At long last, is Tori Tori finally about to open its doors?

The first sign was a private party in the space over the weekend. New restaurants often hold “soft openings” to test the kitchen and service staff with a roomful of family and friends, but the exact nature of the event is still unknown.

The second sign is a Facebook post on Monday, saying “exclusive invites dropping tonight for a sneak peak before we open to the public in the coming weeks. 👀👀 ••• ( toritoripub.com )” – for those who join their website mailing list.

The long-awaited Japanese pub will be a first in Mills 50, and will be located next to King Bao at 720 N. Mills Ave. We’ve reached out to Tori Tori and await a response.
