On a recommendation of a friend, a group of us decided to go to Tori Sake & Grill for dinner. I…read moredidn't know this restaurant existed in Burien. We did 'family style' and ordered chicken karaage, gyoza, yakisoba and many sushi rolls to share among us. Lots of sushi choices. The food was amazing! Service was great. The atmosphere was chill. Music was playing but it was not so loud that you couldn't hear each other talk. We definitely would go back.

Glad we started WITH a reservation for this very first visit, as there was a significant stack of…read morewaiting customers outside the door, on a Saturday night at 6pm. The table wait was minimal and totally acceptable. The room was simple (a good thing), and the restaurant's popularity made for a busy but relaxed atmosphere. Our greeter/server was efficient and polite. The sushi was surprising good! Perfectly cooked sushi-rice, and well proportioned topping of fish and other ingredients made for enjoyable bites. The sushi chefs are well trained and talented. Definitely recommend sampling their selections of sushi. You won't be disappointed. Five stars for this. Now for the grill part. Yakisoba is usually a grill item, as it's a stir-fried noodle dish, with it's distinctive Japanese flavor profile, and ingredients. Unfortunately, this was a miss. Though the soy-sauce coloring was correct, the flavor profile was not. The amount of beef in it was acceptable, but the other components were a miss. The only vegetable component was shaved-like slices of small zucchini which I could count with one hand. That seemed to treated more like a garnish, than a component of the dish. Had the grill-cook finished it with a drizzle of tonkatsu-sauce, it would've been closer to what was suggested on the menu. They should rename it "pan-fried beef-noodles" instead. Sure wasn't Beef Yakisoba. Other than that, table-side service was excellent, and the sushi was first rate. Just not the "yakisoba", cuz it wasn't. I will upgrade and edit this review if a few things are fixed.

Tonight, my partner's Chirashi bowl arrived promptly, but I waited nearly 30 minutes for three basic rolls, despite the restaurant being nearly empty (only two other tables). The most concerning part, however, was the food quality. I ordered three rolls--none of which were meant to be spicy. As a native New Mexican, I have a high spice tolerance, but two of these rolls were "stupid spicy" to the point of being inedible. Having had these exact rolls here before, it was clear the spice level was intentionally altered after I inquired about the long delay. The waitress was pleasant and offered to comp a roll, but the issue isn't the money--it's the lack of professionalism from the chef. Tampering with a customer's food because they asked for an ETA is unacceptable. We will not be returning.

We got a table almost immediately, as we did get there relatively early around 11:30 AM. The place was already somewhat busy, but there were a number of available tables.

All in all it was a great lunch, with a nice active lunch scene and busy vibe. Thank you

We've been wanting to try this spot for a while every time we drive by, it's packed, which usually…read moresays a lot. Finally made it in, and overall, it was a mixed experience. Started off strong with the uni shot, which was really good, and the sashimi fresh, clean, and exactly what you want from a sushi spot. We also ordered the mushroom and pumpkin salad with spinach, which tasted great, but at $20, it felt a bit overpriced for what it was. The rolls, unfortunately, didn't live up to how they looked. Presentation was definitely there, but the flavor just didn't hit. On top of that, they were falling apart pretty easily when picked up with chopsticks, which made them a little frustrating to eat. Service was solid overall staff was attentive despite how busy it was but they did miss our hamachi kama, which was a bit of a letdown. A couple things to note: this place is cash only, and it gets very busy, so expect a bit of a wait. That said, the vibe is nice, and the design of the space is something I actually liked. Would I come back? Probably for sashimi and appetizers but I might skip the rolls next time.

The menu is large but the teriyaki part is pretty simple. I got shrimp teriyaki while my friend got spicy chicken teriyaki with veggie fried rice. We got gyoza to share too. We could have split one chicken teriyaki and had leftovers! I had no idea how much food was included! For $17, it's a great deal, especially considering food everywhere seems so expensive these days. The shrimp teriyaki included 10 large pieces, which again I thought was really generous. The portions were large but it was also delicious. I preferred the shrimp teriyaki. It was sweeter than the spicy chicken and the shrimp was delicious. The spicy chicken teriyaki was still so good! The highlight was actually the gyoza. They were light and not too greasy, meaning I ate way too many! I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular for me! But I'm glad I got a great recommendation for a great meal.

