Torafuku Vancouver Reviews from The Last Year
Had some very high expectations for this place especially
Had some very high expectations for this place especially with a Michelin guide rating and rave reviews. I'll let you know why I had my pros and cons despite all the hype surrounding this eatery'. First off not a pro or con but this place is located in a pretty inconspicuous building that seemed unoccupied just outside the main corridor of Vancouver's Chinatown and had to circle the block twice to find it. I like the vibe of the neighborhood and feel this eatery could bring in more establishments to a once unwanted area. Upon walking in you'll see a modern open space dining area with a large communal table and bench seating with tables large enough for four to six people. The open aired kitchen is lined with bar style seating and tables for two lining the wall on the side of the kitchen. After seeing my fav YouTuber rave about the beef noodle soup, I had my heart set on that and put this place down on our must go to list, only to find out from our server that it was served for lunch only:( After an initial disappointment I looked over the dinner menu closer and felt I could find an alternative:) Since our reservation was at 4:45pm and we didn't know dinner wasn't served until 5pm our server did let us know that happy hour was still on with discounts on cocktails and certain appetizers. Topping the cocktail list was the Torafuku sour which was made with olong tea infused Canadian Club rye, elderflower syrup, lemon, yuzu juice, and topped with egg white. We had three appetizers and what stood out to us was the Brussels sprout salad that came out on a pretty dish and consisted of roasted cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprout, chickpea, roasted soy bean and a black vinegar type dressing. Another good appetizer to try is the chicken wings with General Tao's sauce. For entrees we had 2x the black cod which resembled a ciopino with a chowder like broth and had shrimp that were nicely cooked as was the grilled black cod. I'm not a fan of miso cod but this one had a light flavor that did t overtake the fish. Our friend commented that the broth tasted like chicken noodle soup but we all agreed it didn't so you be the judge. I really liked the overall ambiance of the place! Now for the not so perfect four star rating I do have to say the service was not on par and we seemed to be ignored in large part by our server especially as they got busy even though we could see him just standing by the kitchen. Since our backs were to where the servers stood I overheard two of them say one party was complaining because they had t even ordered after waiting for 45 minutes. As for the other dishes the kanpachi crudo was meh and the slices of fish were way too thick and you could hardly taste the ginger soy dressing. As for the main courses the NY strip sirloin with chimichuri sauce they didn't ask our friend how she'd like it prepared and it came out cooked medium with the meat being a bit tough and chewy. The roasted dried aged duck paired with an asian pear arugula salad and tamari sauce was OK but was a bit on the dry side. I felt there could be some improvements made to the overall experience. Despite the downers, I'd like to go back and try lunch especially for the beef noodle soup I really looked forward too but never got so we'll see...
Went to try the DOV menu.
Food: Kale salad - pretty good. Just your regular salad 7/10 Eggplant - had a miso dressing, could use some crunch cause the eggplant was good but it was very mushy but flavours were good 7/10 Chicken wings - really good flavour and crispy wings. I think it was a lemongrass sauce on the outside 9/10 Fish (sea bass I think, with side of butter rice) - least of my fave dishes. Fish was very mushy alongside the vegis that were all very overcooked in a broth. side of rice was okay 5/10. We did not finish Dessert - panna cotta - blueberry compote, tasted like rice barley in a way? Found this so refreshing and delish. Probably my fave panna cotta 10/10 Service: friendly but we sat at the bar and we still had to waive bartender down for another drink. Atmosphere/vibe: it was very bright and looked like an unfinished restaurant with some walls unfinished and completely white walls. Unless that was the look and design they were going for. No air flow and very warm. We saw a few people just sweating and fanning themselves. For a Michelin guide restaurant and glowing reviews, I think we just went in with higher expectations. Maybe it was an off night? Not sure if I would be going back.
