Tomo Sushi
18707 Devonshire St, Porter Ranch, CA 91324, United States
We came here for lunch and it was only 2 people eating at the restaurant. I thought it would be a little busier but it wasnt. We didnt mind since it would be faster service for us.The restaurant was very clean and It had great decor. It had an elevated dining area with a few tables which gives the restaurant a unique layout.We ordered a few rolls that you would typically find at every sushi restaurant. The California roll was good but it was not carefully prepared. The pieces fell apart when you picked it up with your chopsticks.The Crunch Roll was better prepared but lacked the taste. The only roll that I liked out of our order was the Salmon Skin roll. The roll was prepared with a nice design and the salmon skin was very tasty.Overall, the food was just ok.Given the other Yelp reviews, I thought the food would be better. Maybe we just had an inexperience sushi chef when we went.

***EXPERIENCE 3*** (Positive)I decided to cool down by getting myself an ice maker. I went to the small appliance aisle to make my selection, and I was off to check-out. At check-out the young woman was having issues scanning the ice maker. My temperature was starting to rise, so I asked for a manager. The young woman asked another woman for help. The other woman tried scanning the item without success. She looked the box over, and tried again. This time with success. She explained to the young woman that she was scanning the wrong code. Everything was resolved to my satisfaction. And, I left the store feeling as cool as a cucumber.***EXPERIENCE 2*** (Positive)On my most recent shopping trip I noticed that everything seemed to be a lot more orderly. Not just in one section, but the entire store. The aisles were clean, and the shelves were neatly stocked. I was very impressed with how organized everything looked. And, I had no problem finding everything I needed. The store definitely looked very well managed.At checkout the cashier was very pleasant and did a good job. This experience positively affected my impression of this store.***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Negative)I was just at this location purchasing eye care products. I had to check out something, so I had my mother wait for the locked up goods. I came back about 20 minutes later and the Walmart employee after prodding finally came over to help us. The woman from the very start was combative, and started arguing with my mother. My mother was asking the woman why she was ignoring her. The woman stated that she cant be everywhere. However, we were there before the multitudes of other people she was helping. My mother told the woman she pushed the button first, before the other people. The Walmart employees response is very interesting. She stated, I NEVER RESPOND TO THE BUTTON. Then what is the point of the button. The womans name is Brinder, she was working in the pharmacy section around 7:00pm on 12/23. After talking to my mother. I would consider this a very serious incident. As I stated, we were there first. My mother tried to flag down the woman several times. But, she kept helping other people. The interesting thing is the Walmart employee appeared to be an Indian with brown skin. Both my mother and I are Japanese. And, all the people she helped before my mother were brown in color. I hate to think this was a case of racism. But, I witnessed the womans attitude towards my mother. Walmart, you have security monitors everywhere. I would review them. In fact, if its true the employee avoided helping an Asian, in favor of multiple people of a certain color. Thats abhorrent.
Tomodachi Sushi
20165 Rinaldi St unit 100, Porter Ranch, CA 91326, United States
It was the best meal you could ever have in California.I love sushi and sashimi so much in Korea that I go there often, so to be honest, before I went there, I had a bit of distrust, if not distrust, about the sushi I eat in the United States. Nevertheless, after eating so much greasy American food for several days, I was craving something refreshing, so I decided to visit.In conclusion, I was very satisfied because I was able to enjoy American-style Japanese food in a different style from Korean food. The Yellowtail sashimi as a whole was literally hilarious. In Korean terms, it has a very similar texture to yellowtail, and you can enjoy it with a pleasant acidity, and because it contains cilantro, it feels like washing away the greasy American food.The tempura was also great. Since I eat a lot of things like French fries in the U.S., the fries were a bit bitchy, but I really liked how the batter was thin and crispy. However, the taste deteriorates as it cools, so I hope you eat it while its still hot.The omakase style sushi I ordered from the chef was also good. The reason this was fun was because I had no expectations of seeing such great sushi in the United States, so I think I was surprised by the taste that exceeded my expectations. Could it be that the thickly sliced sashimi gave a taste of the American spirit(?)?The California roll was a taste that felt like it had to be eaten in California. There are so many restaurants in Korea these days that serve California rolls, so I thought it would be a bit boring. However, in Korea, it is just a slightly sweet seasoning and has a similar, plain taste regardless of the ingredients, but when I tried it locally and saw that there were a variety of seasonings, I realized that this was the taste that Americans liked. In particular, my favorite was the keto-style riceless roll. I actually liked the crunchy texture in my mouth.Salmon Radish, enjoyed like a final dessert, was a refreshing way to end the meal. This food also appealed to Koreans to the point where I wondered why I had never seen this style in Korea before. The radish, which may have a slightly greasy feel to the salmon, had a fun texture that felt like eating raw radish together with it.It was a great healing meal when I was sick of greasy American food after traveling to the United States!
Silverlake Ramen
20065 Rinaldi St Unit 160, Porter Ranch, CA 91326, United States
As I embarked on my quest for noodle nirvana, I stumbled upon this humble ramen joint. What perplexed me was the apparent lack of 4+ stars. Was this an alternate universe where flavor and fun were frowned upon?We ordered the most popular items, and let me tell you, it was like slurping down a rainbow of flavors. Each noodle strand was like a high-five from a tiny angel of deliciousness, and the broth? Oh, the broth! It was like swimming in a pool of liquid gold, if gold tasted like umami heaven.The ambience was decent, but what really struck gold for a tired parent was the kids play area just outside the restaurant. It was like dining in the splash zone at SeaWorld, but with less Shamu and more tiny humans. If you have kids, its a recipe for a noodle-tastic good time.In conclusion, this ramen joint deserves every star in the Michelin constellation (ok, maybe not Michelin). I urge you to embark on your own adventure to noodle nirvana, and let the ramen rescue you from the clutches of mediocrity. And hey, with that play area, you might even score some well-deserved grown-up time while the kids frolic!Pro Tip:1. if you're ordering online for pickup, your order might show ready online but it might take longer. Even on less busier nights like Mondays, it might take 30-40 minutes for order to get ready.2. If you're sitting on tables next to the door, you might have people waiting for their pickup orders right next to you. Avoid that situation.
