Dishola: Reviews by the Dish

The “Screaming Orgasm” ($13), a moan-worthy sashimi salad of clean-tasting yellowtail, shredded daikon radish, and a spicy, creamy ponzu dressing. This restaurant is a hidden gem--the chefs actually cooked at Nobu in Vegas. Sin City's loss is Austin's gain.

Wow, this is the first dish I got here and it was worthy of its name. Everything we got was delicious, and the screaming orgasm was probably the best. You'd be a fool to pass up this one. I'm just glad I live across the street from Tomo, because it gives me an excuse to go there more often. :)

So, based on the Dishola reviews, I had to try this one. Wow. I am impressed. It is a special version of Tuna Tataki that makes the perfect appetizer in my opinion. The portions of fish are generous enough to share with your special friend, and the inside of the mound is filled with very fresh, crunchy diakon... but that's a good thing because the sauce is so freakin' delicious, you are thrilled to have a shredded, tasteless vehicle to mop as much sauce onto your tongue as possible while still minding your manners.

There are little masagos and scallions sprinkled on top. I asked our waitress what was in the *divine* sauce and was told it was a "secret" and she made the pinching motion with her right hand as if to say, "you are crossing dangerous territory with that question and better shut up now, little naive gaijin." All I can say is that it is tangy in a citrus way, creamy in a Japanese mayo way, and very very smooth. There was lots of it too, so I felt like my money was well-spent.

If an orgasm screams in a strip-mall in North Austin with no one to hear it, then does it make a sound? The answer to this riddle is unequivocally yes!! This little mountain of tantalizingness is the perfect way to start out your meal at Tomo. As embyorg pointed out, the pleasure and the value are well worth your time and money. If you haven't been to Tomo, go now neophyte, unless it is a Sunday, because it is closed.

"Moan-worthy" indeed. This absolutely qualifies as a dishola "Divine Dish"!
