Tomo | Japanese Restaurant - Arcata (CA)

5 /5 Roman Battaglia: The food was great, and not too expensive, especially during happy hour. Im always happy to see sushi restaurants offer a variety of vegetarian sushi options. The only thing that could be improved is maybe little markers to indicate vegetarian options, especially for sushi, since it could be a little tricky to decipher.

5 /5 Limitless: Nice and super attentive servers. Good food. The tofu teriyaki is a bit sweet, but the texture is very interesting, Ive never had tofu made like that anywhere else. My dinner bento box comes with a spicy tofu roll which tastes amazing, and a salad which is supposed to have shrimps but they skipped it even though I didnt even ask. I guess they figured that out themselves because I ordered all vegetarian items. They sat us right next to the fish tank because I took a picture of it first thing when we walked in. I love it when people detect these subtleties. The bathroom is shared with a hotel, clean and well stocked, and it requires a code to enter.

3 /5 The Simple Environmentalist: Food is decent. But the price for some of the dishes is outrageous. I’m glad we ended up sharing instead of ordering things for ourselves to save some money. The place is nice and the staff is lovely but I’m not sure I can justify these prices for food taste that doesn’t match. Presentation is great!

4 /5 Dru Looks: My salmon teriyaki was well executed, rich in flavor. The restaurant decor and atmosphere wasn’t inviting and with flies hovering around, it didn’t feel clean. Men’s urinals which being to the hotel have no privacy at all. Overall the whole experience was underwhelming besides my dish.
