I'm so happy that this restaurant is just a 2 min walk from my apartment. The food here is amazing…read moreand the ambiance is nice and peaceful. Food and alcohol is fairly priced and food is flavorful/well seasoned which is hard to find in a Japanese restaurant. The service is quick and food didn't take a while to come out. We ordered shishito peppers, corn ribs, beef sukiyaki, pork belly wrapped enoki mushrooms, and Miyazaki a5 Wagyu hot stone grill. * Shishito peppers 5/5 My favorite out of everything we ordered. It's a MUST TRY! The sauce it's in has yuzu so it's nice, savory, a lil sweet, a lil sour, and a little citrusy - it's perfect for my tastebuds. Literally could not get over how good the sauce was. It also tasted good to dip the corn ribs in that sauce!! * Corn ribs 5/5 Grilled corn ribs with seasoning and cheese, super simple but super tasty. Can never go wrong with corn ribs! * Beef Sukiyaki 5/5 Nice and flavorful broth, the meat is tender, there's also a knot of clear noodles at the bottom of the bowl. * Pork Belly Wrapped enoki 5/5 GOOD. Who doesn't love pork belly AND mushrooms (only crazy people) ?! Amazing flavor, nice and smokey, with crunchy enoki mushrooms * Miyazaki A5 Wagyu 5/5 Good, nice to order once just to try since it is a little on the pricier side bc it's A5 Wagyu, personally I'd rather go to an A5 Wagyu restaurant if I want A5 Wagyu. Nonetheless, it was nice to try! This was enough food to share between my sister and I, without feeling overly full and bloated. Definitely will be coming back regularly since it's so close to home.

I'm going to give Tora some extra points because it's SO hard to find good asian food in this area…read moreof Brooklyn. Tora I think is a true jack of all trades, while many restaurants try to excel in one area I think Tora does amazing at multiple. It's good for sushi, ramen, noodles, etc. Just an overall really well-rounded japanese spot. I think their serving sizes are also very good. Though I'll say I don't think Tora particularly excels in one thing it's not going to be the best ramen or sushi you've had in your life but, for something that's close? Affordable? Has no line? It's definitely the best. Very above average in every regard. Haven't eaten here in person so can't speak on their service but at least their food? Great get pick-up/delivery all the time
