Notable mentions are their daily 4-6pm happy hour and late night happy hour starting at 10pm on weekdays. 442 W Grand Central Ave #190, Tampa, FL 33606.
The Visionary Boss Verdict
Starters
There is something for every palate when you’re dining at Tori. We tried the Pork Belly (my favorite), Chicken Karaage, and a few rounds of the grilled Chicken skewers (so juicy)!
The Run-Down
Whether you crave the heartier, or prefer more fish-oriented items, you will have a tasty field day with the menu. A mix of the grilled skewers & an array of assorted cold tastings just may be the remedy for a late-night date night or casual yet fun dinner for two.
I have curated a list of must-haves to try at Tori below!
Yellowtail Crudo — Buttery yellowtail bursting in flavor, courtesy of the jalapeño kick & vinaigrette dressing.
Yellowtail Jalapeño and Spicy Salmon Hand-roll — The hand rolls are equally filling and fresh. Just the right amount of spice & packed with a generous amount of salmon. Chef’s treat!
Braised Pork Belly — A light, sweet savory balance! Just what you need during Happy Hour.
Mentaiko Fries — Crunchy and topped with mentaiko mayo, seaweed flakes.
Miso Black Cod — Delicate with the sweetest glaze.
