Food came quickly and was delicious. I had the curry ramen and my husband had seaweed salad and sushi rolls. Waiter was slow to bring our check. Also, music was way too loud.

This is the best place for Ramen within a 10-mile radius. Broths are simple but tasty, and plenty of add-in options allow for multiple variations on their standard offerings. Casual and welcomng atmosphere. Service is friendly but not highly attentive, so you may have to wave down someone for another drink or order.

Two top-notch experiences. During our most recent visit the service and food were both fabulous. Our server, Antoine, sets the bar for excellence. He was attentive without over-doing it, patient with our kids, helpful when we had questions and super kind. In a world where quality service is becoming a rare luxury, he made our night. Even our 8 year old said to me "He is SO nice". And the food was delicious. Perfect night. Thank you!

Have loved this place. However, third visit when we have had to flag someone to take our order. This time, potstickers frozen in the middle so obviously not fresh and one order came before appetizer and rest a long time after appetizer. Ramen is still wonderful though….

The cocktails were terrific: cucumber martini and the gin blossom. Our waitress was very patient going thru the menu with us, and answering our specific questions. She even checked with the kitchen when we said we sought the flavors like that of a tonkatsu broth. The edamame and sunomono appetizers were both delicious and fresh. We both really enjoyed our bowls of Sammy Ramen with a side of chicken karaage. Also enjoyed watching college volleyball while eating by the sushi. Despite their being very busy on a Friday night, service was a good balance of attentive yet not overwhelming. We kept asking ourselves why we don’t come more often. It’s close, easy and delicious! The menu has expanded since we were last here so we’ll definitely be back to try the sushi rolls and poke bowls.

Been many times but I just love visiting this restaurant. Ramen is great and love to have keto options. The bar is the best!!! Recently did a Sake tasting and a Omakase lunch that was amazing. I really enjoy all the special meals and educational events. We love Japanese upturn and want more. Love this place and would recommend for anyone.

Hesitant to order the Citrus salad at a dynamite Ramen & Sushi place. Glad I did. All the ingredients were so fresh and the sesame dressing was amazing! Lettuce Cups could be better if it had bigger pieces of chopped up chicken. It was too bread-y & crunchy for me. Fam loved all their ramen bowls & bao buns.

I hate to write this because we want to support local places and had positive experiences previously, before Torino expanded in size. Unfortunately since their expansion we haven’t enjoyed Torino and will not return again. Have heard from others the same thing. Service-Inconsistent. At a table for 4, one of us was served our entire dinner before the others had even been served their apps. Not great. The curry ramen had very little broth, the broth that was there was like a thick gravy and was too salty to eat. Other dishes were okay but no one loved it. I will say that their prices are reasonable…but one would hope so after experiencing the food. Again-Torino ramen is off the table….will try another spot in Evanston for the next ramen craving.

Delicious food! We had karage, angry tuna rolls and teriyaki chicken. Their ramen is excellent too, my favorite is the curry.. it’s kinda weird that your food typically comes out before your drinks, but they are yummy too. The servers are very friendly and efficient but the water guy is the best! He’s friendly, pays attention to detail, and always checks to make sure you have everything you need to help the servers who are typically super busy.. it’s a great spot!

Torino ramen is WONDERFUL we absolutely love it! And go frequently… which seems to be the MO of everyone on the north shore because you definitely need a reservation… I can’t recommend the entire menu enough and suggest hitting their happy hour for half priced drinks!

It was our first time there, and they have Ramen for everyone, even for vegetarians and those watching carbs! The potato croquettes are fantastic and we really loved the Mango Tango Sushi Roll. Torino is featuring a summer ramen special - Pico de Ramen - that's super flavorful with poblano sauce, pico de gallow, and corn, and SERVED COLD -yes cold! It's a summer ramen salad - so refreshing! We will definitely be back!

This is the best Ramen choice on the North Shore, located in the growing restarant district in Central Wilmette. The service is quick and friendly, if not particularly attentive. For some reason, they play a rock music track that I'm sure is meant to create a energetic vibe, but set a tad too loudly, it distracts from the otherwise warm and social setting. The menu includes several other Japanese items, but the flavorful broths and firm noodles make their specialty the star.

Great place for date night or a family meal! My husband and I do date night and eat later, but bring our 3 kids for an earlier dinner around 5:30. They love the ramen, sushi, and Japanese style chicken for kids! I loved their anniversary drink and the kids loved the sparkling lemonade mocktails. The service was fast and timely for three kids, and the food was hot and tasty! We love our waitress Kaitlyn. She was kind and helpful and just made the night and experience even better! We can't wait to come back!

Food was good. Service was awful. We couldn’t get a fork or anything. We just got up ourselves to get what we needed. Waitress only took our order and gave us a bill when we asked for the bill. The male helper was the only one who was super helpful. He brought our food out. He asked if we got our sushi yet. He should have been the waiter. Food is authentic and good each time we go. Just wish the service matched the quality of the food.
