I was surprised that you get two skewers for this price. They were really big and delicious. Of course, it may not compare to a yakitori specialty restaurant, but the cost performance is great. I definitely want to come back. Additionally, I had cabbage with sesame oil, seasoned boiled egg, chicken cartilage salt, heart with garlic salt, grilled chicken tail, chicken breast with wasabi, chicken skin salt, grilled chicken, sakura mentaiko mayo udon, and premium Malt beer.

The fact that everything is 327 yen is great! The skewers are delicious, the drink options are plentiful, and it's a casual place to go drinking with friends. It's lively and has a real bar atmosphere. If I had to say one thing, I wish they had more dessert options. There are many locations so I will definitely go again. ⭐︎⭐︎

I went for the first time in a few years! I used to rely on Torikizoku a lot in the past! I went at 6:00 pm but it was almost full. However, there was only one staff member in the hall, so the food and drinks took a while to come out. The thigh meat with special sauce had a great volume! The meat was thick and delicious when combined with green onions. The skin and cartilage had too much salt and the meat was too tough. I used to be able to eat it all in the past. It's good when you want to eat a lot of yakitori at a cheap price and get full. Thank you for the meal!

I went out with three friends who get along well, and we ate a lot and drank a lot! We arrived around 6 pm on a weekday, so it was relatively quiet, which was nice. Since it's the Reiwa era now, there were many retro menus from the Heisei era, and we all tried the Red Meat Melon Chu-hi, which was really delicious! It was so good that it could be added to the regular menu.

A friend made a reservation at a certain restaurant, but for some reason the reservation was not secured... My friend was angry, saying it was impossible, but I managed to calm them down and we left the restaurant. It was a shame for my friend who had been looking forward to it. We decided to walk around the area while trying to make a reservation at other popular restaurants, but unfortunately, we were turned down at every place. Luckily, we were able to get a table at a favorite restaurant in the backstreets of Namba. We ended up going to "Torikizoku Namba" with three of us. The place was lively and packed with young people and office workers. We started with beer and sour drinks, and ordered various dishes. The skewers were large and satisfying, especially the juicy and tender chicken thigh meat. The chicken kamameshi was also delicious with a flavorful broth. The prices were reasonable, and the attentive service left a good impression. The only downside was the slippery floor, which was a bit dangerous. Overall, it was a filling and enjoyable meal.

I went to Toriki after a long time, but it was delicious! It's consistently good.

I trust other restaurants based on the standard of Torikizoku.

I went to Namba for a meal and visited the Nanba restaurant with my companion. We started with beer and enjoyed chicken dishes. The Momokizoku-yaki always has a satisfying volume whenever I eat it. It goes well with green onions. The seasoned boiled egg is perfectly cooked and flavorful. The crispy rice in the Kamameshi is also delicious. I tried the Taiwanese-style ramen for the first time. It seems to have minced chicken in it, and the spicy flavor is tasty. Thank you for the meal.

On May 6th, 2017, after finishing work on Saturday, I met up with my wife in Namba. It was past 10 PM. We went to a place where we had a beer to start. We ordered a variety of dishes like cabbage, vinegar motsu, cold tofu, and various grilled items. The fried chicken cartilage was not amazing, but the prices and taste were good. It was a good value for money. It was the end of Golden Week, but we were able to get a table without waiting. We enjoyed Chita Highball and a large glass of Kinmugi beer. Thank you for the meal.

Company year-end party from before 10 pm on Wednesday in December 2016. It was a course with all-you-can-drink and all-you-can-eat for 2800 yen. The restaurant was one that I had used personally a few times before, but it had been a while since my last visit. A considerable amount of food was served first, followed by ordering in a buffet style. There was voluminous food like kettle rice from the beginning. Eating and drinking a lot for 2800 yen for a two-hour party. It was truly impressive! The cost performance is excellent! It may not be exceptionally delicious, but it's not bad either, so I am satisfied. Especially considering the price. Thank you for the meal!

I went to Torikizoku, right in the middle of the city! They have a variety of yakitori, but the ones at Torikizoku are so big, right? From the speedy menu, I tried the Kimopon Vinegar. It was refreshing and delicious! The boiled egg was also tasty! The heart sauce is my favorite. It was delicious. The staff were efficient and wonderful! I was surprised to see many female customers, like groups of two girls! It's a great restaurant! I definitely want to go again!

After finishing work one day, I decided to go for a drink and wanted something quick, so I headed to the popular Torikizoku restaurant near Nankai Namba Station. It was a weekday late at night, and the restaurant was about 70-80% full. There were four of us, and we were seated at a slightly cramped table for four. The drink menu was extensive, with options like chu-hai with fruit pulp, which is great for those who are not strong with alcohol. We ordered drinks and were quickly recommended some speed menu items. We decided to order some Changja and cucumber. The dishes we ordered arrived promptly along with our drinks. I was surprised by how fast the food was served. Normally, yakitori takes time to cook, so it was nice to have other dishes arrive quickly. We ordered quite a bit of yakitori, but the bill was surprisingly affordable. Compared to other izakaya chains, the staff at Torikizoku are cheerful and energetic, and the service was satisfying. I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the meal~

On Monday, it's sandwich day, but I forgot to buy bread for sandwiches. Yesterday, I had shabu-shabu at a restaurant, so I didn't go shopping and ended up using thick slices of frozen bread, eggs, and ham to make a sandwich. I was surprised when my dog, Kero, ate the whole thing. Later in the evening, when I was closing the shop, I ran into Ikkel-san by chance under the building. He kindly offered to take me to Torikizoku again. To be continued...

