Toro Ramen Review

This past week I was feeling restless and wanted to get out the house. I decided that I would look up some fun new restaurants and give one a try. I stumbled upon a Japanese restaurant called Toro Ramen. They had 4 1/2 stars and almost nothing but fantastic reviews, so it was obvious I had to give it a try. I’m going to rate and discuss my experience in the following categories: cleanliness/atmosphere , customer service, affordability, and lastly tastiness.

Cleanliness/Atmosphere

As a food lover I feel like cleanliness and atmosphere is extremely important and contributed greatly to your overall dining experience. I was pleasantly surprised with the layout of the restaurant as it was very open and made the seemingly small space feel a lot bigger. The walls were painted in dark neutral tones adding just the right amount of coziness. Along with the atmosphere the overall upkeep and cleanliness was great. You can tell the employees kept up with dirty tables and kept the floors squeaky clean and shiny.

Customer Service

As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by two friendly hosted. They were super inviting and both had big smiles worn at all times. Costumer service is, in my opinion, the biggest factor in running a successful business and Toro definitely had it. My waitress helped explain the menu to me and even suggested some of her favorite dishes to me. She frequently checked on me throughout my meal and did her best to make my experience wonderful.

Affordability

Now I am a current college student so I understand the importance of saving money, so I won’t lie this wasn’t the most affordable meal. My meal alone was 11.99. I also decided to get some appetizers and of course a drink which brought my bill to a grand total of around 17 dollars. This is definitely not something I could afford to do everyday , but it was nice for a treat.

Tastiness

Here we go, the most important part! I have had Japanese food in the past so I knew that I would like this genre of food. Toro’s menu was pretty straight forward, as it only contained two sides. The front side was mainly rice and chicken options and appetizers while the back side was their soup options. To start I ordered myself some veggie spring rolls. They were super flavorful and I could tell they were fresh. For my main course I decided to try the Chicken Rich Ramen which included ramen noodles, mushrooms, ginger and an array of vegetables. It was AMAZING! All the flavors worked so well together creating a flavor medley in my mouth.
