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!

  1. Yellowtail Crudo — Buttery yellowtail bursting in flavor, courtesy of the jalapeño kick & vinaigrette dressing.

  2. 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!

  3. Braised Pork Belly — A light, sweet savory balance! Just what you need during Happy Hour.

  4. Mentaiko Fries — Crunchy and topped with mentaiko mayo, seaweed flakes.

  5. Miso Black Cod — Delicate with the sweetest glaze.
