Sushi Tomi

Although we had eaten great during our vacation in Europe, we needed to fill our sushi cravings, so we went to Sushi Tomi our second day back in the states. We had been to the popular Mountain view restaurant before, but this time it was just the two of us so we could have a nirigi focused lunch.

Snapper soup

The snapper soup came with the mini charashi lunch special. The tasty soup was naturally sweeten by the fish bits and was a nice start.

Mini charashi

The mini charashi was the lunch special, cheap and filling. Because it was only ten bucks, the dish was filled with the cheap end pieces and edges, obviously not the cream of the crop. However, you can't really complain for ten bucks, especially because of the tasty expected gem of a very flavorful tuna salad which was very addicting.

Tako, Hotate, Kanpachi, Sake, Spicy Tuna Roll

We ordered a variety of nigiri, including tako, hotate, kanpachi, sake and spicy tuna roll. That first bite of salmon was really awesome, silky, fatty and yummy. All of the nigiri was good, better than last time, probably because we got to enjoy it this time without having to  worry about the kids. 

Ami ebi, Aji nigiri

We also had an order of ami ebi and aji nigiri. Both solid, but not as good as our first batch.

Fried shrimp heads

I honestly order ami ebi for the awesome fried shrimp heads, they're delicious. We ordered way too much for lunch, but left happy. This is becoming a go to place for us for good consistent sushi in the south bay.
