Torino Ramen

We hosted our school's Science Olympiad team dinner here and our junior high students and parents had a wonderful time. Great food and the restaurant worked with us for the private event with a fixed menu, pre-order menu. They were able to accommodate the food and influx of people (40+). Highly recommend!

I've heard great things and finally made it! The food was great. The ramen was delicious and the perfect sized bowl. The fire dragon roll was really hot so I'm glad I like spicy! Everything tasted super fresh. The agedashi tofu could have been a little warmer. We sat on the side with the bar which was fine, next time I'd like to sit on the other side. It's family friendly and a fun date night without being too stuffy. The bathroom was very clean which I think is notable! Will definitely be back for another date night soon.

Giving this place a 4, the place is decently nice. Service was fast. Food came out really quick. I will say we came on a Saturday night we knew places would be packed, but they made it work. Seat placement of the high top table being right by the door in the corner. Really liked them accommodating us.Now the knock down of one star. I will admit food was average. We have had better ramen and sushi just being around Asian food all the time. But I wouldn't worry too much as this place still hits the spot if you're in the area!

We decided to visit this restaurant Friday night with a good friend and the food was pretty decent. The service was excellent and the ambiance was pretty pleasant. Special thank you to our waitress she was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about what was good there. One of my favorite things was their chicken karaage and I thought the spicy tuna was delicious as well. The ramen broth was not hot enough and I guess that's because some customers prefer their broth warm but not everyone. I prefer my broth hot when comes to ramen and that was my only issue. Ramen should be served with hot broth not with warm broth in my opinion (hint: maybe ask how would you like your broth to the customers) but it's all good, leaving for Japan soon so I will definitely make up for it there. In all it was a good experience and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.

Great menu, nice bartenders and master chef Hayashi make a great establishment. Disclosure: my wife works in the kitchen.

The food was absolutely delectable. The service was amazing. The vibe of the restaurant is relaxing. And we got limited edition stickers that we all loved. Thank you Parker!

The ramen was good but it left something to be desired. I was honestly shocked because I've been here twice before and the ramen was exceptional. Service was standard but quick. The restaurant is in a great location and has a pleasant interior.

I have been here several times for lunch and once for dinner and can't believe that I haven't reviewed it until now. Outstanding.The ramen trend took off in the city a while ago, and it's been difficult (in my experience) to find good ramen outside of downtown Chicago or New York.Torino is the solution. I have tried several of their varieties (with a favorite being the spicy version) and recommend them VERY highly.There is also a sushi menu; my lunch guest today had a roll and gave it two thumbs up. For a change of pace, I had their Torino Poke Bowl with octopus and a sriracha aiolo and really enjoyed it. Seaweed salad that I had to start was delightful.Attentive service and a nice but not too buzzy atmosphere. I've been back several times and already made another reservation for a lunch meeting in a couple of weeks. Recommend highly.

I love this place. A locally owned Japanese place that specializes in Ramen, sushi and rice bowls. I have eaten in twice and the food and service are great. I did order take out and my order was actually wrong, but they were kind enough to fix it and offer a discount. I have tried the Torino ramen, the karegge bowl, and the korroke bao puns. I love the bao buns! I could snack on those all day. I highly recommend this place. Its a quick place to grab lunch or dinner and in a cute downtown area.

I like Torino. The food is good, the ambiance and decor are fine. The location is strong. The service is fast and reasonably friendly. But two things stand out as problematic, hence the three stars. First, it's noisy. If you are looking for conversation over your dinner, this might prove difficult. The restaurant is not large, and tables are close to one another. If it's full, or close to full, between the music and the conversation of others, it is hard to hear your companions. Next, it's not cheap and they do hustle their diners out when 9pm arrives. With us, it was in advance of 9pm. And some of the wait staff keep a tight eye on diners as 9pm approaches, such that there is no mistake about closing time!This is an issue at all restaurants--how to handle closing time. It's a fine line; one wants customers to feel welcome and to enjoy their meals, but the doors must shut eventually. How to balance the two needs? I've been in many restaurants in my life, and have found that most find ways to gracefully handle 'quitting time'. We called Torino and asked, specifically, not when do you close, but when do you stop serving? The answer was 8:45pm. We arrived at around 8:25pm, eager for a casual and quick dinner, thinking that if they were still taking orders at 8:45pm that we had plenty of time to enjoy a meal. We were wrong! We had about 20 minutes to consume a meal that came to over $50. Then, at that point, I noticed our waiter glancing over at me repeatedly, pointedly wanting us to finish and to ask for the check. It was still not even 9pm. On a Saturday night. We became uncomfortable, asked for a container to bring food home in, finished our meal, and left. As we left, the restaurant turned its lights off. It was just 9pm. I'll be honest, I left feeling a bit taken. To me, a meal for $50 is not a small thing. But ultimately it's not just the money that's at issue; it's the sense of being given a bum's rush in a restaurant that one came to prepared to enjoy and like. All good restaurants, from corner diners to stellar eateries, must figure out how to handle this issue. No wait staff should be allowed to keep glancing over at diners, particularly if closing time has not been reached, and if the order was placed within the given time. More importantly, no orders should be taken for sit-down dining if there is not ample time within which to enjoy the meal. If last call for food is 8:45pm, then any diner who orders at that time, or earlier, as we did, should be given a reasonable amount of time to enjoy their meal. Most restaurants will simply not allow in new customers past a certain time. But they do not take orders, bill for them, and then hustle clientele still eating out before they have finished!
