Vancouver Michelin-recommended restaurant to reopen today after fire
It’s been a busy and stressful time for the team behind Torafuku, a pan-Asian restaurant on Vancouver’s Main Street.
In September, a two-alarm fire at the back of the restaurant led to a four-week closure and forced the postponement of its eighth-anniversary celebration.
As repair crews worked to fix the water damage inside the restaurant and get the business back on its feet, owner Steve Kuan learned last week that the eatery had maintained its highly prestigious Michelin-recommended ranking.

It was announced at the October 5 Michelin ceremony in Vancouver, where the 2023 selections were unveiled.
