Torch Restaurant at Greenbelt

Torch Menu

It was a typical weekend with Baby G and my sister A. We were supposed to go to Mesa when we passed by this new, interesting restaurant called Torch so we decided to give it a try.

Looking at the menu, it's a fusion restaurant, which has become a popular theme for restaurants these days. The interior is nice and spacious. It was not full during the time we dined because it was about 3pm already, past lunch time and too early for dinner.

Here is what we ordered:

Sushi: Cream Cheese Salmon Roll
P339.95

This sushi looks so appetizing with how it was presented. The taste itself, though was just okay. Typical salmon sushi, to be dipped in sushi sauce with option to add wasabi. It's my sister A's order. Being a sushi fan, she also wasn't too impressed with Torch's version. Looks better than how it tastes.

Homemade Fries
P85.95

The fries was good, especially with the dip. We actually asked for a second serving of the dip. 

Chicken Yakitori (with Japanese Rice)
P384.95

The Chicken Yakitori was for Baby G. However, she didn't like it from the moment she took her first bite. She said that she didn't like it and asked if she can have mine instead. I ended up finishing this dish, just because I had to. Nothing special about this dish, though as it's bordering to being bland.

Fire Roasted Hawaiian Chicken
P335.95

Torch is good with presentation, but they still have a lot to improve in terms of quality. As mentioned, Baby G asked me if she can have the Hawaiian Chicken. She ate most, but didn't actually finish. This time, my 5-year old niece said that the food wasn't nice. 

As for me, it tasted typical versus the grand name and how it was presented. 

The only thing about Torch is that it is in Greenbelt, a place that is synonymous to a place to find good food. They have this chef area where you can see the chefs doing the orders, and yet, they didn't seem to be happy and excited about their job. They also do not talk to each other, which appeared to be rather sad. Perhaps it's also the reason why the dining experience in Torch was also sad.

In summary, it was another restaurant experience, but Torch isn't a place where we would go back to.
