Torikyu — Restaurant in Honolulu

Authentic yakitori location with Japanese people running the restaurant and grilling as they do in Japan. Reasonable pricing with a skewer for $2.50 each but it does add up. We had 20 skewers between 2 people and 6 separate dishes and left so full. Would recommend ordering less 😅 the Agedashi tofu was probably my favorite with the sweet, savory, crispy, and soft texture all in one. Bacon wrapped around quail eggs, enoki, or tomatoes were also very solid. Chicken thick with the green onion was also nicely flavored for just the salted version. Oh and the beef tongue is a good one to order just salted too. Many of the skewers offer the teriyaki flavor or just salted option, we did mostly salted vs teriyaki. I would have skipped the meatball option, since the flavor only came through on the outside. I also recommend a salad with all the meat dishes to balance it out — we had the daikon salad which is something I’ve never had. It was very vinegary but paired well with the meats. Overall spent around $133 (without tips yet) for the two of us. Parking lot is tiny but we got lucky...

Amazing place I never knew existed. Food and service was beyond my expectations. Like any restaurant it can get somewhat noisy, but it’s not unbearable at all. We’ve made a reservation over the phone. Very nice to see people enjoying themself even with restaurant at full captivity. I cannot recommend anything since menu is simple and diverse at the same time. It will be a little Smokey so maybe wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind having slight smell of food being cooked. There’s only a handful of parking right outside the restaurant and stalls are very tight. We prefer to park on king street just so our car wouldn’t get any damages from cars being so close. I’d prefer the bar seating as the chairs are cushioned opposed to wood seat table. Expect to be there for a good hour or more if you plan to eat several plates. I don’t think they mind you as long as you pay to play. All in all a very tucked away hidden gem that we enjoyed and would love to...

If you are looking for some great Yakitori. This is the spot! Located on South King St. Right next to Imanasu-Tei. An awesome bar to get together with friends to drink the night away. Walking distance from UH. You go through the Stan Sheriffs like you are going to 7-11 and you will reach it. They give you a check list for your menu so roll call is suggested when ordering for a medium to a large party. But please be curtious to the other guest. lol The Yakitori is a must have. Grilled to perfection. But what I really like is to finish off with ether a ramen or a grilled rice ball (yakionigiri) Shoyu or Miso. Both delicious. If you want something sweet, they got some delicious gelato to satisfy your...
