Tori Yen - Reservar una mesa

Tori Yen...A Gem Among the Dross. In the wilds of Tujunga, there is a really good Japanese restaurant called Toriyen.

Their motto is best sushi in the boonies. It is an understatement.

Better than average home style Japanese food. Friendly and casual. Many local connections and history. Homemade ice cream too.
