very good sushi. highly recommended
Fair environment, service and food. Will go again

Torake Japanese Cuisine offers a cozy atmosphere with high standards of food and service. Their premium omakase menu features a variety of traditional and fusion flavors, with dishes that are fresh and delicious. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall in south Richmond, offering an intimate setting with 18 seats, including four at the chef's bar. The decor is stylish yet understated, creating a feel similar to dining in Tokyo or Osaka.
The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, offering an extensive sake selection with many unique choices that are continually sourced. The sushi is outstanding, and the food consistently excellent, making it a true hidden gem valued by repeat customers. Customers praise the exceptionally warm and welcoming service, with the staff's genuine enthusiasm and attention to detail. The restaurant has a clean, modern interior design that feels both elegant and comfortable, creating a great atmosphere for dining.
All the fish are in season and incredibly fresh, and every dish is beautifully prepared with flavors that are perfectly balanced - rich yet delicate, allowing the natural taste of the ingredients to shine. Both the à la carte menu and the omakase set offer excellent value for the quality and experience provided. It's a place worth returning to each season, as the menu changes with the freshest seasonal ingredients and always feels new and exciting.
