Great service. The sushi is relatively OK. Not the best I’ve tried. The menu is very wide with unlimited options from authentic japanese dishes. Restaurant is also on the pricey side.Thanks to our waiter for the great service.

This is by far, one of the very best Japanese restaurants in Dubai.Presentation, service, quality and ambiance are all near perfect.If youre looking for the very best, you will have found it... Albeit at a price (but so very worth it)

One of the very few authentic Japanese restaurants in Dubai. The style of serving, the decor and ambience and the sushi is authentic and quite excellent. If you are more to the trendy fusion Japanese food then you may not like this.

There is no doubt Tomo is the most authentic Japanese cuisine in Dubai and the freshest one! Takahashi san the owner and the chef selects the best ingredients and the final smell and taste is superb.

The best quality sushi ever. Order their flounder sushi, Im craving more already. Loved my Saketini on their lovely terrace where the lovely breeze on the 17th beat the summer heat! An old gem that wins hearts for its authentic Japanese food made by Japanese chefs.

By far the best Japanese restaurant I have ever tried in Dubai. Nice view and excellent food. The taste and the way to serve is that of genuine and authentic Japanese way. Cant complain. Also, Friday brunch here is just exquisite. Unlimited Sushi and other Japanese food with very sensible price!

Tomo is by far the best traditional Japanese restaurant in Dubai.

Arguably the best fine dining very authentic Japanese restaurant in Dubai, heavily patroned by Japanese expats and managed by Japanese, Tomo excels with its high quality authentic Japanese cuisine.For those looking for something special, you can get some premium ingredients here - they have Otoro (fattiest part of tuna belly) and Japanese wagyu beef and whilst not cheap are pretty amazing. The nigiri sushi is also amazing with the way the fresh fish is cut, pressed onto the rice and glazed / finished off - easily setting itself as premium trained sushi-chef sushi versus the countless standard-fare sushi around town.On Fridays theres a brunch which for what you get is very good value - so good that its very popular amongst Japanese and non-Japanese alike.Theres seating indoors and on the balcony (during the cooler months), and the venue is distinctly Japanese, classy but understated to complement the food rather than trying to present itself as a place to be seen.Service is excellent from both Japanese staff and non-Japanese staff alike - courteous, helpful and friendly. Theres also free parking and valet available.Highly recommended!

It feels like coming home 💛 My husband and I have always loved going to Tomo for quality authentic Japanese food. We came this time with his parents to celebrate his Mom’s birthday. We started off with a few drinks from their Happy Hour promo which is available the whole week 5-8pm. They definitely do not skimp on the alcohol and the cocktails were delicious, not too sweet or strong. Everyone was impressed with their orders.The Katsudon was a hefty serving, and the pork cutlet was juicy with the right amount of sauce.The Wagyu Gyudon (large) at first glance, you would think the serving is small but it was packed with flavour and was just right.You can also order a set meal. My husband had the Shoukado Bento which was a full meal in itself and included tempura vegetables and shrimp, grilled fish, tamagoyaki, miso soup and the special dish of the day. He had silken tofu with beef.If you’re craving for sashimi and rice, I recommend getting the Nama Chirashi Don. It included two slice each of Tuna, fatty Tuna, Salmon, Scallop, Herring, Tamagoyaki, Crab sticks and another fish I forgot the name of. My strategy was to try each slice on its own then the other with rice and the Shiso leaf. It was a match made in heaven. Oh and the rice also had minced tuna on top! Presentation was so thoughtful and lovely as well. I had tiny carrot butterflies and swirls on mine 💛We also ordered a vanilla cake roll to be served after the meal, and it was such a lovely way to end our dinner. It was light and fluffy, and just lightly sweet.Service was also good. One of their restaurant managers who had been working their for eight years, kindly accompanied us to the viewing deck and even offered to take photos of us.We’re definitely coming back again.

We are regular visitors of Tomo, but it seems management has changed and the food quality has gone down significantly. This is highly disappointing as it was the best venue for authentic Japanese food. Hope they will improve again.

Ambience :The place has a Japanese inspired interior and a beautiful view of the skyline. The entrance is decorated with few Japanese ornaments and a small Japanese famous cherry tree.⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Food & Drinks:Cocktails were very refreshing and tasty.The sushi was simply amazing. The presentation of the plate was superb. It was very fresh and very delicious.The main dish, was good too. It wasn’t as good as the sushi but still tasty. The main dish came with a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, the soup tasted very good.⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Service:Staff were super friendly, very attentive and helpful⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️Overall:You should definitely try it. If you go there for lunch and it is in the summer, stay away from the tables that are close to the window, the heat is a killer.

Big balcone with open view, can see the downtown in whole.The food is nice and sashimi is fresh enough.By the way, they have happy hour till 8pm, 50% on the beer and sake.All in all, a nice place for gathering.

