TORI TORI

I love their mushrooms and drinks. I usually go during the week, cause it's more of a pub experience during the weekends. Which is cool, but because it's self seating, it can be a challenge to have a late night meal on weekends. But if you just want to hang with a drink def. Go during the weekends. Service is quick and they take allergy cross contamination seriously.

Stop for after dinner drinks and bites.Chicken Wings Yakitori - chicken is very tender but it was a bit on the saltier side, seems to brined too much?Blue Crab & Corn Croquette - it was lukewarm when served, wish it was hot! Mostly potato inside only.Cocktails (Golden Hour, Coconut, something Paw) were all on the sweet side. Soooo sweet.

Okay. I'm gonna start off with the only bad things about this place, I've never been to a establishment who does this but you gotta find your own seat (no hostesses) and if there's not a seat you gotta wait. Then, you order drinks and food from the bar, pay right there then they bring it to you. Luckily I found a spot at the bar, you just gotta get there early is what I recommend. Second - the food is amazing. It can get a little pricy but they have really unique drinks and food. I was in heaven, I wanna come here again. Third, like any place on mills 50, parking isn't great, I luckily found a last second parking spot. The vibe is really good. It's very cool in the restaurant & it does get busy. It's a very hip spot.

Nice vibe (music lights and decor) kind of a lounge vibe, but with foodService was great, food comes out quickly. Drinks all sounded really good, was hard to choose! Grill was "down" when we arrived, only fried food, but, within 10mins,it was up and full menu was available

Sadly, I didn't have the best experience. We walked into a beautifully designed restaurant/bar that was nothing but chaos. A first come first serve, do or die scramble with no guidance or order. Once we got our bearings we realized that everyone was just standing around with their drinks waiting for the potential to maybe get a seat at a table or bar. They do offer food, and they have a drink order window for those unlucky individuals who don't have a seat at the bar. The line took a bit of a wait but once we got to the counter we realized that they have an extensive menu so I'm sure people spent a lot of time thinking. Our drinks were amazing, and poured perfectly. Overall, this was not quite the experience I was hoping for based off all the recommendations. Their cocktails were so good that I could see myself trying this place again, but clearly I need to do a little research on the proper days and times to avoid the chaos we experienced. They don't take reservations so that's an impossible solution.

It's giving.. Barn at the top, Speakeasy on the bottom. And I think I like it!Came in as soon as they opened for Happy Hour and those in line before us meant business! The third group in had their first plates coming out at exactly 5:10. Ten minutes?! Unreal. We took a bit longer to order because we had to spend a moment taking in all of our options and ordering cocktails. But eventually we got together tried a bit of everything!Bartender was named Matt. He was so nice and concocted our delicious drinks! And every plate we ordered was a delectable treat. The lamb lollies, the garlic fried rice (which I totally forgot to take a picture of because I was too busy eating it), the chicken thigh skewers!!Can't wait to come back here.

Tori Tori is a staple bar in the Orlando community! Their food is so amazing and hits every time! My favorite dishes to get are always the blue crab and corn croquettes and chicken karaage. The sauce for the croquettes is such a flavor bomb that you won't even know what hit you. The croquettes themselves are so beautiful and comforting. The karaage is super crispy and I love that they only use dark meat! And the garlic-confit mayo that goes with it is so good! For skewers, the beef and pork belly chimichurri are the best!! I love how thick-cut their pork belly is and the chimichurri sauce pairs so well with it. The beef is so tender and juicy. Their service is always friendly and nice. Would definitely recommend!!

It was my first time at TORI TORI and I had a great time. I just really appreciate that they have gluten-free options from protiens to fried rice to accommodate us with Celiac Disease. The restaurant is cool and it's pretty chic. We were carded when we entered by security. Seats are first come first serve so that kind of tucked because it was busy and cold outside so there were more available seats out there. The craft cocktails were pretty great and I liked the selection. It was easy to find what you want because menus are at every seat (but no pencils). Due to this I lost my expensive pen at the restaurant which I wasn't happy about. Ordering proved to be quite tedious as you have to go to the bar to place orders for food and drinks and on a busy night that can take about 15 to 20 minutes. Once you order the food it comes out as it is ready and there was not a long wait. The Food: they had the best pork belly I have had, it just needed more seasoning. The pork belly had very little fat and a high amount of meat and a great texture.The chicken thigh was amazing. I would have slipped everything I ordered and just had the marinated chicken thigh whixh was gluten-free. Whenever I eat at places like this I can NEVER have anything marinated because the sauces are not GF, but that was not the case here and I appreciated it so much.The scallop crudo was fantastic. I don't care for scallop crudo that much, but it was the true standout dish of the night along with the thighs; I wish I had ordered 2.The Karaage was also delicious (my husband had that).It's a great restaurant and I would highly recommend it.

Probably top places in mills for Asian tapas . This place is always packed no matter what day and it's because the food is amazing . They have Asian style tapas including crab croquettes and the lamb lollipops are extremely tender and flavorful . All cocktails are hand crafted and unique . The inside is gorgeous with a modern style bar in the center . They have outside seating , booth and couch lounge style areas. Amazing place for appetizers and drinks with their sister bar walking distance called the moderne . The quality here never changes the food is always phenomenal with amazing vibes always !

This is without a doubt, one of my top favorite restaurants in Orlando.The food is beyond exceptional, and it greatly makes up for the poor service and atmosphere.The atmosphere is OK, but the real issues that they are blasting music at a volume that is too loud. It is not even easy to converse without resorting to yelling. Luckily, it's a little quieter outside on the patio.The concept is very unique - you order your food at the bar and then go sit down anywhere and have it brought out to you as it is ready. We had an issue where all the bartenders saw us, but kept ignoring us and wouldn't take our order for about 15 minutes.The food though is incredible. I started off with chicken kaarage which is beautifully fried chicken with a delicious mayo dipping sauce. The seasoning is also so tasty!Then, I got a chicken skin skewer with tare (type of marinade). This was my favorite skewer of the night. Really crunchy, has a nice chew, and the char along with the marinade makes for a delicious bite.Next was the quail egg skewers with chili oil on top. I really enjoyed the flavor in this, however, I feel like to be a better way to eat this because as soon as you pick up the skewer, the eggs rotate and dump all the chili oil off. It is a umami bomb of flavor.My other favorite skewer of the night was the chicken thighs. This was so juicy and moist, and again with the tare marinade, it's so delicious!If you enjoy pork belly, this will easily be some of the best pork belly that you will get. You can't go wrong with any of their pork belly options, but we got all of the variety that they had.I also really enjoyed the chicken meatballs. These had a somewhat curry flavor, which reminded me more of Middle Eastern cooking techniques. It was really good, but definitely on the lower end of my ranking. The Gyoza is super juicy while being really crisp on the outside. The presentation is also top-tier. Both the garlic fried rice as well as the crab fried rice are amazing. If you like garlic flavor, these will really hit you.The other last really great dish we had was the red pepper pimento cheese with pork rinds. The pork rinds themselves are good and freshly fried, but the stand out is the cheese itself. The flavor is extremely fresh, cheesy, and somewhat nutty.Overall, this was one of my favorite meals in the city, and while the service is lacking, the quality of the food is incredible and generally impressed me throughout the entire meal.
