Gault&Millau's review 2026

At the very centre of the city, a few steps from the main square of Zagreb, within the restaurant hub of Petrinjska Street, is Torikaya Ramen Bar. It has an outdoor terrace, where you can observe the hustle and bustle of everyday life on the square itself, and a smaller indoor space, decorated with neon details on the brick wall, which contributes to a pleasant atmosphere, with the acoustic background of the pleasant light murmur of the guests. The main stars of the menu are several types of ramen, thick soups with wheat noodles and various toppings. The most popular is the Tantanmen ramen with pork stock, and we were intrigued by the combination in the Vega Ramen, curry with coconut milk and the unusual addition of panko gorgonzola. We would say a bold twist that is excellently executed with other, more traditional toppings. Of the six starters on offer, we opted for the Pork belly bun, very juicy with a well -steamed bun and the crunch of hazelnuts, peanuts and cracklings, and for the Veggie Gyoza, which won us over with the texture and crunchiness, although they lacked a little identity in the taste itself. The other bestseller from the menu, Beef udon noodles, was also on the table, which certainly lived up to expectations, and we rounded off the story with the Miso brownie dessert, a sweet -savoury combination that goes well with the previous dishes. The personnel are always present with a smile and ready to help. And the suggestions for pairing wines, cocktails and mocktails that you can find on the menu by almost every dish, are helpful. There is also a list of Japanese whiskeys and sake.
