    We love the share dishes. We also love the approach by the staff, where any server will take and/or deliver orders and dishes - no individual with a monopoly on our table, angling for tips - you feel more like tipping as a result!

    Delicious and creative food. Umami flavours and interesting textures that make your mouth happy. We loved everything we tried: oh my sake cocktail, kanpachi crudo, chicken wings, crack salad, burrata salad and burnt basque cheesecake, all excellent.

    Had higher expectations for a Michelin recommended restaurant. Plates were very small, food was over salted or under seasoned. Server did not check on us to ask how the food was. The value of it all was just not there unfortunately. Spent $300+ and end up grabbing a pizza afterwards.

    Thank you for the feedback, we are sorry that our food and service were not up to your standard, we will re-evaluate our food quality and portion to ensure we provide a much more satisfying experience for our diners in the future.

    Chef’s menu food quality and taste was exceptional. Portions were very small. 6 of us all ordered the chef’s menu. $70 each. (Used to be $50) Family style share plates were small and a few of us left hungry. Room temperature was way too hot.

    Food was delicious but sadly came over an hour late for our party. The portions were also quite small for the price, but everything was well cooked and seasoned. Loved the chicken wings and bison tartare most. Risotto was great, but not worth $32.

    Had the omakase for 2. Amazing value: 4 appetizers, main+side of choice, and dessert of choice for $65/person. The seafood was beautiful and fresh; the restaurant was quiet even when mostly full. Never had to wait for a drink or a plate to be taken away. Perfect date night - thanks to the team at Torafuku!

    Came excited to try their revamped menu after they got Michelin recommended. Was served cold “steamed” buns with one of our entrees, duck tasted gamey. Service was almost non-existent, napkins were not given once nor was table ever wiped down or plates changed between dishes. Server left to “come back with the drinks menu” but never came back with it and I did not want to ask again. There was also a fly that kept flying around all evening… noted that it was a birthday dinner but they could not even provide a candle or anything with dessert. It seems like they’re just very understaffed.

    TorafukuResponded on August 4, 2023

    Hi there, our sincere apology for the unpleasant experience last night. We were a bit short staffed and that's something we will be working on. The buns should be heated up properly before serving, though we offered a brand new hot bun right afterward, we understand your frustration of not getting the hot bun at the first attempt. We appreciate your feedback and we will work on the aspects that you mentioned, thank you kindly.

    An absolutely wonderful meal. The cocktails were very creative; we each had two, which we rarely do. The food was also creative and delicious. We had the black prawn salad, chicken wings,, bison tartare, corn bread, and short ribs, all of which were outstanding. The duck was good but not up to the standard of the other dishes. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and efficient; excellent service. We highly recommend Torafuku.

    it was our first time dining at Torofuku and we will definitely be back. My husband and I both had the chef tasting menu for $65. All the meals were just phenomenal. My personal favorites were the Burrata, chicken wings, beef short ribs and cheesecake!! honestly the whole menu was great. Our server Ada was so professional as well as Daiju I hope I spelled his name correctly. The bartender Miguel made amazing cocktails! everyone was so friendly. you have to try if you haven't been, you will not be disappointed! 10/10
