TORI TORI

The Best Bars In Orlando - Orlando - The Infatuation

"Come to this walk-in-only Japanese pub to unwind with fun food that comes on a stick and happy hour deals. They have 35 types of sake, plus fizzy highballs and bites that are way better than your typical bar sliders: delicious salty chicken skin yakitori skewers, spicy yuzu pepper shrimp, and grilled shoyu quail eggs. Is it a restaurant? Yes. But the huge space is always full of people chatting, and perfect for sharing small plates with whatever new friend you made at the bar (because you were eyeing their snacks)." - ryan pfeffer, cheryl rodewig

"One of Tokyo’s greatest pleasures is the ability to purchase a highball straight from a vending machine. In order to bring a similar experience to Orlando, Tori Tori partnered with House of Suntory, one of the world’s oldest Japanese whisky producers, to create a custom highball machine for the bar. The result is a perfectly chilled Toki Highball, blending smooth, ice-cold whisky with effervescent sparkling water. In addition to the expansive cocktail menu, Tori Tori serves yakitori and kushiyaki dishes from its bustling open kitchen, including spicy yuzu pepper shrimp and savory shoyu-marinated quail eggs. Tori Tori is always packed, and its first-come, first-served and order-at-the-bar policy adds to its raucous, “come as you are” atmosphere." - Colleen Hamilton

"Founded by Sean “Sonny” Nguyen, this Mills District concept is a classic izakaya offering bar bites, yakitori, as well as sake and creative libations. Unlike its sibling (Domu), this menu is varied and the trendy space is especially cutting-edge. Its name is painted on the side of the building and there's parking behind the restaurant. If that doesn't draw crowds from afar, the eclectic vibe and focused dishes certainly will. Start with skewers before moving on to grilled lamb chops, elevated with a mint-yogurt sauce, cherry tomatoes and diced cucumbers. A mound of fragrant fried rice may then show up mixed with sweet crab, notes of savory garlic and lemon essence.Reservations are not accepted, so arrive early or risk waiting in line." - Michelin Inspector

"While many consider Tori Tori an izakaya, it’s actually a no-resy, walk-ins-only Japanese bar that just so happens to serve some of the best pub grub around. Bites of whole binchotan-grilled Japanese flying squid and chicken skin tare pair perfectly with effervescent highballs and creatively concocted stiffer sips like the coconut shinobi and the Japanese slip n’ slide with Haku vodka, midori, dry curacao, lemon, and egg white." - Faiyaz Kara
