About this place
Chicken nanban, generously topped with tartar sauce, is a satisfying choice when you want a hearty meal. Diners have praised the tartar sauce’s generous mix of ingredients and how well it goes with rice; the set-meal menu includes chicken nanban with plenty of the house-made sauce. One of the appealing things about Torigin Kyobashi is that you can either share several small plates izakaya-style or make a single dish the centrepiece of a set meal.
One diner recalled that the crisp texture of the chicken-skin gyoza paired especially well with beer. The shrimp and chicken ajillo, served with baguette, has also prompted a reviewer's comment that it made them want wine. It works as a drinking snack or as a warm dish to add to the table. Other hot options include chicken and mushrooms baked in foil and a spicy stir-fry of chicken offal and vegetables.
Some diners have enjoyed the chicken sashimi platter, and the menu lists sashimi made with chicken breast and seared thigh. A guest who tried a course that included yakitori singled out the tsukune—chicken meatballs—as particularly memorable, making this a good option for a group meal planned around a reservation. The Kyobashi branch offers table service and dine-in meals. Depending on your mood, you can share small plates focused on chicken or make a set meal your main event.
