Yakitori Tori ShinConsistently greatI've been here a number of times when I have friends who are visiting from out of town - and have always had a good experience. The yakitori is really well done and prepared, and my favorites are the aorta, gizzard, chicken meatballs, and the chicken oyster. First-timers should try for the omakase menu (or chef's selection) which is reasonably priced and includes a selection from the 'special skewer' section. Generally you are not able to choose the skewers even then, although you are allowed to make requests (although it is not guaranteed that they will be able to accomodate you) and tell the chef what you don't eat. They have a good selection of sake as well to complement your meal. In short, go with an open mind and empty stomach!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazingThis is my second visit to Tori Shin and it was even better than the first. This is some of the greatest food and sake that I have ever had, and the service is perfect. It's definitely pricey, but well worth the expense. And I rarely say that.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome piece of Tokyo in NYCExcellent food! One of the best Yakitori places I have eaten in many countries. Service is good.
