Torisuki Tokyu-Plaza Ginza — Restaurant in Tokyo

For a place that "specializes" in yakitori... this is QUITE average. After coming from Osaka and Kyoto, this yakitori is quite subpar, unfortunately. Flavor is barely there and the typical charred flavor and texture was missing. Had to add additional spices to make it better. Place is nice, service is good (conidering this is ginza, is the least you expect) but if you're looking for good yakitori... this isn't it. Finally they charge 700 yen for an "appetizer" which consists of a piece of cherry tomato, a piece of cucumber and a piece of daikon and another small plate with grated daikon (which at other restaurants are already part of the set menu), so all in all, not worth it...

The waiter served us a dish of fried chicken balls before we placed any order. We thought it is part of the 700 yen per person mandatory “appetizer “. At the end they charged us 860 for it and augured the “appetizer” (2100 for our party of 3) only included the small vegetable dish served later. But we didn’t order the chicken balls at all! 3 waiters talked to us and no acknowledge of their mistake! We don’t mind to pay but what an unpleasant experience! They even try to make us look like we don’t want to pay the 2100 yen. The service was slow at the ordering stage too and served sake cold when we ordered warm. Food is nothing worth to mention. Overall very unpleasant...

My experience is not that good. Bad reception from the beginning. Although many table are vacant. Asked to sit in a side table by the entrance , and in front of the kitchen. When we asked for another , they claim the other tables are reserved ! When they noticed we are about to leave , they decided to provide a table a adjacent to the initial one. While eating we noticed people are escorted inside with no verification of reservation. The food is less...
