A delightful little yakitori restaurant. It was great we didn’t smell like the food when we left since we had regular seating. It would be cool to watch them cook but we had kids with us. It’s great that you can tell them you’re not into weird pieces like hearts and organs and they’ll substitute. The different pieces, though mostly chicken, all had different tastes. We brought our kids that can’t finish an entire omakase. We thought we could get a la carte for them but they won’t let you order just a la carte despite the two adults ordering a la carte. We enjoyed our meal here.

What a great yakitori experience! The chefs have great skills and nice service, and the skewers are delicious! I never thought that grilled chicken could be yummy like this!

Definitely a unique and highly recommended experience - Yakitori TorishinIt was an amazing experience to sit down on the side, which is in front of all the chefs working on our food.?

They serve traditional charcoal-grilled Yakitori chicken, they are tasty SO GOODEverything was extremely fresh and The chef at the counter was friendly and explain the detail all the time.

The 10-course menu (only available at the bar) is plenty of food. Some skewers were great, others were disappointing…

I've been wanting to come for a while, and I finally made it tonight. Everything was absolutely incredible. We tried the Chef Omakase at $108 per person. It included Amuse-Bouche, Seasonal Appetizer, Yakitori, Special Grill, Seasonal Refreshener, Rice Dish, and dessert.My personal favorites were the chicken oyster Yakitori and the Wagyu beef steak! And I absolutely loved that they served Japanese strawberries for dessert!We visited on a weekday night, and it was crowded. Make sure to make a reservation in advance!

Only ordered a la carte (seems better value), so thoughts are based on that. Good quality skewers and variety of cuts/flavors - yuzu koshou, gizzard, etc. I would say that ambiance isn't great - can feel a little gimmicky with the separated sections and bamboo interior - but the food does a good job of fulfilling the craving for authentic yakitori.

Loved the ambiance and the food. Reminded us of a place we went to in Osaka. Service was great! The plates were paced correctly and the staff sang happy birthday to my husband. Definitely be back!

Tare is too watery. Yakitori lacks the typical grill flavor. Pacing of the omakase course is completely off, with very extensive wait times btwn courses. Weird sequencing w wagyu served btwn yakitori
I’m really scared to review this place… I don’t write ton of reviews and this place…. Well, I don’t even know what to say. My wife and I are on vacation and splurged (a lot) on dinner here. I don’t really know what else to write… this was one of the best dinners of our life. I feel like I’m cheapening it by only giving it five stars. I can’t believe how perfect every single aspect of this meal was. This morning I was brushing my teeth, stopped half way through and said out loud to myself “wow, so good” just thinking about it. This kind of meal is a privilege. It might even be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I think meals like this should be honored and remembered. I feel so spoiled and lucky that we were able enjoy this restaurant. I would love to help other people have this kind of experience, too. It’s so important to enjoy life and this dinner was a wonderful reminder of all the beauty we can find in the world around us. I’m just so happy that places like this exist. Ok I’ll stop being nuts… but please check this restaurant out if you can. I love New York wow.

Made a reservation at the restaurant as my wife and I had been looking forward to it. 12 hours before she was diagnosed with a contagious medical issue and we cancelled the reservation. Was charged $100 for doing the right thing. We chose not to expose other guests and restaurant staff to the illness and there was absolutely no sympathy. Emailed the restaurant explaining the situation including offering a doctor note. Was told by manager that the charge would stand and the policy states regardless of any excuse whatsoever (I.e. accident, flight delays, anything at all) the policy was the policy. No exceptions. Unless you are 100% certain an act of god is not going to occur before your reservation, I highly do not recommend eating at this establishment. Clearly any method to make money is the policy.

We had the Yakitori omakase and it’s good. I expect more veggies and more variations than only chicken skewers. Dessert is very good. Staff was very friendly.
