We finally got to try Toraya for lunch when we had the day off. Appetizer -Tempura: light and airy fry the shrimp and veggies. Great tempura if you are craving tempura -Tofu and Yasai Agedashi: deep fried tofu and vegetables in a light broth. The fry is light and airy and the tofu is silky and soft. Very tasty Entrees -Sushi lunch: 7 nigiri and 1 maki roll and miso soup. The sushi was super fresh and delicious. -Sake ikura don: salmon salmon salmon and roe over rice. Super fresh and delicious as well. They do have a takeout menu so I hope to try it out!

A bit disappointed in them being out of two staple items on a Saturday, when the place was pretty empty. Oh well. Not bad. Not great. Only ordered sushi. Seems like we should have ordered some cooked dishes. I regret not trying a Chinese dish. As far as sushi goes, this wouldn't be my go to, with some awesome choices very close by. Service was OK. They decided to give us wine that had been opened at least the day before, if not longer. We sent it back. At least they acknowledged it was opened previously. The interior is dated.

This causes the fish to lose some of its pristine texture and moisture and become slightly mealy or mushy (the exception being the fattier fish such as the sanma). I found this distracting and felt it detracted from the overall experience. The sujiko and wagyu were highlights.

My daughter got tofu lo mein with vegetables, and my son got the beef bibimbap. There is also a sushi menu, but none of us tried it. I'd say it's good for Asian fusion. We will probably order again soon because we are often craving multiple cuisines and Ginger exchange offers that. Possibly the best part is that the portions were large enough that we had leftovers for dinner tonight!