If you want to experience an authentic, I mean real Japanese cuisine then you will have to try Tomo. One of the rare places which I keep coming back. And business lunch during weekdays is an absolutely great deal, check those out in my pictures attached.

If u like authentic Japanese cuisine, this is the place to be. Being on the top flr, ull get an aerial view with minimum blockage from high rise bldgs, therefore best to visit during colder weather or during this hot weather, in the evenings if u like sitting outdoors. ☺️Ok back to their food, I ordered the business menu which comes with salad, sushimi (3 varieties, 2 pcs each) soup, rice & tempura (there are other main dish options) plus ice cream (also a variety of flavours).My husband had pork katsu-don.It can be pricy if there isnt any promotions.Jean, who served us was superb.. She was super patient, polite & cheerful.

Excellent! Very good product. Only rice not warm, it should be for a restaurant of this quality. Service a bit slow but food compensates

An amazing dining experience! If you wish to go a great Japanese restaurant for fine dinning then this is the place to be. Delicious foods with a fantastic presentation. The sushi just wow! The staff were very kind and the service is excellent. I loved everything about this place. Really one of the best dinning experiences I had. If you visit you must try their sushi and salmon.

I went to Tomo Restaurant past week and I had the possibility to eat in the outdoor area. It is simply amazing the skyline of Dubai seen from that place! Regarding the food I have to say that it is the best Japanese restaurant Ive ever been. Quality and taste amazing and all details really curated. The waiters were very kind and professional. Strongly recommended.

You’d love Tomo, it’s got great food, excellent views & lovely ambiance! The place lights up at night with an extended bar, gives you great city views.It’s one of the oldest Japanese restaurants in Dubai & has maintained its standards over the years.

A restaurant that never ever disappointed us.Each visit is a new experience and with each visit i am reassured that this is the best Japanese restaurant in town. I highly recommend their a la carte brunch ...

Such burnt yakitori dishes are not served in Japan.

The best Japanese Ive ever had in Dubai.Go on the weekend for their taster menu. Food quality is amazing. Choose the alcoholic package - youll get their warm sake. So good.Bon appetit

Although Ive known for several years about Bill Cunliffes piano prowess, I wasnt that familiar with Reed Kotlers music when I got Torii Records Tomo CD. What a pleasant surprise! This is 65 or so minutes of well-written and well-performed jazz that is refreshingly new but easy on the ears. Tomo is Japanese for friends or soulmates. Thats the case here as saxman Bob Sheppard, guitarist Larry Koonse, bassist Darek Olds and drummer Mark Ferber all make solid contributions to Cunliffes piano playing and arranging. Try this, and youll put it into your regular play rotation for a long time.

We celebrated our anniversary there for great atmosphere, music, panorama Dubai view, nice food and amazing staff!

I mean, what can be said that hasn’t already been said? This place is pure Japanese perfection, from the impeccable service, to the incredible food, to the outstanding views. Truly one of a kind in Dubai.

We had such a great time at Tomo.The menu was very extensive (both food & drink) and service was extremely attentive which is always crucial for a brunch. The chu-toro sushi , which is part of the platter was amazing and regular dishes like the tonkatsu and tempura are prepared to perfection, even for a brunch setting.Definitely recommended!

Had the opportunity to try the Valentines special dinner at TOMO and everything was impeccable! The food, the ambience, the staff, the setup, everything was top notch! The food was really delicious specially the steak, it was delicious. The place also has outdoor seating arrangement.The only issue I faced was we didnt realize the set menu doesnt have any drinks and we ordered drinks and on boy they were expensive!

First of all, this place NEEDS renovation inside, cause the interier reminds me a USSR canteen.The sashimi were good (not all, but most of it). Sushi quite regular and very overpriced. The roll for 135 aed was basic, good and tasty, but basic.Zero vibe, doesnt match with pictures at all.Well, I tried it, it was okay, but i hardly come back.

We went to Tomo after a very bad experience at Wox in grand Hyatt Dubai.. we we just called tomo 5 min before arriving the restaurant.. they were very busy but they somehow managed to accommodate us .. we were 4 adults and 3 kids.. we felt so great the way they welcome us.. and the food was amazing.. Sushi and Sashimi is my favourite dishes there.. very quite place amazing ambiance.. I highly recommend this restaurant.. and already it’s my favourite Japanese restaurant in Dubai...

Beautiful rooftop view, Amazing food would come again

Fantastic food, incredible view, friendly staff, only missing Japanese people :-)

I think this place has the best sushi in town. Staff are great and the food is outstanding

Good japanese food and great view !

The sushi is the best I have had in th UAE. The staff are great and the place is really nice.

We had good evening in Tomo, we choose the Japanese table outdoor. It was a good experience with amazing view. Food was good from appetiser, main course to dessert. Was just perfect. Oh must order watermelon martini.

