    The staff is very friendly and seated us promptly. They explained every dish when serving. Starting with the appetizers to dessert! We opted to try the chefs 7 course shared tasting menu. Our highlights included hamachi crudo, mussels (that broth OMG!) 24 short ribs (a must for us!) and the creamiest cheese cake! Not too sweet and paired with quince jam! Perfect! We will definitely go back.

    We had the omakase menu and it was so fun to try an eclectic selection of items! The cheesecake was absolutely incredible - highly recommend it, one of the best in the city! Such amazing service - would definitely go back!

    Incredible service and excellent food. I made the reservation for six but one couldn’t make it and the table was promptly ready. Compliments to the friendly bartender as well as the chefs for the delicious drinks and food. Ambience is so relaxing and open, feels airy, and a place I see myself coming back as a regular after a busy day. Thank you.

    Went with four others and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We have eaten at many of Vancouver's Michelin star restaurants and finer dining experiences and we all agreed that we enjoyed Torafuko equally as much! Plus all the staff were very friendly. Loved their pottery dishes too 😊

    Very good dinner. That dine out deal was really excellent. Buns to start were nice. Brussels sprouts dish was very tasty, as were the mushrooms. The crudo was really fantastic, best I've had in awhile.. mussels were also very good. Fried sea bream was great, as was the mushrooms with udon - maybe the best udon noodles I've had. Desserts were good, but not as good as the rest. Service was OK, friendly but somewhat confused at times, and the timing of our dinner was very strange. Very good overall, and I'll be back.

    Service was amazing. Staff was very welcoming and prompt with their service. Portions were good; however, it felt limiting that for a reservation of 2 we could only pick 1 dish per course (the day we went they only had Dine Out menu). The food was okay. I had heard amazing things about it, but unfortunately I did not feel like the flavours were there. For instance, the fried rice was bland and all I could really taste was the egg white. The desserts were okay, but not thing amazing. For $69 per person I felt like portion-wise was a good value (bread, appy, first dish, main course and dessert) but for how they actually tasted, it didn’t seem like a good value.

    My partner and I went for date night and got to experience the dine out menu! Great variety to choose from in their 5 courses and was impressed with every dish. Lovely interiors and intimate atmosphere. The service was a bit slow later in the evening when it was a full house and it took us forever to get our bill but other than that the food was great and staff was friendly. Only got a photo of dessert (which I had captured the sea bream, it was great)

    Loved everything about our dinner here! We got the omakase chef’s selections so got to try many dishes! Everything we ate was delicious but the kanpachi crudo and mussels were the best out of the bunch. Service was very attentive, friendly and considerate. Can’t wait to go again for next seasonal menu!

    Came here for lunch with a friend. We ordered the dumplings, kickass rice bowl and beef noodle soup. The dumplings were just so so. The dough was a bit thick and the meat was a bit bland. The rice bowl and the noodles were good but nothing to write home about. The food could’ve been a little hotter. There was nothing really wrong with the meal, I’m glad I tried it but am I rushing back to have it? Ummm no. It’s a little pricey for what you get but hey, that’s Vancouver for you. Especially since they’ve been mentioned by Michelin.
