Location: D3-G3- No. 1, Publika Dutamas, 1, Jln Dutamas 1, Solaris Dutamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Publika Shopping Gallery
The menu covers yakitori skewers using various chicken parts including thigh (momo), breast, skin, wing, heart, liver, gizzard, cartilage, and tail, alongside vegetable skewers including leek, shiitake, and gingko nuts. The grilling uses binchotan charcoal for clean, high-heat cooking that produces a smoky exterior while keeping the interior juicy. Skewers are salted (shio) or sauced (tare) depending on the cut, following traditional yakitori conventions. Side dishes include tsukune (chicken meatball), oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl), and cold tofu. Beverages cover sake, shochu, Japanese beer, and highball.
Skewers are priced from RM6 to RM12 each, with a typical meal of 8-10 skewers costing RM60-100. The restaurant is busiest during dinner service, particularly on weekends. The yakitori format is inherently social, with skewers arriving continuously and encouraging extended, convivial dining. The focus on specific chicken parts and precise grilling technique distinguishes Toritama from general Japanese restaurants.
