was all to die for. Will definitely be back. The service was fast, we got seated right away and food came out in a timely manner as it was busy and we were chatty. The place is cute and clean which I appreciate and easy parking. read more

Great range of high quality options to choose from. Friendly warm staff and good service.

The food is never consistent. The spice level with the food is either not spicy at all or completely inedible because it's so spicy. Also the menu is very random selling Thai and Japanese food together none of it meshes well. read more

This has become one of our go to places. Happened upon it by chance, and have only explored the menu a bit. I am addicted to the swimming drama with chicken, which has been excellent every time. The salad with steak is really wonderful too. We went as a family group and ordered a lot of sushi, and everyone was very happy with their orders. Nicely decorated dining room, and the service is prompt and courteous. read more

We had not been here since it changed names, I'm not sure if it changed ownership or just the name but the food was outstanding. We had tempura, gorilla roll, miso soup and spicy eggplant. Everything was perfectly cooked, service was good and friendly, and we will definitely be back to try some more dishes! read more

Food and service are excellent. Great variety for a group. Sometimes is a bit cold inside.

All the food is like heaven in your mouth! I have never been to a restaurant this great with such quick service. The decor on the walls is truly amazing to look at as well. Normally this wouldn't matter much to me, but it truly elevates this restaurant from food to an experience. read more

We loved the christmas tree inside it was so gorgeous! Our server was great! She was so sweet and polite and oh my gosh the food! We ordered quite a lot but our favorites were the crab Rangoons, the spicy tuna roll and the golden dragon roll! We will definitely be back! read more

Apparently the old Ikiiki Sushi is now replaced by the new "Toma Sushi." The menu has changed significantly, and the food looks much more delicate than before (yes this is opinionated). We got what they called the Sea Turtle roll and the Unagi Don. They are a bit on the pricier side but the taste is solid. The restaurant is very clean and the service was great. Would visit again. read more

Toma! Great job! Great atmosphere with very friendly staff. I picked the combo B with fresh sushi and swapped the California roll for spicy tuna - I have to say it was top notch! My new go to for fresh local sushi in Kenmore! read more

We arrived during a quiet time so service was quick and everyone there was very kind. We got the toma roll, toma bento, and edamame. Everything was delicious and fresh. Parking was also easy. read more

Excellent food, great service, friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. We came in on Friday night and all the tables were full, which was a good sign. I hope it continues as is. read more
