Review Toro Japanese Restaurant - Vernon

For hibachi style food this was pretty good. Between all of us in the party we had the chicken, steak, shrimp, and fillet. Everything was very flavorful and the steak/filet was cooked to perfection. Waitstaff was friendly and food was served quickly (much faster than a regular hibachi grill). There's no show, but who really cares when you are hungry and just want some good food?

Food is awesome, steak was the Most tender I've ever had, large portions, really good food. The restaurant is just a little different from what you would find in a Dallas Hibachi.

Who would expect to find good Japanese food in a little Texas town with a population of 10,000? Until today, not me. This recently opened restaurant serves hibachi-style food, sans the hibachi-style dining, and sushi. Being my first time here I had to try two dishes. I ordered the Vernon roll (spicy crab, shrimp tempura, avocado, and cream cheese) and was not disappointed. I was a bit surprised with the first bite though. I've never had sushi that was served warm. After that brief moment of confusion I was able to savor it fully. That bite alone was enough to ensure I'd be back. I also had an order of hibachi beef. It came with the typical pile of fried rice and cooked vegetables. The rice ranks right up there near the top of rices that I've had. Not at the very top, but pretty close. The service was very good and we were able to easily meet our one-hour lunch. The atmosphere was unique among Japanese places I've dinerd The building itself was more like an aging Mexican food place that's been recently updated. Overall, if you like Japanese food, it is definitely worth trying and should end up being a place for frequent travellers of US-287 to stop for lunch or dinner

Got the jalapeno poppers and OMG!, they were phenomenal. They had crabmeat in them. The wontons were loaded with crabmeat. The gyoza was perfect too. Tried the chicken egg rolls, which were delectable. We had the dragon roll, 287 roll, spider roll and the volcano roll. All the rolls were tasty and fresh. Service was fast and attentive. Food came out fast too I'd recommend this place to anyone. It's a diamond in the middle of BFE Texas.

Travelled from Colorado to Dallas and found this hidden gem! Was not expecting to find such great Japanese food in this small Texas town. Owner and staff were super friendly and food was 10/10. I highly recommend!

I dont know how anyone could give this place anything under 5 stars! Toro is an amazing restaurant full of a wide variety of fresh and delicious food. A true hidden gem for vernon, tx. I eat here 3-4x a week and have never once been disappointed! The staff is always friendly and quick. The food is hot and fresh. My favorite place to eat by far in vernon!

This was legitimately one of the best meals I’ve ever had. You wouldn’t expect such incredible sushi in Vernon Texas.

Being from calif and on our way home. Pleasent surprise to find a wonderful restaurant off the freeway. Delicious sushi, good service, nice staff. Definitely a good stopping place to eat
