In our country sushi still isn't a very popular kind of food, but it has more and more believers. Caution can spring from the lack of reliance on the freshness of the fish and doubts about the cleanliness of the kitchen. If you are not careful, you know where you could spend the next 24 hours after eating an exotic dinner. In spite of what you might think, sushi restaurants do not only serve raw fish. Everybody who is afraid for his health can find different tasty dishes in the menu.
I have eaten sushi in a few restaurants in Warsaw. My family and I highly recommend Tomo Sushi restaurant on Krucza Street. It has a lot of plus points.
In the first place, it has very good food – even for these who don't like sushi. My son enjoys tempura prawns with sweet or spicy sauce. Occasionally, the restaurant serves unusual dishes that require fresh products. We ate delicious octopus with a pickled turnip salad.
Enthusiasts of sushi will find here fish-based dishes like nigiri, sashimi and maki, and bivalves, vegetables, molluscs and mushrooms. My husband usually tries new dishes. Recently he ordered maguro tataki with ponzu sauce and shiromi usuzukuri - whitefish carpaccio. Both dishes, although exotic by name, were excellent. My favourite is maki with baked perch or eel, or California with crab.
If you find a free place at the bar, then every miniature work of art on a plate will come to you on a small wooden boat floating around the bar.
The second undisputed value of this restaurant is the people. In Japanese, Tomo means a person close to you, a friend, and it seems that the employees take this very seriously. Thanks to the courtesy of the manager and the fantastic sushi-makers, we had my daughter's ninth birthday party there. My young fan of Japanese food was even able to prepare her own sushi under the watchful eye of Tomo Sushi master.
Although the restaurant is rather expensive, once in a while we visit Tomo Sushi with pleasure.
