TORIO Japanese Restaurant (Tiong Bahru)

We had a wonderful meal at Torio recently, and I must say their food quality is really top notch!

Their Kiwami Omakase course ($138++ per pax) consists of a variety of cooked dishes, sashimi and sushi. From grilled fish to multiple sashimi courses, we were treated to many exquisite ingredients. I must say many of the courses consist of otoro, but I am totally not complaining as their otoro were so fresh and rich. Food wise I must say we were thoroughly impressed. Do not expect a very posh ambience, but do come down to enjoy good food.

However, there were things we weren't so happy about. They didn't allow us to sit at the counter seats at first as we didn't order the chef omakase sets which were much more expensive, but complied later on as we ordered a more expensive course set and they brought us to a rather quiet corner of the counter. I didn't get why we couldn't sit at the counter, as the seats there were largely available the whole afternoon. Definitely would have spoilt our dining experience if not for the wonderful food they served.

All in all, go for their good food without too much expectations!

You can’t go wrong with fatty tuna and uni! The omakase from @toriosg was pretty worth it in my opinion, as the courses are packed with quite luxurious ingredients.

Opted for the Omakase. I love the freshness of each dish that is being served and how the Chef ensures the freshness of each dish that is being served. But the price is slightly on the pricier side, if you are looking for super fresh sashimi galore, I would recommend this place ◡̈

Part of the $100 Omakase dinner set. This rice bowl is really delicious with a burst of flavour from the ikura with every bite.

Meal is really worth it with all the dishes served.

Sous vide quail egg wrapped with torched beef. This is a vey delicate process. The quail egg is so small and the chef have to peel it off carefully so that it wouldn't break. Chef says he can only do this when its not crowded as it takes up a lot of time. Soooo good. It just melts in your mouth.

Superb worth it. We had like 17 course. A variety of everything. $138/pax. You will have a little extra if you know the chef. Everything is so fresh!
