Discovered this place through TikTok and obviously had to try since I'm a huge fan of sushi. The conveyer belt was also something new and interesting that I haven't experienced at other sushi restaurants. Came when they were participating in asialicious and got their set which included six different sushi, beef sukiyaki and miso soup. Also got their aburi salmon oshi set to share between two people and that was enough to leave me full after. Overall, a very good meal and all the different sushi tasted so good and fresh. This place is definitely worth a try and worth the hype, would love to come back to try different sushi sets next time! read more

TORA - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Wanted to try this spot because I heard they have conveyor belt style sushi. Typically, Kaitenzushi features affordable and sometimes seasonal dishes that winds through the restaurant and customers pick up whichever plate of sushi they like and final bill is based on color of plates eaten. Not sure if we just came on an off day but only had regular ordering by iPad and food stops in front of our table. The restaurant has a contemporary and stylish look. Service is really good. We were seated immediately. Server was attentive and suggested their popular aburi sushi. Unfortunately the food was a letdown. Besides the few aburi sushi pieces that we enjoyed, everything else was mediocre. The rice was lacking vinegar flavour and brown, which we thought was brown rice at first. It had a weird aftertaste that was overpowering instead of complementing the fish. The pieces of nigiri just falls apart when picked up. Some of the cuts looked careless and lacks any pride. For the pricing, quality doesn't match it. Ok for the semi conveyor belt experience and craving for sushi while shopping. read more

My friends and I decided to try this place on a weekday around 6pm since we're all big sushi fans. They don't allow reservations but you can look at how busy it is on yelp. When we came, there were lots of tables and we were seated immediately. This is my first time trying conveyor belt sushi and the iPad ordering makes it super easy to order or call for assistance. They have individual dishes as well as sets (which I thought was more bang for your buck). I ended up ordering the Yorkdale set, which I thought was decently priced given the amount of food you get. I wouldn't say that this place is a Miku or Minami, but I thought the sushi was still tasty. For dessert, I got the sesame cheesecake and it was heavenly. I absolutely loved the citrus jam on top of it and the biscuit gave it a nice crunch. Overall, a good sushi place with a nice atmosphere and bonus of iPad ordering system. read more

Been here twice since it opened and I would say it's good quality sushi. You need to take an elevator upstairs to the restaurant. They offer fresh sashimi, sushi, and rolls that come out in a conveyor belt manner when you order from their iPad. Came here with my mom and mr. Tran and enjoyed everything that we ordered. There was no fishy taste in the uni as it can be fishy if it's not fresh, but it tasted creamy, buttery with a hint of saltiness from the ocean. The Atlantic salmon sashimi was not your typical salmon sashimi it looked orange and not as fatty, but once you take your first bite, the sashimi just melts in your mouth. We also tried tuna sashimi salad, which was okay, nothing to rave about, and we also got negi-toro gunkan which was delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, but be aware as it can get a bit pricey. read more

We came by to try the conveyor belt sushi but missed the Asialicious promo a few weeks back. It wasn't that busy on a Wednesday night so we got a booth that has the conveyor belt line within 10 minutes. Its definitely not the type of place to expect to get full based on their priceline unless you're willing to splurge and spend $100+ or more. Here was what we ordered: Scallion & Tuna Maki- $7.50 (8x mini pcs) - Its perfect for kids to enjoy but for adults, this seems perfect for small eaters. Its little bite size portion. Scallion & Yellowtail- $5.50 (8x mini pcs) - We prefer this one over the tuna as the taste is more pronounce. Aburi Salmon Toro-$7.50 (2 pcs) - the fish was thin and the rice doesn't seem to hold well together. Aburi Unagi-$6.50 (2 pcs) - Same as above but this one tasted a bit better Spicy Salmon Roll- $4.75 - Forgot how this one tasted tbh Aburi Salmon Oshi Set- $9.50 (4 pcs) - This one probably stood out to taste the best. Its topped off with jalapeno but the blend taste was nice. Caramelized Sweet Potato (Cold Dish- $5.80) - I'd say pass on this one even though we enjoy sweet potato, but its not worth it. Flounder Nigiri- $8 (2 pcs) - Interesting texture and clean. Ebi Fritters- $6.25 (2 pcs) - Decent fried shrimp w/ mayo on the side Aburi Scallop $8.50 (2 pcs) - You can see the grill mark on the scallop sashimi like nigiri. A hint of sweetness. Tuna Fried Katsu $6.25 (1 Pc cut in 3) - Nice crisp and juicy tuna with dip of mayo. Overall this cost about $97 before tips and for 3 ppl definitely not everyone will be full. My wife and I definitely weren't full but maybe her friend. May come back in future to try other things. I can say the ones in Japan we experienced was great b/c everything was like $1 = 100 Yen or so and only certain special ones cost more... Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 read more

