Thank you always for the delicious and affordable Torikizoku. I used to work part-time there during my student days and I should have tried all the menu items, but every time I go back there seems to be new dishes I haven't tried before! I will definitely visit again.

I ordered various things besides the beef skirt, but I really like the beef skirt. It's crispy and juicy when grilled. I love the sizzling sound of the oil! Eating it hot off the grill is the best. It's delicious. Unfortunately, I ended up eating alone because others didn't like it. (´；ω；｀) lol

On a regular day off, two of us wanted to drink early, so we searched and found this place. It opens at 3 pm. It's located next to a building that is an anime pilgrimage site, and they have also expanded into this building. There were no other customers, but it's a popular place with only small seats for two people. After us, more pairs and solo customers kept coming in. We ordered: Edamame (a bit soft), Nagaimo Teppanyaki (reliable), Tebasaki Banzai (crispy skin), Torikizoku Momotare (reliable), Tsukune Cheese (a bit pricey at 180 yen per stick), Hikare (for kamameshi), and Kamameshi (reliable). We drank: Mega Kinmugi Beer x2 (clean foam, nice mug), Mega Lemon Sour x2 (too sweet), Mega Jim Beam x2 (tastes like medicine), and Kakuhai Highball x4 (light but okay). We drank quite a bit. The men's restroom had 2 small stalls and 1 large stall, while the women's restroom had 3 private stalls. A female-friendly establishment. We're heading to the next bar for shochu.

I love Torikizoku so much that I find myself going there about twice a month without even realizing it. My favorite is the strawberry milk! Some say it's the most delicious. And the Camembert cheese mochi-like dish is just the best! I want to go again soon.

Torikizoku Ikebukuro Sunshine Street Store ■ 2021/11 An izakaya chain restaurant located in Ikebukuro on Sunshine Street in a mixed-use building on the 3rd floor. Operating hours are from 17:00 to 25:00 (last order at 24:30), closed only during the year-end and New Year holidays. I have visited multiple times in the past, usually for a second round, so I tend to go when I'm already a bit tipsy. As a result, I often forget to take photos or write reviews. However, this time I remember a bit, so I decided to write about it. Opened in 2010, the interior is not too old but slightly dim, making it a bit hard to navigate. There are many tables for 4-6 people, and some semi-private rooms as well. I was guided to a private room. I visited after 9:00 PM, and surprisingly, more than 50% of the seats were occupied. The clientele is mostly young. I ordered thick rolled omelette, fried pasta, a double on the rocks whiskey (NIKKA), a whiskey bottle (NIKKA), and beer. The fried pasta tasted like Baby Star Ramen, focusing more on texture than flavor, probably meant as a snack. The thick rolled omelette had a moderate sweetness and was simply delicious. The alcohol was standard. As it was close to the last order, I ordered a bottle of whiskey to take home. While I have eaten at other Torikizoku branches before, I always visit this one for a second round and enter already full, so I have no memory of the food. Next time, I would like to try their chicken dishes.

I went to Torikizoku for the first time, a restaurant that I often see around. I noticed that the menu doesn't have prices listed, but everything is actually 298 yen each (excluding tax). I thought the yakitori was a bit more expensive than I expected... The taste was better than I thought though. Is this considered expensive or cheap??

I went to Ikebukuro after a long time. The East exit area has changed a lot in the 20 years since I last visited, which surprised me. The old public hall that I used to visit frequently is no longer there and has been rebuilt. I entered Torikizoku Ikebukuro Sunshine Street store. It seems to be a favorite place for my son. It is more of an izakaya chain than a yakitori restaurant. The fact that they have a fixed price menu may appeal to young people. The address is 1-20-6 Plaza Inn Ikebukuro 3F, Toshima-ku, Tokyo. It's a bit inconvenient being on a higher floor, but if it reflects the low prices, it's worth it. The yakitori itself is average but large. And cheap. I was amazed to hear that the price is 298 yen for two skewers.

In October, the menu was updated with the release of a Mega Jockey Highball, along with a Mega Jockey for Kinmugi. The Mega Jockey Highball had a lot of ice, but the portion was not actually "mega." For food, they had spicy grilled bone-in mackerel, daikon salad with spicy cod roe mayo and seaweed, and a unique wonton dish. They also had clam ramen, a leek and bonito flakes salad, and cheese-topped chicken skewers. The review noted cost-saving efforts and challenges with staffing, but overall saw effort from the staff. However, there were discrepancies between the menu and actual dishes, leading to a lower rating for this visit at the restaurant.

