The Sushi Episodes, Part 5: Rise of the Knucklehead From the outside, the place looks dead since I'm unable to see inside with the hot blazing sun pounding on my head. If it weren't for the sign that says 'Open' on the door, I might not even bother walking in. Thankfully, though, I do, and I immediately see that the place is packed. Even the sushi bar is utterly packed. In fact, I have to wait a few minutes to get seated at the Sushi Bar. I look at the decor, very zen, as is typically in sushi restaurants. There are 3 sushi chefs behind the counter and about a dozen silver eels adorn the wall behind them... Mmmmmm.... unagi. So I'm seated and, as is now tradition, I order the biggest baddest beer they serve, "Kirin, tall," I tell the waiter. All those around me on drinking Sprite and Iced Tea... "Pussies," I think arrogantly. The chef behind the counter looks at me expectantly, so I go ahead and order unagi and a spider roll. "Spider roll!", he bellows loudly, apparently because the tempura is prepared behind in the kitchen and brought to them as needed. I sip on my beer and admire the chef's skills at composing delectable bitesize pieces of heaven: rainbow roll, yellowtail, eel, salmon, california roll... this guy knows his stuff and damn I wish I knew the make and model of that knife he's using. I swear he could probably pull a Mr. Miyagi manoeuver and slice a fly in midair with that thing! Five minutes later, the chef hands me a Spicy Tuna Roll, mumbles something like "Spiawa Roll," and looks at me for a nod of approval. I hesitate, grab the plate, and start eating. This is me being fully retarded and here's the conversation that was going through my head as I hesitated before grabbing the Spicy Tuna Roll: "Hey Dave, that doesn't look like Spider Roll. Where's the crab?" "Shut up, you idiot! You saw how the chef looked at you and said 'Spidah Roll' Do you think you know this shit better than a trained Japanese Sushi Chef? Dude you were born in Holland man... you don't know shit about sushi... Just eat the thing already.... You're hungry right?" "Yeah I'm hungry, but it doesn't look like a Spider Roll, made with tempura soft shell crab. I'm not quite sure what this is but it's not spider roll..." "What the fuck do you know, you idiot? Maybe they're being innovative and grinding the crab and reshaping it somehow... you know like Ferran Adria at El Bulli. Maybe this guy's totally cutting edge, reshaping food so that it not only appeals to the palate, but to all senses. That's what he did with the soft shell crab... He *transformed* it!" "Yeah, but I would think that for a spider roll, you'd want to see the similarity to the spider. See? The fried crab resembles the spider, hence the name." "Just shut the fuck up and eat what you're given, ok?" So there I am, eating what is clearly very tasty and very spicy, but I'm still kind of confused and I'm already starting to wonder how I'm going to yelp this because, transforming food or not, this ain't no spider roll and it's going to cost 'em a star or two, when I hear "Spider!" and see someone bringing the soft shell crab back to the chef for preparation. At this moment, the chef falters, looks back at my check, looks at me with a look of confusion, talks rapidly in Japanese to the chef next to him who, in turn, looks at me like I'm the most retarded person alive. They both start to laugh and I try to ignore the situation, thinking that if I ignore what's going on, maybe the problem will disappear. Sure enough, the chef eventually says, "Did you order Spicy Tuna Roll?" to which I look at him with a look like "Huh?" (Thankfully I had a huge mouthful so I didn't have to speak) He continues, "You ordered Spider Roll, correct?" I nod. "Well, I gave you Spicy Tuna Roll, but that's ok... My mistake. I wouldn't put that on your tab." At which point I feel like the most retarded individual, which of course I am. Thankfully, I felt grateful that the chef smiled and didn't embarass me further about it. The spider roll, at $14, was in fact beautifully prepared and tasted very good. The unagi was absolutely fabulous and tasty: the nicest cuts of eel on a beautiful bed of rice! And then, I decided to finish this thing on a high note and I ordered the Toro sashimi. I think at that moment I redeemed myself a little bit because the chef stepped back and looked me up and down and nodded approvingly. Ok, so I was a Gaijin, but at least I was a Gaijin with respectable taste. The Toro set me back 30 bucks, but oh my god the fish was so good I fondled it. First of all the way the chef cut it was beautiful, serving the fatty tuna belly in the shape of a modern abstract flower. Tomodachi rocks!

The sushi here is great. I really loved the riceless rolls and the seaweed salad was my boyfriends favorite he had ever had!

Good food. However, what we got was not exactly what we ordered. Spent ~$70 in take-out last week, got home, and found that someone else probably enjoyed at least some of our order (and we enjoyed some of theirs). Small portions - when we finished, we were still hungry and tore through the fridge for more food. WTH? You should know that ~70 bucks worth of food from Ori Sushi just down the blvd will make you not only satisfy your buds, but it will completely fill u up as well. One other pro for Tomodachi is that they actually give you packets of both reg and low sodium Kikkoman SS. But who really cares if you have to eat someone else's food.

Overpriced and overrated. Maybe my expectations were too high because of the great reviews on Yelp. Still, the sushi was disappointing.

I have been eating sushi for 30 years and have tried them all. We only eat at high quality places. We travel 30 minutes (out of our way) to eat at Tomodachi in Westlake. The quality of the fish is excellent. We come here again and again because we have high suishi expectations and we are never dissapointed. We tend to eat suishi and sashimi, so we definitely can scrutinize the flavor of what we eat. Although we don't order rolls often, these do not dissappoint either. Great specials as well from the kitchen round out the lineup. If you want quality go to Tomodachi!

Possibly one of the best in the T.O. area! The one lost star is for the service, a bit slow.