Blown away by the beef noodle soup where I was able to
Blown away by the beef noodle soup where I was able to smell the fragrant broth and the beef shank fell apart when I picked it up. The house made noodles is a little chewy which hang on well with the soup. Shout out to Miguel where he explained why the food is so special because they use very fresh ingredients! The Finger Lickin' Chicken is SO good with thin breading and juicy meat. The Basque cheesecake is gooey and the blueberry compote took it to the next level! The place is a bit dark but spacious for parties of any sizes. I wish it's easier to find parking.
finally got to try this michelin recommended, asian fusion
finally got to try this michelin recommended, asian fusion restaurant located at 958 main street, in a sketchy part of town. we managed to get 2 hour parking on the side, by the ivanhoe, as parking on main street wasn't available at 4:00 pm. we were a party of three, had made resos through open table and arrived around 4:00 pm on a wednesday. we were the only diners at this time, and it was nice that we were able to catch up and carry on a conversation without straining our ears and having to shout. torafuku is spacious with a long communal table, standard table seating and an open kitchen concept. the servers were pleasant, accommodating and made great recommendations. they were out of their matcha tea for the matcha madness cocktail, so i had the emarosa and then the yuzu lov. we started off with sharing the following happy hour items: brussel sprout salad, cauliflower, broccoli, brussel sprout, black vinegar, chickpea, roasted soy bean, the caramelization of the vegetables were so good and the texture of the chickpea was powdery once you took a bite into it. kanpachi crudo, ginger white soy dressing, this was a delicate dish, the kanpachi was sliced thinly, and it was melt in your mouth. chicken wings, general tao's sauce, fried chicken wings, with grilled broccolini we then had the seven course omakase tasting menu, $70/person, minimum 2 people sharing roasted beets, burrata, mixed greens, honey crisp apple, chardonnay vinaigrette, candied walnuts bison tartare, shallots, chives, crispy quinoa, cured egg yolk with salted rice crispy, great texture and flavours totten inlet mussels, spicy genmai miso butter, sake, cream, herbs, we got 2 orders of the mussels in lieu of the kanpachi crudo, mussels were plump and juicy black cod bouillabaisse, tiger prawns, fennel, leeks, tomato, dashi broth pain au lait, house made japanese milk buns and for dessert, we had the dark chocolate ganache praline crunch, milk chocolate mousse milk crumble. great ambience, sophisticated cocktails, innovative menu and well executed dishes. most everything we had was delicious, the stand outs were the bison tartare, kanpachi crudo, brussel sprout salad, mussels, and burrata, the only disappointment was the main entree, black cod. torafuku filled up quickly as the evening progressed. don't know why it took us this long to finally try this place, they just celebrated their eighth year anniversary this past october. we will definitely be coming back.
Came here before heading out to the States.
It was Sunday lunch time and not that many people at 12 pm. Service is good and friendly. Ambience is casual fancy. Everything was as expected and delicious. We had below and highly recommend: - Yuzu and tamarind mocktails - I love dumplings - Pork belly and crack rice - Beef noodle soup - Hiramasa fish collar - Basque cheese cake
Torafuku, Main St.
Vancouver Part of Michelin Guide 2022 and 2023 My my, where do I start with this place!? They had a fire sometime in the summer and are back again. Simple decor, really attentive and active staff. The Chef Tasting Menu is highly recommended. Starters: Mussels (5/5) - Fresh, the miso butter is to die for, I almost licked the plate to the last drop. Bison Tartar (5/5) - melt in the mouth texture, comes with fried wonton wrapper to scoop everything in. Rice crisp are a fun surprise in the texture. Hiramasa Crudo (5/5) - citrusy, Gingery and again melt in your mouth soft texture. I need more than an appy size for this one. Burrata Salad (5/5) - Fresh salad and Burrata. Mains: Black Cod (5/5) The tomato dashi broth can be scooped up with the dinner rolls. Highly recommended wiping the plate clean, fennel adds an extra freshness to the already tasty broth - Cod was well done and soft. Desserts: Magic Stick. (5/5) The Praline leaf was delicately done, milk chocolate mousse and dark chocolate ganache was a good combo! Such intricate cooking and taste combinations is what makes this place amazing. Perfect place for a date night for sure!
