Located on the east side of Kitashinchi, in the Nishi Temma area along Midosuji Street, this restaurant is surprisingly spacious, with a capacity for over 100 people. On this particular day, it was being used for a drinking party, and we opted for the "Toriki Banquet" plan, which is available for groups of 8 or more, priced at 2980 yen per person for a 2-hour all-you-can-eat-and-drink experience (excluding tax). Reservations are required in advance, and all dishes are priced at 298 yen each, so ordering at least 10 items per person makes it worth the price. We started off with draft beer (Premium Malts) and were served a few selected dishes by the restaurant, including chicken skewers, fried chicken, edamame, and potato fries. Afterwards, we could freely order additional items like grilled chicken breast, salted chicken tail, pork belly in sauce, grilled chicken cartilage, salted chicken bone, grilled yam on a hot plate, drooling chicken with camembert croquette, hormone and green onion with ponzu sauce, and chicken and rice cooked in a pot. The grilled chicken was juicy and flavorful, while the grilled yam on a hot plate was particularly recommended. The chicken and rice cooked in a pot was also delicious. Although the drinks other than beer were not impressive, the service was quick and satisfying. The Toriki Banquet plan is a great deal, especially when there are many drinkers or big eaters in the group. It would be convenient if the reservation requirement and the minimum group size of 8 people were removed. Overall, this restaurant reaffirmed the high quality that Torikizoku chain restaurants are known for, and I would definitely consider visiting again.
