Torikizoku (鳥貴族 三条木屋町店)

Randomly walked into this cheap and cozy yakitori chain packed to the rafters with buzzing boothfuls of local kids. The food and vibes are good, and the drinks affordable. Standouts were the juicy tsukune meatballs with cheese, charred and fatty bonjiri(chicken butt), and smokily succulent chicken & leek skewer. The tableside POS ordering system was a breeze to use and our food arrived in minutes. Best part? All food items are ¥280(exc. tax). I recommend this when you get tired of doing the more touristy restaurants, not just for the food, but also the authentic experience.

Taste: 4/5
