" 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*)
