    Absolutely exceptional meal and experience. Torisho Sai is elevating and innovating Yakitori cuisine. The space, setting and service was all superb. And the food divine. Wow wow wow, we will be back soon!

    One of the most fun and delicious culinary experiences of my travels in Japan was my dinner at Torisho Sai. The chefs were most gracious; the restaurant decor very elegant; the food fresh and perfectly seasoned and prepared. It was a delight to watch the team in action. They obviously have very good rapport and work in unison. My only complaint is that I may have over indulged just a little bit, but every calorie was worth it. 😉 Highly recommended!

    I don’t know which was my favorite course: the duck tartare, the consommé with (very delicate) noodles, or the chicken tail. The latter made me giggle with delight, it was so good!


    [Since the restaurant is new and not yet on Google Maps, it would be helpful to provide contact information with the email confirmation in case others (like me) get lost in transit.]

    I had a wonderful experience eating at this place.
    The food is delicious with good selection of drinks.

    The place itself is also beautiful with a balanced combination of modern and traditional elements.

    Everyone in the team is friendly and made sure that all the guests were taken good care of.
