My first time at Torikizoku. Both Premium Malt and Chita are only 350 yen!! Amazing! The white onion salt kombu is delicious! I want to try making it at home. The grilled chicken thigh and breast are surprisingly large with the sauce. You don't need one per person, even one for two people seems enough. The chicken wings are light and tasty. The minced chicken cheese grill is delicious, and it's amazing that two pieces are only 350 yen. The chicken liver and leek skewer with plenty of fresh leek. The Toriki White One Cup wine is easy to drink. The chicken skin chips are like a snack, and it's recommended to add shichimi or sansho pepper. The fluffy grated yam teppanyaki is something I want to try making at home. The rice pot is also only 350 yen, which is amazing. We had quite a bit to drink, but it was only 4900 yen for two people. We thought about going for the all-you-can-eat and drink option, but even this was enough to fill us up and get us drunk. The cost performance is great. The service is neither bad nor good, it's just average. The inside of the restaurant is very noisy with customers. According to my friend, in even more rowdy areas, the noise level is even higher.

Monday 20:45, 90% full, ordered 2 Mega Highballs, Takowasa, Momo Kizoku Cheese, Tsukune, Ume-niku Toriten, Ankake Ramen. This was my 5th visit. Some items were out of stock, which was a first. The amount of Mega Highball is inconsistent as usual. The photo shows the same amount of ice by chance. Therefore, the level of the manager and staff seems low. Takowasa lacked the crunchy texture and was only slimy. Momo Kizoku Yakitori had less sauce compared to other places. Ume-niku Toriten was average. Ankake Ramen was very junky, with square-shaped noodles, but surprisingly, I liked the sweet soup. It had a sweet pasta-like taste that Nagoya people might enjoy. Overall, except for one female staff member, the management and staff level seem quite low. However, considering the low prices, you get what you pay for, so no complaints. In this day and age, it seems difficult for cheap restaurants to secure good staff.

When I saw the sign for Torikizoku, I suddenly felt like eating yakitori. The restaurant was a bit crowded, but it seemed to be lively and bustling. The menu was simple, with options like chicken thigh and pork belly. I ordered without much thought and found the pork belly to be surprisingly delicious. The crispy charred exterior and juicy fat made it addictive, although I wished the meat slices were thicker. After eating some shumai, I was quite full. The good thing about this place is that you can order without worrying about the price. Despite ordering a lot, the total bill came to around 3000 yen, which is quite reasonable.

Mixed Juice: A local drink from Osaka that has become popular nationwide due to its unique characteristics. It's not available in other restaurants or stores, so I end up drinking a lot of it. Kasu Udon: A simple menu item with strong local flavor and an intriguing name. It doesn't have a large portion size, but it's worth trying just for the novelty. Beef Skewers: I realized that meats other than chicken are also delicious. I was impressed by the attention to detail in the in-house cooking. While it's not very filling, it doesn't feel like a great deal.

Great value for money!

The grilled chicken is delicious!

All-you-can-eat and drink, great value for money.

I visited Torikizoku on Sanei Street. It was a Saturday night and although there weren't many people on Shinmichi Street, the restaurants on Shinmichi and Sanei Streets were quite crowded. Torikizoku was no exception, it was busy. I had to wait a bit for a table even though there were empty seats. The clientele seemed to be mostly young people, making me feel a bit out of place as an older gentleman. I ordered Torikizoku momo, liver with sauce, chicken nanban, cabbage, rice, and more. I initially ordered tsukune but it never arrived, and when I asked a staff member, they didn't seem to know what happened. Later, the manager told me they had run out. It would have been better if they had informed me earlier. It seems like they might need better training for the staff. Despite this, the prices at Torikizoku are still affordable. Overall, it was a decent meal.
