The food was good. Nothing great, but definitely pork free friendly. Service was spot on for a Saturday lunch with an attentive staff. The chicken ramen broth was good. I do wish the taiyaki was bigger for something that's 7 dollars. I did ask for ice cream on the side for an extra 5. Karrage chicken was good. Nothing to right home about, but definitely hits the spot.

Tori Jiro was an exceptional experience for my birthday dinner. The servers were friendly, quick, and gave the best recs. We enjoyed every bite of each dish. We will be returning for more :)
So happy to have a restaurant that has Yakitori Omakase in Boston. My friends and I loved every course and the pairing drinks also incredible. I returned for the Tuna cutting event. It was a fun night. I liked the tuna skewer, and tuna ramen so much.
We love the vibe at this Japanese restaurant– The staffs are very friendly and attentive. It’s a perfect spot for hangout with friends. The food is generally on point, in overall, the experience was great. A wonderful place for a weekend meal!
I enjoyed this place more or less. The price was a bit steep. In this price range there are many good competitors (for example, YakitoriTotto etc.) which I wont compare them here since in the end of the day, it's the personal preference most of the time. The restaurant has japanese style/atmostphere. The menu was mainly Yakitori (as expected from the name) and a lot of appetizer. Not much of the main dishes to try out (in terms of types, such as Ramen and Curry, not the combinations (types of meats/toppings to put on)). Most of the yakitori were well seasoned and cooked. All of them came with smoke scent from the charcoal grill, which is good. Only a few of them, such as the Gyu Sagari (Hanger Steak), that was a bit overcooked, which makes it a little chewy, and the Tebasaki (Chicken Wings) that was a bit burnt at the ends. However, all of them are still very delicious and enjoyable. The servers were nice. One comment is that I felt that they were a bit too rush on taking away my empty plates. Maybe it was almost the closing time I was the only customer so they paid a lot of attention to me. That's ok, I do appreciate the timely service you provided, I just felt a a bit tight to have someone come and grab your plate as soon as you finish. Overall, I do enjoy the place and would recommend you to come try it out. The area also has many other restaurants in case this place is fully booked for the night.
Our visit encompassed welcoming staff and tasty food. The menu has a plethora of authentic offerings, as well as delicious cocktails - my Lycheetini was 5 star Lunch time was perfect, no need for a reservation. Something that was a pleasant surprise, were the French fries - not sure if that’s Japanese but they were AMAZING! I’d highly recommend and would visit again. There are two parking garages nearby, very rare is there parking in front.
