Beautiful setting indoors, worthy of fine dining experience. For Columbus, the menu seems unique and varied, worth the adventure out to try out Asian variety food fare.

We have sushi for our anniversary every year and have been looking for an alternative to Akai Hana since their sushi prices continue to climb. And Tora was great! Sushi rice was nice and firm, sashimi all tasted great, and the tempura was all well done. The basic rolls we ordered had 6 pieces not 8 like you often see while the special rolls were 8 pieces. I often judge nice sushi places by their amaebi, uni, and hotate and Tora definitely passes. They all had a good ocean flavor, not too watery or soft either. Would definitely go again. Went on a Sunday at 5:30 and it wasn't too busy. (Also another benefit to Akai Hana where a reservation is almost required). Is it as good as Akai Hana? Honestly no, but my sashimi plate was $32 not $47 and none of their special rolls are over $20 while most of Akai Hanas are, and Akai Hana isn't 50% better. So Tora was really good and I would go again.

First time eating here. Large menu was a little overwhelming on what to choose. Place was clean & staff was friendly, food was good but not stellar.

The atmosphere and the service was much better than the food! Unfortunately, my role was not good at all and they made it special because I’m gluten-free. They said I couldn’t have the Wassabi and I’ve had wasabi everywhere I’ve eaten before and the tuna on my sashimi platter wasn’t fresh. For the first time ever eating sushi we left food on the table when we were done.

Tora is amazing! Jessica and Dylan were fantastic! I am such a picky eater and they offered me so many options to choose from. I would be here every day for dinner if I could!

I have recently had to switch to a gluten free diet due to health conditions and have been going to Tora for many years. After my first visit since this change, staff was firstly very uneducated about the available options, and then told me that no sushi could be prepared gluten free. After that, I asked if plain rice that is for hibachi can be used instead of the sushi rice(which is apparently not gluten free) to make sushi, and they refused to make this accommodation as they “don’t do it that way”. I was very disappointed and unfortunately will not be going back. I do not recommend Tora if you are gluten free or have dietary restrictions.

Food used to be great. Recently, the quality has really dropped. Tonight, I had the assorted sushi and karaage for appetizer. Now I'm having explosive diarrhea ~1.5 hours after eating there. Always upsetting when you spend so much money at a restaurant and then end up with diarrhea.

Nice sushi/asian food restaurant 10-15 min from the Columbus airport. Prices are average-high and quality is good. Ample parking. Not a huge salad or vegetarian selection.
Always great food. The whole menu is tasty.
