This is a good restaurant. The service was great and the food was even better. I didn't know it was a BYOB but it didn't matter. The pork buns were the best! My only complaint is feeling the cold air when the door was opened, which happened a lot due to so many pick u orders. Other than that, definitely was a good time.

One of Philly’s Best Sushi Spots! 🍣 If you’re looking for fresh, flavorful sushi in Philly, Tomo Sushi & Ramen absolutely delivers. I’ve been to plenty of sushi spots around the city, and this one ranks among the best. Plus, with their new expansion, there’s more space to sit back, relax, and enjoy some seriously good food. Here’s what I had: 🍣 Tomo: Spicy tuna roll with avocado, cilantro, and seared tuna – Super fresh, great balance of heat and creaminess, and the cilantro added a nice pop. 🍤Red Shrimp Shrimp tempura roll topped with seared spicy tuna & sweet miso sauce – Crispy, flavorful, and that miso sauce tied everything together perfectly. 🐟 Yellowtail with scallion – Simple, clean, and ridiculously fresh. 🦪 Spicy scallop roll – Buttery, tender, and packed with umami. 🍜 Miso soup – Honestly, one of the best I’ve had. Deep, rich, and full of flavor. Everything was beautifully prepared, super fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell the chefs at Tomo really care about their ingredients and presentation. Final verdict: Tomo is easily one of the best sushi spots in Philly. Fresh fish, great flavors, and now with even more space to enjoy it all. Highly recommend!

Best Vegan Sushi options we have found in Philadelphia. The overall vibe is laid back rather than formal, the food quality very good to superb depending on the dish. If you like Sushi and prefer to have vegan options as part if not all of your meal, give this place a shot.

I love Tomo overall. We are visiting from out of town, and I always make sure to come in when we are around. Every time I have dined, it has been a pretty solid experience. Management seemed engaged today, which I appreciate. However, the hostess came across a bit (for lack of a better term) rude. Almost as if we were an inconvenience (with a reservation… that we weren’t late for). I also thought it was a bit strange that we were seated at the smallest table in the restaurant (normally, as a table of 2, I don’t think twice- most tables were occupied with parties of 2 at tables for 4) even though there were quite a few larger tables open (my spouse is a large man… dwarfing the table). Food is great, though. The quality is great. Next time I’ll make sure to put “date” as the “occasion” when making the reservation in hopes of a more intimate experience.

I celebrated my birthday here last year with family and today was just me with my kids. It was so lovely, delicious, and perfect! It’s easily my favorite sushi and ramen restaurant. They even brought out some complimentary vegan mochi for my birthday! 10/10 would recommend every single time. They never miss
