Tora Japanese Restaurant is a cozy establishment located in the basement, known for its delicious food and intimate atmosphere. The quality of the fish is described as phenomenal, with thick cuts and fresh taste, and the sashimi rice bowl is super fresh and tasty. The Tora Don is a recommended dish, although it is on the pricier side. However, some may find the food to be of average quality — yummy but not mindblowing — despite its popularity. The restaurant can get crowded, with long wait times during peak hours, and the small space gets pretty loud with a crowd. In the past, the price of certain dishes like Wagyu Don and foie gras were lower, but weekday lunch specials now offer meals for $15-$17. The staff are nice and service is fast, with knowledgeable and attentive service that makes guests feel welcome. The food is visually appealing, with a diverse array of options, though it does not fall into the extraordinary.