The reviews that say that this place isn't that good is
The reviews that say that this place isn't that good is lying. The kimchi fried rice is super super good and the perfect amount of spice. If your get the steamed buns get the ribs with it and put it in the buns. Trust me it is amazing and you will not regret it
The best Vancouver meal we had
Unassuming location housing the best meal we had in Vancouver. It was worth the drive to experience this evening. We had the chef's tasting menu and chose the Duck as our main. Our four appetizers were a Burrata Salad, Kanpachi Crudo, Bison Tartar and a Garlic Prawn Papaya Salad. The Burrata Salad featured two things I don't normally enjoy: tomatoes and mushrooms, yet I was fighting my better half for every bite. The Kanpachi Crudo was deceptively simple with complex flavours, it provided a gorgeous symphony in our mouths. Bison Tartare sounded like an odd mix but was delightful, the crisps looked too thin to be supportive but managed to hold its own while melting in your mouth. The Garlic Prawn Papaya Salad had the perfect amount of spicy bite. The Roasted Duck arrived with four steamed wraps. Now I am not a fan of duck, but this was the most delicious duck I've ever tasted. I wrapped up the duck with the cucumber slices and cherries for a custom duck taco. The wraps disappeared before the duck did but it was tasty on its own. Desert was the Basque Cheesecake. Trying to be good, we cut ourselves only quarter slices. The top of the cheesecake was lovingly "burnt" evoking childhood memories of marshmallows around the fire. It was absolutely delicious. Ignoring my diet, I kept picking at the remaining half until the server took pity on me and brought out a takeaway container. I didn't think it would last the night, but it was just as tasty the next day. The Michelin guide is right “if there’s a dish you simply must order it’s their wonderful Basque cheesecake.” The entire time service was friendly and attentive. We found the meal perfectly paced, never rushed, and we still got out with time to spare to make our show. Also of note, while the playlist featured excellent tunes all night, the kitchen itself was almost silent. Chef Steve Kuan runs a well-oiled machine, everyone focused on putting out the best plates they can. In the dining room, we could have a conversation without straining to hear one another. Torafuku should definitely be on your list of restaurants to visit in Vancouver. My review does not do this restaurant justice, but this one truly does, search Akeena + Legall + torafuku
First time checking out Torafuku, a Taiwanese fusion
First time checking out Torafuku, a Taiwanese fusion restaurant. It's a few doors down from The American and Bodega on Main. We dropped in on a Friday (with 12:15pm reservations). No need to make a reservation for lunch. Service was fine but slow. Lunch menu is short with sharing plates, kickass rice bowls, beef noodle soup and basque cheesecake. There's a small happy hour (Wednesday to Sunday, 3:00pm to 5:30pm). Dinner is pricey a la carte but there's a 7 course tasting menu option ($65.00/person). - I love dumpling ($10.00) - 5 small dumplings. Nothing special about them or their house made chili vinaigrette. - Pork belly rice ($16.00) - braised pork belly was tender, not too fatty. - Fried chicken rice ($16.00) - gluten free chicken. Nicely done (crispy texture and juicy), 7 spice mayo was decent. - The chicken & crack rice ($17.00) - if you get one of the rice bowls, make sure it's with the crack rice (brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli and kale with parmesan and lemon essence). All the vegetables were tasty. - The pork belly & crack rice ($17.00) - 2x Torafuku beef noodle soup ($20.00) - beef shanks were tender. Noodles slurpable but wanted them more toothsome. Broth lacked depth. You're better off going to RedBeef Noodle Kitchen to get your Taiwanese beef noodle fix. Decent flavours but nothing stood out to warrant a return visit. 3.5 stars.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
