Great food, friendly staff, didn't rush us out when they wanted to close. Will definitely go back again!
My wife and I visited the Tomo Restaurant for the first time on Valentines Day. Not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly suprised by the friendly, and fast service. The food was delicious, and at a very reasonable price. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Tomo Restaurant to anyone wanting excellent food at a very reasonable price. Will be back again soon.
Tomo is a decent Japanese restaurant for dinner with fast service and friendly staff who try to help with your meal selection if requested. There was plenty of seating when we were there and usually when I glance in walking past. The website menu didn’t match the restaurant menu so I was a bit disappointed when I discovered that there was no Yakitori. The price mostly matches the quality of food but I thought could have been better. Spinach seemed like it was frozen spinach from the supermarket. Menu could be clearer at describing the dishes.
We ordered soft shell crabs, donburi prawn and yakisoba. Everything is so delightful and good! Even the salad on the side is really yum, my husband doesn’t eat veges but he was able to finish it and raves about the dressing. The staff, Mana, is very pleasant and accommodating. Very hardworking and prompt in service. Really glad to have been in this place. We’ll definitely be back! 🥰
This place has never dissapointed me. Been coming for close to 5 years. Jah jah ramen is the bomb, service is always fast and lovely and very reasonable

Our go to Japanese restaurant. Great price, good portions and really fresh! Always polite, good service and food is presented beautifully. Bonus that it’s BYO too so great groups of friends or a date night. Love love love
Absolutely!!! Love you Tomo. Delicious dinner boxes and all starters 😍 favourite Japanese. They’re accustomed to a BYO and a rowdy Thurs - Sat. Food comes quickly and is large and fresh. Sashimi can’t be missed.
Food is so fresh and delicious! We had our company christmas function at here last night. The enviroment and service is excellent! Good place for function and family. Would recommend to all our B&B guests!

I'd visit this place again and again ! i had my first Japanese food from here! The presentation of food was more than awesome ! I ordered adgashi tofu , soft she'll crab and daigaku imo , not only the presentation. Was good but the food was tasty as well ! On my recommend list !
🍣🍱 Tomo Japanese is so yum! Their sushi is always rolled fresh and usually really tasty. They are really generous on the fillings inside the sushi also. I really like their summer rolls also, lots of avocado and the sweet nutty sauce that comes with it is great!
Only critique would be the most recent time I was there the sushi and summer rolls were rolled really loosely and fell apart. Hopefully this was a one-off on a busy Saturday! Also once I had ordered 45 pieces for catering and they forgot to roll them in advance but they were so lovely and apologetic and gave us extra sushi!
Love the Bento Box! Its really good and there is plenty of seating area.
The service is fast and the atmosphere is good.
Really good for groups.
Great for a quick lunch, they just rolled out a new menu
Excellent food at a fair price served graciously with a gentle touch of Japanese interpretation. As well as being a sit-down restaurant, they also have a good range of take away sushi.
I have enjoyed Tomo's hospitality for many years and highly recommend them if you are looking for a good value Japanese dining experience.
Their bento boxes are generously portioned and enough for two if you’ve got smaller appetites. The sashimi is great quality too. This is a common spot for BYOs and I’ve enjoyed some fantastic times here thanks to the friendly staff. Overall, a great local Japanese spot in a pinch.
I have been here many times recently and have had a few of the different ramen as well as some of the items they sell at the front. The service had always been good and the food is super tasty. If you like ramen or want to try it I would recommend this place.
Lovely service and delicious food! Don't put the takoyaki straight in your mouth like I did when it hit the table, I burnt my mouth lol obviously my fault. I had the chicken katsu on rice with sauce delish and the Rose which I got a generous portion off. Made me miss my travels in Japan!
Good Japanese Restaurant really good meals, big plates and reasonable price. unfortunately staff deaf to customer's wishes however I believe they can do it better
Tonkotsu ramen is a popular type of ramen featuring a hearty broth made by boiling down pork bones. Tonkotsu ramen has a pronounced smell compared to other ramen varieties, which people either like or don't. Tonkotsu broth takes many forms; it can be light and smooth, or thick and rich enough to stick to the spoon. There are also shoyu-tonkotsu and shio-tonkotsu soups, which combine soy sauce and salty flavors with the tonkotsu.
Great food. Can’t recommend more highly. Lovely staff and service too
Always dependable and good value. And the end of day sushi specials make an easy meal on the way home.
Good atmosphere and lovely staff. Can't go wrong with a teriyaki beef set. :)