Tora is tucked away in the corner of Yorkdale mall in the upstairs unit. There were COVID protocols in place and the staff were pretty friendly. Sadly, the use of packaged ginger (didn't taste great) and utensils didn't add a nice touch to the experience. It was cool to experience a conveyor belt sushi but it is different than the traditional style in Asia. It is delivered by conveyor belt, rather than having the option to pull your dish of choice off the belt. The prices of the sushi are undoubtedly high, but that is to be expected when the location is inside a high-end mall. The salmon aburi was my favourite out of the selection but I wouldn't say Tora is my favourite place to get it. For the experience, I believe it is worthwhile to try once if you're willing to fork over the $$. Though, I don't think I would return again and will stick to my local sushi spots for torched sushi. read more

This has essentially become my go to sushi spot. I always have great experiences at Tora! I've never had an issue with wait times but I've only come here on weekdays, so it's probably more crowded on weekends. I've tried a majority of the items and can attest that everything tastes fresh and yummy! The best part is that you order on an ipad, and all the dishes come on a conveyor belt that stops right in front of your table. You can also call the waiter and request to pay your bill through the ipad as well. So seamless and I leave this place happy and full! read more

I've heard a lot of good things about Tora and I've always wanted to try it as the conveyer belt idea seems so cool! It's hidden by the restauration hardware by the mall and it is located up in a tall building and you would need to ride up the elevator as you head up to the restaurant. One thing to note is that the elevator seems a little lacking in comparison to the restaurant or the mall as it looked really rugged and old. Restaurant: Absolutely beautiful, looks like a really futuristic restaurant. Not many staff members but i guess you dont really need waiters/waitress as the conveyor belt brings everything to the customers. We were greeted by the waiter upon arriving and he checked all our passports and was super nice and brought us to our tables. Another thing to note is that they don't do reservations, so you gotta wait if it's filled. Food: We ordered everything on the menu so i think it's pretty hard to rate them as we did order a lot. A couple of standout ones are the torched salmon, the sea urchin and toro tuna! The ingredients were very fresh especially the sea urchin as it had a sweet taste to it so you could tell it's fresh. The toro tuna was a little expensive (19 dollars per piece) but it's incredible and just melts in your mouth. I would suggest getting the 8 piece toro tuna roll for a cheaper option. The torched salmon were SOO good, I'm obsess with the Smokey taste and the jalapeño really is the cherry on top. However, it's quite spicy if you can't tolerate the jalapeño, there is a non spiced version on the kids menu. Price: It is on the pricier side definitely but you really get what you pay for. The bill came to $270 for 5 people BUT we did order pricer things like toro, uni and various fish. You could definitely make it less pricy if u opted for the rolls! We were really full tho and if you think about it, it comes out to be around 54 dollars per person and it's only around 20 dollars if less more expensive than AYCE but you get way better food and ingredients. I would definitely come back and recommend this restaurant read more

Excellent restaurant and great food. The atmosphere was nice and the conveyer belt that delivers your food was exciting for the kids. read more

Service: I joined the waitlist on Yelp and its estimate was super accurate for a Sunday evening. The food is ordered 4 at a time from an iPad and then it's brought over from a conveyer belt which stops right at your table! Servers can be called from iPad but I never had to since they looked after their tables often. Food: Classic Oshi Trio - All three were all delicious. I liked the sets since I could try one of each and order more of one if I wanted. Aburi Tora Roll - Lots of flavours that blended well together Spicy salmon Roll - I did not like, I thought it was too cucumber-y Chu-Toro Sashimi - Melts in your mouth and not fishy at all - but pricey Black Sesame Cheesecake - Good blend of cheesecake and black sesame flavour. The typical graham cracker base of a cheesecake comes as a pile of crumbs on the side which I felt was a bit unnecessary. Also ordered: Maguro Poke Inari Chopped Scallop Gunkan Kamatama Udon BBQ Eel Nigiri Due to Covid, the wasabi came in packets which was a weird texture. Overall: Food here is a bit pricier per dish for the amount of pieces you get. But honestly AYCE sushi can sometimes come out to a similar price for way lower quality. I think it was worth it and I will definitely be coming back. The service was prompt and the conveyor belt is a fun experience. read more

