You can taste the taste of chicken. These days it's very hard to have a great checken. more

Love the chicken meat balls w. soy and also the grilled pork belly w. onions sauce on top.. Every skewers were grilled to perfection. Pros: food Cons: long wait if no reservations more

I love Aburiya Kinnosuke and I like Soba Totto, but this restaurant owned by the same people leaves something to be desired. The food is not as good as at its sister restaurant, and the atmosphere aims at being authentic, but the service is subpar for a good Japanese restaurant. The prices are a bit on the high side. I would say that one could certainly come here for a beer and have some yakitori if you are in the area, but I wouldn't bother planning your night out around this place. more

Being an ultimate foodie, I was really excited to be back at Yakitori Totto. But this last experience was very different from my first time there. Pros: Good food Cons: TERRIBLE service and attitude more

I've been a fairly regular to Yakitori Totto for more than a year, food is decent but I had THE worst service I have ever had last night. I went there 5:30pm when they open which almost guarantee a spot without wait. I was first seated at the bar spot closet to the entrance where you cannot really enjoy your dinner without hitting your right elbow every time you pick up your chopsticks. (the place was fairly empty since it just opened for the night) Pros: Decent food. It's great if you are Japanese? Cons: Very rude, unprofessional staff, long wait if you don't have reservation more

White not a seasoned yakitori expert, I was treated to an unforgettable dinner at this understated 2nd-floor dream, and was lucky enough to be joined by a real Japanese transplant to New York. The food might have been the best I've ever had in Manhattan, in the most authentic Tokyo setting. We were feeling adventurous and went for whatever was most obscure; the raw octopus was RIDICULOUSLY good, and the yakitoris were screaming with flavor and freshness. I'm struggling to think that you could go wrong with any dish at this restaurant. Pros: Fabulous food, great shochu cocktails, beautiful people, did I mention FABULOUS food? Cons: Difficult to get a table more

I lived in Japan for several years, and while I wouldn't call myself a yakitori expert, I know my way around a skewer of cooked meat well enough. Yakitori Totto was so bad that I felt compelled to create a city search account just to vent. The venue is small and not well ventilated. The wait staff was ""difficult"" to say the least... they turned down my requests for mustard, miso, and mayo because the food was so tastesless. I told them I didn't care about an extra charge, but they were all holier-than-thou about store policy. How about the policy that you give the customer what he wants? When they finally gave in to the miso request (my polite Japanese friend was doing the negotiating too), the quantity they gave me was about the size of a nickel and they charged me $1. They tried to charge us for rice that they never brought, even though we ordered it. And they weren't apologetic at all. Then let's talk about the food... even my Japanese friend thought the food was bland. At least they didn't overcook it. The value is absolutely terrible. You get one skewer for about $3-10. You walk away feeling hungry and cheated. I hope this place goes out of business, I really do. Giving them business is essentially telling them that it's OK to feed you overpriced food and treat you like... a piece of brown fecal matter. more

First time I've been to a Yakitori Restaurant, so while I may not be an expert I know what I like (I'm sure there are many other ppl out there who have never tried Yakitori and are curious just like I was). It was pretty tasty. The bulk of the menu is various parts of chicken barbarqued on a stick. Pros: Food, Service, Value for Money Cons: Gets very busy more

After a 45-minute wait (on a Tuesday night!), my girlfried and I were seated. We proceeded to order all sorts of yakitori. After twenty minutes, and watching those (all japanese) who came in after we did getting served, we asked our waitress if our food was on the way (even the cucumber!?) and only then did she tell us they were out of two of the items we ordered (and the two that we were really looking foward to eating!). We should have left then. The yakitori that did eventually arrive was ok. Some of it was undercooked. The whole experience was a drag and a waste of time and money. (My girlfriend felt that we may have been treated casually because we were not japanese. I have no reason to believe this was the case). We'll look for other places to try. more
