About this place
At Tomi, the choices range from the classic izakaya start of drinks with sashimi to a satisfying final dish. Diners have praised the sashimi platter and seafood dishes, and the menu includes a mixed sashimi platter, wild-caught bluefin tuna and shime-saba (vinegar-cured mackerel). For a seafood-focused meal, consider soy-marinated fresh salmon roe or salted water squid among the drinking snacks, or grilled salted kinmedai collar from the grilled dishes. Whether you fancy a single plate to enjoy over a leisurely drink or sashimi to share with a group, there is room to shape the meal to your taste.
Some of the non-fish dishes leave a strong impression, too. One diner singled out the fried pig’s trotters, tomato tempura and peperoncino fried rice as favourites they order again and again. The menu offers pig’s trotters either grilled with salt or fried, as well as tomato tempura. These distinctive dishes can make an interesting addition to a selection of snacks. To finish, there is peperoncino fried rice, along with ochazuke (rice in broth) and rice balls in your choice of ume plum, salmon or mentaiko (spicy cod roe). Teppan Napolitan spaghetti comes topped with a soft-boiled egg, too, adding to the options for a more substantial izakaya meal. A diner who chose a course with all-you-can-drink also commented on enjoying the sashimi and other dishes.
Some diners have found the dining room small, with tables close together, so it may be worth booking if you are eating as a group. At dinner, Tomi suits both a shared meal centred on sashimi and a more casual drink with a few favourite snacks.
