Japanese people don’t wait for a three-day weekend to enjoy food on a stick! Yakitori Totto, located in the theater district, brings the traditional “grilled chicken” home-cooked meal to a superior level. The menu offers a variety of more than 35 different kinds of skewers, grilled to perfection on a hot charcoal grill. The charcoal factor makes all the difference between a tasteless piece of food on a stick and the delicious aroma of roasted meat. If you are not familiar with the Yakitori concept and get lost in the abundant menu, the staff at Totto is always there to help and recommend their favorite dish. Along with the classics like Tsukune (ground chicken glazed with sweet tare sauce) or Pirikara mune niku (chicken breast with spicy red paste), Yakitori Totto also offers a path to originality for curious foodies (soft knee bone for instance) or vegetarian choices. The lunch menu has you choose from several rice bowls (Donburi) topped with beef, chicken or eggs, and served with a miso soup and a salad for under $11. Above all, it is the feeling of a simple, natural home cooked meal that makes you want to come back every week to explore the seemingly endless selection.
Assortment of skewers, tori dango & kyona to jyako
Totto’s savory dishes complement their signature skewers. Kyona To Jyako, greens and deep-fried small fish salad with mild half-raw egg, has huge volume. (left) One of the original dishes is Tori Dango, a steamed ball of juicy ground chicken and coated in soft, marinated rice. (top right)
