Torishiki

The atmosphere of this restaurant is chic and elegant and customers drink wine with Yakitori. There is no smoke at all in this restaurant though they serve grilled chicken baked on charcoal. In fact, this restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star. The restaurant does not really have a food menu. You just ask what you like and what you do not like, and the chef will serve you till you tell him to STOP. Trust and leave it all up to the chef. Chochin (lantern) is the egg still not born from a hen. It spread out in your mouth as you chew it. This is the highlight of this restaurant. Anyway, all are very delicious. Everything is perfect, so this restaurant is very hard to make a reservation. They take reservations on the first business day of the month for dinners 2 months later by telephone.

It is one of the hardest restaurants that you make a reservation. People told me that this place offers best yakitori and it was true. It took me like 3 hours to complete the whole thing. Be prepared for a long night. ¥12000/ 1 person. Omakase and 3 glasses of sake.

I tried calling them more than 50 times on first day. Phone busy for two hours. Just a waste of time. Next day they said everything booked. I think they made it seem hard to get reservations to increase their popularity… nothing else. No respect fo people’s time

One of the best omakase yakitori near Meguro station. GOLD Tabelog since 2017-2022 and Michelin 1 star in Tokyo.

Awarded the Gold medal for 3 consecutive years (2017, 2018, 2019) by Tabelog, this restaurant definitely has a reputation to uphold. Finding it is by no means an easy task as its located in a small alley in bustling Shinagawa. Top tip: look for the McDonald's facing Arte mall. Tori-shiki is located in the alley behind this McDonald's. Upon entering Tori-shiki you'll find 17 seats at the counter where the master creates his craft. While you can request for specific items on the menu, the common practice here is that the chef will continue serving you an array of skewers until you indicate to him that you are full.

One of the best restaurant in Japan. YAKITORI is one of the best Japanese culture food. It’s kind of Japanese soul food. If you come to TORISHIKI you will meet the best YAKITORI chef. His skill for YAKITORI is even like art. You can feel the heat, the local mood and the elegant of Japanese.

Worst place ever. I mean i get that you have scheduled time for reservations but i wish they had a good management about the reservations. We live in 2022 and there are so many effective ways of getting reservations. I tried calling them more than 500 times. No answer no nothing. Just a waste of time. There are other Michelin restaurants better than this place. I think they made it seem hard to get reservations to increase their popularity… nothing else.

Basically this is the best yakitori ever. Enough said.
