Torafuku - Vancouver, British Columbia

Our first time here was enjoyable. It’s a cute eatery albeit in a seedy area. We found parking a block away, near a construction site…yes, there are still 1-hour parking streets nearby. The front is not very welcoming…dark, almost thought it was closed. However, the inside was nice, roomy and ... cute. The food was very flavourful. Prices were ok, too. Read more

I can tell why they got lots of restaurant award. Food was outstanding! Prices are affordable but the quality is so much higher than some fancy restaurants. They change the menu every seasons, I wanna try everything! Definitely worth to visit.

🌶️ Spice Up Your Life with Torafuku's Culinary Magic! 🍲 🥢 Upon entering Torafuku, the clean, minimalist interior immediately struck a chord, offering a serene canvas that complemented the meal's vibrant flavors. The space's simplicity and elegance were as thoughtfully curated as the dishes themselves. Opted for their Beef Noodle Soup ... and 'I Love Dumpling' - a true delight, with the Beef Noodle Soup broth's symphony of flavors rich and sweet, elevating every sip to a memorable experience. 🍲 🍹 The Kanpai Negroni, recommended to enhance the dining experience, perfectly complemented the meal, adding a sophisticated touch to the hearty dishes. The restaurant's commitment to minimalism not only in its culinary approach but also in its decor, created an ambiance of understated elegance. 😌 As I left Torafuku, a blend of satisfaction and a hint of regret lingered - why had I only discovered this gem now? It's a culinary journey I wished I had embarked on sooner. Don't repeat my mistake; Torafuku is a must-visit! Read more

Restaurant was packed for dine out but there was this surprisingly calm almost zen like vibe from the open kitchen. I’ve never seen chefs so chill (or I’ve been watching too much The Bear). Food was good but salty with not much attention to plating. Portions were generous. Service was fine. ... Overall it was good but I was expecting a little more for the price. Leans more casual than fine dining. Read more

My wife and I recently visited this restaurant for the first time (it was her second visit), and we were thoroughly impressed. We opted for the shared 5-course prix fixe menu as part of the dine out festival, which was splendid. The highlights for us were the sable fish and mussels - ... both were exceptional. We also enjoyed the desserts; they were outstanding and a perfect way to conclude our meal. The portions were generous, ensuring you leave feeling satisfied. At $65, it offers fantastic value, and we’d like to extend our kudos to both the front of house and back of house teams for their friendly, efficient, and genuine service. A special tip: if you’re dining in a small group, consider sitting at the bar. It’s a great spot to watch the culinary action unfold, which my wife and I particularly love (having just finished watching ‘The Bear’, it was a real treat). Highly recommended Read more
