Restaurant was able to accommodate my party of 7 people to celebrate a coworkers farewell dinner. I wanna give a shout out to Britney, our server. She’s so sweet. When we asked her to change the show on our nearest tv to HunterxHunter, she was like yeah! No problem <3 everyone really liked their food. Especially the octopus tacos and chicken teriyaki tacos. The lychee spritz is dangerously good. Not too sweet. The vibes were immaculate. They had 3 tv screens playing nostalgic Anime. I always recommend this place to my friends

Its my second time at Torafuku. I came at 3:30 hoping to order the tasting menu again but it didn't start until 6. However I got to try their happy hour menu....You Will Not Be Disappointed. We ordered 4 items from the menu so we will try the rest next time. As always, great service, ambience and food!