However, expect slow or inconsistent service and just an okay environment. //CONTEXT// Came here on a Friday evening as a party of two. Found a seat immediately //ENVIRONMENT// Honestly the environment felt a bit sad. There was no music, it was super quiet and just not a typical restaurant environment. Even when I ordered I went up and had to write down my order on their receipt lol. //SERVICE// The service was really slow. I understand that rolls take a while to make and they have a lot of takeout orders but I would hope they'd improve based on what they're seeing. Here are some examples: - When we got there, there was another couple who already ordered and was waiting for their food. Three other parties came in and we all got their food before them. This couple never got their food, had to check and then waited more and then just left. We were there for 45 mins before we got there so they were waiting even longer. - Another party got their food before we did and we ordered before them. Also it was interesting in that this person got their order placed with the owner but we had to write our order down - As mentioned it took us about 45 minutes for 3 rolls. I thought this was kind of long. //FOOD// Food was amazing! If you can get past the wait the rolls are so good! They're fresh, tasty and not too large or too small! I got the Akron, Newport, and the Juneau! These were all so good! The tempura and fried soft shell crab was perfectly crispy and not soggy at all. The fish tasted so fresh! The Newport did lack a bit of ponzu. Aside from that these were great rolls Overall, the rolls were good but the service and wait does make me hesitant to come back.

The broth is consistently rich and flavorful, hitting that perfect balance you look for in a classic ramen spot. The Spicy Tan Tan is a standout if you want something with a bit of a kick it's savory, nutty, and has just the right amount of heat to make it satisfying without being overwhelming. On my last visit, I had the Arashi Ramen which was equally impressive; the flavors are deep and well-developed, showing a lot of care in the preparation. The best part about this place is the consistency. Whether you're looking for something spicy or a more traditional pork-based broth, you really can't go wrong with any ramen on the menu here. It's a reliable, no fuss spot that delivers exactly what you want when a ramen craving hits.

Overall: 8.5/10…read more Food: 8/10 I got the #5 Creamy Broth which was a creamy chicken broth topped with juicy pork chashu and a flavorful seasoned egg topped with free self serve tempura flakes, green onion, and ginger. I asked for a spice ball for the soup on the side. The soup was rich and creamy as the name suggested. The pork chashu was average at best. It lacked flavor and color. The noodles were thick and al dente and absorbed the broth very well. I would not recommend mixing the tempura flakes into the broth as it makes them soggy and they no longer have the crunchy texture to contrast the noodles. For tempura I got a steamed egg tempura, shrimp tempura, and potato tempura. The egg tempura definitely reined supreme. Would heavily recommend a tempura sauce which they happened to run out with today. The vegetable tempuras were all bland. Would not recommend. If you do get the tempuras, eat them before the main dish so the richness of the main dish doesn't ruin the delicate flavor of the tempura. Atmosphere: 9/10 Tables were cleaned and bussed regularly. There were plenty of tables where we didn't really have to wait after getting our food. The tables were kinda close to each other and the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night at 7 pm. It was very loud and we could not hear the music in the background and had to speak up when talking to each other. Service: 9/10 Self service similar to chipotle where you order at the counter and they make it in front of you and all the individual components of each dish are premade. Unlike chipotle, once they give you the main dish in a tray, there is a self serve Tempura bar where you pay by piece.

Been going here for several years now - poke has always been solid and the Hawaiian dishes were good not great. But today it was all different - everything was outstanding! Wife got a 2 salmon scoop poke : fish was great as always, but the seasoned potatoes (gamja jorim) she chose as 1 of 3 sides was very good. Dad had the hwae-dupbap (think of it as Korean bibimbap but with poke instead of meat) and the Cho-gochujang sauce was excellent. I had the loco moco and it was better than in the past. Also the banchan with that were fire (seasoned japchae noodles, spicy shredded radish) both better than in the past They sell most of the side dishes as banchan and as a Korean I fully endorse them. I am a huge Korean banchan snob and I will absolutely countersign their cooking I don't know what's going on but like I said - everything tastes better than before.
