The restaurant is relaxed and the service is friendly. The Bento box was a winner although there was a bit of a wait for it. The rest of the food came quite quickly though and tasted great. The menu has a good selection of Japanese dishes besides sushi. The prices are reasonable by Cape Town standards. I will visit again.

Consider it is in city Centre, there was expectation, but the rice was not correct to start with, chief skill was definately not professional, self tough, as the nigiri, fish v.s. rice, proportion is incorrect plus the sources (too much takes the taste away), the fish was not even in the "right" part to be used for various plates, the various rolls we ordered all taste the same -- because too much of the source and same source applies to all. The handroll seaweeds packet has been opened for a while, to has contain "other" taste. The fried goods was too oily, the batter was incorrect, not Japanese style at all, consider I am in a Japanese restaurant.Presentation was poor. The Chief uniform needs a good wash. Anyway go with low expectation incase of major disappointment.

We booked a table of 12 for a special occasion and liaised with the restaurant before hand to ensure all ran smooth. On the evening the Tomo team ensured we had a special space and service was attentive and top notch all evening.Most important was the level of food! Amazing dim sum, fresh and tasty. Sushi was top class and sashimi melt in mouth , detail right down to wasabi and condiments for dim sum excellently balanced. Service from beginning to end of evening excellent and I will happily be back to experience a beautiful authentic Japanese food offering. Well done and can not wait to come back

Worst and most bizarre restaurant experience ever. One plate of food was brought at a time and 3 people were always without food while 1 person was eating... Considering we ordered a mix of various plates the lunch took us 2 hrs. We were the only customers there. It was shocking and no apology from anyone. Would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Walked past this place that didn’t look like much From the outside, but don’t let the looks fool you. I’m used to some very good sushi back home, and this place could easily fit in. Great, great sushi! Highly recommended

Unfortunately the lunch we had at Tomo today was very disappointing, and certainly at odds with most of the reviews on TripAdvisor. The Miso soup was far too salty, the dumplings tasted like rubber, and the rice of the California roll was overcooked and as a result tasted stodgy. The only positives were good, friendly service and a simple interior that did evoke a traditional Japanese restaurant.

Wonderful service, pleasant atmosphere, simple decor, sushi amazingly fresh and flavourful. Definitely try the Miso soup, sushi, and Salmon-Miso Yuanyaki,

Brilliant food with a great menu. The decor is simple and the ambience is lovely and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Best Miso soup I have ever had. Come here instead of Haiku down the road. Nice - not showy or overbearing like so many restos in CPT - staff.

Very traditional sushi and dumplings, they specialize in dumplings, so don’t forget to try them. Tuna Sashimi was great!
