Tomo Japanese Restaurant

Tom Naito has made it a life's ambition to become the world's best sushi chef. He was born in Osaka, Japan. He first came to the United States to study theater directing at Queens College in NYC and worked at several Japanese restaurants at night in Manhattan. After finishing college, Tom worked for a Japanese trading company for two years. He started to realize that his love for the kitchen was greater than his love for the stage. So he left directing behind and began to work for his true calling, becoming a great chef. His drive to succeed has led him all over the USA.

He worked in New York, Boston, Maine, Las Vegas and now Atlanta. While he is an expert in Japanese cooking, he also worked and studied in both French and Italian styles. The breadth of knowledge allows TOMO to have the exquisite Tom Naito flair. It is precisely the unique skill set that led world renowned chef, NoBu Matsuhisa, to offer Tom a job at his Las Vegas restaurant. Tom worked on his craft under the master chef for 3 years. NoBu is known for his ingenious flavor combinations of Japanese and Peruvian ingredients with a Western presentation. After learning from the master, Tom was ready to add his own twist to world class sushi. TOMO is the embodiment of his dream. The Japanese dishes all have unique flavor combinations.
Often he will use French and Italian ingredients in traditional Japanese offerings.

This gives Tom's menu a quality unlike any other restaurant in the city of Atlanta.
