Got a recommendation for this spot from a friend who spent years in the midtown east area, and it is definitely a hidden gem. It definitely gets busy at dinner time but we were able to grab two seats at the counter. This was actually perfect because we got to watch them cook the food right in front of us! I got a lychee martini, which was really good! Here's all the small plates we ordered- short rib (we had to order seconds, this was to die for)- gyoza- chicken breast w scallion- king oyster mushroom- asparagus - zucchini This is the perfect place if you're looking to try a bunch of different dishes or share with a group!

Loved the food and the vibes at this Japanese izakaya. Great spot for a low key date or casual food and drinks with a few friends.The meals here are very shareable. True to form, the food comes out mostly on skewers, and it's a good idea to order a wide variety of items from the menu. The grilled veggies, fried mochi, and various meats were all delicious.Depending on the skewer, many items are under $10, so it's also a pretty cheap meal by NYC standards. Definitely worth checking out!

Basement Izakaya with a windowed kitchen allowing you to see all the action. We shared the chicken karaage and a few different skewers. The fried chicken was crispy and our favorite item. For skewers, we had the sardines, eggplant, zucchini, and chicken. There were so many varieties of chicken skewers. My favorite skewer was the sardines. Service was attentive and most of the food came out quickly. Pretty pricey for small bites, but I suppose the location and the late hours are factored into the cost.

I order a ton of food so you don't have to. Skip the Kushikatsu (fried skewers). I tried one of each, and they were overly breaded. The scallop was especially dry.However, the yakitori is a must-try! The shishamo (smelt) was delicious, though a bit too salty. I loved the chicken wings, drumsticks, skin, thighs, and gizzards. My top picks were the enoki wrapped in pork belly, king oyster mushroom, and short rib--absolutely amazing! Avoid the grilled squid; it was dry and tough. Don't bother with the chicken karaage, the sauce was mid.I'm usually not a fan of Toppokki, but this was hands down the best I've ever had--spicy, chewy, and delicious! You can't go wrong with the Gyunabe, a sliced beef stew. It's so comforting!They only allow you to sample the sake if you purchase the entire bottle.

Small, busy space in a typical basement restaurant of an old pre-war walkup.Service was excellent here! Sat at the bar and the waitress asked if it was my first time there. Must have been written on my forehead, rightfully so. Told her it was and asked her to just bring me some of their best items. She asked how hungry I was so she could bring me the right amount. Three cocktails, numerous delicious small bites, and other treats later I was very content.Worth the price of admission.

Toribar has been my go to izakaya for a filling but quick dinner. It's perfect for a pre-game, not too heavy on the stomach, and a crowd pleaser for anyone who loves Asian food. I will have to say the squid (which is my favorite) shrank in size over the years. But other than that, the food is delicious and it is reliable!

Great Izakaya in the midtown area! The kitchen is viewable behind a glass wall which is cool - you can sometimes see the fire explode when they are cooking the skewers! Vibe is great - they play good music and the lighting is perfect - not too bright and not too dim. My favorite skewer here is the Chicken Meatball ($6) and the Chicken Thigh with Yuzukosho ($4.50). I always get the Pork Belly Okonomiyaki ($20) and the Tako Wasabi ($10). They have happy hour during the week till 7PM with $5 Kirin Beers in a nice cold mug. They are open late which is nice - seating can be limited during peak hours and the tab builds up easily, but it's still a solid spot that I come back to often!

The once delicious Toribar has gone since the guy cooked skewers left his job. Everything was just okay and nothing too special.

One of my memorable experiences here was seeing Jimmy O. Yang and Awkafina a few tables down from us. With that detour down memory lane aside, I really like coming here as a casual spot to grub on meat skewers and appetizers, while drinking some beers.You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I'd suggest to you the Tako Wasabi, Chicken Karaage, and Chicken Thigh with Yuzukosho.They open late, with Friday and Saturday closing at 3 a.m. Perfect place to stop by, if you're out late and find yourself stumbling around midtown.
