Very good food but weird rules 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!

Otoro and Uni Sushi 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.

Torio Omakase 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 ◡̈

Best Lobster bisque pasta Lobster bisque pasta was very flavourful! Prawns and scallops were expertly cooked! Love the ambience and service provided. Definitely recommend!

Amazing Food and vibes Had the fried squid tentacles and the fish and chips and it was amazing and fried to perfection. The seasoning was on point and the fish was made better woth the malt vinegar spray. Staff is friendly and helpful with recommending their dishes.

Good food Environment of the cafe was really peaceful and had good vibes. Observed that the outside seatings were pet friendly too. I had the duck confit was tender and soft and the squid tentacles was seasoned well. Staff were prompt and attentive. Food was delicious. Good recommend 👍👍

Unique experience Amazed by the innovative approach to food, it was interesting to see new techniques on dishes for example the Squid Noodles with Ink which tasted great with the char from being grilled over charcoals!

Best prawn toast ever! Their Prawn toast is especially crispy, fresh. With the sauce mashed on it, the flavor is combined with a pleasant sweet taste.

Great food, worth the price We started with the sourdough bread, the seaweed and honey butter is good. We tried the squid noodles and ink, it’s a must try. Very interesting and unique dish that I thoroughly enjoyed. Jumbo king prawn, though on the pricy side but it’s worth every bits of it. We can see lots of creativity into the food preparation.

Minced Meat Tofu ($5.50) Smooth, wobbly eggy tofu with a slightly crisp exterior, served in a savoury, starchy, and meaty sauce. A simple classic dish that is always a pleasure to enjoy.

Minced Meat Eggplant ($5.50) This dish can be cooked with sambal or garlic. We chose the garlic style. The eggplant is deep-fried to retain its natural taste and texture before being tossed into a savoury meaty sauce infused with hints of garlic. This preparation helps the eggplant absorb the flavours without becoming too soggy. Appreciated for the effort done.

Signature Kung Pao Chicken ($6.50) Tender chicken stir-fried with a rich, savoury, and starchy sauce in the claypot under bold fiery flames. It has mild spiciness, and the bubbling sauce resembles a roux texture, which can be slightly salty. Pairing it with rice balances the flavours perfectly.

Salt & Pepper Chicken McCrispy No idea what salt what pepper. This was nice but McCrispy itself is already nice.

Banana Pie I've eaten this returning item before but I must repeat it's a worthy challenger to the original apple pie. Caramelised banana is not inferior to apple.

Crisscut Fries Better than thought! It's so fragrant and when crispy it's even better since it's tiered. I wouldn't spell criss-cut that way but it's actually McDonald's registered trademark haha.

One for one pasta Tried the mentaiko salmon carbonara with ebiko Love this pasta! The mentaiko and carbonara combination always work It feels a little Jelat but disappears so quickly when it’s shared. Tried their coffees as well — like the dirty sesame and iced latte. Spent around $80 for two sandwiches and two pasta (2 one for one deals) and 4 drinks so a great meal!

Chicken parmigiana One for one pasta — the portion is great. The taste is pretty average but the portion does make up for it.

Chicken schnitzel and cubano Chicken schnitzel and cubano: Such a good portion and cool plating. The sandwiches are great — portions are great and the sourdough base is soft.

1 for 1 finally tried the popular pawa! 1 for 1 is worth! recommend the savories and can keep long in fridge

Signature Pan-Fried Crispy Pork Soup Buns Wah what happened, this time this was objectively bad.

Shanghaiese Pan fried Bun Order in for 3 pax. Food came in decently pack. Loves the 生煎包 it was crispy on the outside n oozing with soup with every bites. The 糯米烧麦was also good. Noodle texture was nice as well. 抄手was huggggeeee. Braised duck n cutlet was so so for me. The Mushroom面筋a tad too sweet maybe just not used to that taste. Overall will go again just for the 生煎包.

Xiao Long Bao Very good.

One of the best prawn noodles in sg Went to zhup zhup for dinner and had one of the best prawn noodles i ever had, ordered the highly recommended supreme prawn noodles and claypot Hokkien mee, noodles were cooked to perfection and the chilli that goes with the dry noodles were so good, the hokkien mee had a good amount of wokhey and together with the prawn broth was amazing! Will definitely go back!

best prawn noods in sg! I ordered the claypot Hokkien mee, the supreme prawn noodles, and the tasting platter. For drinks, I chose the sour plum and water chestnut drinks. Every dish was really delicious and full of flavor. I could really taste the effort and quality in each bite. The portion sizes were also very generous, and I felt really full and satisfied after the meal. It definitely felt worth the money. As for the drinks, they were both super refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness not too sweet, which I liked a lot. Overall, it was a great meal and a very enjoyable experience.

Satisfying Prawn Noodles Everything was cooked to perfection and served hot. The flavours are bold, and it’s clear a lot of thought goes into the preparation. Definitely a spot we’ll return to.
