Name: Torizen Cuisine: Japanese Address: 22 E Golf Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60173 A cozy, warm Japanese restaurant in Chicagoβs northern suburbs with a refreshingly clean flavor profile.ππ Iβve been twice for lunch β tried lots of Lunch Specials and left stuffed for just ~$30 per person β very wallet-friendly! ππππ TONKATSU LUNCH (Pork Cutlet) β One of their classics, crispy outside and juicy inside! πππππ AGEDASHI TOFU β One of my favorite appetizers β the crispy skin melts in your mouth. Never get tired of it. ππππ AGE TAKOYAKI (Octopus Balls) β So tasty! Not a must-order for everyone, but I love them. Also tried a delicious beef bowl before β seems itβs not on the current menu. Note: Lunch and dinner menus are different!ππ π½οΈ Dinner Menu Favorites (yes, I keep going back!): πππππ Tako Wasabi (Wasabi Octopus) β So good! Small portion, fresh raw octopus. Staff recommended pairing it with sake.ππ πππππ Liver Nira Itame (Stir-fried Chicken Liver) β Super fragrant, stir-fried with chives and bean sprouts. ππππ Toro Saba Shio Yaki (Grilled Norwegian Mackerel) β Ordered to round out the meal, but surprisingly delicious β tender, moist, lightly seasoned. πππππ Kani Croquette (Crab Croquette) β Amazing mix of snow crab, scallops, cream, and mushrooms. ππππ Mini Pork Curry Rice β Tender pork cheek slices in a mildly spicy curry. So comforting! #ChicagoEats #JapaneseFood #Torizen #CozySpot #LunchSpecials #AffordableEats
