This place certainly needs to be on anyone's list, and probably not just for a one-time visit, but for several visits over long periods. They specialize in high quality chicken yakitori, and every dish is absolutely fantastic. We came for dinner and were served a preset meal with anything from juicy hearts to medium-rare and scrumptious tenderloin to yummy crispy stuffed wings to absolutely gorgeous neck meat. Everything was grilled perfectly with a delightful smoky flavor and light seasoning. Order a bottle of sake or some white wine, or bring your own, and enjoy a truly fantastic meal prepared by very professional and efficient and friendly staff.

I would suggest paying closer attention to details, as this would really help improve the overall dining experience. During our visit, one staff member was responsible for serving the five of us, and when we placed our order, the server thoughtfully asked about any dietary restrictions and preferences. However, there were a few issues. One of my companions does not eat medium-rare chicken, so we requested that the chicken skewer be cooked well-done. Despite this, it was still served at about medium-rare. Additionally, the dessert of the day was a Matcha Basque cheesecake. I clearly mentioned that I do not eat matcha and asked if there was an alternative. The staff member told me that it could be replaced with ice cream, and I agreed to the substitution. However, when the dessert was served, the matcha Basque cheesecake was still brought out instead. As for the food itself, the ramen, chicken ankles, and chicken cartilage were the most satisfying dishes. Unfortunately, the other items were somewhat disappointing, as they lacked the charcoal-grilled aroma that we were expecting.

IG: @jojo_gourmand The sight and scent of meat sizzling over an open flame satisfy something deep and elemental within us. Yakitori is one of the best ways to savor a whole chicken, and Chef Tommy of Torien 鳥苑地雞燒 understands the relationship between flame and flesh, knowing just how to cook each cut to draw out its best flavor.
