Tomo Sushi & Sashimi

Was in TOMO twice last week after I haven’t been there for more then a year and it was as great, if not better, as it was last time! Amazing sushi amazing prices! Wish I lived closer so I can visit more

I love special udong soup… seafood udong soup and tempura with 3 piece of sushi, California roll. I live suop

When this place first open it was great. But just recently I got two shrimp tempura roll to go and when I got home my rolls were falling apart and it just didn’t taste as good as it use to be. The service however was very good.

This is the best sushi I’ve ever had! We’re especially fond of the salmon sashimi tomo– it’s seriously delicious and tender. Most of the rolls we’ve had so far have been really good. My favorite is the Spicy Salmon Crunch.
The guy who works there is super friendly and always reminds us of their Wednesday deals (buy 2 rolls, get 1 free). We typically order to-​go, and they’re pretty fast– it’s usually ready within 20 – 25 minutes.
Highly recommend!

Tucked away in a Koran market food court, lies an unexpected surprise. Tomo Sushi by and far surprised me, in a good way. The sushi is good, service is friendly and quick! I got the tuna salad bowl which came out promptly from the chef. The bowl itself is huge and has a lot of tuna sashimi pieces atop a large bed of fresh greens, radish, perfectly sliced carrots and cucumbers. This comes with a bowl of white rice, miso soup and spicy red salad dressing. The dressing is the best part of the salad! We came on a Wednesday and found that they have a buy two rolls, get one free special. We ordered the spider roll, sweetheart roll and tiger roll. All of them came out quickly and we’re all delicious. Although this is in a food court, do not be mislead. The sushi here is great and definitely worth the money on Wednesdays! I highly recommend this place for a quick and casual bite to eat. I’ll have to come back to Tomo to try more of their delicious food!

Can easily say this was some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The price was fair too.

Super fresh food and at great prices. Owner is a very cool guy who always remembers his customers.
Great party platters!

One of the best Sushi restaurants I’ve ever been to and I’ve been around to numerous other sushi places in and around Philadelphia. The deal on Wednesday makes this place an absolute must go, you buy 2 get 1 free. The prices are fairly reasonable as well.

Been here for the first time yesterday. I sat directly in front the chef which was great to watch and wonderful to eat. I ordered shrimp tempura which is my favorite. 5 thumbs up.

solid sushi restaurant that is part of the food court located on the 2^nd floor of the H-​mart. Their sushi tastes above average and their prices are comparable to other sushi joints around philly.
Random side note, they cannot serve hot tea here because according to the bylaws of the food court, the restaurant right next to them already sells tea, making them unable to sell any… for anyone who loves drinking hot tea with their sushi, heads up!

Fantastic service, I love this place! I come here every once in a while to indulge in my sushi cravings. It’s on the pricey side but the meal options are generous. The guys are so nice about explaining the sushi options, what’s in them and how it’s made. And I definitely appreciate the buy two get one free Wednesday option!

This place reminds me of those «best kept secrects» that mainly only the locals know about that you see on those PBS travel shows. My lady and I are vegan and even though there are only a handful of options for us on the menu, all of them are absolutely fresh, delicious and fully satisfying. The avocado rolls, and cucumber rolls were the best we’ve had. Although the ingredients are simple, they are fresh and full of flavor. Suprisingly, they were filling as well. Two rolls filled me up but they were so good that I managed to eat another roll. If you eat fried, their sweet potato tempura roll is amazing. The contrast of testures of soft sticky rice and crunchy tempura were the perfect vessel for the soft and chewy sweet potato. For desert, their pumpkin tempura was fun and yummy. It left a lingering, sweet delicious flavor in your mouth. It looked almost like friend shrimp! They also give you a small miso soup with your order!
The staff was also very friendly. Weds is buy 2 get 1 free. It’s a great deal.
Sure, this is in a food court but it’s almost like being in a different world away from 69^th street. There are some make-​up and houseware shops on the same floor. It’s kinda fun to walk around if its your first time there. The H Mart downstairs had some great hot sauce and stir fry sauces as well as tea. Parking was no problem outside. It’s metered but a quarter gets you 45 mins.