I ordered kamameshi and it came out in 1 minute, which surprised me! I prefer getting a Mega Jug because soft drinks seem overpriced with the uniform pricing! The beer and oolong tea are priced the same, but the beer has more quantity, which is a bit disappointing.

Delicious and affordable.

I'm happy with the kama-meshi and jumbo yakitori for 280 yen! It's friendly on my wallet and the taste is pretty good too!! I always use it! Thank you again!

I went to Torikizoku again!! I usually eat the same things, but this time I tried Kinmugi (large) for the first time!! A friend told me it's easy to drink if it's Kinmugi, so I tried it, but I didn't like it... (；▽；) However, it was huge!! It looked like it was about 1.5 times the size. I also tried Raspberry Milk for the first time! It was basically strawberry milk haha. I will continue to visit this place!

Anyway, it's really cheap!! Everything was 300 yen, I think? The yakitori size is great for the price and very satisfying! (*^ω^*) Cabbage is all-you-can-eat, and the staff is energetic and friendly! It's a casual izakaya you can easily visit. The desserts were delicious too! (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

I visited Torikizoku with a high school friend on August 4th. The staff were energetic and efficient. We started with drinks and unlimited cabbage, which was a pleasant surprise. They also provided salad oil and mayonnaise. The menu had a variety of yakitori and side dishes, as well as a wide selection of drinks. I heard they also offer all-you-can-eat parties, which I would like to try in the future.

Student and Salaryman's ally!!

It stood out in yellow and had a sign that said "Not doing business, but being conceited." Inside the store The interior was unified in wood tones, giving a warm feeling. The photo was taken around 11 o'clock, and the store was lively and full when we entered. 1. Who and for what purpose did you go with? I went to drink with a friend from college whom I hadn't seen in a while. Since the next day was a holiday, we decided to meet after work on Wednesday. My friend had work the next day (laughs). We decided to visit Torikizoku because it was featured in an economic article. It was my first time at Torikizoku. I called for a reservation around 6:30 pm on the day of, but all 8 Torikizoku stores in Ikebukuro were fully booked. Despite it being a Wednesday, not being able to reserve at an izakaya made me even more curious. In the end, we decided to visit the store without a reservation. 2. Access from the station We met at Ikebukuro East Exit and set off. First, we crossed the pedestrian crossing to the Mitsubishi Tokyo UFJ Bank side after leaving the East Exit. After crossing the pedestrian crossing, we turned left and walked about 300m. When Starbucks comes into view on the right, we turned left at the intersection in front of Starbucks. The store is on the 3rd floor of this building right next to the intersection. 3. Atmosphere & Table Coordination The walls and tables were unified in wood tones and bright colors, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The photo was taken when we left the store around 11 o'clock, and the store was full when we entered. It's rare for an izakaya to be full on a Wednesday. It's no wonder it was featured in an economic article. 4. Menu The number of menu items was not large, but there was a wide variety of yakitori. Furthermore, all items were priced at 280 yen (excluding tax), making it easy to order. There was a whole page of yakitori on the menu. The first page looked delicious, so we ordered the Momo Kizoku Yaki. On the second page, I was drawn to the Cheese Tsukune Yakitori. The menu was about this much, and I feel like it could be a fatal blow for those who don't like yakitori. However, for 280 yen, it was quite good. This is the drink menu. The variety is not extensive, but considering the uniform price of 280 yen, it's understandable. 5. Drinks We toasted with beer as usual. It was nicely chilled. My wife doesn't know that I drink after work (laughs). 6. Otoshi We didn't receive an otoshi, but I think it's great that you can choose your favorite appetizer from the menu. 7. Food We mainly ordered yakitori. Since it was 280 yen for 2 skewers, we couldn't help but order more. Yakitori 1: Momo Kizoku Yaki I ordered this because the menu photo looked delicious. Yakitori 2: Cheese Tsukune Yakitori 3: Mune Niku Washoku Dashi Yaki Yakitori 4: Tsukune Shio Yakitori 5: I forgot about this one We also had the subtly listed Stuffed Bell Pepper from the menu. It wasn't as good as what my wife makes, but it was delicious. I couldn't help but order the Torikama Meshi. I was surprised that you could order Torikama Meshi for 280 yen. It's about 1.5 cups of tea worth of rice, which is just right for one person. Finally, we had Shirasu Ochazuke as a closing dish. Ochazuke as a finishing touch is the best. My friend ordered ramen. 8. Summary - - -

