Torikizoku has officially opened its first Singapore outlet at VivoCity, putting Japan’s yakitori chain in one of the easiest malls to reach from HarbourFront MRT and Sentosa. The brand says it started in Osaka in 1985 and has grown to more than 700 stores in Japan, so its Singapore launch will naturally draw diners who already know the name from holidays.
The practical detail is simple: the outlet is at VivoCity #01-104/105, 1 HarbourFront Walk, Singapore 098585. Torikizoku lists daily operating hours from 11am to 10pm, with last order at 9.30pm. That makes it workable for lunch, an early dinner before a Sentosa evening, or a casual post-work meal near the Circle Line and North-East Line interchange.
What To Expect
Torikizoku’s pitch is yakitori without turning the meal into a formal tasting-menu occasion. Diners should expect skewers, grilled items and Japanese casual-restaurant pacing rather than a quiet fine-dining room. That is useful at VivoCity, where groups often include families, tourists, office workers and friends meeting before crossing to Sentosa.
Because it is the first Singapore branch, early queues are likely during meal times. If the goal is to try a broad spread of skewers, go with a small group and order in waves so grilled items do not sit on the table too long.
- Address: VivoCity #01-104/105, 1 HarbourFront Walk.
- Opening hours listed by Torikizoku: 11am to 10pm daily.
- Last order: 9.30pm.
- Best fit: casual Japanese meals, small groups and pre-Sentosa dining.
How To Plan
VivoCity gives the outlet a strong transport advantage. HarbourFront MRT is directly connected, taxis and private-hire rides have clear mall drop-off points, and Sentosa visitors can add the meal before or after island plans. That said, VivoCity can be heavy at weekends, so a weekday lunch or early dinner is the calmer first visit.