Anyway, the yakitori at Torikizoku is attractive mainly because of its affordability. There are many yakitori restaurants out there, but so far, this is my favorite among the chain stores. I often go to the Nara branch, but the Namba branch has a similar vibe. Despite being cheap, the taste is not bad at all, just simply delicious! I love chicken so much that I could eat yakitori every day. Some restaurants may have a nice atmosphere but you might wonder how they can offer such low prices, but at Torikizoku, the portions are generous, especially the famous jumbo yakitori which is indeed large. 2 skewers for 294 yen. Every menu item is the same. I usually order the thigh with spice flavor or salt flavor. The wings may look different from the photo but they are delicious. The liver, cartilage (not yagen), and skin (the skin here is not crispy, just skin) are all tasty. The fried chicken (a mix of breast and thigh) is crispy and I always order it. The cabbage is free refill, so you can eat plenty of vegetables. It's a handy and wallet-friendly yakitori restaurant. Some people may not like chain stores, but there are many good things about them. The only downside is that it can be noisy. If you're looking for a calm atmosphere, it may not be the best choice. The Nara branch, especially, has many young customers, so it can feel a bit loud. They also allow smoking, so if you prefer a quiet and calm environment, it may not be recommended. However, I personally like the energetic and friendly service from the staff. The young staff members work happily together and their smiles are nice. I enjoy the positive energy, so I like it. By the way, for the Nara branch... if you get off at Kintetsu Nara Station and walk along Konishi Sakura Street, you will see a yellow sign, so you will easily find it.

I went to Torikizoku Nanba branch, where everything is priced at 280 yen, and ordered various items such as eggplant pickles, chicken cartilage, gizzard, cheese tsukune, and the surprisingly large Momokizoku yakitori. The yakitori was unexpectedly tender, especially the triangle (bonjiri) and skin with tare sauce. The flavors were not too heavy, making it easy to enjoy without getting tired of them. The space was comfortable, and I also bought the "Tricky Strap" for 280 yen on my way out. I loved the way the yakitori was cooked and seasoned, so I would definitely like to visit Torikizoku again without having to check prices each time.

I went to Toriki after a long time, about 3 years. I used to go there a lot, but I stopped drinking and going out in Osaka, so it's been a while. I thought it might be crowded on a Friday night, but luckily we got in pretty quickly. It felt great to be back in that atmosphere after so long. Ham-chan had a light beer, and I had grapefruit juice. The new menu item, Chanja, was a hit! We also had cabbage platter, heart skewers, grilled chicken thigh with spices, highball, mixed juice, grilled chicken thigh sauce, fried chicken, and chicken rice in a pot. The heart skewers were cooked perfectly! Yum yum. The sauce for the grilled chicken thigh was a bit burnt, which was disappointing. And it seems like the size of the grilled chicken thigh has gotten smaller compared to before, but I guess they're trying their best while keeping the price the same. The fried chicken was delicious with thigh meat. I didn't take a photo, but of course, we finished with the chicken rice in a pot. It was still as tasty as ever. We ate until we were full, and it cost us around 3000 yen for the two of us. It's a pretty good deal for an izakaya! Ham-chan was happy to be back at an izakaya after a long time, and I may not drink, but the food was delicious, and I was very satisfied.

We went to Minami with our family and on the way back, we couldn't decide where to eat, so we ended up going to Torikizoku as usual for some drinks and food. It's convenient because there are many branches and we always see the store wherever we go. We were allowed to enter this time even though there was a reservation for a group. The staff at this branch seemed particularly energetic. The food came out quickly, and the yakitori seemed slightly larger than usual (maybe it's just my imagination). At one point, the shochu highball machine wasn't working properly, so we couldn't order, but they apologized and explained the situation nicely, so we didn't mind. Torikizoku is a favorite restaurant for our family who loves chicken. "Revisit" Today, on May 28th (last time was May 9th), we went to the same branch again. It was almost full, but we were seated quickly. We ordered the usual menu, had a light toast, and the cabbage dish arrived promptly. However, the grilled items took a while to arrive, and when they finally did, they were slightly overcooked (maybe because the perfectly cooked ones last time made these seem bigger?). We were quite hungry, so we enjoyed the food reasonably well. We ordered additional grilled items, which also arrived, but the first item we ordered, the fried chicken, was late and when it came, it seemed a bit over-fried. It would probably taste good if eaten normally, but compared to the incredibly delicious one last time, it was a bit disappointing (hence the slight change in evaluation). I wonder if the person grilling changed? I hope the next time we go, we'll have the most delicious dishes again.
