Izakaya Tori

Authentic Japanese restaurant

Tonkotsuya

Authentic Japanese restaurant

😠 I think they are under new management. I order ramen and have been waiting for so long and actually they lost my order. Sushi left next to cashier uncover and everyone order food in front of the sushi. Reman didn’t cook through and still hard.
