Toyori

I went here on a Monday night and it was a very pleasant experience. There was no wait in the restaurant but parking was full, I had to circle around a few times. It’s in one of the popular strip centers in Chinatown so parking will always be crazy. The restaurant was very nice and clean. The staff was very professional and prompt. I had a young man but he didn’t give his name and a young lady named Angel(?) I think. I ordered the poplar steak (medium rare) with noodles and vegetables. Everything came out SUPER hot and fresh!! The gravy came ON the steak and not on the side so take note of that. I only had water to drink but they gave me some kind of probiotic drink after dinner. Overall it was a 8/10 experience and I WILL be back!

given that toyori is situated right next to mensho, i feel like people often come in ordering ramen and holding it to the same high standards. to me, that comparison feels a bit unfair. toyori really shines with their sizzling plates, which are clearly their specialty. portions are super generous for the price, and everything feels very affordable. the steak especially is sooo worth it. service was friendly, and we appreciated the small apps and yakult at the end :) the takoyaki was light on the eel sauce and not heavy on the mayo. there was barely any octopus though, which made it a little too doughy, but it was still tasty overall. the ribeye & chicken and the short rib sizzling platters were solid. id heard the meats can be a bit tough, so i asked for them cooked more rare than i usually order, and they came out tender, especially the chicken. the sauce itself was a little bland, though, and we had to add quite a bit of salt. the steak tonkatsu wasn't bad but nothing super memorable. the gyudon was comforting, with lots of fatty brisket marinated in a savory sweet sauce and soft onions. the only downside was that the rice was pretty soaked in oil toward the bottom; it definitely didn't need that much grease. also the miso soup it came with was basically just water... overall, toyori is a good spot if you order the right things, great for a casual, satisfying meal

Good food, affordable prices! Angela was super helpful and gave us lots of recommendations. We got the chicken donburi and the beef rib spicy tonkatsu ramen. The ramen was definitely the star of the show! Chicken was yummy and juicy but was a little less flavorful than I would personally like.

We drove to chinatown with the hopes of finding some good ramen and, let me tell you, we were pleasantly surprised. Hands down, some of the best ramen I had had in a while! My kid agreed too! The ramen broth was soooo tasty! The appetizers were absolutely delicious too. We left completely satisfied and would definitely come back again. Toyori just made the list to a place we will come back again in the future. I highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely loved Toyori Sizzling & Ramen in Chinatown! The food was amazing everything came out fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The sizzling dishes were on point, and the ramen hit the spot. The service really stood out too. Angela was awesome, friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from start to finish. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. Great food, great service, great experience. I’ll definitely be back. Five stars without hesitation. 👌
