Tomi Sushi and Seafood Buffet in Concord offers a bustling, all-you-can-eat experience centered around sushi and a broader selection of Chinese-style dishes. This buffet restaurant stands out for its sheer variety, making it a popular spot for seafood lovers and families looking to sample a wide array of flavors without the formal pace of a sit-down sushi bar.

The atmosphere is lively and a bit casual, with a steady flow of diners especially during lunch and dinner rush hours. Expect some waiting times during peak hours, as the venue tends to fill up quickly, particularly on weekends and early evenings. The restaurant closes briefly in the afternoon for cleaning, typically from around 2 to 4:30 PM, which is a good window for locals who prefer a quieter visit to avoid the crowds.

While the pricing leans slightly above what some might expect from buffets, many find the selection justifies the cost. Patrons often appreciate the freshness and variety, especially if you're someone who likes to try a little bit of everything — from sushi rolls to shrimp tempura and a range of other seafood offerings with a Chinese twist. The portions can get messy, so it’s wise to come prepared with plenty of napkins. Desserts, including creamy ice creams, provide a smooth finish without the icy texture sometimes found at mass-serve buffets.

This spot appeals most to diners who don’t mind a vibrant, somewhat hectic environment and enjoy the freedom to sample a flattering breadth of dishes in one sitting. It works well for casual outings, groups with diverse tastes, and anyone who’s keen on indulging in sushi without the formality or higher prices of standalone sushi restaurants.

One small note for soda drinkers is that the buffet serves Pepsi products, which might be a minor sticking point if you prefer alternatives. Overall, Tomi plays a solid role in the local dining scene by providing an accessible, variety-driven buffet experience tailored to Concord’s community rhythms and tastes.

Very good. Fresh and overwhelming. Could not begin to try everything. Shrimp tempura was excellent. Ice creams had no ice crystals, smooth and delicious. Very messy so ask for plenty of napkins. One down side is they serve Pepsi not Coke.

Its a little pricey but well worth it. They close for an hour I believe during the day for cleaning and reopen at 4:30PM

This buffet is amazing! As a Sushi lover I definitely felt like I was in heaven with all of these choices they have. I did feel like it was slightly overpriced though and I’m not a fan of time limits at buffets, however I did have a positive experience and would go again.

I love Tomi sushi because it's buffet style chinese food with a wide selection of sushi and other varieties of chinese food. Pricing is about $13/head. For adults, and kids under 10 I think eat free. Its usually quite full at lunchtimes and evenings and they take a break after the lunchtime rush and resume again at about 4:30 or 5pm. So be prepared to queue at the rush times. Well worth it.
