   Went here for my birthday. Ambiance, staff, service was all wonderful! We ordered “Tokyo Drifter?” From the menu which was delicious but tasted like a basic Old Fashioned. The cultured butter with the bread was delicious. Silky egg custard was good and had the most Japanese flavor to it. Two other dishes tasted more Chinese than Japanese w the chili crunch (crab rice) and halibut sauce. Went there expecting delicate Japanese fusion flavors and was a bit disappointed as it was more Chinese. Also- as we walked out the door the bartender said “Is it your birthday? Happy birthday!” Which I found strange that she knew but didn’t say it earlier. Many places have offered a complimentary dessert or drink on my birthday so that felt a little odd too if she knew.

   Tomo is a truly remarkable dining experience. We've been many times, and each time, we walk away in awe.

   Loved the gem salad which we got by accident, and the pork was to die for.

   We had a wonderful 50th birthday celebration for a girlfriend of mine. It was all of our groups first time and we loved it. We will be back.

   Everything was incredible. We were lucky enough to have a table looking directly into the kitchen and it was an impressive show out on by everyone involved. The food was insanely good.

   We were so disappointed with the Valentine’s dinner when we’ve had a good experience every other time we’ve gone. I’d advise against special menus.

   Experience was okay to good. The set menu actually was not bad but for the price we paid, the lackluster explanation of the food, and the very deceptive thing of saying that the service charge is withheld by Tomo made us think that the servers were not getting paid. We had to look up the website if the servers were getting paid and the wording of "tip" was very shady. Proper explanation like Molly Moon where the servers are getting paid would be good to understand. Ended up paying $500+ for a so-so set menu, 1 accompaniment and just 1 non-alcoholic drink and 3 small bottles of sparkling water was way over priced.

   Wonderful food and interesting wine combinations. Price seemed a bit high.

    It took ages for our food to arrive, our server was nowhere to be found. The food was good, but our server also declined to serve our birthday celebrant a dessert cocktail (it would have been #5 on a >3 hour dinner), our small party was quiet and not rowdy, the rest of our party had only 2-3 drinks, and we had a designated driver. It was startling, especially after the inattentive service. At the end they presented me with a bill for over $700 including a 22% auto gratuity for being ignored half the night and I had to ask them to remove items they never bothered to serve us. It was ok. I liked the vibe, if not our server, but it wasn't worth the $700 check. I love dining out in Seattle but if I'm spending that kind of money, I'll be spending it at places like Archipelago or Herbfarm where you get the food, the service, the ambiance, and none of the sloppy dismissiveness.
