Tomi Japanese Restaurant
Authentic Japanese flavours in a relaxed neighbourhood setting at Edgeware Mall.
Christchurch's Hidden Japanese Gem
Tucked inside Edgeware Mall on Edgeware Road in St Albans, Tomi Japanese Restaurant has been quietly delighting Christchurch diners with authentic Japanese cuisine for years. It's the kind of local gem that regulars guard jealously — a small, unpretentious restaurant where the food speaks for itself.
Run with genuine care and attention to detail, Tomi serves a wide range of traditional Japanese dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and time-honoured techniques. From perfectly rolled sushi to steaming bowls of ramen, every dish reflects a deep respect for Japanese culinary tradition.
The Menu
Sushi & Sashimi
Fresh, expertly prepared sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi platters. The fish is always impeccably fresh and the rice perfectly seasoned — the hallmarks of quality Japanese sushi that keep regulars coming back week after week.
Ramen & Udon
Rich, flavourful noodle soups that warm you from the inside out. The ramen broth is deeply satisfying, while the udon dishes offer hearty comfort in generous portions. Perfect for Christchurch's cooler months.
Bento Boxes & Set Meals
Beautifully presented bento boxes offer a complete Japanese dining experience in one tray — a selection of small dishes, rice, miso soup, and pickles. Great value and a wonderful way to sample different flavours.
Teriyaki & Tempura
Classic Japanese mains including chicken and salmon teriyaki glazed to perfection, and light, crispy tempura vegetables and prawns. Served with rice and salad for a balanced, satisfying meal.
Why Locals Love Tomi
Tomi has built a devoted following among St Albans residents and Japanese food lovers across Christchurch. The combination of authentic flavours, consistent quality, and warm service creates an experience that feels genuinely Japanese — not a watered-down Western interpretation. The portions are generous, the prices fair, and the atmosphere welcoming whether you're dining solo, with family, or catching up with friends.
