Tomikawa Sushi Bar Restaurant in California

"We would give this place ten stars if we could. We ate there last Wednesday and it was our first time there. Food was excellent! We ordered beef teriyaki/tempura and chicken teriyaki/tempura.The house dressing on the salad was amazing! Everything was amazing. Our server Terry provided us with top notch service. Terry was very attentive and regularly refilled our drinks and checked in on us. We will be back there again!"

"My husband took me here for my birthday dinner, and overall, I’d give the restaurant a solid four stars. The service started off great—the waiters were very attentive and made sure our table was always taken care of. The restaurant itself was clean, calm, and had a nice romantic atmosphere, which made the evening feel special. The food was good, but I do have a few critiques. The sushi rolls were generous in size, so you’ll definitely leave full. My favorite was the shrimp tempura roll—it was crispy, flavorful, and well-balanced. The spider roll was also delicious with its crispy soft-shell crab, and the sumo roll ended up being my husband’s favorite (my second favorite). The Las Vegas roll was decent, but it had a flavor I didn’t quite enjoy. As for appetizers, we tried the chicken gyoza, which were decent, though the sauce was way too salty—it tasted like plain soy sauce. I would’ve preferred something more sweet and savory to balance it out. We also ordered the spicy chicken, but it really lacked spice, and the spicy garlic edamame could’ve used more seasoning as well. I also had the crab hand roll, which was good but, again, the crab filling was bland and needed more flavor. The same goes for the crab in the sushi—it just didn’t stand out. For nigiri, we ordered tuna, salmon, and shrimp. Personally, I prefer wild salmon or tuna for better quality and flavor, so I’d recommend checking on that before ordering. A couple of downsides: we had to wait about an hour to be seated, even though there were empty tables, and the Coke they served was flat with no carbonation, so I didn’t even want a refill. Despite these small setbacks, I really enjoyed the dinner. The rolls were tasty and filling, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was lovely. I’d definitely come back again."

"Nice sushi restaurant. Clean with nice ambience. Staff is friendly and helpful. There's plenty of inside seeting. They have a great happy hour menu. It ends at 6pm. Needless to say, it gets super busy. The food is fresh and good and the prices are reasonable especially for happy hour. Portions are adequate."

"Great All You Can Eat sushi with very fresh and delicious food. Everything we tried tasted amazing and the service was fast and attentive. AYCE rules are fair (everyone at the table must participate and food must be finished). The only downside is the wait — we waited about 1 hour 45 minutes on a Saturday evening. Still, absolutely worth it for the quality and taste."

"Great all you can eat sushi, fresh n tasty variety, good service, fun times..."

"Have been multiple times with family. This is my first AYCE. I’m not big eater or fan of AYCE. This is exceptional. It offers very good value. Fresh fish, tasty sushi rice, attentive service. Will come back again"

"Visiting Orange County from San Francisco Bay Area. Our hosts invited us to Tomikawa for lunch. We were very impressed by the quality of the sushi, the sushi rice (a key factor) and the side dishes. The staff are very friendly and gave us exceptional service with a genuine smile. Highly recommended for Sushi lovers."

"Great sushi bar! The food is very fresh. The idea of having several round sounds great but honestly, we were all done after the first round. Note: you can’t leave food on table after each round, so in order to move on, the plates need to be cleared."