Very meh. No lasting impression. Arrived at 3:30pm on a Monday as a walk in, no one was at the front desk for a while? Then eventually a server noticed me waiting. I soon realized that once I sat down there was plenty of wait staff and they don't do much of actual waiting on customers besides drinks, bussing and the bill. Where's the hostess? I figured since I came at a low time I'll let that slide. I ordered on the tablet right away with the lunch sushi set special only available Monday to Friday. Seemed like good variety! The food came pretty fast on the conveyer belt and that was pretty cool. Good thing I was paying attention or I wouldn't know to grab my food off the belt myself because I didn't get the speech on how this worked. I did mention before she checked my vaccine status that it was my first time but maybe she forgot? There's no sound or anything from the tablet to order so I wonder if I was looking down at my phone if I would've noticed my food haha. Once I bit into the food it was very basic quality but for the price point I guess that seemed okay?? To be honest I think I've become spoiled with the superb quality of some Toronto sushi places now that this was like rubber. The overall fish cuts seemed a bit sloppy too. The maki had very uneven rice and it was slightly coming apart after a while on my plate. I now wonder because I got the lunch special that they just give the low quality cuts? Should I have ordered separately to get better quality?? Unsure. The miso soup was good and hit the spot. The aburi with the sauces tasted better but I feel like that just masked the fish quality. A weird thing about the COVID life is that they give wasabi and ginger in those plastic packages and I couldn't get the ginger packet open ;( I had to call the server to ask for scissors hahahah. Overall I think the service was fast (once I was seated) and the concept is cool but I do not think I will be returning. Been there, done that! read more

They just opened indoor dining yesterday. Everything was fresh and made well. My favourite at Tora is always the scallop nigiri. Definitely on the more expensive side but it is located at Yorkdale and you're also paying for the experience of having their automatic sliding/serving technology which brings the food straight to you. read more

I loved everything I tried there signature sushi melts in your mouth the wings arrived fresh and hot full of flavor. I would definitely recommend and I will go back. I can get a little pricey The only thing I didn't enjoy was my dessert. I ordered the matcha ice cream but I didn't realize it came wrapped in rice that rice later was grey and chewy and I did not finish it. read more

Ordered take out on the weekend because I was craving some auburi sushi but it takes quite some time! This is a sister store of the famous Miku downtown! It took 1hour and 40mins from ordering to receiving. I got the Take platter with 36 pieces which was nice but only came with a total of 6 pieces of auburi sushi (2xsalmon, 2xebi, and 2xtuna pressed sushi), tons of mini single rolls with a one small piece of salmon or one small piece of tuna, some California rolls, and some nigiri. Although it hit the sushi cravings spot, I don't think the price was worth it. Wish there were more complicated rolls included in the set or more sushi nigiris or more auburi sushi rolls. Prepared to pay for what you get! :) Their auburi rolls are definitely the best so make sure you order those! read more

Went for a date night with bae and we really enjoyed our experience. The servers were super friendly and helpful in explaining items when we had questions. To order your dishes, you pick from a menu on a tablet at the table. Once you've selected your picks, a few minutes later, the dish zips over to you on a conveyor belt. Super cool! The dishes we tried were tasty but my faves were the torched salmon roll and the spicy salmon. If you have a sweet tooth, make sure you try the cheesecake - it was really delicious. read more

Amazing quality of sushi and great customer service. Since it is an a la carte menu, I would say they are on the pricier side of all sushi places especially because they are a sister restaurant of Miku. Can never go wrong with some aburi sushi though read more

