I’m surprised there’s a decent ramen place in downtown Wilmette, the quality isn’t bad. The soup stock is a little salty compared to the ones we liked in Japan, after all this restaurant is catered to Americans with much salty taste and not a fan of subtle taste like Asians. The prices are reasonable but wish they charge extra $2 dollars and give us little more noodles. Will return again.
On a Friday lunch the place has plenty of seats, don’t need a reservation.

Food was great. Appetizers came at the same time as entrée, however. Cool casual atmosphere, not too loud to drown out conversations. Closes too early for a Friday night.

Amazing restaurant! I recently ate at Torino in Wilmette and the food was amazing. Flavorful and authentic Japanese cuisine at a very affordable price, and the staff were so knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely will come back soon!

We had a 5:30 reservation and arrived and were seated outside as requested at 5:25. Server immediately came and we ordered a couple drinks and an appitizer. They were served within 3 minutes! Clearly the app had been sitting around. We said we were not in a rush but placed our dinner order. It was delivered to our table within 5-6 minutes and before we’d finished 1/2 our appitizer. We actually laughed at how absurd this was. It should be noted that of the 5-6 tables outside only ours and one other were occupied. By 5:45 the server gave us our bill and said “no rush,” which was hysterical. We took our time eating our dinner and left at 5:55. This was the 8th or 9th time we’ve been to Torino but will never, ever go back. Mistakes can be made but this was the rudest, most unprofessional service I’ve ever experienced. Plenty of other options.

The food is amazing! My husband and I ordered the pork bao, two different kinds of ramen, and the octopus little appetizer. Everything was delicious. 100% recommended.

Honestly so amazing! First time ordering and we got two small sushi trays and mango tango veggie roll. We ordered off their site for a scheduled delivery and it came right on time and very much fresh! Everyone loved it and we will definitely order from here again!

I had a pork bao bun and the Sammy ramen with sweet corn. I do think that the bao bun was missing something like shredded carrots. It needed something more. The ramen was absolutely delicious. I ate my entire bowl. It was that good. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. Our food came out in a timely manner. I will say that inside, there were a lot of flies. Having worked in the industry, it’s really important to have that under control especially if there is raw fish around. I also don’t think that management was present in the front of the house. There were employees on their phones and eating in front of customers. I do think that was also distracting. That’s why I gave a 4 instead of a 5. But I will definitely be coming back for more ramen.

Had a wonderful dinner, everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Tried the bow buns, sushi, and ramen. The ramen was my favorite. Curry ramen was very flavorful, had a few options to choose from…. Definitely coming back to try the rest of them. Gets busy on weekends. Recommend to make reservations

Great choice for a nice warming ramen on a chilly fall night. My friend had the Tantan and I had the Torino ramen, both were fantastic. The Tantan is a little spicy and my friend said this was the best ramen he had ever had. The broth was great and my friend loved the pork in the Tantan. I’m not in love with the decor but the service was attentive and friendly. They had non alcoholic drinks on the menu but not a nonalcoholic beer – it would be nice to have that option in the future. I’ll be back to try the bao!!

2.75 – I would revisit for the atmosphere. Meal and service is above acceptable. Investment / portions / flavor engineering , I feel was a little under par (investment of $25 overall)
I ordered a spicy dish, the noodles and protein outweighed its flavors. but that was due to me ordering extra noodles and protein. it was not until I finished eatting the noddles, when the broth flavors became vibrant.
next time I would hold off on the extra noodles & protein.
The Bun / appetizer felt surprisingly fulfilling for its appearance. It taste good yet lack a “sweet pop kick” for being Teriyaki mixed
this is just my opinion and if you’re in the area. no harm to check it out yourself.
thanks for reading! 🙂
