Delicious delicious delicious!!! Nicely plated food, well cooked and decadent! There were 5 of us and we shared a bunch of dishes and not one person had a bad thing to say about any of the dishes we ordered. It’s a place worth returning to and we will. Even my mocktail was exceptional, you gotta try the steak and I’m a fish lover and the halibut was flaky and falling apart good! Go try it out and you won’t regret it and the area could deter people from going but look past that and you’ll be amazed.

My wife and I recently visited this restaurant for the first time (it was her second visit), and we were thoroughly impressed. We opted for the shared 5-course prix fixe menu as part of the dine out festival, which was splendid. The highlights for us were the sable fish and mussels - both were exceptional. We also enjoyed the desserts; they were outstanding and a perfect way to conclude our meal. The portions were generous, ensuring you leave feeling satisfied. At 65, it offers fantastic value, and we’d like to extend our kudos to both the front of house and back of house teams for their friendly, efficient, and genuine service. A special tip: if you’re dining in a small group, consider sitting at the bar. It’s a great spot to watch the culinary action unfold, which my wife and I particularly love (having just finished watching ‘The Bear’, it was a real treat). Highly recommended

Had the tasting menu with a group of 10 and everything was amazing. Each dish so good and a variety of tastes and textures. Same as the Omakase, but a bit cheaper cuz we were a big group. Great value actually as we were all stuffed and very impressed. Favourite items were the halibut and risotto, braised beef cheeks, and the mushroom udon. But damn everything was super tasty.

Came for Dine Out. Every dish was delicious. Service was a bit slow - and the waitress forgot she hadn’t given us dessert yet. However, we weren’t in a rush so it didn’t really bother us. Would definitely come back.

Torafuku – 7 Course Omakase Experience (Vancouver BC – Father’s Day visit) We made a reservation at Torafuku on Father’s Day and the team was super welcoming. The vibe was laid back but still refined. Warm lighting, friendly service, and a creative tasting menu made it a great choice for the occasion. Here’s how the seven courses went down — each one brought its own little surprise. ⸻ Zucchini This starter was fresh and vibrant. You get zucchini salad with preserved lemon vinaigrette, crispy zucchini tempura, and a fluffy whipped lemon ricotta. It felt like the kind of dish that resets your palate and wakes you up in the best way. ⸻ Foie and Buns This was rich and playful. The foie gras and chicken liver parfait were creamy and smooth, served with a fruity compote and crushed hazelnuts on soft house made milk bread. A perfect sweet and savory bite that didn’t feel too heavy. ⸻ Scallop Crudo A really refreshing dish with thinly sliced Hokkaido scallop, compressed Asian pear, and a slightly tart rhubarb aguachile. Then they added elderflower orange ice crystals that melt and give you this cool floral note. Every bite had texture and temperature play going on. Really well done. ⸻ Wagyu This was my favorite. The wagyu beef hanger had great flavor without being too fatty. The roasted morel mushroom and spicy truffle tare gave it that creamy earthy base, and the pickled onions cut through to keep things bright. What really made it pop was the slightly sweet naan bread. All those flavors layered together in one bite felt rich, fresh, and balanced. ⸻ Halibut The halibut was pan seared and tender. Served over summer greens with crispy radish and fingerling potatoes. What made it stand out was the green curry and salmon roe. It was a fusion of comfort and brightness that brought a whole different mood to the meal. ⸻ Cornish Game Hen This turmeric fried chicken had a lot going on in a good way. Smoky fermented chili sambal brought the heat while the cucumber and pandan coconut rice cooled it down. It was bold and homey — kind of like something you’d get from a family kitchen but elevated. ⸻ Sweet Tooth – Basque Cheesecake For dessert I chose the Basque cheesecake. It was smooth and mellow with a subtle char flavor and came with seasonal berry compote. Not too sweet or tart — just a creamy finish to round out the meal. ⸻ Drinks I ordered a smoky old fashioned (and maybe a second one) and it paired perfectly with everything. Not too strong, just enough to sip and enjoy between dishes. ⸻ Final thoughts Torafuku nails that sweet spot between fancy and fun. The seven course tasting is a great value at 75 per person. The flavours are creative, the portions are satisfying, and the whole experience feels thoughtful without being too formal. Perfect for a date night, a celebration, or just treating yourself. My only complaint is that I had to wait five minutes just to get my bill... they can use an extra staff for sure.

Aesthetic place and food. Tasty and interesting. Really enjoyed the tempura mushrooms (forgot to photograph them). Drinks were refreshing and delicious. Service was incredibly kind.

Our dine out dinner at this lovely little restaurant was amazing! They have a casual trendy decor that sets the tone for a relaxed dining environment. Their version of Whisky Sour hit the spot! Kicking off, was their yellow beet salad followed by the yellow fin tuna, mussels, black cod with shrimps - we took the garlic shrimp add on. The texture of every dish was perfect, outstanding delicate flavours signalling their Japanese fusion concept. Clearly, the menu was curated to showcase their culinary prowess that earned them the well deserved Michelin recognition! Their staff were efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. Overall - excellent dining experience; we’ll be back

Their lunchtime dine out menu was delicious! I especially liked the fried chicken rice bowl and the beef noodle soup - I’d come back here again just for those dishes! The pork belly had a great flavour but I found it a bit tough for my liking. The appetizers and desserts were also quite good, but nothing like their main courses. Overall, amazing price for a three course lunch meal. I left stuffed and in a food coma :)
