A little bit about us.
Tomoko 朋子 means “friendly child”.
Born from a passion for Japanese cuisine and the culture of casual dining, Tomoko is a place where friends, family, and noodle lovers come together. It’s our way of celebrating Japan’s beautiful food – and the simple joy of sharing it with your favourite people.
Next stop, Tomoko.
You’ll find us on Ashley Road in Parkstone, Poole — just a short walk from Waitrose supermarket.
There’s street parking opposite, and we’re only about a five-minute walk from a public car park. The More M1 and M2 buses stop on Ashley Road, and the nearest train stations are Branksome and Parkstone, served by South Western Railway.
Slurp. Smile. Repeat.
Every bowl has a story — and so do our guests. Here’s what they’re saying about their experience with us. From first slurp to last sip, we’re grateful for every kind word.
Thank you!