Really good experience at TORA - having the food arrive to you on the conveyor belt adds to a fun and unique time. Perhaps it was because it was a Sunday, but be sure to get to TORA around its opening time as the restaurant filled up quite a bit within the first 30 mins. Overall, the sushi was really great. Definitely fill up on the Aburi oshi and not the Mali or nigiri - not because they are bad but because it's not the highlight of TORA. The tuna crudo was really delicious and should definitely be on the list of foods you try. The salmon Aburi oshi was equally delicious. The one menu item I'd say was a miss was the unagi oshi. I'm not sure about the preparation of the eel but, it had a lot of tiny pokey bits in it. I'm not the most experienced in eating unagi but the mouthfeel was generally unpleasant. Lastly, the dessert was good but can definitely be something you don't get. Go for the torch pressed sushi and the fun conveyor belt experience. read more

I've been waiting for the conveyor belt experience in Toronto and this delivered very well! I first tried the conveyor at Japan and it was a very exciting experience for me! We sat down at the end seat of the conveyor so you can definitely see your food . I divided in categories to my review with the ff: Ambiance 5/5- you will feel the exquisite vibe as the seating area is at the 2nd floor which is very unique. There is also a division if you're dining alone or by group. Taste 5/5- the sushi is truly fresh and the mayonnaise toppings is really delicious! I would definitely recommend the aburi chicken-like a teriyaki chicken but it's very tasty and very delicious! Customer Service 5/5- the server is really knowledgeable and the other staff are very friendly and warm To the customers. All in all I would definitely recommend this place and will Bring my dad when he comes for vacation here read more

I saw a sign as I was wandering around Yorkdale tonight-Friday evening. They opened a week and it still at there soft opening phase. As it appears, this is a sister restaurant of Miku from downtown. They have their own elevator and you have to take the elevator to get to the restaurant. There are two conveyor belts, basically after you select from the iPad, the items is delivered via the conveyor belt. The aburi tuna roll was pretty good and the Aburi Oshi. I didn't really like the sashimi, on thinner side and didn't taste too good. My husband was saying the scallop on the sushi didn't taste sweet, flavourless. We ordered the chef order for the sushi, three pieces sushi selected by the chef, ika, salmon and I think the third one was hamachi. It was okay. The issue with this item is that it didn't come, but marked as claimed on the iPad. They followed up and the dish came quickly. However, we were billed for the one that never showed up as well. But they did correct, afterall, it's soft opening. Anyways, pretty good new experience and we don't have the conveyor belt sushi around here. The aburi ginjo, exclusive house brand from yoshi no gawa was pretty smooth and nice. Served chilled. Anyways, I will come back again to give it another try. read more

Great restaurant at Yorkdale. Unfortunately this time the conveyor belt wasn't working so no whimsy in how our food was delivered. The food is fresh and the small plates are great for sharing and trying different items. One of the best menu items is their aburi Tora roll. The servers are friendly and clear the dishes frequently. The restaurant gets busy, so make sure to check the Yelp wait list. read more

The food was very yummy, but the price was OUTRAGEOUS for such teeny tiny portions. I also was forced to wait 2 HOURS before i could even get in the building! The fire alarm was also beeping the entire time driving me absolutely insane! the overall building is very small and teeny tiny just like their portions.

Overall i would recommend someone to go but make sure you sign up for the wait list before you leave your house to avoid the LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG wait. read more

It was ok. The pressed sushi is delicious. Scallops weren't the most fresh. Service and ambiance were pretty good.

The food was pretty good and I would say it's some of the best food I had in a while. Now we got ten items all of them tasted great but the price is high so keep that in mind. When it comes to the service it was good and of course they use a conveyor belt which was coool! Also the ambiance was modern which gave an intimate setting and perfect for dates read more

Baby sibling of Miku, with a conveyor belt to boot! Service: Went on a Saturday night, was quite busy but got seated quickly as they don't take reservations. Servers were extremely friendly and took the time to explain their specialties Food: The aburi oshi pieces were very comparable to the sister restaurant Miku, with the aburi ebi/shrimp oshi being my favourite of the three I tried. The edoprime nigiri pieces were delicious, with most pieces of fish melting in your mouth, and the soft and warm rice compliments it very well. The selection was comparable to restaurants that serve omakase, but at a much lower cost as most nigiri come in sets of two. All of the edoprime pieces are worth trying, especially as it's flown in from Asia. You can tell it's very fresh as there's no fishy odour. Of all the pieces of edoprime I tried, o-toro is definitely a must-try to finish off your meal - it's called the wagyu of the sea for a reason. To top it all off, everything is delivered via conveyor belt! Overall: Great quality sushi on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for. Atmosphere: Very casual vibe good for families and friends, service is very efficient and minimalistic. Tip: Ask for the fresh ginger and wasabi, but don't add soy sauce to the edoprime and aburi pieces (they already have sauces). Enjoy each piece quickly before the rice begins falling apart. Ask for seats/booths near the conveyor belt. read more

