Yakitori Totto – Japanese
Tucked away in an intimate, second-floor hideaway, this bustling yakitori den captures the soul of a Tokyo alleyway through the intoxicating aroma of binchotan charcoal and the rhythmic sizzle of the open grill. Masterful chefs turn skewers of succulent chicken and seasonal vegetables over glowing embers, delivering charred, umami-rich bites to diners immersed in the warm, wood-lined glow of a true urban sanctuary.

What diners are saying
Diners rave about this lively NYC spot for its authentic, smoky yakitori, highlighting perfectly grilled skewers with a crispy char and juicy interior. Standout dishes include the chicken knee bones, chicken oyster, tender kalbi don, and the highly praised agedashi tofu, though some found the chicken skin too chewy. While the atmosphere is vibrant and the service generally attentive and friendly, some guests noted feeling rushed during peak times or found the small space noisy.
