Restaurante Torikey

This fusion Japanese restaurant specializes in charcoal-grilled dishes and features an interior inspired by traditional Japanese taverns, with a warm, wood-toned aesthetic. The staff are exceptionally friendly and can describe the menu in both English and Spanish, which makes the experience very accessible. I tried the large OMAKASE menu, which included 10 courses and a dessert, and with a drink the total came to around 79 EUR. A reasonable price for a tasting menu. My favorite dishes were the Karrage with ginger dipping sauce, the grilled beef tongue, the Japanese Wagyu beef skewers, and the Atún TEMAKI, whose specially toasted nori was perfectly crisp rather than soggy. However, the rest of the dishes leaned toward the salty side, and the Shitake mushrooms in particular were genuinely too salty. If you appreciate authentic Japanese charcoal-grilled cuisine, this restaurant is worth trying, but after this visit I would probably choose to order à la carte next time. It seems more economy, as the omakase lacked truly distinctive highlights, and the rice in the final curry dish was overly soft and mushy instead of having the satisfying texture usually expected in Japanese restaurants.

Outstanding experience we had last weekend in Torikey. From the moment we entered (the staff greats every incoming guests with a big hurrray, and it’s very sweet) to the moment we exited. Food - amazing culinary experience. Ramen and gyoza - tasty! My husband ordered udon with pork - he said it was the best udon he had in his life. If we lived in Madrid, we would eat out in Torikey every month! Great job and the chef is a star of the place!!! Until next time, Torikey! P.S. huge bonus is that restaurant is pet friendly. We love to take our dog with us and she enjoyed the udon in Torikey as well 🥰

It was a good experirnce overall and great food , sake , wine. When there are more guests in the night, the restaurant filled with smoke from open kitchen.

What an amazing experience! We went for the omakase option and the chef tailored it perfectly to our tastes, every dish was spot on. The quality and flavors were outstanding, and you can really feel the passion behind the food. Chef Hiroshi energy is fantastic and contagious! The place itself feels cozy and welcoming, and the service made us feel right at home. Honestly one of the best true Japanese experiences we’ve had in Madrid. Can’t recommend it enough!

I am half Japanese and I love Japanese food and to be fair for premium Japanese food made by Japanese chef is good price not overpriced

Very nice experience. The food was delicious and the staff is very friendly. They recommended us beer and some dishes. The price is very good if you consider the quality of the food and the michelin star given. I'll come back for sure

Very good quality of Japanese Yakitori. We had Omakase set and everything was absolutely delicious and authentic. The service pace was also quite fast. Once you finish a dish, the next one arrive almost right away. For drinks they also had umeshu which we didn’t find in so many restaurants here.

One of the best Japanese restaurante in Madrid! Especially Yakitori, but I am fond of their salad as well! Their survice is completely same level as good restaurants in Japan. Really impressive for us as Japanese!! We would like to try their eel because it's recommended by their Manager.

Wow! Simply wow. This was an amazing culinary experience from start to finish. When you arrive - a traditional Japanese greeting - what a welcome! Inside you will find traditional Japanese decor and a clear view of the kitchen. The service is amazing. I think I had no less than 6 different servers attending to me and each one was as pleasant and attentive as they could be. I had the menú degustación. It was nothing short of a phenomenal culinary journey that was an amazing bargain at 55€. The courses kept coming and I think a pictorial explanation is best. I cannot wait to go back.

We were very suprised to find such an authentic yakitori place in the heart of Madrid. The cooking was fabulous, order and spacing of dishes were perfect - which is crucial for enjoying skewers at their best temperature.  After trying out a good portion of their entire menu we ended it with river eel rice (i.e. unagi don) and that was fantastic too. It was so good that we stuffed ourselves afterwards with a ramen and then three desserts.  We enjoyed very bite of everything we ate.  What a hearty meal. Also super nice restaurant staff, amongst the friendliest we have encountered during our week long trip.  Very highly recommended, especially if you want something different for a change.
