"There are many ways to enjoy a meal at Torishin. You can order a la carte skewers, do a chef’s tasting, or sit in a private room alone with a chef who will make you a meal so special that you’ll daydream about chicken parts for weeks to come. But no matter which you choose, you’ll find some memorable chicken skewers at this yakitori spot on 53rd Street." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, ciera velarde
"There are a few different ways to experience Torishin in Hell’s Kitchen, but no matter what path you choose, you’ll have an unforgettable meal. You can order a la carte skewers, do a tasting menu, or sit in a private room with a chef who will make you a meal so memorable that you’ll daydream about chicken for weeks. Just don’t come here expecting an elegant dining experience. It’s a cramped space where you’ll hear whole conversations happening at the table next to you, so you’ll have the most fun if you throw back some sake and get just as loud." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, will hartman
"This is where you go for very good skewers of charcoal-grilled chicken and okonomi options for a set price ($160 or $190). Expect nuggets of crunchy knee bone (yes, eat it), medium-rare breast meat (it’s totally safe, probably), and “main arteries” (edible rubber bands). If none of this sounds appealing, let the chef know and the chicken experience will be more mainstream." - Robert Sietsema
"Torishin, a Michelin-starred restaurant, features an omakase menu with okonomi-style ordering. Diners choose five types of meat and two vegetables, served with salt or tare sauce. The favorite dish was a chicken offal course with savory flavors and textures. The courses are paired with Dassai Blue sake from a Hudson Valley distillery." - Eater Staff
"Japanese skewer delivery and takeout available - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
