I went to this restaurant on a solo vacation trip, and had an absolute amazing time. The drinks were amazing, the service was top notch, and the food was Fantastic. They had the best Miso Soup I have ever had at any restaurant ever, and I had asked for a second bowl, praising it. The owner came by and gave me a third bowl of Miso Soup on the house, saying that was the best compliment they’ve gotten on it. At the end, I had eaten so much I couldn’t finish my entree and had to take it to go. I loved my experience so much I had to buy a shirt, and spoke to the owner for a while about my trip. Overall, I had the best eating experience during my trip at this restaurant, and look forward to coming back again at some point in the future

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!

The food was great, and not too expensive, especially during happy hour. I’m 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.

Nice and super attentive servers. Good food. The tofu teriyaki is a bit sweet, but the texture is very interesting, I’ve 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 didn’t 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.

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.

Our server, Luis, was fantastic, but the place is clearly understaffed. The wait times to order and receive food were long. However, the the food was great and very well priced. For appetizers, we ordered fried scallops and rainbow poké. Both were good, poké was better. For rolls, we ordered #4, #7, and the special Coco cabana roll. All were good but the special rolls was by far the best. Worth noting, most rolls were cooked opposed to raw, might be a common for the area.

Tomo Japanese Restaurant in Arcata, California, is my ultimate happy hour spot. Tucked away in town, it’s a haven for delicious Japanese cuisine and unbeatable deals.
During happy hour, Tomo’s menu shines with tempting offerings, including my personal favorite, the “Humboldt Hunny” roll. It’s a burst of flavor that keeps me coming back for more.
What sets Tomo apart is their attention to every detail, including catering to dietary preferences like offering a vegetarian miso soup—an uncommon find in town.
The service, led by stellar staff like Melisha, is consistently excellent, adding a personalized touch to every visit.
Tomo Japanese Restaurant is a must-visit in Arcata for its delightful happy hour, flavorful dishes, and exceptional service. Don’t miss out on this local gem!

Excellent restaurant! The pork Gyoza was light and delicious and had a wonderful sauce. The #1 specialty roll was phenomenal. The nigiri had maybe a little too much rice for my preference, but the fish was high quality. Overall I loved this place and our server, Braelyn, was so nice and helpful.

What a wonderful restaurant! I highly recommend the combination with sushi. I had the ling cod and larrapin station roll. Both were absolutely delicious! Also recommend the oyster shooters and sake colada.