Prior to coming to Tora, I was a bit skpetical about the place as their main selling point was delivering food on the conveyor belt. I think it's just another gimmick, as conveyor belt sushi in Toronto and Hong Kong are usually poor to mediocre in quality. However, after learning that they are a sister restaurant of Miku, I wanted to give it a try. I never been to the Miku in Toronto, but I have recently been to the Vancouver location. We got there a little bit before 6pm on a Sautrday as a party of 4 and got the last available table where food is delivered by the conveyor belt. They have a mixture of conveyer belt delivery tables, bar seats and the conventional tables where food is brought to you by a server. I wasn't too hungry, so I didn't try a lot of varieties of dishes. What stood out for me was the kanpachi (amberjack) edoprime nigiri and the brussels sprouts. The amberjack was relatively thickly cut, tender and had a slight "stickiness" to it which indicates freshness. The mediocre dishes includes their famous abruri salmon oishi and crunchy scallop roll. The salmon oishi was lacking in flavour when compared to the one I had in Vancouver. Their signature sauce was milder tasting. I understand that sockeye salmon is leaner than it's Atlantic counterpart, but I think the cut used was very lean. So when it was torched, limited amount of oil seeped into the rice. I was looking forward to try their maguro poke inari as I'm a big fan of soy related product. However, I have to say I was truly disappointed. The maguro was low quality, it had a translucent deep pink colour. The "poke" component was non-existent. I'm actually not sure if they even marinated it at all. The only flavour I can taste was the sweetness from the inari. I give them credit for their innovation, but they really have to work on this dish. Service was very attentive! They gave a detail run down on how things worked, constantly replenished our water and promptly took away the empty dishes. Shout out to the front of house staff! read more

Heard great things behind this place, especially since it's the same people behind Miku, so I had to visit! You're greeted at the door by someone with three tablets. Despite there being empty tables, it takes a little while for them to seat you. You can put your phone number down with your name and they will text you once your table is ready (they hold it for you for 15 minutes). Afterwards, they give you a ticket and you take the elevator upstairs where they seat you. They explain to you how the system works and you're free to go wild after that. Their presentation of the menu is amazing. Each table/seat at the bar area gets their own tablet. You can only order four things at a time (even if it's four of the same items) and the food arrives on a conveyor belt very quickly. Be careful what you order - I wanted to try so many things and the items can add up pretty fast. The presentation of the food itself was very nice. The highlight of my meal is definitely the aburi salmon and the aburi shrimp/ebi. It came very quickly, yet still warm, and was definitely worth the value. The miso spiced ribs were fall-off-the-bone, but there were quite a few tendons in it that made the texture kind of weird. The waitstaff were all very friendly and efficient - they refilled drinks and take away finished plates quickly. 10/10 service! They also recommended Miku and gave you some information about it haha. Final notes - Be aware that this place doesn't take reservations. They're happy to tell you when it's busy and how long the wait typically takes, and you can put your phone number down. TLDR; Amazing food, great service, affordable. Will definitely be coming back to try even more of their menu! read more

Ugh..... it really shouldn't be that hard to make decent nigiri. At first we were excited to find a kaiten sushi style restaurant in Toronto. Only problem is the rice and quality of the fish. It also seems extremely overpriced. The sushi rice here is seasoned very strangely (almost has an extra flavouring and texture is off) Service is ok. Other than that wouldn't come back. read more

