About The ToreOre

The ToreOre is a popular fried chicken spot that has been a favorite among locals for years. The restaurant is known for its delicious garlic chicken, which used to be drenched in a sweet garlic sauce, sprinkled with sesame and dried garlic pieces, and cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. However, recent changes in ownership seem to have affected the quality of the food. The chicken is now reported to taste more like boiled chicken rather than the crispy fried version customers once enjoyed. Additionally, the rice served is no longer the Asian Jasmine variety, but rather a more generic white rice. Despite these changes, the restaurant still offers several other flavors of fried chicken. Many customers appreciate that the chicken is nut allergy friendly and travels well, especially the Fried Crispy Chicken, which maintains a nice crispy crunch even after 15-25 minutes of travel. The Hot & Spicy Chicken, however, does not travel as well because the sauce affects its crispiness. The care taken with the packaging, including a steam vent flap in the box, helps to keep the chicken crispy longer. The ToreOre is conveniently located within an H-Mart, making it easy for customers to combine fried chicken cravings with grocery shopping. Overall, it remains a pretty solid option for tasty fried chicken in the grocery store.
