Torishi - Japanese Yakitori Izakaya

Great food, skewers were extremely creative delicious and quick. Staff was very attentive and food came out quick. The restaurant was quiet with a happy vibe. Great music everyone is very friendly. Great place for dinner with friends or a late night snack. The restaurant is upstairs. Udon was very silky the skewers were amazing definitely recommend the chicken thing with cheese. If you are looking for a fat juicy bite of meat the pork belly is great. Many reviews said food came out cold but in my scenario the food came out piping hot.

The food was so traditional. The most impressive skew was the pork and shrimp skew!! Very unique combination! Will also recommend the creamy udon, after having that I was so full. The service was so good, they are very nice and kind. Will absolute return!

I’m a big fan of Japanese yakitori, so I was really excited when I first found this place — the photos looked amazing. But honestly, today’s experience was a bit disappointing. The wait time was pretty long, especially for a Tuesday evening. The skewers overall tasted good, but they were all served cold. My favorite was the Shrimp Chicken skewer, though the chicken wing was extremely salty (too much salt and black pepper, I think). My friend ordered the same one later and had the same reaction. The creamy masago beef udon took around 40 minutes to arrive, and it turned out very watery 🥹. I really wanted to love this place, but I don’t think I’ll come back unless they make some changes.

It's interesting to read the other reviews. The restaurant is new and still trying to get a good flow. Service and atmosphere was great, food for me was just ok as it came out not as hot as I like. Flavor was good tho.. Still have their 30% off and free drink promo. Service was the best part.

We really tried to be understanding, but our experience here was extremely disappointing — from the way we were seated to how disorganized the service was. We joined the waitlist as a group of three. When our table was ready, there were two open tables — one small two-person table by the window and a larger four-person table near the entrance. Despite this, we were squeezed into the two-person table with an extra chair awkwardly added. When we politely asked if we could switch to the larger table, the host told us it was reserved. However, about 10–20 minutes later, a group of two who had also joined the waitlist were seated there instead. Later, another table for four opened up. Because our tiny table was so cramped that we accidentally spilled beer, we asked again if we could move. This time, the host said it was being saved for a group of six — yet that table sat empty for more than 30 minutes before another group of two was seated there. At that point, it was hard not to feel misled. If the restaurant did not want to accommodate a switch, we would have appreciated straightforward communication rather than repeated excuses. We were the only group of three squeezed into a two-person table while multiple parties of two were comfortably seated at larger ones. It made the entire dining experience messy, uncomfortable, and frankly unreasonable. The waitress and waiter were kind, but the service itself felt very unorganized. Every time we finished a plate, we had to hand it to them ourselves — no one came to clear the table. With such limited space, it quickly became messy and uncomfortable. Food service was also inconsistent. Some skewers came out lukewarm. After finishing what had been served, we sat waiting for around 15 minutes before a server checked in to ask if we were missing anything. We explained we were missing one chicken shrimp and two chicken skewers. She went to check and came back saying the chicken shrimp was sold out — even though another staff member had earlier told us it would “come later.” It also doesn’t make sense for a single set of three to be cooked and served separately like that. Overall, between being improperly seated, given conflicting information, and dealing with disorganized service and uneven food, this visit was extremely frustrating. What should have been an enjoyable dinner turned into an uncomfortable and disappointing experience from start to finish.

Pork neck with citrus chilli and Masago mayo chicken were our favourite skewers. We tried the Creamy curry karaage udon and Creamy masago beef udon. They were both amazing and tasty! We came back twice just to eat it and now craving it again as I’m writing this review. Highly recommend this place, they also have a really great atmosphere !!!

Absolutely love Torishi! The yakitori was juicy and flavorful, the donburi was rich and satisfying, and the udon noodles had the perfect texture. Finished with a creamy ice cream dessert — everything was amazing from start to finish. Cozy atmosphere and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!

First time trying out this new place Definitely coming back to try other menus! Their house beer matches so well with the skewers. My recommendations are the chicken shrimp, masago chicken meat stick and chicken meat! Also must try their chuka idako appitizer!!
