    Fantastic cocktails and service. Dalton and the team behind the bar are so friendly and all have a passion for craft cocktails. Not sure what to order? Trust them. Tell them what you like or don't like and they will create something (perhaps even off the menu). They do have a happy hour menu as well. Looking forward to visiting again!

    I went to Tori Tori with my friends on a Wednesday night. We purposely went on a Wednesday to avoid a wait and any issues with parking. The parking situation is not great. It's a small lot and you do have to pay to park however, Tori Tori will validate parking for a few hours, which is nice. Because it was a Wednesday we were lucky enough to find a booth with a large table. Tori Tori is an interesting concept because you seat yourself, you order yourself and you get drinks yourself. They do have a wait staff that brings food to your table, but everything is self serve. You have to go up to the bar to order anything you want and get the check. All of the food is tapas style. We ordered quite a bit, including chicken meatballs, garlic fried rice, avocado, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, Korean fried chicken and the Wagyu dumplings. The standouts were the mushrooms and the brussel sprouts both of which were very savory and the brussel sprouts also had a little bit of sweetness. Overall, the food is good, but for a Michelin restaurant, I was pretty disappointed. I don't think it lives up to the hype. The food is just okay and personally, I think there's better tapas in Orlando, such as Bulla.

    A very very popular bar in the small neighborhood block that has a lot of solid Asian food options. We went around 8:30pm and you have to be 21+ after 9pm - no problem we are 21+, but on a Friday, despite that, there was a queue to even get in. It was about 15 minute wait to ID check, and then it is an open seating format with booths being in super high demand (we didn't bother - we saw multiple parties just asking people who are almost done to claim one booth at a time - wouldn't be the vibe to feel rushed and looked at constantly the duration of our visit) - so we just grabbed some seats at the bar which is a lot more relaxing and I can see the bartenders do their craft. There was ample space for the 3 of us and the drinks come out decently fast despite being so slammed. We tried a variety of cocktails - Under the Sun - very fragrant ube - if you love ube, definitely recommend - Coconut Shinobi - mostly very strong, but not super impressed as it's basically a pineapple tiki drink - Golden Hour - quite unique - apparent sesame flavor but very easy to drink - Ichigo Ichie - feels more like a gin and tonic but with a slight spicy kick - São Paulo - apparent pandan flavor and well balanced We also got crab fried rice which is fantastic - a bit on the salty side but super umami Service is good even without factoring in how slammed the bar was. I appreciated the timeliness and dedication to filling water and checking up on us at times during our 2 hr stay. This is a fantastic cocktail bar that has both amazing Asian fusion cocktails and food. I'd recommend going earlier than later since the line can be quite long. My friend showed up later around 9:30pm and had to wait 30 minutes as the seating is completely full and they cannot accommodate skipping the line if another group has open seats for them. When we left at 10:30, the line was much longer than when my friend arrived so it could look like a 1+ hour queue just to get in.

    I've been wanting to try Tori Tori for a while, and it did not disappoint. It's always packed, but once you understand the concept, it's actually part of the experience...no hostess, you just grab a seat if one opens up, which gives it a really cool, laid back lounge vibe. The space is perfect whether you're going for drinks or a full bite. Everything we tried was honestly amazing. The wagyu gyoza were the best I've ever had, and the lamb was super flavorful. The crispy chicken was also a standout; so good. Drinks were just as impressive. I had the floral cocktail and it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. No complaints at all, great energy, great food, great drinks. Definitely worth the wait.

    Crab fried rice
    Valarie E.

    Tori Tori has been on my list to try out for a very long time. Parking can be daunting but they do offer validation. You get a slip of paper and write your order down, give it to the bar and get your big # and have a seat. The ambiance is lively. I went on Friday night so it was pretty loud and packed with people. But I was determined to eat some great food. I ordered the Crab Fried Rice, Lamb Chops and a Coke. The Crab rice came first and it was so flavorful. The rice was perfectly cooked and the balance of flavors so satisfying. The lamb came a bit later and it was grilled. The flavors you get from Japanese grilling are so alive, combined with the juice medium rare lamb chops, dredged in the yogurt sauce, micro greens, grape tomatoes and cucumber. It's one of those items you eat and it leaves an indelible mark on you. I decided right then, when I want lamb, this is where I'll go. The staff was helpful and they were so busy! Dalton and Chase both helped me and made my experience great. I'll definitely be back soon. Another amazing chapter in the Domu Dynasty!

    TORI TORI didn't live up to the hype for me. It's a super trendy place, not conducive to conversation due to loudness inside. More of a happy hour hangout more than anything else. I went with my family on a Thursday night to celebrate my birthday. I saw the restaurant featured on "Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman", which piqued my interest. None of the food wowed me, though. My family agreed. We've been to Japan and the fare here doesn't hold a candle, not to sound pompous :/ The seafood tower is absolutely not worth $70. My favorite thing from it was the fresh chips and dip. Although the shrimp were a good size, as a whole none of it was special. As for other items, a favorite for my daughter was the Flamin' Hot Corn. I knew what to expect for the ordering process. It was easy enough to approach the bar and do so. Items came out in reasonable timing. The staff circulating is great about bussing the table. Good luck reading that small print menu, though. The soft lighting doesn't help either.

