Born in 2007 and also known as "Little Door Yakitori", Toriyasu is still a very good Japanese yakitori restaurant specializing in chicken skewers, grilled seafood, and dishes like jiaozi and udon. And of course, drinks. Around 2025, they changed owners, which can be a tricky move, but we've visited several times and the vibe is still strong. Customers are generaly salaryman coming in after a long day's work, but also couples on dates and just people from the neighborhood. The new owner is there all the time and super friendly and talkative. The place can be tough to find. Walk north on Huichuan Lu and look for a slatted wood facade with a hobbit-sized entrance. Tip: go for the "half and half" beer which is half Asahi Black and half Asahi Draft. Expect to pay 100-150rmb pp to eat and drink, depending on what you order (could go higher).
