Japanese Cuisine in the Boro

Tomo Sushi is one of the best place to get sushi in Glassboro. They have some of the best deals, friendliest staff, fastest serving times, the freshest Sushi I have ever eaten, and the atmosphere is superb. If you are a connoisseur of Japanese cuisine then you must be aware of the local places such as Tokyo Mandarin or the Peking Buffet. I’ve eaten at numerous other Sushi bars and Japanese restaurants in the area and I can honestly say none of them compare to Tomo Sushi. Allow me to explain so you do not assume I am merely a walking advertisement paid under the table by the restaurant’s owner. Even if that were the case, you have no proof!
Firstly it is necessary to discuss the preeminent selling point of Tomo, and that is the All-You-Can-Eat deal for only twenty dollars. I recall visiting the restaurant many a time and eating well over sixty dollars worth of sushi for the comfortable price of a CD. I know what you’re thinking… CDs? Where is this guy from, the 90’s? But the fact remains that if one had eaten that amount of sushi at any other restaurant the bill would be well over sixty dollars(Trust me, I have). So for those of you who can eat over twenty dollars of sushi, coming to Tomo Sushi will save you a pretty penny. And for those who are not excited by the all-you-can-eat extravaganza consider this, Tomo offers a number of other meals that I can assure you are well worth the price.
If you are unsure of my biases consider this review, “Everything I’ve had here has been fantastic, and I didn’t even like sushi when I started coming here,” (Review 1). I have brought various friends to this place who did not like sushi as well and the result was phenomenal. “Its cheap prices and wonderful food make it an experience that can’t be missed,” (Review 2). Tomo’s success is due in part to how it boasts the quantity of a buffet while simultaneously maintaining the quality of a places like Tokyo Mandarin and Sagami’s.
Another reason Tomo Sushi trumps the competition is simply: the food is exquisite. Not only does Tomo have some of the best deals but also the freshest fish. The place is so busy that they don’t have the time to serve you old sushi, everything is made on the spot the moment you place your order. I’m always for quality over quantity and Tomo embodies both, you can eat to excess like the proud American you are and still enjoy the spirituality of Japanese cuisine. But none of my descriptions or witticisms will do the food justice until one tries it for themselves. I’ve found the thing that really attracts me to the restaurant is the taste, plain and simple.
However, that’s not to say it’s all about the food. The atmosphere is very pleasant as well, and rarely is there a place where one can find such variety for the prices offered. There is not much to say about the quaint teahouse style of Tomo Sushi, it is not unlike many other traditional Japanese restaurants (that is to say, tanquil), but the service is impressive. The servers are both friendly and efficient, and after the initial wait, one can expect the food to keep coming at a surprising rate. “Everything was made fresh on sight. It was super clean quiet and cozy with a nice sized booth. I'd go back in heartbeat,” (Review 1, Yelp.com).
I’m sure by this time you’ll have assumed from my praise that Tomo Sushi is the preeminent provider of Japanese food in the state. But I do not mean to lessen the impact of the restaurant by overrating it, even though I’ve already accomplished that. If you do intend to make a culinary odyssey to Tomo I will merely say this; Do not hang on my words for you are setting yourself up for disappointment, rather enter the restaurant with an open mind, and let the food speak for itself.
