“ From the moment we stepped into Sushi Tomoki, we were greeted with a warm welcome that set the stage for what would become an unforgettable dining experience. The modern interior and vibrant atmosphere perfectly complemented the culinary journey that awaited us. We opted for the Omakase UME No 1 (80) and were treated to a meticulously crafted progression of courses. The experience began with exquisite Akame Toro sashimi that simply melted in our mouths - the freshness was remarkable! This was followed by 10 pieces of expertly prepared sushi, each piece showcasing the chef's dedication to quality and technique. The hand roll was a particular standout - perfectly crisp nori wrapped around warm rice and the freshest fish. The meal was complemented by a soothing miso soup that provided a wonderful balance to the rich flavors of the sushi. The seared salmon roll with truffle was an unexpected highlight - the delicate sear enhancing the buttery salmon while the truffle added a luxurious earthiness that elevated the entire dish. To accompany our meal, we enjoyed Asahi on draft - crisp, refreshing, and the perfect partner to the delicate flavors of the fish. Just when we thought the experience couldn't get any better, dessert arrived and absolutely made our night! A divine mixture of lychee and yuzu ice cream served with green tea mochi provided the perfect sweet finale to our meal. The restaurant was buzzing with other diners clearly enjoying their meals as much as we were, creating a lively yet intimate atmosphere. If you're looking for an authentic, high-quality omakase experience that delivers on every level, Sushi Tomoki is a must-visit. The attention to detail, quality of ingredients, and warm service make this place truly special. Don’t forget to make a resy! ”
“ There’s a plethora of fantastic sushi spots in Studio City but this probably is up there in terms of quality, flavor, and overall experience. There is a parking lot with limited seating otherwise you’ll have to find street parking. Service was friendly and quick. Started off with your standard edamame and their spicy tuna crispy rice which was excellent and one of the better ones I’ve had. My favorite though was the cut roll that we got. It was a 10 piece roll that came with two side by side sauces. I think it was the dragon roll but not sure. It was probably the best custom roll I’ve ever had. Both sauces were divine and you didn’t need soy. Would highly recommend and book a reservation. They have an extensive sake selection as well. ”
“ This restaurant is a sashimi and sushi lover's dream. The fish is incredibly fresh and flavorful, a true testament to quality. The service is impeccable, attentive and warm, enhancing the dining experience. The wooden decor creates a cozy, authentic Japanese ambiance. Staffed by friendly Japanese individuals, it feels genuinely welcoming. Every bite is a delight, showcasing masterful preparation. A must-visit for anyone seeking genuine Japanese cuisine. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip, radiating a serene warmth. Simply put, an exceptional culinary experience. ”
“ I dined at Sushi Tomoki last year and can’t stop thinking about the experience—or planning my next visit. I opted for the omakase (#2), my usual choice when I want to truly experience a sushi restaurant’s best. Each dish surpassed the last, and just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, it did. The fish was so fresh it practically melted in my mouth, and the combinations of ingredients were perfectly balanced and inventive. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and attention to detail. This place is a true standout for sushi lovers. ”
“ Truly awesome spot for top-quality absolutely delicious sushi. The menu is pretty small when it comes to rolls with only a handful of options, but we tried most of them and they were all equally unbelievable. I couldn’t get over how fresh and clean the fish tasted. Each piece of nigiri, from the scallops to the salmon belly were each artfully plated and uniquely seasoned/garnished which made them all stand out. Exceptional! Service is also incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive — the ladies working were so polite and sweet. ”
“ I’m from Miami, and I had the chance to discover this place purely by luck—and let me tell you, it absolutely deserves a spot on the Michelin list. What a delight! The fish cuts were exquisite, the tuna was sublime, and the flavor combinations were both subtle and perfectly balanced. Simply outstanding—Bravo! ”
“ We were greeted as soon as we walked in which always set up a good dinner. We ordered several rolls which initially looked like a lot since technically there were more pieces but I loved that the rolls were small (bite sized) with less rice. We also ordered nigiri black cod and halibut both were delicious but omg the black cod was definitely the winner for the night. Also ordered the following rolls: Albacore Fried Onion - Inside: spicy tuna. Outside: albacore Yuzu Ponzu - Inside: spicy tuna. Outside: yellowtail Zero - Inside: real crab. Outside: albacore. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Ambiance was casual, clean, bright and modern. Definitely adding this to the sushi rotation. ”