[January 2015] First visit to Torikizoku (for 2 people) After leaving Tsukada Farm, we were thinking about where to go next, and this place came up in our conversation. It was actually my first time visiting this chain restaurant, Torikizoku. This particular location has been open for 5 years, offering yakitori for 280 yen each, which they have been doing for a long time. The price does not include consumption tax, so it comes out to 302 yen each. Depending on the item, it can be a good deal or not. My friend, who seems to be wise, ordered a Yamazaki highball, which came in a slim metal tumbler. They adjust the quantity to keep the price the same. Even though I thought my friend was already full, they ordered hormone negi with ponzu sauce and chicken skin yakitori. They are really dedicated to consuming purines. For some reason, there is no image of these items, so here is a picture of the eggplant pickles. I focused on my highball, switching to Yamazaki highball at one point, which was quite strong. It went well with the seasoned egg. The atmosphere was a bit loud with what seemed like a group of students, but this place might be worth visiting again. I might try going alone next time. We had 10 items for 3020 yen for the two of us. Thank you for the meal. [October 2010] Initial visit to the same restaurant ⇒ Ended up not visiting for over 4 years. Tomorrow, October 19th, a 280 yen yakitori restaurant called Torikizoku will open in Ikebukuro East Exit. On October 19th (Tuesday) and 20th (Wednesday), they are having a grand opening campaign with all items at half price! (During the campaign period, the business hours are from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM) Website ⇒ http://www.torikizoku.co.jp/shops/detail/200 Isn't it amazing that all appetizers and drinks will be half price, only 140 yen? Including tax, it's the same price as a canned chu-hi at a convenience store, 147 yen. I haven't been to a Torikizoku-affiliated restaurant yet. Plus, this Sunshine Street location is apparently the 200th store. (I didn't realize there were that many) I want to go since it's half price, but I might have to finish work early to make it there. I'll attach an image of the flyer for now. I've noticed that there are many chain restaurants, like Ichigeki Izakaya (Yoroi no Takumi series), that are fulfilling the needs of the masses, so I have high hopes. Pin Visit Recently visited this place for the first time... Torikizoku Last time, I had quite a bit to drink before coming here, so I thought I'd visit as the second place today. I ordered a Yamazaki highball. Hmm, it's really strong. They serve it in a slim metal tumbler. My friend ordered tororo yaki. I like this kind of dish. Sometimes you can find something similar called pinpin yaki at izakayas, but they don't offer it for 300 yen. It had squid or something similar with a bit of filling, mayo, and seaweed. This is a good snack. So, I ended up having three drinks. The next day, I came back again. This time, it was the second place. I ordered a Kakuhai highball. It seems like they pour it up to about 7/10 of the glass as standard. It doesn't look as appetizing if the highball isn't filled to the top, right? I hadn't tried the yakitori yet, even though it was my third visit, so I ordered a grilled dish. Let's go for the momogizoku yaki with a spicy flavor. It took about 10 minutes to arrive. And when it did... it was huge! It's hard to tell from the photo, so I placed a toothpick next to it. It looks like it's about 1.5 to 2 times the amount of regular yakitori places. The meat was tender and quite tasty. The Kakuhai went down smoothly. Then, without much of a break, the chicken and shiso leaf tempura arrived. I'm not sure, but the plum sauce seemed to be sweeter than expected, more like a sweet chili sauce? I think it would be better if it was more salty here. I'll have a Yamazaki highball to dry out my mouth. I'm curious about the limited sour drinks at the store, but I still want a highball. After having another drink, the place was quite crowded. The staff and customers seemed to be mostly students, and I started to feel a bit out of place. Despite being able to drink more, we decided to leave. Maybe it's better to come with more than two people at this place? The yakitori is big, so maybe it's easier to enjoy with more people.

Ikebukuro Station is about 7-8 minutes away. On Sunshine 60 Street, in a mixed-use building on the 3rd floor, there is a Torikizoku restaurant. I always wanted to go there, but it's usually crowded with people waiting for the elevator, so I often give up (laughs). This day, the weather was bad and it was a Sunday, so I mustered up the courage to go, and we were seated right away. The staff were very energetic and welcoming. [Atmosphere] Mostly booth seating with a few counter seats. The restaurant is spacious and the booths are not completely closed off to the ceiling, giving a sense of openness. The staff are very energetic! If you are soft-spoken or have a thin voice, you might need to make an effort to communicate (laughs). [Food] Torikizoku offers dishes for 280 yen each. Their specialty is chicken dishes. As we weren't planning on drinking heavily today, we ordered the following: Cabbage Plate (all-you-can-eat), Chicken Thigh, Chicken Cartilage, Chicken Tail, and Chicken White Soup Noodles. It was a feast of chicken! The food was delicious and satisfying, especially considering the low price of 280 yen per dish. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, so the service was prompt and the staff were attentive. I want to try the Chicken Rice Bowl next time! I will definitely visit again.