This location is "hidden" across from Sporting Life and Restoration Hardware. It's an updated conveyor belt-style sushi restaurant from the owners of Miku. The reception is downstairs and you need to take an elevator to the second level for the restaurant. The kids said that it was like waiting for a ride at Disney World! The plates come zooming on a conveyor belt straight to your table with accuracy! We ordered some favorites that we normally get at Miku like the pressed sushi. I don't eat it so I couldn't tel you how they were but my hubby enjoyed them. I liked the kale gomae. I was pleased to find quite a few vegetarian selections and cooked options since I don't enjoy raw fish. My best find was the inari! I don't know what it is, but the sweet and savory bean curd pocket is so good! I tried the miso tofu inari. There was an avocado nigiri and a grilled eggplant one as well. Both were delicious. The kids loved the avocado rolls and devoured two plates of them. We also ordered a pork gyoza which were pretty standard. The dynamite roll was average with the shrimps being quite tiny and the batter was kind of hard rather than light. Those tiny shrimp usually have an unpleasant flavour compared to the larger ones but the spicy mayo covered that up once I dipped it. For dessert, we are always tempted by anything black sesame and there on the menu was a black sesame cheesecake! It was served with crumbled butter biscuits and yuzu "syrup"? The syrup was like that from those Korean yuzu lemon drink mixes that come from jars. The cheesecake was quite good. We also tried the mango ice cream mochis. They tasted and looked like they came from a box however. We prefer the ones from the Whole Foods down the street. I'm not sure where they source them. We will most likely return as the service was fast (great for the kids) and quite entertaining to watch the food being delivered straight to the tables via conveyor belt. The bill can quickly add up so plan your orders. Dishes we would like to try next time are: ribs and chicken wings. read more

Shopped at yorkdale today and came across with this restaurant, so decided to give a try since this is a sister restaurant with Miku. They have rare fish which you can't find anywhere else, Aburi sushi is good but not as good as Miku in dt, recommend the chef selections for sushi, rolls. Downside: 3-4 sushi rice fell apart, so definitely not done by a prof chef. Best experience is... after you order, the dish will deliver from the conveyer belt (at high speed and stop at your table), will definitely come back if I have time (without kids). Forget to mention, the staff is extremely helpful, they will explain to you how it works once you arrive, always clean the plates, great service! read more

This is one of the hidden gems in terms of sushi places in Toronto. The service and food is exceptional and the sushi is always fresh and tasty. Management here is so friendly and always smiling. We eat here 4-5 times a month and the dishes are always consistent and taste great. If you join the wait list before arriving, it's great as you can walk around Yorkdale until your table is ready. A must try!! read more

I gotta say I'm really disappointed in the food. I've been wanting to try Tora for some time since I love the sister company so much and it was honestly a let down. It was lacking flavour and instead of fresh wasabi, we were served with packaged wasabi and ginger, which I get it - COVID) They tasted horrible. We asked the servers for fresh wasabi and was given fresh wasabi. The service was good but the food was alright. We also ordered a 3 piece scallop roll - which I really looked forward to, but the 3rd piece didn't even have any scallop in it. We were last minute walk ins, had to wait around an hour to get our seats and were seated prior to our expected time frame. read more

Sushi is absolutely spectacular! So fresh, it melts in your mouth. We ordered many types, and the sushi stayed well in the fridge. Tasted so fresh, even the next day!

It's a cool idea to deliver by conveyor belt but the varieties were super limited. Also ordering by iPad only allows four dishes at once. Overall speaking it's quite overpriced. The torched salmon, teriyaki chicken wing and sweet potato fries were surprisingly the best. The worst one that I'd not recommend at all is the wagyu sukiyaki. Not worth it at all and the yolk was overcooked, I was expecting a mini pot to keep it nice and fresh and with good temperature. with the conveyor belt, it does make mistakes as well. One of the dishes were shown to be present but never showed up. So we asked the waitress as well. It is worth trying for the experience but not for the food. Make sure to put in the yelp wait list before going. There isn't a separate list even if you go see the host. The view is nice if you sit by the bar. It's a good place to have chat with friends read more

Amazing food and service. I chose this spot because I heard great things about them from my cousin who loves everything in the menu

Been coming here for a few months now and overall it's a nice experience. The food itself is pretty good (mind you I personally do not eat sushi so this is based off other dishes) We usually go for the gyoza, wings, fries and other menu items. The restaurant itself is very cool with the conveyor belt bringing you your food. Service is good, not to rave about but competent. Food is quite overpriced so keep that in mind when going. Something about this place keeps bringing up back though. Very convenient location in the corner of Yorkdale Mall. Overall pretty great, would recommend read more
