In Japanese, “Tori” means “Chicken” or “Bird” and “Shin” means “Spirit”. Torishin is a Japanese Yakitori (grilled chicken) restaurant, but it’s not just an ordinary restaurant. Torishin started its history in Tokyo, and earned compliments from our clients in the fiercely competitive Tokyo dining scene. Our dream was to share this experience with the Big Apple when we opened our first restaurant in 2007 on 1st Ave. Since then our reputation has grown and been rewarded with popular acclaim from diners and a covenanted Michelin star. Our mission is to provide the most authentic Tokyo style Yakitori to our guests using ingredients of uncompromisingly high quality. Hence our name, Torishin. Please visit us and experience the real Yakitori.
