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.

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.

Ive been going to this restaurant for at least 15 years. This is my current favorite sushi place in Humboldt. Its ALWAYS done right. They have a wide variety and its always been fresh. Never sloppy.They can get very busy on the weekends though, just a heads up. Try to come before 6pm to get a table

If the photo below doesnt encourage you to try this place out, if you havent already, bless your soul. I have never been disappointed by Tomos service, rolls, and delivery of food items. Everything Ive tried here is made with detail and so much flavor! Please be adventurous when going here. You wont be disappointed!

We went during their happy hour and I must say that, though expensive for small portions, their happy hour appetizers are DELICIOUS! Their chicken was so perfect and they had actual karaage! Super light and crispy.I was a little sad by the lack of variety, it felt like, from their sushi menu. Especially as someone who is practically obsessed with unagi. I must say though, every fish/meat that we got was cooked absolutely flawlessly. Perfectly done.And they have ramune!!

Disappointing...and it was highly recommended to me so that made it even more disappointing.I am not into drinking so this isnt a review of their happy hour. I ordered the fried prawns, their number 4 specialty roll, a BBQ eel roll with tamago and I think a Philadelphia roll along with a miso soup. While the soup was good, and the Philadelphia roll average, the prawns were crispy enough but I didnt understand the sauce you were supposed to dip it in. It was like watery, bland, vaguely lemony or gingery broth with green onion floating in it giving it no extra taste. I didnt end up liking the eel but that is personal taste so my husband took that one. The specialty roll ended up being one of those oversized rolls that are wide with the nori on the outside, and it was also so bland and the fish had a strange texture. It didnt seem like anything in that roll was really done well including the rice, which might have been overdone or too starchy or something, it just wasnt good. They at least comped that one when we told them about it so that was nice.

Great local sushi spot! Full bar. Large dining space. Not only is their food delicious, but their presentation is on point too! I also appreciate that their tables are spread out a good distance during Covid and staff members wear masks. They get busy, so plan accordingly.

#1 dont be in a hurry. Food came out Very slowly. We ordered dinner combo with each having choice of main and a roll. Ordered lemon drop martinis and I sent mine back as it was just straight vodka. The second was better but not great. My husband said later he should have sent his back too. Both left sitting on the table. Food arrived 1 hour 15 minutes after ordering. And we left 15 minutes after it arrived. We did have nice lunches the next day. Katsu chicken was dry however.
