“ Been here twice now and its always a great time. Its a nice chill environment and great for a small group to get together. We tend to order multiple rounds of food here and so it offers a lot of time to chat in between. The food here can be a bit pricey but its really good quality. The yakitori here is amazing! They do a really good job with flavor. So far all the side dishes we ordered have been really amazing too. The seared cod roe and washugyu tendon were my favorite. ”

“ Food here is delicious, comes out quick and there are so many unique menu items! Generally not a fan of egg/potato salad but this place does it right!!! Love the sour drinks here and the service is great! ”

“ One of my favorite izakaya places because the food here is so good. It's a place where I can bring friends and family and I can rely on Tori Ton to wow them. I love that they have a variety of types of food and drinks on the menu. I've been here a few times and there's still more to try. The prices are also reasonable so I'm able to enjoy and not feel guilty about spending a ton of money. The restaurant is quite cramped with tables very close to each other and somehow it feels homey and not overcrowded. The servers are friendly but because of how busy it is, service is on the slower side. However, izakaya places are meant to be a bonding time with people anyway. Just don't expect to have a quick in and out if you're eating here right before tight time reservations for something right afterwards. It's best to make reservations here in advance as this restaurant is very popular. Highly recommend for your izakaya cravings! ”

“ While it is not a huge location, Tori Ton is visible on King Street with a parking lot directly attached to it. There is limited seating inside and outside so reservations are always safest. This izakaya is quick and the employees are efficient. The inside is quaint and intimate, as you can be pretty close to the people around you. There is a good selection of food, mainly meats. We ordered the chicken karaage, chicken thigh, pork belly, pork wrapped premium rice, tsukune skewer, wagyu, salmon with ikura kamameshi, eel with ikura kamameshi, pork wrapped asparagus, and matcha warabi mochi. Everything was really tasty and our favorites were the eel, karaage, and wagyu. It was fun to try everything and super filling. There is also a drinks selection with a variety of sake available. ”

“ Tori Ton is a hidden gem in Honolulu that brings a slice of Japan right to your plate (and your glass!). From the moment you step in, the cozy interior transports you straight to an authentic Izakaya, complete with warm lighting, rustic wood accents, and filled with happy diners enjoying the vibe. The food is Oishi! Our top picks of the night were the Washugyu beef skewer--juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned--and the Iberian pork skewer, which had this melt-in-your-mouth quality that I'm still daydreaming about. Their menu is packed with small plates perfect for sharing, and the variety of alcohol--sake, shochu, beers--means there's something for everyone. It's an ideal spot for unwinding with friends while sampling delicious bites. The skewers do take a bit of time to prepare (30 minutes) and they give you ample warning but it's a great opportunity to sip on your frosty biru, enjoy a quality sake, or just relax and soak up the atmosphere. Order up other menu items while you wait, the potato salad is amazing and I enjoyed pairing the seared cod roe with the TKG which is a fresh raw egg over a bowl of hot steamy premium rice. Tori Ton is a great spot for anyone craving an authentic Izakaya experience without the plane ticket to Tokyo. We'll definitely be back for more skewers and good times! ”

“ Delicious but be sure to have a reservation because it can be quite a bit busy! Skewers are a nice way to allow everyone to pick and choose their selections, but can feel like it's in the spendy side. My notable favorite was the skewers with eggs and mochi! Least favorite were probably their classic bigger skewers. Nice and dim lighting location, again get yourself a reservation because it is a bit small! ”

“ The husband made reservations at Tori-Ton for dinner and everything was delicious! After looking over the menu, we ordered several items including the Seared Mackerel Sashimi, Kamameshi with Cod Roe, Mochi Cheese, Quail Eggs, Gizzards and Chicken Skin, and few other items. Food came out in a timely manner and everything tasted well; my favorites included the mochi and quail eggs. Staff was friendly and service was good. Atmosphere is lively and loud, so if you're looking for more a quiet dining experience, this won't be it. Overall, I had a great time and look forward to returning! ”

“ A part of my doesn't want to review this place because it feels I don't want to share it but it's too good to pass up! My husband and I have been here twice in one month. The first time we didn't make a reservation in which we were given a 3 stick limit. We loved each food item we had and the chicken negi was our favorite. We decided to come back again but this time with a reservation. We tried the following food items: chicken skin, quail eggs, abalone, chicken negi, pork mushroom, chicken quail egg, pork mochi cheese, and the chicken bowl. My favorites have to be the chicken negi and the pork quail egg. They're both so simple yet tasty! My tip is to order everything you want immediately because the second order we placed took significantly longer. Also in terms of vibe, I'd say it's fun and loud and social. If you're looking for a quiet night to converse and get to know someone, this wouldn't be the location. It's a good place to have a few bites and a drink with friends though! ”
