In this video, I visit Torien in New York City, a Michelin-starred yakitori restaurant focused almost entirely on chicken.
Yakitori is one of the simplest-looking styles of Japanese cooking: chicken grilled over charcoal and served on skewers. But at a Michelin-starred restaurant like Torien, that simplicity puts even more pressure on ingredient quality, precise grilling, seasoning, texture, and timing.
What makes this experience especially interesting is how different it feels from a casual yakitori spot. The meal is served counter-style, with each skewer grilled in front of you and served immediately, almost like a chicken-focused omakase.
So can grilled chicken skewers really justify a Michelin star in New York City? And how much variety can a restaurant create when so much of the menu is built around one ingredient?
Watch to see whether Michelin-starred yakitori lives up to the hype.
