​​NYC Restaurant Week at Soba Totto - A Yakitori Feast!​​

Craving yakitori? For this year's NYC Restaurant Week, my first stop was ​​Soba Totto​​! Here's the scoop: 1️⃣ ​​Portions are generous​​ - you won't leave hungry 2️⃣ ​​Limited set menu options​​, but perfect for solo diners (though let's be real, I dragged friends along to try everything!) ​​🍱 The Full Breakdown:​​ ​​🥟 Appetizer Platter​​ Edamame, tamagoyaki, chilled eggplant & pumpkin, crab salad Hot take: Their tsukemono (pickles) put my homemade versions to shame - that marinade is next-level! ​​🍣 Sushi Spoon​​ Tuna, salmon (lightly torched), and yellowtail Surprise MVP: The buttery yellowtail stole the show! Salmon was cleverly torched, but tuna was slightly fishy. ​​🍢 Yakitori Course (4 types!)​​ Chicken heart, breast, thigh, and ume-shiso breast + pork belly + A5 wagyu (upgrade from regular beef!) Meat sweats incoming: Breast was tender, thigh was juicier, all perfectly glazed. Pork belly and wagyu were ​​rich AF​​ (maybe too salty?), but by this point I was already stuffed lol ​​🍜 Osyokuji Main​​ Cold/hot tempura soba or chicken paitan soup Plot twist: Our group of three could only pick soba (tempura was solid though!). Sweet potato tempura = 🔥, but the maitake mushroom version was bland ! ​​🍨 Dessert​​ Yuzu sorbet or vanilla/matcha ice cream Sad matcha noises: They were out, but the other options were standard izakaya sweets ​**​🍶 Sake Pairing (+36)∗∗Dassai39−legendaryforgoodreason,but36 could buy a whole bottle retail... #regrets ​​Final Verdict:​​ Solid Restaurant Week pick for yakitori lovers! Just maybe skip the sake pairing next time 😅 ​​#RestaurantWeek #NYC #NYCEats #NYCRestaurantWeek #Yakitori #Soba #JapaneseFood​​
