"We served premium salmon nigiri before salmon nigiri was famous."
— King Toro Origin
The Concept
A modern takeaway,
rooted in tradition.
King Toro originates from a Japanese food heritage spanning more than 50 years. Inspired by traditional Edo-style sushi culture, the brand became known for introducing premium salmon experiences long before salmon sushi became mainstream.
Today, King Toro is reimagined as a modern takeaway concept bringing premium Japanese salmon dining to Canada.
