While traveling through Lima, I made a reservation at Tomo with great anticipation, drawn by its reputation as one of the city’s top culinary destinations. With high hopes, I began the meal by ordering two types of Tiraditos — Salmon and Rocoto and Tobiche.nnThe Salmon and Rocoto felt rather ordinary — a typical fusion sashimi that didn’t leave much of an impression. Tobiche, on the other hand, stood out. It offered a unique and refreshing flavor not easily found at other restaurants, making it a memorable start.nnNext came the house Cebiche, served in a Loin sauce. This dish best captured the essence of “Tomo,” with its distinctively refreshing sauce and fresh, delicate fish. It was a plate that truly made the restaurant’s identity shine.nnHowever, the experience began to falter with the three kinds of Nigiri Sushi that followed. Two of them had off-putting combinations — one overly sweet and heavy, the other overwhelmed by mustard and mayonnaise flavors. Only the Sea Urchin Nigiri stood out, with its complex and evolving layers of flavor that unfolded beautifully with each bite.nnThe final course, the Maki Sushi, was the most disappointing of all. It lacked any depth of flavor, with such a dull combination of seasonings that it failed to stir the appetite in any way.nnAll in all, while a few dishes at Tomo were intriguing, the overall experience fell short of expectations. To me, Tomo is one of those restaurants that feels a bit overrated.
The food takes too long to be served and the price is a bit high, you can try another restaurant.
This is not traditional sushi. The nigiri was limited to glitzy mashups or fish and foie gras. This is a party-sushi place. I’m sure enjoyed by some. Overpriced and loud. Service was good and friendly.
This was insanely good, I went last year and when I'm back in Lima again I'm planning my entire trip around making sure I get back here. It was not cheap but was the best sushi I've had in my life and was worth every sol. SO SO SO good.
The food is delicious, with interesting but fleeting flavors. Portions are very small. The service is poor; they chat and laugh right next to the customer, and you have to call them to be served. The place is beautiful.
One of the best makis in Lima, the flavors exquisite with fresh ingredients; the appetizer that stood out the most was the duck gyozas.nThe atmosphere is very nice for a date or a quiet conversation, so the service is a 10/10.
I loved it, it just took a while.
We had a wonderful meal at Tomo, recommended by Luis Herreras, who couldn't have given us better recommendations. When we visit Peru again, we will definitely visit this restaurant again. Many thanks to all the staff, especially Luis H.
INCREDIBLE fusion of cuisines, everything delicious :)
Very good place, a different experience.
One of the best places i have tried in Lima. Excellent attention by Julio.
Fresh fish, good food, well seasoned, portion is quite small. The mandu is way too salty.
It started off well, but…nnFirst-rate cuisine. A fusion of Peruvian and Japanese flavors. A very interesting atmosphere. Initially, I received excellent service, sitting across from the chefs, but when friends arrived, I changed tables and was placed with a waiter who, while polite, tried to upsell us by persistently making suggestions. This made us very uncomfortable and ruined the entire experience. Despite the good rating, I probably won't return.
I was genuinely looking forward to dining at Tomo after hearing great things, especially following a stellar experience at Shizen. While the food was well-executed, the overall experience fell short, particularly for a space that positions itself at a fine-dining level.nnI was seated at the chef’s table, which I assumed would offer a more immersive and engaging view of the kitchen. Unfortunately, the seating was set noticeably lower than the counter, limiting visibility and interaction, an odd choice for what’s meant to be a highlight of the dining experience.nnMore importantly, the service felt cold and impersonal. Aside from a brief check-in, there was little warmth or effort to make the experience memorable. As someone who works as a professional within the hospitality industry, I understand how busy service can be. Still, genuine hospitality doesn't require extra time but presence.nnTomo is beautifully designed and technically skillful, but hospitality is more than what's on the plate. I left feeling more like a seat to be managed than a guest to be welcomed.
Very tasty food, good service and atmosphere.
Seriously the best sushi in Lima.
Delicious. The acevichado roll and the tomo!!!
enjoyed fresh seafood. next time I want to try sea urchin dishes which were not available.
Freshly prepared sushi and flavourful sauces created by the house for different maki or sushi are so good.
The restaurant is very nicely and stylishly decorated, the service is very attentive, although not necessarily fast. Unfortunately, we were rather disappointed with the food itself - the prices correspond to European prices (in Peru!), the quality is ok to mediocre, and unfortunately it has little to do with an authentic Japanese dining experience. The tuna flambéed at the table was practically killed beyond recognition, unfortunately the variations on offer cannot really be called nigiri. Our cocktails were very mediocre. If you expect authentic food like in Japan, you will be very disappointed here. If you expect average fancy sushi like in most European restaurants, you will be more likely to be satisfied.
We both suffered food poisoning after eating the sushi. Didn't eat some of the food after we tried it. Now it becomes clear why.
Amazing food, amazing service.nThey were able to create an entirely vegan menu for me, thank you so much!
Beautiful place, very good service and spectacular food. A great experience
Excellent & flavorful food.
Outstanding Nikkei food. Highly recommended. A+++
Absolutely brilliant place.nnEverything was cooked to perfection, using the best ingredients.nnHighlights were the scallop and truffle nigiri and the guanciale udon.nnHighly recommended.nnStaff was nice and atmosphere was great.nnThe better part of the restaurant is open space so prepare with warmer clothes if needed.
Good Thai and Japanese style food. Waitress was very kind and the service was fast. Price is according to the quality of the food and service. Highly recommended.
