    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.

    Came here on Friday lunch. It's hard to find any free parking there. Love this place for some innovative Asian fusion food. Three of us shared plate of salad and it's excellent. The fried chicken on rice and pork belly were delicious.

    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.

    A hidden gem in Vancouver, this place is amazing. Was excited to return to try another version of their tasting menu and we weren’t disappointed. Amazing food and a very reasonable price, great wine that is affordable and outstanding service. Good job team Torafuku, keep doing what you are doing.

    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

    A group of 6 of us stopped by for a light lunch before venturing into Chinatown. The Torafuku team were very welcoming, attentive and very prompt once we got down to ordering our meals. We had various versions of the rice bowl (with chicken, with pork, etc) and all of us really enjoyed them. We stuck with non-alcoholic drinks - a couple of us order the Tamarind mocktail; which was delicious. A great choice for lunch.

    We ordered four items. Everything was delicious and pretty in plates. Service was a bit off but he is only one waiter and handles many take out orders at the same time. Only I would love to see better is ambiance in the restaurant. There is no lights so it was a bit dark inside although the sunny day. There is no ac for a hot summer day. There is a fruit fly around our table. Food was delicious but this ambiance was too bad.

    This was our family’s second time and it was just as fantastic as the first. The tasting menu is the way to go! As a family of 5 we ordered the tasting menu for 4 and then added the wings and cornbread a la carte and it was the perfect amount of food. The wings, burrata, bison tartare and the halibut were the biggest hits but honestly everything was delicious. We will definitely be back!!

    Excellent experience - this was actually my second time dining at Torafuku in the same week for dinner. Both times the service and food were excellent, and very consistent. Creative yet very tasty (and filling) dishes and the Basque cheesecake was amazing. Since I went early both times, the restaurant was fairly quiet at first but filled up fast with customers and was clearly very popular. Highly recommend!

    We had the menu. Starter were outstanding. Main course was also top. Is was hot, so not so filigran and multitasting like the starters. A hint that it is hot would help. The cheesecake was from texture and tasting were well manufactured. From the quantity was plentiful. A little bit less quantity but therefore more sophisticated would be nice. The rhubarb was ok but nothing special. We had a very good and faire calculated local vine. All in all a very pleasant evening.

    I didn't think it was as good as the reviews suggested. The portions typically small. Borata dish was mostly beets tiniest amount of Borata. Wings were very good. Short rib cooked very well not significantly different from other short rib I've had was dissapointed it wasn't as flavourful as I thought.
