restaurant tora

simply fantastic. my wife and i are real foodies, and this place never disappoints. everyone who works there is a pleasure to interact with. we have done several omakases at kihachi (columbus monthly 5 star) and i think tora may be the young challenger for topasianrestaurant (kihachi is strictly japanese - tora has a more diverse menu) in columbus. executive chief scott is gifted in his presentation and knife skills. to all my fellow slow food columbus foodies... make the trip to morse and hamilton. tonight the gratis amuse bouche (can you really use that phrase at anasianrestaurant?) was grilled gooey duck (insanely good), seaweed salad, and baby octopus. would have been a $15 order anywhere else. scott has indicated he can put together an omakase if you desire. i cannot be strong enough in my praise. quickly becoming a family favorite.

tora is a great find!. this restaurant seems out of the way but it was very worth it. i had enjoyed restaurant hama in easton before it closed and i couldn't find another comparableasiancuisine inspired restaurant. i even triedasiangourmet. the prices may be a little high but the quality of food made up for it. i had the crabcake appetizer, and seafood hibachi box. i recommend boxes for lunch and anyone who wants to try a few things because it comes with a few types of salad, rice, califonia roll, and 3 pieces of sashimi (a piece of fish on a pad of rice)
my friend had the seafood bi bim bap which i personally prefer bulgolgi but what she had was good too.
if you are new to sushi, try a specialty cooked roll.

tora's in gahanna. i ate at tora's for the first time today. i found the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable. i was there for lunch and decided to order one of the lunch boxes. this gave me a variety. it was excellent!! highly recommend the
red bean ice cream for desert, i am an amatuer atasiancrusine, but the staff made me feel welcome and
was able to assist me on my menu choice.

sushi was good. i was here with a friend and we only ordered sushi and sashimi. the presentation was very good and it was fresh. if you live in the area i would switch to here from mr. sushi andasiangourmet.

the interior is nicely done and the staff were friendly and helpful.
