"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
"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
"Yes, it’s technically a bar, but it’s a bar that just so happens to serve some of the best Japanese pub grub around. There are bites like pork belly gyoza and blue crab and corn croquettes that dazzle. But it’s with the yakitori where Tori Tori’s kitchen really struts its stuff. Chicken skin tare and chicken oyster can’t possibly be done any better than it is here, and lamb karubi lollipops offer a red meat alternative to prime-grade beef from Revier Cattle Co. Plus, there’s a killer okonomiyaki for purists and some creative cocktails for the bibulous." - Faiyaz Kara
