Yakitori Torishin

“Definitely book the chef’s counter! It’s so fun watching everything come together right in front of you. We did the omakase and couldn’t resist ordering a few more skewers after. The squid was hands down the star, but honestly everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Service was super friendly and on point. Such a great experience, can’t wait to go back!”

“We had a delightful time here with the full yakitori course! The dishes were delicious and the pacing was ideal — even though we weren’t hungry going in, the adequate pacing allowed us to eat while chatting and taking our time, so we could leave without feeling stuffed. The service was very meticulous as well, ensuring everyone feels taken care of. A great place for a special occasion or for the cheaper pre-theatre course!”

“Loved this restaurant! A unique way to try omakase, with yummy skewers and creations off the grill! I could not get enough of the bento flake tofu, the salmon dish as well as the nicely prepared skewers! the ambience is amazing, you feel transported to japan the moment you step in! The mocktails are also not to miss! Make sure to book the chefs counter for the best experience!”

“Dining at Torishin was such a great experience!! I went for the select counter chef’s omakase, and it was fantastic from beginning to end. Every skewer was cooked perfectly, and you can really tell how much care goes into each one. The chicken oyster was a standout—super juicy and full of flavor—and the heart and liver were excellent as well. Honestly, every single piece we had was really, really good, with no misses at all. Sitting at the counter made the experience even better. The chef was friendly and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain each dish, which made the meal feel more personal and engaging. It was great to learn more about the different cuts and techniques while watching everything come together. Service was also on point—attentive, smooth, and welcoming without being over the top. Overall, the whole experience felt thoughtful, relaxed, and very enjoyable. If you’re into yakitori or just want an amazing meal with great service, Torishin is absolutely worth it.”

“I miss yakitori from my time living in Asia, so I decided to give Torishin a try last weekend. It’s definitely more upscale than the spots I used to frequent, but I was excited to see what they’d do. I went with the omakase, though I liked that they also offer individual skewers a la carte. Sitting counter side was a lot of fun—the team clearly knows their craft, and it was great to watch everything being cooked right over the charcoal. Every bite was excellent—tender, flavorful, and full of smoky charcoal depth. My favorite of the night was the chicken oyster. If you like chicken, it really doesn’t get better than that. Service was outstanding and made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be back.”
