Newtorigin

This is one of my favorite places in Tokyo. When I was traveling for business, New Torigin was our usual first-night in Tokyo restaurant. It is a traditional tepenyaki and it’s delicious with good service. It’s a small place and you need to be diligent to find it as it’s in one of the many small all...eyways in Ginza. But well worth it. When I returned to Tokyo for vacation I made it one of our first stops. It did not disappoint.

The service speed is very slow, and it basically takes 40 minutes to roast birds. The taste is average or even worse than that of convenience stores, and the service attitude is poor, so they can't take care of me. This is the worst restaurant I have ever eaten in Japan. If you are hungry or in a hu...rry, don't go. The treatment you enjoy is basically zero.

This place is a hidden gem, I can't even count how many skewers we ate, but even with a beer it was about $40 for 2. The quality of everything was excellent, so good (particularly in a high end area like Ginza).

We went in search of Torigin (downstairs) saw a long queue and slipped in to New Torigin in the alley. We sat at the bar watching the cooks, which was a little smokey, but fun. The for was really good and very cheap (especially for Ginza).

The original Torigin had a long line so we went to this one. There are three floors - the first and second are for people who made reservations, and the third one is people who just dropped by. The seating on the third floor is more cramped, so I suggest making a reservation. The food was fantasti...c - we got the kamameshi and yakitori, and we paid less than 2000 yen each. It'll probably be under 3000 yen if you order a couple of drinks. They also make the food after you order it, so everything is extremely fresh. Would definitely visit again.
