Michelin Guide rating

Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking.

This has been in operation since starting life as a food stall in the postwar years. An old photo on the first floor shows the original sign from those early days. The ‘Tori’ in Torishige reflects an earlier usage, when yakitori referred to pork as well as chicken skewers; ‘shige’ is in honour of the Prime Minister of that time, Shigeru Yoshida... More info

We were seated at the first-floor counter, but unfortunately, all the grilling happens on the second floor. Since the skewers have to be brought down from upstairs, it really affected the experience and the timing. Service started very slowly—it took 30 minutes for the first course and another 20 for the second. ​While the pace picked up eventually, the 6–7 course meal took over two hours in total. The food was reasonably delicious, but considering the price point, it felt a bit expensive for what was served Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

If you don't speak Japanese and would like to go to Torishige, I suggest you read the below...as this is not a place for foreigners. - I waited another 15-20 minutes despite having made a reservation 3 months out - We were put to the side of the counter, immediately next to where the waitresses prepare food and drinks...had people pouring drinks and walking behind us the whole night - They don't speak English here, and they do not proactively to get your order, you have to ask them to come yourself - Service was extremely slow. We had a chef's course with set us back 5500yen for 5 skewers and 1 small piece of steak......over 2 hours. But to be fair, their food was fine. - No chicken, only beef and pork - Japanese couple next to us get served quickly for the same order - Cash only. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: ¥5,000–6,000 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
