Tomo Japanese Dining
When a restaurant opens in a residential area, it runs the risk of losing customers to home kitchens. Tomo Japanese Dining, however, feels no such threat. It even opened a second branch in another dense residential neighborhood—and people flock to that one, too. Tomo’s authentic dishes are prepared to perfection every time, so it undoubtedly deserves its superiority.
Start your meal with the Spicy Tuna Salad, whose unique texture is made even more dynamic with wasabi and crunchy fried tempura batter. Also a winner is the Hiyashi Chuka, a cold ramen noodle dish loaded with prawns, kani, tamago, chicken or ham bits, tomatoes, cucumber, and red ginger, all flavored with a sweet tare broth. If you’re into makis, try the Tomo Special Maki, which has tempura, mango, lettuce, salmon, and asparagus. The Roasted Salmon Maki is a close contender—how can you say no to a torched salmon roll with cucumber bits? At Tomo, serving flawless Japanese cuisine is serious business. Savor their creations once, and you will have no choice but to keep coming back for more.