Spectacular food. Amazing service...beautiful place

Best Japanese Restaurant in Dubai in the best hotel in town. This is where the local Japanese community comes to eat, and that alone is the proof...

Fine AfternoonTomo, one of the best restaurants for Japanese cuisine has been in my must visit restaurant and that I recently visited for lunch. The interiors are stunning, calming, wooden interiors cozy nook and corners, all adding to the elegance of the place.The lunch is priced at AED 105, which I believe is a value deal here. Started off with a Passion mojito, loved it, beautiful essence. Then came the boat an boat full of Delicious assorted sushi, sashimi, maki and all. This was a pure delight but it was a pity that in ended too soon. Then came the salad, multi green with asparagus.That was nice too.The mains we had two options, that was the chicken tempura and the salmon teriyaki. These two dishes were the highlight, The ingredients were fine and the finish was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. Service staff were good too, overall it was a fantastic experience

If you want to indulge yourself and close ones in real Japanese food, this is the right place! This place offers all types of Japanese food. High quality, classy place. The part , which i also liked here was the open terrace , with a view of the whole Dubai. But if you come in summer you can still enjoy with a beautiful Japanese decor inside the restaurant. The price are quite high, but it worth it .

Authentic Japanese cuisine. Best Sushi I have in Dubai so far. Love the atmosphere.Style: more to the fine dining-very good food and drink-friendly staff-view is super especially at night

Nice place for sunset and outside seating and also with happy our, food is very tasty with many options for fish, veg or meat, nice staff helpful with recommendations, trio desserts are perfect for sharing

By far one of the best rooftop restaurants I have been to for authentic Japanese food down to the seating and hospitality. Tried a variety of sushi, Wagyu, Katsu Chicken and Ebi - all of which were made to a very very high standard. I personally recommend their outdoor seating as it definitely makes it worth visiting once more.

Simply delicious Japanese.nice views.good service. I d like to try the brunch...

Really authentic Japanese food, which is rare in Dubai!! It was really good.

I had the tasting menu here for dinner. The main thing to highlight is the A5 Wagyu steak; it is extremely delicious and melts in your mouth. It is the best steak I had in a long time. The miso sauce on the steak does not look appetizing but it is giving the taste a new dimension. There are some dishes that I enjoyed, while others not so much. The service was really good and the atmosphere was elegant.

Good quality food and nice atmosphere and service, great view.

Good. But nothing extraordinary that deserving the premium price. Its expensive, even after a discount!

For those looking for fresh authentic Japanese, not fusion

Excellent degustation menu. Worth opting for top quality Wagu and try the fruity sake. Spend there our wedding anniversary indulged with excellent flavours and surrounded by very helpful staff

Didn’t think I would make such a dramatic statement in a while after being born and raised in Dubai. However, BEST Japanese restaurant in Dubai hands down. Such an underrated gem. Polite staff, incredible food, beautiful views and a magical atmosphere.

This was a set dinner I had. Very well presented. The sushi, sashimi and all the dishes were to my liking. What can I say - I love Japanese food. The restaurant embience was cozy, romantic & lovely. I was there alone but enjoyed every second of it. The staff were all attentive and polite. Was a great experience dining here.

I visited Tomo recently and was a little underwhelmed. Many people have told me to visit this place, but it was a little disappointing. The food was okay, nothing special, the service was a little bit slow and the atmosphere pretty much non-existent. I have heard it used to be a lot better in the previous years, which is a shame.

The best place to have an authentic japanese cuisine with a view!

Excellent view and attention. We eat sushi and it was delicious. Try the set of different style of rolls.. California rolls are the best!! Highly recommended

An absolute must do for anyone who enjoys Japanese food. We sampled a bit of each and we felt the love put into each dish. To top it off, you have one of the best views of Dubai. The hospitality of the staff took me back to Japan which many restaurants in UAE lack.

This is a very popular Japanese restaurant with good food and great service in a very pleasant and relaxing environment with spectacular views as it is the top of Raffles Hotel.

After having lived in Japan for months I searched all around Dubai for authentic Japanese food especially ramen and this place has it. I drove all the way from JBR just to eat here and it was worth it. Wagamama and all the other Japanese restaurant chains just wasn’t doing it for me. I recommend this place!

Fantastic food and view. Will be back

Extremely over rated .. zero value of food and money does not worth itVery bad taste of everything we order .. + we find a hair on the noodleThe service was super poor and bad and the waiter are not smiling at all.. and not friendlyWill not recommend anyone to visit this restaurant.. Zero Star

Now this is the 5 star japanese restaurant my husband and I kept on looking for! 😍 It took us a long time to scan through many apps and search through the internet finding a good legit japanese restaurant here in UAE, and finally found it! My husband ordered Miso Ramen (Special Size) and Chicken katsu, and I ordered Tokujyo (Chefs selection of diff kinds of sushi) and Kamo Zaru (Cold buckwheat noodles dipped in hot soup with leeks and grilled duck).. and everything exceeded our expectations!😍 Everything was balanced and on point.Next time well try the buffet 😍😁 My husband and I agreed that well be celebrating each special occasion here, from now on! 😀 Btw, one good info if you want to eat on a Friday: either you go for the brunch buffet for a fixed price or opt for the a la carté selection and get your desserts for free (same ones served in the buffet section).

