Will not come back. Food is overpriced and the quality is not good compared to authentic Japanese restaurants. The service is poor even though the restaurant is not busy.

Amazing find! I’m glad my wife and I tried this place. Agedashi tofu, chicken karaage and ochazuke were all amazing. 100% will come back. Service was great too!

My family and I have been die hard fans of Totto Ramen for years, so it only made sense to try their sister restaurant, Yakitori Totto.Upon our arrival, we were immediately recognized by our server who knew us from Totto Ramen, and were treated to the best lunch of the year!We all shared the Tuna Poke, Miso Soup, Chicken Wings, Chicken Skin, Chicken & Scallion, Skirt Steak, Shitaki Mushroom, & Edmame. Each & every dish was as delicious as the last, filled with approachable flavors that a shy or adventurous eater could easily enjoy.The restaurant is also impeccably designed & offers an incredibly cozy environment.I know this may be a big statement to make, but I feel that Yakitoro Totto will be my favorite Boston restaurant ever.
A decent yakitori place near Boston area. If you are looking for a place to enjoy some snack and drink, Totto would be a good option.We had good selection of various yakitori and chicken karage. All are okay, but this won't be an authentic style of yakitori nor the best quality you can expect. Given the fact that, there are not many authentic or exceptional yakitori place near Boston, Totto is still an appealing option.Service is okay not great, and atmosphere was quite lively. If you prfer serene environment, this would not be the place for you. If you prefer pub-like environment where you can chat with your friends, this would be a perfect place.Parking: Street parking can be challenging, but there is a paid garage in assemblyKid-friendliness: Not with kid
I was not sure what to expect when we decided to eat here. The service, drinks, and service were all excellent. We started with appetizers of eggplant, peppers, and dumplings. Ut was surprising to me that entrees were various skewers of various proteins, all of which were perfectly prepared.

Great place to get some Yakitori and other interesting Japanese dishes! We ordered the Nasu Mizore Gare which was deep fried eggplants with a couple pieces of mochi in a bowl of savory broth. We also had the Maguro Zuke - tuna sashimi slices which was super delicious and full of flavor. As for the Yakitori, we got the Hotate Eringi and the Combo Mambo. There was enough food for two to be sufficiently full! We also ordered the Yawaraka Annin tofu which is very similar to panna cotta and was super delicious and enjoyable! This place was great and the atmosphere is really nice as well, would highly recommend for a date or a bar night
Delicious yakitori as well as other Japanese favorites! Really couldn't get enough of their Wagyu yakitori as well as shishito peppers! Will be back as soon as I'm back in bean town! YUM!

The food here is amazing. I used to go to ittoku for izakaya japanese skewers and drinks. This is a nice place in Assembly. Good bbq skewers.Take the orange line to assembly or park by the road or lot.The chicken skewers are the best. Chicken skin so crispy. Rice bowl was also filling.The drinks were also super tasty.Cozy intimate space. Little tight you can hear ur neighbors talk and hear what to order next.The service is great. Super friendly and welcoming.

Our waiter was fun and attentive. The rest of the team delivering and cooking the food were timely, friendly, and professional. Each of the small plates was delicious and fun to share and compare. Highly recommend!
Had only been to Yakitori Totto once before for lunch last year, which was a good experience. But wanted to try them out again for dinner since I was in the area, and it had been a long time. And it did not disappoint! I had a great experience!First, I was eating solo, which is not always easy for some places. Sometimes, the seating placement isn't great, the ambiance can be too loud, or the waiter might focus on a bigger party, but not my case. It was empty since I came around 4-5pm. I'm sure at dinner or the weekend, it gets busier, so might be good to make a reservation. My server, Grun, was very attentive, prompt with food and service, and even put a lamp at one of my tables since I was eating solo and it was getting dark. Great vibe for New England winters. The restaurant also has a feel of a Japanese restaurant with its wood and bottles and setup, which I thought was nice. And lastly, 2 clean bathrooms, which is something that most diners don't notice but I do.With that in mind, I got a few appetizers and skewers. I really loved the Japanese tamago omelette and the combo skewers. Everything was cooked fresh in front of me. I can see it getting pricey if you get a lot of food and alcohol, but getting a few skewers and appetizers was only $40. I'll def be back if I am in the area solo or for a date. I just love unique places with variety that you can share. All about the experience and this place delivered!
