" Finally managed to dine here after hearing raves and all I can say is WOW! The skewers shine with quality, particularly the gizzard and chicken tail. It also helps that the service was swift and friendly. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the Torimatsu course for the first time and felt like I was enjoying a meal in Japan! Each skewer was bursting with flavor, especially the duck, which surprised me how tender it was. Staff were courteous but could use a bit more attentiveness. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must rave about the chicken soup that they serve as a side! It’s not just an afterthought; it truly complements the meal superbly. The yakitori itself is superb too, with emphasis on authentic preparation. This is a must-try place if you enjoy Japanese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my first yakitori experience here, and I must say, it was incredible! The variety of skewers was extensive, and I particularly enjoyed the tsukune (chicken meatballs) and the duck skewers. The chef's attention to detail is evident in every bite. The only downside was that the place was packed, so make sure to get a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience on my visit since the wait was quite long. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and I didn't enjoy the chicken liver that much, though I know it’s popular. The yakitori was solid overall but not exceptional. " (*Curated Review*)

" Torimatsu is by far the best yakitori restaurant I've visited! The chef really knows how to elevate each piece with perfect grilling. My favorites were the gizzard and the chicken tail. The ambiance is inviting and makes you feel like you're in a small restaurant in Japan. However, you need to reserve well in advance to get a spot. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Laid-back vibe with delightful chicken skewers. The portions were generous, and I left feeling satisfied. If you want authentic yakitori, this is the place. Just be mindful of reservation policies! " (*Curated Review*)
