" The chicken katsu don at Torigoya was absolutely scrumptious! Perfectly cooked and very filling. The environment was relaxing and inviting. Service could be improved though, as our server seemed overwhelmed. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my experience and would recommend the katsu don to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Torigoya for the first time last week and was thrilled with the experience! The skewers we ordered were juicy and smoky, a true delight for the senses. I especially loved the unique chicken nanban, a must-try for anyone looking for something different. The wait for the table was longer than expected, but the food made it worth it. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Torigoya has such a lively atmosphere, perfect for a date night. The yakitori was well-cooked and incredibly flavorful. Regrettably, there was a slight hiccup with our order, but the staff rectified it quickly. Next time, I’ll come with a reservation to skip waiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" Torigoya was a great find! The yakitori reminded me of my trip to Japan—it's that authentic. The chefs know their craft, and you can taste the quality in every bite. My only complaint is the limited dessert options; I wish they had more to offer. Regardless, I left satisfied and will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The wait time at Torigoya was really long, but let me tell you—the yakitori is worth it! The chicken skin skewers were especially crispy, and the flavors were on point. The team was friendly when they did attend to us. Just be sure to come early to get a seat, or be prepared to wait quite a bit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't impressed on my first visit. The skewers were okay, but I expected more punch in terms of flavor. The katsu don was quite good, but the service felt lacking at times, especially during peak hours. Maybe I’ll give it another shot to see if my experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" The friendly atmosphere at Torigoya is matched by their incredible yakitori selection. I loved the soft chicken thigh skewer and the freshness of the cucumber salad! I’ll definitely come back, but be warned that a reservation is essential to avoid long waits. " (*Curated Review*)
