Entrees and Rice Bowls
If you’re looking for something a little heartier than sushi rolls, Tomo Sushi has a great selection of entrees and rice bowls to satisfy your hunger.
Teriyaki (Chicken, Beef, Salmon)
Tomo’s teriyaki is made with a house-made teriyaki sauce that’s both sweet and savory, made from soy sauce, sake, mirin, and a touch of ginger. Your choice of perfectly grilled chicken, thinly sliced beef, or flaky salmon is glazed with the sauce and served alongside a scoop of steamed rice and a fresh garden salad with ginger dressing.
Katsu (Chicken, Pork)
Katsu is a Japanese classic, and Tomo’s version is one of the best around. A cutlet of chicken or pork is breaded in panko breadcrumbs and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. It’s served with a tangy katsu sauce, a side of steamed rice, and a scoop of creamy potato salad.
Donburi (Rice Bowls)
Donburi are rice bowls topped with a variety of delicious ingredients.

Noodles
Beyond sushi, Tomo also offers a variety of delicious noodle dishes.
Ramen
Our ramen starts with a rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. We use thin, wavy noodles that grab all the deliciousness of the broth. You’ll find classic toppings like tender chashu pork, a soft-boiled egg, and strips of dried seaweed.
Udon
If you prefer a thicker noodle, try our udon. These thick wheat noodles are chewy and satisfying. We offer them in a variety of preparations, including tempura udon, with crispy fried shrimp and vegetables, and kitsune udon, topped with sweet, simmered tofu.
Soba
For a lighter option, try our soba noodles. These thin noodles are made from buckwheat flour and have a slightly nutty flavor. A popular way to enjoy them is zaru soba, which is cold soba served with a flavorful dipping sauce.
