Founded by Daisuke Onishi of VinVino and Vin Vie fame, Toratori-Ya is yet another winner from this seasoned Beijing F&B vet.
Onishi has readied a roster of reasonably priced, unpretentious and creative skewers for the intimate spot that suit late-night dining to a tee.
Be sure to try the tender RMB 10 chicken breast skewers, which are served with fruity plum sauce and a sprinkling of salty seaweed, or the equally delicious chicken meatball skewers (RMB 15 for a stick of three, each about half a mouthful). Then there’s the flame-kissed salmon fillet (RMB 38), which is impeccably fresh, and also the first we've seen in all of our yakitori forays. Finally, hearty and flavorful RMB 12 lamb skewers are exactly the right kind of well-priced snack to accompany a pint of icy Asahi.
