Sophie A.

A new favorite sushi spot. Excellent signature rolls and a lunch value bento box that gives you several options to try from their menu. I ordered the teriyaki salmon which was cooked and seasoned well, upgraded to bacon fried rice which was a bit greasy for my taste, but delicious, and mixed tempura. We sat at the bar and Chef Chee curated the 18piece sushi to our preference and it was beautiful. Come for sushi or teppanyaki. Great experience, friendly staff, and modern decor, and even a weekday happy hour with drink specials and $3 off appetizers.

First time dining here! We had dinner here with my husband and two toddlers. The order: we got the three amigos roll and that had salmon, tuna, and yellow tail. Good roll but wished it was packed a little tighter because it kept falling apart. My husband got the red rose that has spicy yellowtail which he gave a 7.5/10, and two kids menu item that includes 2 potstickers, protein ( one got teriyaki beef and one chicken) and they both got an avocado roll. I thought the kids menu was pretty great, quite a good amount of food and has a bit of everything. The potstickers were nice and crispy. The beef teriyaki was nice and tender, chicken teriyaki was seasoned well. The kids enjoyed it. We also got the baked mussels that was pretty good. They even cut it in half so it's not too big of a bite. Service was great. We were greeted pretty quickly when we entered and our server was great at refilling our drinks and checking up on us. They also have teppanyaki as well that's sectioned off right next to the dining area. Sushi bar visible and bar area with a lounge space to relax. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area with a lovely koi pond. I would definitely opt for outdoor seating next time since the kids loved looking at it. Overall, good experience!

We recently visited Teppan Tora for the second time to celebrate a couple of birthdays, and it was such a lovely evening overall. We were seated in the very back room, which felt private and perfect for a celebration. It did get a little toasty back there at times, though thankfully there was an occasional cool breeze that helped. The only real hiccup was that there was some water dripping from the ceiling, and unfortunately it landed on my friend's shoulder. It was not the most pleasant surprise. Hopefully that's something that can be easily addressed. That said, the food was great, the ambiance is vibrant and inviting, and the staff was wonderful as always. Sayuri and her team are doing beautiful things with this restaurant, and you can truly feel how much they care about accommodating their guests and creating a special experience. I also must give a shout out to Anna and Frank who took care of us over in the bar area. Love them to pieces!! We'll absolutely be back to celebrate again.

The grinch roll. Shiitake, avocado & cucumber.

Nestled in a strip mall in northeast Fresno, I've now been here twice-both times for lunch, once for sit-down, and once for teppanyaki. Both times, there was no wait for sit-down, but there were people waiting for teppanyaki seats. We did sit-down the first time and had no wait. We had a reservation for teppanyaki the second time, and waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Both times, the service was really nice--with staff attentive to requests and keeping refills going. Food is good and at a reasonable price, compared to other teppan places in the area. This last time we went was for a birthday. The grill master did a good job honoring the birthday person, and we enjoyed the theatrics, including the onion volcano. We have noted that this place does get a little stuffy (in winter and summer). I'm not sure if the ventilation or AC is not working--but we notice this during both visits. Other than this, we didn't really notice anything that was above and beyond, or anything that took away from our enjoyable lunch. I would be happy to return to this location for a meal, but because there are other locations that are equally good closer to me, it may be a while.

I came here with colleagues and my intern for a holiday celebration. Seriously love this place and they have a great happy hour M to F. We arrived at our reservation time at 4:30pm and was seated promptly. The owner came out to greet us as she is besties with one of the girls in our party so it so nice to meet her. It's so beautiful inside and out. Our cook for our assigned table was out and we had this gentleman who put on a lovely show for us! The fire works, commentary and playful was exceptional. What we needed! The cocktails were delicious. I love GIN anything so this place had me at gin xD The food was delicious and tasty. Definitely enjoyed our time here. Can't wait to come back!

We arrived to dine in late on a Sunday night. Politely informed Teppanyaki was no longer available, however we did not mind since it was not a special occasion. We ordered Edamame, Shrimp Tempura Udon, Chicken Katsu Bento Box, and Bacon Fried Rice. Looking forward to returning to try their Lunch Special and Teppanyaki.

