" A gem of a restaurant! I enjoyed the kaisen don and was very happy with my meal. The flavors transported me back to my trip to Japan. The only downside was the limited seating, but the food more than makes up for it. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I stopped by Tora on a whim and were thoroughly impressed. The donburi bowls are hearty and flavorful. The staff was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Ramen was also top-notch. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
