    Really tasteful yakitori and udon. Very friendly staff. A must go if you enjoy the Japanese kitchen. Try the 2 sake on the photo. Top one is dry, bottom one has more flavour.

    Best damn miso I've ever had: with meatballs & big spring onions. Green pepper skewer delicious. Not quite convinced by the chicken&pork skewer... A bit like white meatloaf.

    Tender with wasabi and heart. The liver is also so tender and great. Chu-hi is not as sweet as I'd expect, and the prices are a bit high, but good flavor.

    No cash for Ramen Lab? Head here for an authentic Japanese Yakitori experience. Raw octopus on seaweed, warm and crispy rice balls and yakitori cooked and seasoned perfectly.

    The yakitori is exceptionally flavorful. We also loved the beef rice ball, the tamago, and the grilled beef tongue.

    Great yakitori. Nice atmosphere. Reminds of nice izakaya in Tokyo.

    The pork cheeks and ribs were amazing. Also the chicken wings.

    The washlet is the model without a drier, so careful how much you rinse

    Is it good? I wouldn't know and probably will never know. Incredibly rude encounter with a female wait staff last night - simply asked how long the wait to be seated would be

    It is decent food, but pricey. I would rather go to Saint Marks where it's more reasonable and lively. It would be good to go on a quiet date.

    PS Tora is frequented by Japanese people, which says it all
