Yakitori Toriyoshi Ginza

Where do i even begin, this place is appalling. Walked in and was told there’s no space downstairs even though less than half of the restaurant was occupied. We got brought upstairs where we only saw other foreigners. They handed us a menu with no prices and asked if we needed an english menu. Should’ve left right there and then but we were tired and just wanted to eat. What we failed to realize was the ¥1000/person fee to just sit down! Another ¥800 for “service” which there was barely any the whole time we were there. I should’ve glanced at the reviews because there were many similar warnings like mine. Food was also below average and the portions are tiny. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Stay away from this restaurant! We walked down the Ginza corridor, found this place, and entered. Failed to do my research. They gave us an English menu that had no prices. The basic yakitori in the area are around 150-200 yen each. We ordered two beers, one bottle of water, 20 yakitori skewers, and two steamed eggs. Our bill totaled 22,000 yen because we ordered from an Engish menu. The price is 4x as much as the Japanese menu. There is also a 10% upcharge. The food was mediocre. There are plenty of restaurants out there that have better service and food.

Foreigner/tourist trap. Made the mistake of not looking at the reviews before dining here but they are completely factual. Tourists/foreigners are made to dine upstairs even though there were available seats downstairs and made to pay foreign prices which I'd imagine is 3x more On top of that the food quality was terrible. Avoid!

Good option for yakitori in Ginza. Staff was super friendly even though I arrived 15 minutes before the last order.

We were a table of four. Since the English menu did not include prices, we asked for them and got another menus with pricing. We ordered 22 Yakintori’s 2 beers and Water. When we got the bill, we were surprised by the sum, which was 17800 yen. We asked for explanations. They calculated it before us and reached lower price. Than they said the pricing in the additional menu were not updated. They added 800 yen per person, total of 3200 yen for table cover. We read outside that the table cover is 800 yen, but didn’t thought it is per person. After 10 minutes of conversation and calculations we decided to pay and leave. If you are not Japanese, don’t eat there!!!

Great range of flavours, textures, and techniques on offer. Really enjoyed the whole experience.

The sister restaurant was closed for 1 week for a party, and we really wanted to eat good yakitori, so we decided to give this place a try. The food is great, and it seems to be slightly cheaper. However they didn't have our favourite garlic chicken chazuke that we liked. One of the staff from the sister recognised us as he was working there that day, but only towards the end of the meal. Still, it was a nice meal. Thank you for the hard work!

Amazing Yakitori! Perfect seasoning, tender. Good variety.