Service is great- Anna is amazing, super attentive and checks in on us multiple times. We usually come for the Teppan which is great, love the fried rice and beef/chicken. We tried the Bento lunch specials last time we went and were disappointed. The chicken was rubbery and tough. It also didn't taste like teriyaki? Salmon was also overcooked. The calamari was alright, breading was good but I wasn't a fan of the sauces provided. The Bento protein portions are also a bit smaller than other restaurants.

Sashimi deluxe. The ride was on the side. It came with fresh wasabi, which was such a treat!

We had lunch at 11 AM on a Monday afternoon and there was only one other table with people. So it was nice and quiet inside. The decor is dark and modern which I loved. I had seen this place on Dan dish and wanted to check it out. I had wanted the chiriashi dish, but then asked the waiter what his recommendation was, and he suggested the sashimi deluxe which is similar to the Chiriashi which is sashimi over a bit of rice that comes with small salad and miso soup. But the sashimi deluxe comes with more fish and is over a bed of daikon and seems a bit more than the Chiriashi. It was perfect to share with my friend who also got the assorted tempura dish. And we also ordered spicy edamame. This was plenty of food for two of us and we're big eaters. All the fish was very fresh and came with fresh wasabi which the waiter told us is only grown in a few places in America. It really made a difference! I'm not a huge fan of wasabi, but I could eat this for days. The service was personable and fast. We were in and out within 45 minutes. I will be sure to come back and try the A5 Wagyu beef next time and probably sit at the sushi bar to watch the magic.

Quick service, nicely cut sushi (not huge thick pieces) cute outdoor seating area. Be sure to check out their happy hour!

Came in for lunch with my girlfriends. The food was really good. Flavorful. We all tried different things. Their hot mustard was not good that could be better. The restaurant was clean and smelled great however it was very hot inside. I get that it's teppanyaki but it was insanely hot. We had a wonderful server. Very nice and accommodating Now the reason for my low review. He accidentally put chicken on my plate before I could stop it. I said it wasn't mine and he grabbed it back off a plate I had been touching and put it onto my friends. I have a germ thing so to me this was disgusting. He also dropped 2 pieces of my meat onto the table of their already little portions. We paid 80 for all 3 of us which isn't bad but we had some food violation server. I feel bad to be upset because our cook was also very nice but it was not okay and the tricks were lacking.

The meal was fine but sadly the kids orders are premade and delivered separately from the show. We were not informed of that and our kids were sad they didn't get to partake in the show. Fair warning for parents when yoh bring your kids. Get the main menu do not get the kids menu lol. The food was good. The sushi was not as fresh as the Bay Area in my opinion but still fine. The chef was greats super entertaining, very collaborative with the kids, and really worked hard. The food was fine not great but fair. Thus the 3 stars. The Diet Coke was terrible, flat and gross, we retuned it for water. The beer was good!

Helen T.

Made reservation for party of 10 for a birthday and was seated quickly in a more private group seating which was nice. We were welcomed by Anders who was extremely attentive. Super friendly and helpful especially dining with 4 little kiddos and offer chopstick helper attachment which was nice. Our chef Jeremiah was hilarious & provided an entertaining teppan show that kept us engaged while cooking our meals as well as keeping the kiddos eyes peel open to watch what's next. Lunch prices was a great deal for our meals with more than enough portion to have some to take home. Overall, it is a good price if you want teppan and can get an entertaining show and not have to eat during dinner to get it like some other places do.

Enjoyed a Teppan lunch with a friend. The decor was tasteful giving an asian vibe without being over the top. They didn't make us wait for a full table as been my experience at other restaurants. Staff was attentive but didn't hover. Our chef did a nice job. Not showy but personable. The food was delicious and plentiful. We both took home lots of leftovers.

This place used to be Sakinaya so as soon as I walked in, was expecting that place. Not even close. Ambiance is different and you can tell things were remodeled. Menu is totally different too- my son and I tried a crispy thing, angel roll, gyoza, sushi platter, and the sukiyaki hot pot. I wish I took more pics. The food is unique and fresh and very tasty. The menu items look more like a traditional Japanese restaurant. I can't wait to go back and try everything on the menu. It reminds me of places I used to eat in the Bay. Really excited this place is here now, if you want authentic Japanese food with a nice atmosphere, inviting but not stuck up, you should try this place! Would be a fun date night or fun family night too. Next time I'll bring my girlfriends and sit at the bar. They do have a full bar too! read more

