I came here several times. I always have a good time and the food is phenomenal. Kumamoto oyster and sashimi plate are the best!

This is a review specifically about the Ikura don. I love ikura so was super happy to see that they have ikura don on the menu! I also got the chirashi don, which was great. But as for the ikura... why is it so sweet? The ikura is marinated in a very SWEET sauce.... that I could hardly taste the special taste of the ikura itself. I just wanted to let the management know that that marinade sauce for the ikura is WAY too sweet!! Please highlight the taste of the ikura itself. 🙏🙏🙏

Not bad for a local spot. Scallop carpaccio was decent. Cucumber salad was refreshing. Corn ribs were good! Gyudon and Mentaiko pasta were crowd favorite. Salmon lover was just okay. Chicken thigh and short beef skewers were tasty. Service was attentive. Ambiance screamed gentrification but expected. I would go back to try other items on the menu if I’m in the area.

Absolutely incredible surprise of as space. We had almost given up on local eateries after years of local dining (with a few exceptions). This was great food, impeccable service, fantastic drinks and the space itself is small yet perfectly utilized. We went for some staples we enjoy elsewhere, and now we can’t wait to venture out to their other options.

Tora was anything but disappointing. The tuna crispy rice was probably the best dish we tried on the menu, and their mocktails were also incredibly refreshing. Both of the signature rolls we ordered were delicious. It’s a lowkey spot, so it’s not too crowded which is a bonus. If you’re looking for a place that is casual but also fun, this is the spot!

I’m honestly short of words to describe how much I love this place. I came for the first time and was blown away by the fish tacos and crispy tuna—the flavors are incredible. Their ramen and corn ribs are also amazing, I’m completely obsessed!

No wait time, super friendly service, and such great attention to detail. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.

I live in the neighborhood and can’t help myself—I end up coming at least three times a month. Do yourself a favor and try them out, you won’t regret it!

I have lived in nyc for over 12 years and in that time had maaany meals. This is by far the best meal I have ever had in my entire life. It almost doesn’t feel real because every course was so perfect and expertly prepared. To start we had the grilled squid with a spicy citrusy sweet sauce, the vegetable tempura, and the oysters which were topped with yuzu vinegar and some fresh salmon roe (what a bite omg). Then we had the mentaiko pasta with crispy bacon which was so creamy salty and unctuous and also had the tora Don (raw shrimp, raw scallop, king crab, Ikura, uni, and a little bit of caviar) which was the most mind blowing bite of the whole meal. I will definitely be coming back to try more stuff. It’s insane that this place is tucked away off knickerbocker. Might be the best Japanese food in the whole city. Just the absolute best dinner I have ever had ever ever.
