Toridoki, Japanese Yakitori Restaurant, Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur

Japanese cuisine is one of our favourite of all-time and whenever we find or hear of new restaurants that is newly opened, we would make our way there.

This is our second time visiting Toridoki and although their focus is chicken, in which they make use of all the parts for yakitori, we love how they grilled it to perfection, with its juiciness and its flavour and chewiness of its chicken still remain.

As we are not somewhat big-eaters, we ordered and shared. For starters, they offer their complimentary dish and the dish that we had on that day was Otoshi. This was a dish served cold.

Soon after, our dishes arrived, one by one. Nanaimo is an interesting dish as it's chinese yam. I was hesitant when my partner-in-crime decided to order it as I have never been a fan of yam at all. It's partly because I have never tasted one that I like at all.

This was definitely a surprise for me when I took a bite. I can taste the yam yet the flavour isn't over-powered that makes me want to stop eating after having first bite of yam. In fact, they mix it well with other seasoning ingredients that I fell in love eating Nanaimo from Toridoki. They have won my heart over a dish that I have never liked at all.

Nagaimo Garlic Butter RM 12.00

Our next favourite that we never fail to order when we come here is their Sasami, which has a hint of wasabi in it sprinkled with shredded seaweed.

Sasami (wasabi) RM5.00

Onigiri has been one of our favourite too. I love having my Onigiri charcoaled over the fire and when I eat it, I can taste the hint of burnt rice while covered with bonito flakes.

Camembert Cheese Yaki Onigiri RM 12.00

After that, we had Bonjiri, a chicken tail and known to be one of the richest taste parts, and Negima, chicken thigh and Japanese leek, which we ended up ordering 3 times. 

Bonjiri RM 5.00

Negima RM 5.00

I can't wait to make the next visit again and if you do not already know, they have started coming out with their monthly special menu promotion, which you should try if you are there.
