" I cannot rave enough about Torigoya! The flavors are spot-on and truly authentic. I felt as if I was back in Japan. The only downside was the slightly limited seating, so making a reservation is essential. The grilled chicken was the highlight of my meal, absolutely loved it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Torigoya. The food was delightful—truly authentic yakitori, showcasing many unique chicken parts. Each item was cooked to perfection. However, the service left much to be desired. I felt neglected for a long time, and it detracted from my overall enjoyment. I would recommend visiting during off-peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Torigoya is absolutely fantastic! The yakitori here exceeds expectations, with each skewer grilled to perfection. I tried the chicken hearts and they were so tender and flavorful! The ambiance is cozy and reminiscent of a small izakaya in Japan, making it a perfect spot for a casual dinner. It's wise to make a reservation, as it can get busy. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Torigoya and I was thoroughly impressed! The chicken skewers were juicy, and the staff was very friendly. I loved the vibe of the restaurant; it felt intimate and cozy. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Torigoya has a great concept, especially for yakitori lovers. The grilled chicken skin skewers were amazing! I also enjoyed the oyakodon; it’s a comfort food that hits the spot. Would love if they had more side options, but overall, a great experience. " (*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*)
