In every college town, students have their favorite restaurants and cafes that they haunt almost every day. Located on the edge of Princeton University’s campus, Tomo is a restaurant that attracts Princeton students and faculty as well as neighbors. It was four years ago that Taiwanese-born owner/chef Mr. Mark Thai Li Wu opened the restaurant, and it did not take long for Tomo to become one of the local favorites. One of the main reasons for this is Chef Wu’s superb dishes. With over 25 years of experience in Japanese restaurants in New York, Chef Wu creates a wide variety of flavors; his nigiri sushi is prepared in the authentic edomae style, and the bigger slice of fish is a bonus for hungry students. The regulars are addicted to his omakase dish, and Japanese customers especially love Tomo’s Gyu-don (beef bowl), which is a Japanese comfort food. Also, Chef Wu draws on his Taiwanese background to create artistic arrangements of sushi rolls, for example, in the shape of a dragon. “My motto is to serve good quality food at a reasonable price,” says Chef Wu. This customer-oriented attitude makes Tomo continue to attract more fans and “tomo,” a Japanese word meaning “friends.”
Gyu-don
This donburi-style dish is one of the most popular dishes among regulars and Japanese customers. The thinly sliced rib-eye beef with onion and fresh scallions creates a perfect harmony with original gyu-don sauce. The tender and juicy meat of Tomo’s version upgrades this Japanese cheap-eat dish.
