Nice looking place but unfortunately the food was just average.Pricing is a bit expensive for the amount of food that you get.I’ve been on the lookout for good Japanese food for close to a year now from having returned from holidaying in the US and have not found anywhere good apart from Mikazuki in Parramatta.You can walk to this place from Newtown station but might take you a bit of time so you’re better off to drive and try and find parking somewhere.Sake was good.
Some of the best sushi and sake I have had. Cool, cosy, and friendly, and the staff always make sure you are taken care of. I even saw David Gallop here once.
Place… very ordinary… Not airconned… And kids aren’t allowed even tho It’s no fine dining. Food… is ok… bit pricey for that kind of venue. Drinks. Decent selection of beers and sake… also overpriced for a non air conditioned cranky space.
Great food and sake selectionSushi sashimi and tempura were deliciusWill definitely go back for more .The staff is great and the service is professional but at the same time very relaxed and friendlyI would highly recommend this venue especially for a pre show drink and bite if going to the Enmore theatre or a quite date
Tori Bar is the reinvention of Enmore Road’s old Bar Racuda, situated rght across from the theatre. Changing the theme significantly, Tori Bar offers predominantly Yakitori alongside some other Japanese options which is a sharp change from the old Italian. The place is decked out with red lanterns and countless sake bottles leaving it colorfully dim-lit. Outside of the milder options, Tori Bar delightfully also offers a few of the more traditional offerings like chicken soft bone and hearts. The chicken tsukune is essentially a chicken kofta, blended with some gentle seasonings and served with a cooked yolk at room temp. Its tender but a slight bit crumbly, however the overall texture is relatively fine. The chicken cartilage is palatable. It is seasoned in a light dressing and still contains some meat and is simply grilled with no other accompaniments. King oyster mushroom is flavourful and meaty as expected, however, the flavours tend to diminish once it cools, so tuck into this one once it arrives. The chicken hearts are firm but tender, with a relatively mild flavour that’s easily enjoyable to those new to other edible parts of animals. I also really recommend dipping the hearts into yolk if you also order the tsukune. The chicken wing is a little sticky and sadly uncrisp. Chicken skin is the real winner and easily deserves a full fledged place on the regular menu. Some parts are crispy and some chewy, and as expected – there is solid flavour. As Tori Bar uses an electric grill, it does miss out on the smoky element you get from charcoal grill yakitori. The place has got all the bones for a decent vibe, but during the weekend, the play list is a little off, low in volume from speakers only at the front of bar, as such, leave it feeling a little hollow. Its got a very decent but basic wine list, and rightly so, as its focus here is sake and beer. Dining with two – expect $80 plus for your average meal. crumbs-au.com
