The story
Torisawa22 brings the craft of Tokyo-style yakitori to Bangkok. The restaurant opened its doors in the Thai capital after building a following in Tokyo, where it first gained attention in 2011. This isn’t a casual skewer joint — it is a dedicated yakitori omakase experience, where every element of the meal is paced and presented with intention.
The man behind the grill is Chef Kondo, whose precision and deep understanding of chicken define the meal here. He honed his skills in Michelin-starred kitchens before bringing his own vision to life. At Torisawa22, each cut of chicken is handled differently — sliced, skewered, and grilled according to its texture and fat content. The charcoal fire is carefully calibrated to coax out maximum flavor, giving each piece a smoky char while keeping the meat tender and juicy.
The only way to eat here is the omakase course. The menu focuses entirely on yakitori, with each skewer arriving one after another in a thoughtfully sequenced procession. Customers praise the food consistently, with reviewers calling it the best omakase yakitori in the city.
The dining space blends sleek Tokyo aesthetics with a warm, relaxed atmosphere. It suits both business dinners and romantic evenings, with a curated selection of sake to match the grilled fare. The setting is refined but never stiff.
Torisawa22’s quality has been recognized by the Michelin guide, and the restaurant holds a current Michelin Recommended badge — a reflection of Chef Kondo’s mastery in elevating yakitori to a fine-dining level. For anyone serious about yakitori in Bangkok, this is a genuine destination.