The food has been delicious both times we've eaten here. However, our reservation was pointless. When we arrived on time, the hostess just scrolled her iPad saying how "all these people are in front of you" and when asked how long the wait, she wouldn't give a time estimate. She just said they'd have to turn 4 complete teppanyaki tables before we'd be seated. We opted for the regular restaurant so we could eat dinner. read more

A hidden gem ! We checked this place out because we live in the area and used to go to the previous restaurant that was here and we honestly were SHOCKED at how BOMB the food was! Such a nice fresh environment , nice and cool unlike most teppanyaki places that run on the hotter side . The food was top tier ! Seasoned to perfection and hot the entire time , I was actually so shocked at how good the place is for being on the newer side. It was empty but do not let that fool you! Beers were so good and the total was super cheap compared to other places but worth every single penny! The lunch special you cannot beat and beers were $5 a piece which was perfect ! Definitley recommend if your looking for a place to try , will be back read more

Food was delicious, our chef was very entertaining, friendly, and extremely skilled.

The woman that took our orders was incredibly friendly, accommodating and welcoming sense of humor. Her recommendations were excellent and everything we ordered was cooked the way we asked. Even the gentleman that bussed our table while we were leaving was very friendly and made sure we took our leftover food home with us.

Overall was a okay experience, should be a 3.5/5. The food portions were very large, the server was very friendly and attentive, and what I believe was one of the owners was wonderful. However the reservation service needs to be able to specify teppanyaki or table dining, I think the AC was not working or turned off because of how hot it got while eating, prices seemed a bit high for the overall experience but for the area I guess it makes sense. Compared to other local teppanyaki I think its average, not the best and for sure not the worst. read more

I'll try to make a long story short. I had been to Teppan Torra several times with just my husband and I, and we had great experiences each time. So I thought it would be fun to do a girls night and made a reservation for 12 of us, over a week in advance from the date. When we got to the restaurant, they told us it would be over one hour wait because they had overbooked reservations and still had six reservations to seat before us. It's understandable that as a new business, they are still working out the kinks and a situation that started off as poor management and chaos was handled so humbly. They offered to sit us on the patio and comped us a round of drinks and a few appetizers for the inconvenience while we waited to be sat for dinner. They also began to offer appetizers for others who are in the same position as us. Everybody recognized how they showed appreciation, care, and concern for their customers. It made a great impression on all of the girls, everyone said they would definitely be back. We eventually got set for Teppanyaki and then had a blast with the cook! The food was perfect, the drinks were great, and the cook kept us laughing the whole time. I definitely recommend Teppan Torra to anybody who loves Teppanyaki. This place should definitely be on your list!!! read more

One word of advice: if you're planning to join the waitlist, I recommend calling ahead for a more accurate wait time. The website initially showed no one ahead of us, but after joining the waitlist it indicated several parties were waiting. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about 45 minutes, which wasn't ideal with a couple of hungry kids. Thankfully, we were seated within about 10 minutes. Our server, Patrick, was fantastic! He provided excellent customer service, took the time to explain the sushi rolls, helped us navigate the kids' menu, and was attentive throughout our meal. Patrick, thank you for helping make my mom's birthday dinner so memorable. Khasey was our chef, and the food was absolutely delicious. He made sure we had every sauce we asked for. The teppanyaki experience for the children was engaging and fun. To top it off, the staff brought out a cute birthday dessert and sang a birthday tune for my mom, which made the celebration even more special. The location is another huge plus. It's situated in a great area near Fresno State with plenty to do before or after dinner, including ice cream shops, boba spots, VR gaming, and movie theaters. Overall, we had a great experience and can't wait to come back!

All his food was pretty good. The drinks were awful. My husband asked for a Vodka soda and was given a vodka tonic. At first we thought maybe the server heard wrong, but since the server wasn't around at all we walked it over to the bar ourselves and asked the bartender to remake it since the bar was completely empty (I mean not one soul) at 7:45 on a Saturday night. The second drink the bartender gave us was a vodka sprite. Maybe we should have specified soda means seltzer. Dinner bill for 3 adults and 2 kids was $250 plus tips. The food was decent but the service was underwhelming and subpar for spending that type of cash. Especially since the server seemed like anything we asked her was asking her to go out of her way. For example, we had to ask for straws, chopsticks, refills on water etc.