One of best resturent i have visited in dubai. Great service, friendly staff. Food were amazing. you can enjoy dubai skyline at night. Outside seating is not available during summer, still you can have the view from inside. Price were reasonable. Highly recommended.

It was ok( not that great

Authentic Japanese....lots of options and cocktails and very helpful staff. Quite on the pricey side but worth it considering the food, service and the view (if you can get a seating in the balcony)

Excellent food with super friendly staff!Cant wait for my next visit!

Amazing view with a superb service and delicious food. Perfect for romantic dinners or family visits.

Located on the 17th floor of the bent pyramid shaped Ruffles hotel in Dubai, Tomo is known for its stunning views of the Dubai skyline. I called in advance to book a place on the terrace and walked in at sunset time. The sky was turning into various shades of red and orange and the city lights were slowly coming on. The view was so breathtaking that I almost forgot about the food. But not talking about the food would be unfair to this restaurant, because the food they offer is awesome as well. I was informed that many of the ingredients are flown in directly from Japan and is of the highest quality. After trying out their pork belly and wagyu slices I tend to agree. The meat was flavourful and melts in the mouth like butter. One of the best Japanese food that I came across. The food, the scenery, nice cool breeze and warm service by the mostly Filipino staff, all adds up to an unforgettable dining experience. Yes, it is VERY EXPENSIVE (like most things in Dubai). But for occasions like this, I dont mind splurging a bit.

The best restaurant of Japanese cuisine.

Excellent food and beautiful place...

Very delicious sushi and amazing view to Downtown and BurjKhalife from the restaurant terrace.

Authentic Japanese. A true Gem

Chef Benny and his team always exceed expectations and adore coming here.

Great dining experience, quality food, great ambiance and view, super professional servicr

I will have to go back here to try the katsu curry rice, so that particular review will be for later but so far the ramen is excellent with a little criticism on the egg... its over cooked and salty. The staff are just amazing and really helpful.The view is another thing that you can really appreciate, specially at night.

Beautiful views and tasty food

Famous​ wall, amazing sky line view and the palace to enjoy the best Japanese food in the city.Great place to meet and enjoy skyline view

Fine Japanese food.

The. Best.

So today I was at this beautiful Japanese restaurant called. The vibe of this place is so refreshing it smells so aromatic and floral, the food is traditionally made the fish and the meat are freshly imported from different countries for the perfect authentic taste. The staff is very professional & friendly.

Authentic Japanese restaurant with incredibly delicious food. Highly recommend the Chu-toro sushi (mid-fatty tuna) and the Mochi ice cream for dessert.

Delicious foods, good atmosphere, and friendly employees

Nice staff, the food was okay, I had higher expectations

Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in Dubai. The view, the food...everything is just perfection!

I love this restaurant: great food, nice views and fantastic service.

Is a nice and sweet restaurant to be and it got a beautiful view outside as well

Really surprised with all the good reviews I eat sushi quite frequently and overall was one of the worst I’ve ever had... quality is extremely low and seaweed was very stale for every roll..

View is amazing but food is alright.

Excellent views, food and service. One of the best rooftop restaurants

Fantastic place and the waiters make the experience just superb. A special thanks to Bonjai (I hope I got the name correct), he made my birthday one to remember. Can’t thank you enough!

Great Japanese food and alcohol options. Go there for an unbeatable view of the city during the pleasant weather months.

Great biz lunch

Best Japanese restaurant Awards last couple of years

Amazing staff professional customer service and Amazing view

Great authentic Japanese restaurant. I will be back for more.

The food is good and the view to Dubai skyline is just amazing.

Tomo is Japan in Dubai! Seriously authentic meals, first class service. Without paying through the nose.Dinner for four people, 550aed ( I splurged and had some nice sake, was an extra 220aed).Very casual atmosphere with the look of fine dinning.6 stars !!!! (Best gyoza in Dubai) 😊(Photos from lunch alone, two days earlier)

Nice atmosphere, good sushi and Japanese curries

Beautiful views across Dubai (if sat outside), friendly attentive service, amazing fresh sushi. Would highly recommend.

Food was amazing, yes the price is high.Serving was quick since there were few customer. The Design of the restaurant was kind of absurd there arr a lot of step, I guess I need to consider since its at the top floor.

Excellent food

One of the modern classics in Dubai