    Tori Tori is such a vibe from the moment you walk up. The ambience is moody in the best way, intimate without feeling cramped, and perfect for everything from date night to catching up with friends over cocktails. The food absolutely delivers. Every dish feels intentional and beautifully plated. The yakitori is flavorful and cooked perfectly with that slight char that makes each bite addictive. The small plates like the lamb chops and crab fried rice are perfect for sharing so you can try a little bit of everything. Even the cocktails are crafted like art, creative but not overpowering, and they pair so well with the menu. The service truly elevates the experience. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Tori Tori is more than just dinner, it is an experience. They earned every single Michelin star. I will absolutely be back!

    Awesome spot for a night out with friends. Strong drinks, great service at the bar as well. Loved all the skewers we got, especially the curry chicken and steak. Fun ambiance, would be an awesome spot for a second or third date

    Buffet set up grand opening day

    I always enjoy the drinks , food and ambience of Tori Tori. I enjoy their HH and I also love popping in for a nice date night. Most recently I enjoyed my favorite drink the (COCONUT SHINOBI†) it's a limit of 2 for this drink and one of these is enough & gets me in a very good mood! The service here is a shared responsibility you have to go to the bar and place an order & if you want to keep your tab open just let them know. The food is tapa style and comes out quickly and if you can get the attention of the bartender you grab your drinks while you're dropping off your paper for your food order . I ordered the fried chicken and my favorite is def the beef steak. We also ordered the BLUE CRAB & CORN CROQUETTES, crab rice, FLAMIN' HOT CORN, & pork rinds with pimento cheese. Overall we had a great night . We paid for parking and once inside they have a QR code you can scan to validate parking for 4 hours , but unfortunately it wouldn't update for me so you may want to scan before you pay.

    Tried this place during happy hour on a Wednesday. It was packed but was able to get a table quickly. The overall atmosphere was cool. Laid back and you could see the chefs cooking in the kitchen. We got some drinks that were decent and tried a few of the food options. The wagyu beef gyozo was the best thing I tasted and highly recommend.

    Tori Tori is one of my favorite places to visit when I need a really good drink and food to eat. The place looks amazing and the service here is outstanding. The bartenders and servers are very kind. Never disappoints! Definitely recommend this spot for happy hour, date night etc.

    Came here to catch up with some friends on a weekday and it was the perfect setting, intimate seating areas and yummy food! The crab fried rice was sooo good, and the karaage was crispy and fresh. The drinks were a bit on the stronger side, but I recommend the coconut shinobi.

    Crab dip
    Michelle M.

    Had a great visit to this trendy Japanese restaurant. The place was jam packed on a Saturday night so I knew the food would be good. The crab fried rice is fabulous. The crab dip is delicious. Everything we ate was outstanding. They also have great specialty cocktails. I highly recommend this spot and will return.

There's a giant ice cube and a bamboo leaf or something and very little drink to drink. Not sure what to make of this because as soon as I was deciding if I liked it or not, it was gone. Wouldn't order this again. Second, I tried a $17 Adam & Eve. I wish the matcha was much stronger. There's a place in Tampa called Tori Bar that has a super duper matcha tasting cocktail. This one was much lighter. It was fine, not my favorite. Maybe I'd bring a date here sometime, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

The crème brûlée was so amazing! The chocolate espresso beans were 10/10. I ALMOST tipped them 50% of my bill! So as a server, thankfully I caught this. In the very back of their menu, it says an automatic 20% gratuity is applied to every check, which is kinda crazy to be honest. I was already going to tip him 30%. So it would have been 20% and 30% tip. So be very aware that they're already applying the tip to everyone's bill and it was just me, one person! I would definitely come back here but just keep in mind their kitchen isn't always open, parking can be hard to find at times, and the auto gratuity.

    Maybe this place is simply for younger, cooler, hotter people than me. Entirely possible. But I…read morelive in San Francisco, spend time around DJs and nightlife, and am not generally afraid of a loud room. I just apparently still believe that when oysters and $47 pasta appear on a menu, one should be able to hear the person sitting across the table. To be fair, the service throughout the evening was excellent and attentive, and the bourbon drinks ("Filthy Behavior") were genuinely good. We also ordered the croquettes, Caesar salad bites, 12 oysters, the spicy rigatoni with lump crab, golden rice with shrimp, and a discounted prosecco because it was oyster/prosecco Tuesday. The pasta itself was cooked properly, and the golden rice ended up being the least salty thing we ate, which unfortunately made it the standout. Everything else tasted as though the kitchen had recently suffered a tragic misunderstanding involving seawater. At one point we asked if the music was usually this loud because we genuinely couldn't hear each other speak. Our server kindly said she would check on it, but either management said no or the DJ entered a blood oath with the sound system. Conversation had become theoretical. Maybe this is the vibe now. Maybe dining is no longer about the food and meaningful conversation, with lighting so oddly bright--less intimate dinner, more "the club is closing, please locate your belongings"--while paying $220 for two people with automatic gratuity included. For me, the whole experience felt wildly overpriced--ordinary food dressed in extraordinary.
