The Asian Fusion is perfect. We had delicious bowls with rice, crack salad, pork in one, chicken in the other, and poached eggs. The bowls were large, beautiful and scrumptious. we shared a basque burnt cheese cake, tasting well carmelized and creamy. It came with rhubarb compote and is worth its own trip. Service is professional, friendly, knowledgable and at lunch there was no attempt to push drinks. However, an earlier trip showed that the fresh fruit juice cocktails are just great. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is spotless, comfortable, well ventilated, acrylic separations are at every place, and Covid Masking is in effect.

Good food. Disappointing that the bartender doesn't work until 3pm. Service is slow but to be fair, she was the only server and we weren't in a rush. Best Beef Noodle Soup ever. All the food was very tasty.

Here with a group of 5 on vacation. Ordered the kaiseki menu and it was fantastic. Had the ahi, potatoes, and lamb for the main courses. Delicious. Appetizers were great - kale salad was perfect. Desserts were enough for more than 5 of us. Cocktails all great too.

I have ordered take out from Torafuku before, but it was my first dining experience. It was a nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food has always been delicious, but this time I enjoyed a few of their cocktails and I was not disappointed. I would definitely go here again and would recommend it to others as well.

Food was great, server was great and vibe was great too. The seating was tight at the long table which both my friend and I felt constraint. We are 6ft and 6ft + tall guys. The only reason I marked down on the value was because we were debating between omakase special $65/pp and a la carte and realized it’s actually cheaper when we order a la carte and get to choose what we want. End up around $59/pp + tax and tip (5 appy 2 main & shared among 3 of us) and it was filling. Conclusion: its worth going again, this time I might put our height on the special note for special seating accommodation 😂.

The food was disappointing to be honest. Many dishes were over salted and the duck had no flavour. The tiramisu was also very dry. It has potential but overall not good value for the money and wouldn’t recommend.
