What’s Their Story?
Torasho leans into playful, chef-driven Japanese cooking: think ramen mastery on one side and a charcoal grill on the other. The team riffs on favourites from around Asia—then turns the dial up with luxe touches (uni, A5 wagyu, foie gras) and house condiments. The flagship sits along Tras Street; there’s also a ramen bar counter at Takashimaya’s Food Hall for no-fuss slurping.
Why You’ll Love It Here
Patrons shout out big flavours (umami-rich broths, smoky grills), generous sharing menus, and a lively soundtrack that works for both date nights and group hangs. Night owls especially love the late-night ramen on Fridays and Saturdays—rare in the area. If you like to graze, the izakaya side offers plenty of small plates to mix with your noodles.
What’s on the Menu?
A lot—nicely organised:
-
Ramen: Tonkotsu (classic, truffle, or spicy), Tsukemen with rich seafood-tonkotsu dip, “Stupid Ramen” (premium cold seafood version), and dry ramen like Truffle Wagyu or “Torasho Pork Bak Chor Mee”
-
Izakaya bites: Torasho Gyoza, Uni Pillow (nori tempura + truffle kombu), Wagyu Fat Corn, Yazawa beef tacos, Lobster cream croquettes, Shio-koji fried chicken, Mapo tofu in a sizzling pan
-
Charcoal grill: Miyazaki short ribs, black cod, big hokke fish, skewers (pork, chicken, veg)
-
Donabe (claypot rice): Combos with wagyu toro, unagi, foie gras, ikura/kani—cooked to order
-
Desserts & Drinks: Basque burnt cheesecakes, Hokkaido soft-serve, highballs (by the glass or towers), chu-hi, cocktails (Yuzu Margarita, Torasho Old-Fashioned), Japanese beers, sakes, and cold-brewed teas
Our Recommendations
-
First-timers: Tsukemen (add onsen egg) or Truffle Tonkotsu if you want soup—deep, satisfying, not heavy.
-
Shareables: Torasho Gyoza (must-order), Wagyu Fat Corn, and Uni Pillow for a little drama.
-
Something special: A Donabe to share—try Aburi Wagyu Toro & Onsen Egg or Ikura & Kani. Plan ~30 minutes cook time.
-
Sip: Start light with a Kaku Highball (or split a tower if you’re in a group). Sake flight if you’re staying a while.