So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.

I came by for the first time on a weekday lunch with the intentions to grab a quick meal to-go…read more The lunch crowd is light as to be expected. I was immediate greeted by the two Sushi chefs behind the counter as I walked in. Not long after, the host greeted me and handed me a menu for me to select my order to go. I considered a poke bowl, however, their sauces were pretty standard. So instead I opted for their seaweed salad that came with a number of protein including tuna, edamame, shrimp, avocado, and masago. It was $19, so it wasn't necessarily inexpensive, however I figured a poke bowl with a couple proteins would run me right about there as well. The sushi chef got right away to work preparing my meal and I was in and out within 5 minutes. When I got home, I opened up my box and was a little underwhelmed with the presentation. The protein is cut up into small pieces and mixed in with the seaweed salad. In addition it is not pure seaweed as it is also mixed in with a bunch of other greens such as sprouts. So while the presentation was not what I was expecting, I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed the flavors and textures. I will definitely order this again.

The restrooms should NOT be the star of the show at a teppan restaurant. The service was nothing special and the beef and chicken were either not a choice cut or prepared poorly, followed by a saturation of butter to deny a proper Japanese seared protein. Even more sad was how undeniably bad the fried rice was. I don't prepare fried rice at home too frequently because of the prep that's required. So I can appreciate when a restaurant does it when they have their ducks in a row. Takumi's ducks were all floating upside down because the fried rice had no personality. Again, unless you like the taste of buttered rice, THIS is not the place for good authentic Japanese food.

I greatly enjoyed it and had fond thoughts of it, trudging uphill in the snow on my way home I had a.Dragon roll with lots of avocado on it and eel and cucumber. It was really good. The avocado and eel roll, though, skimps on the eel and the avocado. The Alaska roll would've been nice to have had the salmon on top instead of a small portion in the middle. The lobster roll was very bland and tasted like imitation crab. The prices were pretty reasonable, but the amount of food could've been better within the roll. All the rolls were 8 pieces. The miso was good. Depending on where you sit in the sushi section, you may have a decent show of the Teppanyaki show in the other half of the restaurant. The server certainly seemed to wish he were somewhere else.

We had such a fantastic time at this teppanyaki restaurant for our grandson's 24th birthday! (10-04-25) Our server Shari was amazing -- so friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome right away. She checked on us often without being intrusive and kept everything running smoothly. Our Chef JJ was amazing. The food was delicious, and we loved the lively teppanyaki cooking show. They also have an amazing open bar with a great selection of drinks. Our server recommended some cocktails & a bottle of Troublemaker wine, which was absolutely fantastic. On top of that, they have a great variety of fresh fish and sushi, which was a wonderful addition to our meal. What made the evening extra special was that she brought out a Mochi dessert for our grandson at the end of the meal -- such a thoughtful and sweet gesture that really made his birthday feel celebrated. The excellent service truly made our night memorable. We'll definitely be coming back and recommending this restaurant to friends and family! read more

Hands down one of the best Japanese dining experiences in Central Valley! We ordered the sushi boat, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Everything from the seaweed salad, sashimi, oysters, to the sushi roll were all incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The fried shrimp was a standout, perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of flavor. What truly blew me away was the wasabi, it wasn't the usual store-bought paste. It was freshly grated, intensely hot, and bursting with that clean, sharp flavor that only real wasabi has. A total game-changer! The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The ambiance was also a highlight. The peaceful pond at the outdoor space added such a calming, zen touch to the whole experience. This place is a true gem. If you're a sushi lover or just appreciate quality Japanese cuisine, this is a must-visit! read more

As much as I love the full teppanyaki experience, life looks a little different these days with our growing family. We don't always have the time to sit down for the entire show, so I absolutely love that Teppan Toro offers the teppanyaki as takeout. Their chicken and shrimp teppanyaki plate is hands-down one of my favorite takeout meals. You still get all the flavors of fresh teppanyaki without having to spend a couple of hours at the restaurant. It's the perfect option when you're craving hibachi but need something quick and convenient. The portions are generous, everything is cooked perfectly, and it travels surprisingly well. There's something so nice about enjoying restaurant-quality teppanyaki from the comfort of your own home. If you're short on time but still want an amazing meal, I can't recommend their takeout enough. It's the best of both worlds! read more