My mom loves this place! She says the fish is fresh and she likes the options.
Her favorite is the Play Girl (cucumber, avocado, spicy salmon with more spicy salmon)
Mine is the Eel Dragon (cucumber eel, eel, avocado crunch, sauce, scallion, masago)
The people working there are very friendly and you get your order pretty quickly.
The only thing I would say is that they have a lot of repeating tempura options and a lot of them seem to be the same. I am not really a tempura for sushi fan so I would like to see more raw options and this would get a 5 star from me.
It is on my top 3 favorite sushi places though!

I love it Was the best sushi i ever try fresh products and wonderfull Flavor i got a pink lady its sweet crab and tempura shrimp and some cryspy things in top omg the sauce its so yummi

YAHOOOOO! Awesome sushi. I came here for the 2 for 1 rolls and for $ 20.00 I left with three massive rolls. They were delicious. The service was super quick. Do call ahead! They can have your rolls ready for when you get there!

This is by far the most delectable, palatable sushi place I have ever tried– and i have tried many! Their rolls are to travel for! This place definitely deserves more hype but because its located in a corner of a food court at H-​Mart– far too few people can spot it so that must be the only reason the hype is not hype! (Its also located on 69^th street)
I love going on Wednesdays because if you buy any two rolls you get the third free!
My favorite rolls I have tried are: Pink Lady, Bad Girl and Tiger. the thing about these sushi rolls is that its different– yes they are specialty rolls but they are not basic sushi! They have a unique flavor and taste to them that only make you crave them throughout your life. Oh and the crunch they add to the sushi is absolutely delicious! Trust me, these rolls wont disappoint!

NOTE: As of Dec 2014, the menu at Tomo has changed and I suspect it might be under new management. Not sure what that means for the quality of the sushi — will update my review after I get a chance to check it out!
****************
One of Upper Darby’s best kept secrets, the Terminal Square H-​Mart near 69^th Street plays host to one of the best sushi joints in Philadelphia. Though located in a supermarket food court, the sushi at Tomo is decidedly not your typical food court fare. I would recommend trying the simpler, more authentic sushi options here. The nigiri-​zushi (single piece of sliced fish on top of rice, without wrapping) is particularly good. The fish here always tastes clear and flavorful, even without any condiments – the true mark of good, fresh fish – and the rice is lightly vinegared and topped with a dash of zingy wasabi. The precision of the craftsmanship is quite remarkable – you can really taste the difference; though simply fish on rice, the nigiri-​zushi is surprisingly satisfying. You can also find on the menu the usual Americanized California Superman Dragon Rolls, topped with avocado, cream cheese, and pizza sauce (kidding about the pizza sauce) – but even these are executed more nicely than what you’d usually find around town. For the sushi itself, I would easily pick this place over other sushi restaurants in Philly, even though the ambiance and location leave something to be desired.
I suspect – though haven’t actually confirmed – that the chefs here are actually Japanese-​trained; a claim that few sushi shops on this side of the Pacific can make.

Always great! I’ve tried a bunch of stuff on the menu and it’s always fresh. I recommend the sweetheart roll. Very consistent service. I highly recommend them for 1^st time sushi eaters. They got me hooked.

Having H-​Mart just below your restaurant where fresh ingredients are always available helps this restaurant provide really good and fresh sushi. The fish is fresh and the rice is the right consistency and flavor.
I would say that the portion size is pretty big and the hand rolls are a little bigger then I am used to, however the different flavors and sauces that they provide are delicious.
Don’t expect a great seating and ambience unless you like the cafeteria style seating in the best food court in town :-)

I chose to give Tomo a try based on the Unilocal rating and the great review by Vanessa W. Intrigued by my curiosity of setting sushi on fire, I described to the chef what I had read and was told it is a sushi roll filled with crab and tuna called, «Kiss of Fire». Nothing was out of the ordinary as they prepared the roll, but then they poured some fluid on a plate and lit it ablaze! After a few minutes cooking in this manner, the fire went out and I began to dig in. The first bite was a little smoky and not what I was accustomed to in my sushi. I had to pause for a moment and determine whether I had chosen the wrong dish for the sake of the presentation. By the third bite, I had become accustomed to the taste and found it delightful. It grew on me very quickly. Needless to say, I had no problems finishing the rest of it.
If you’re looking for some fantastic sushi and perhaps something a little different like sushi on fire, Tomo is a great choice!
