Tomodachi Sushi Restaurant in Newbury Park

I have been coming coming to this restaurant for years. The sushi chef, BJ is the best on the west coast. I have not been able to find a chef that compares. If you want the BEST cuts, the most buttery fish, come here. He will not disappoint. I cannot find another sushi places that comes close to the quality of fish and chef. The yellowtail with jalapeño is to die for.

Always the best quality of fresh fish.. always delicious. The fish chips literally melt in your mouth and the red snapper sushi 🍣 really smacks 🔥🔥

Freah uni from Santa Barbara soo goood!!Oyster and other sushi also pretty decent too. The person serving us is nice and handsome, very friendly. The roll is good too.

This place makes the fish the star of the show. We tried the 911 roll, the spicy tuna was delicious and the rice was just enough to hold the roll together. The Salmon Radish roll...gorgeous presentation of a riceless roll. Beautiful salmon wrapped with a thin ribbon of daikon radish. Delicious. Also we had the Red dragon roll...which was gorgeous to look at...and fantastic to eat. tender tempura asparagus lightly wrapped with rice and topped with gorgeous pan seared tuna and a sprinkle of cayenne. Incredible food and friendly service. I will be back!!

Fantastic sushi but very slow service. There are not many waiters/waitresses, so they took a long time to take our order, to bring our drinks, and everyones food came at separate times so that one was left to eat alone. They did offer to compensate with a free side of rice, which was kind. The rolls were very good and not too heavy on the sauce as some restaurants tend to be, and the fish was very good quality. Highly recommend the amberjack sashimi.

Quaint sushi shop. Clean, professional, everyone is super friendly. Food is on par, sometimes the steak teriyaki is a bit rough but I keep forgetting to ask for it more rare. Im here about once a week, maybe Ill cya there too!

Innovative, fresh sushi. Best in the area by far. Ask the sushi chef to pick and everything will be great.

Love this spot. Sit at the bar!

Sushi rolls are flavorful, really tasty. Was my first time here and I really liked it, definitely coming back.

Came on a Monday night, it was a holiday but the restaurant was not packed or busy. Service was very slow, food come out very slowly, there for over two hours for just two people who ordered very quickly. The quality of the fish was low, slight fishy taste except for the toro, and the rolls were nothing to get excited about. There are other sushi places that are much better.
