Torigoya

On the second floor of Weller Court, this longtime yakitori joint serves a small, but well-executed menu of chicken skewers, appetizers and rice bowls alongside a large sake and beer list. Grilled over binchotan charcoal, the tender, juicy chicken parts taste best when paired with a dash of hot mustard, or maybe some ginger and green onion paste. The later hours (Torigoya stays open until 11pm on weekends) make this cozy spot perfect for an excellent booze-laced late-night meal in Little Tokyo.
