A dining concept by Comma Hospitality, led by Chef partners Paolo Justo, Luis Mercado, and head chef Benjamin Jumonville, centers on grilled items, bar food, and late-night bites meant to be enjoyed while drinking. The menu is anchored by a significant yakitori program, featuring meticulously-sourced chicken, meats, and vegetables grilled over Japanese binchotan charcoal to highlight purity of flavor and technique.
Complementing the skewers are contemporary izakaya plates designed for sharing that balance familiarity with intention, including an udon carbonara, a traditional Kanazawa katsu curry, and the featured Toga Wagyu burger served on a potato bun with house-grind of brisket and beef heart, tomato marmalade, and dashi aioli. Desserts follow the same philosophy, with such offerings as torrija with charcoal-smoked cream and a matcha cheesecake. Throughout the menu, the cooking is direct and bold—pared down, precise, and focused on high-quality ingredients.
The beverage program offers a curated selection of sake, Japanese beers, and cocktails designed to complement the food. A lively bar anchors the space, reinforcing Toga’s role as a neighborhood destination built for easy nights, shared plates, and return visits.
