Torafuku’s Valentine’s Chef Tasting Menu features seven courses including four shared appetizers, choice of main with paired starch, and dessert to finish. The menu will be available available for $65.00 per person from February 11-13.

Menu highlights include starter options of Hokkaido Scallop Crudo with ponzu, grape, cara cara orange and dill, a perfectly piquant Korean Gochujang Fried Chicken is another option. An elevated congee with steamed lobster and Szechuan chili peanuts is a perfect warming winter option.

Chef’s tiramisu made of bold Vietnamese coffee makes for a memorable finish to this menu designed for two to share.

Special options from the bar include sake pairings and a limited-time Valentine’s cocktail, Ladylike. This smooth sipper of Haku Vodka, Aperol, lemon, grapefruit and champagne vinegar presents the perfect balance of sweet and tart “Just like any relationship,” shares Steve Kuan, Torafuku Owner.
