Yes, it is a weird name, go ahead and laugh. Pocari Sweat is one of the best hydration drinks in Japan, think Gatorade, but rocket powered. It has a slight yuzu taste with a hint of grapefruit, and WILL make you feel like a million bucks on a hot day (or a morning after a hot night...)

Wanted to try this place and didnt really know what to expect. Didnt even k ow what was on the menu. Im glad we decided to because the food was great!Its a small cozy place. Street parking available. And service was great! We were so hungry we ordered ao mich atuff they had to connect 2 tables to fit the food lol.Takoyaki was good. The chicken karaage looked a bit burnt on the outside but the inside was still tender. The squid karaage was cooked and seasoned perfectly. We also had the shrimp robata which had 3 gigantic shrimp per skewer and the sauce had a bit of a kick in it. We also ordered the Ebi Tempura Don which honestly wasnt what I was expecting. I was expecting the classic tempura shrimp but it wasnt. It didnt taste bad tho.The Hibachi Steak Bowl however was my favorite and i would definitely come back for this!!! Check this place out if you havent!!! Happy Eating!!!

The food at Tomo is great for a more casual setting date or a hang out spot. I think the food is a bit on the pricier end like other spots within the area of Evanston. The food overall was great! I love the freshness of the food they brought out to us. The sake shot was a bit hard to remove from the can since it's mostly jello. The service was good, we ordered via the QR code on the table. Alcoholic drinks needed to be ordered through a server so they can check your ID which is paid separately at the end. Overall would recommend stopping by and trying their food!

Three of us came for dinner. This is a quaint place with amazing service. We started with the okonomiyaki. Not a huge portion but packed with flavor. I was expecting something more crispy but it was on the softer side. I had the tonkatsu ramen. Comes with 3 pieces of yummy pork belly as bamboo shoots and half an egg and bunch of corn kernels. Lots of wonderful broth.

Not really street food, but it is mostly Japanese. And fairly good Japanese food at that. We were seated promptly and the food came hot and tasty. Not much of an ambiance, but the place was clean and functional.

I came here for lunch on a Sunday. They have a QR code for the menu, for ordering, and for paying. There was plenty of seating in the restaurant and they let you take your pick. The food came out within 10 minutes and the service was very prompt and friendly. For the food, I thought the noodles were a bit thin for ramen noodles. I prefer thicker egg noodles. The marinated egg was delicious and had perfect texture. The meat was fatty and flavorful. But I thought the soup was as a bit flat tasting and there wasn't a lot of depth. The corn didn't add a nice texture or flavor to the bowl of noodles either. Not my favorite ramen in the area. It was decently priced at $16 for a bowl of ramen. With tip and tax it ended up being around $20.

Ramen tastes great, the broth is good. Not a huge fan of ramen in general, but when the girlfriend craves it we come here. Probably the best location nearby for Ramen. Meat is really soft and addicting, wish they gave more. Too much corn though. There was no wait to sit down. Ordered through a qr code and paid before food came out. The food came out surprisingly fast, also tasting really fresh and hot. They have anime on TV most of the time, my first time coming in they had One Piece on. Spoiled a little bit for me, but respect for One Piece!

[TOMO Japanese Street Food] Local Japanese restaurant located in downtown Evanston that just opened this yearOrdered the Takoyaki, Signature Udon, and the YakisobaEverything was good. Food was flavorful and well seasoned. It is self serve through scanning the QR so I cannot speak on their service. The price point was decent which is reasonable for $15 per entree. The only criticism I have for this restaurant is that it was not that filling I was still hungry after eating this considering we got 2 entrees and a appetizer. Overall, 8/10. Pretty decent https://www.tomostreetfood.com1726 Sherman Ave Evanston, IL 60201
