If you’ve ever been stuck in that endless group chat loop of “Saan tayo kakain?” we have the ultimate answer for you: Torikizoku.
Torikizoku, Japan’s famous yakitori giant, has officially opened its doors at Serendra in Bonifacio Global City. We recently dropped by to check out the hype, and it’s safe to say BGC just got a whole lot livelier (and much more budget-friendly).
InstagramOct 20, 2026Stepping into Torikizoku Philippines feels like being transported straight into a bustling, energetic yakitori-ya in Osaka. The atmosphere is warm, loud, and full of energy, the kind of place where you immediately kick back with friends and let the stress of the workday melt away. It’s unpretentious, welcoming, and designed specifically for spontaneous catch-ups.

The biggest game-changer though is their iconic single-price menu: literally everything at 190 pesos. You know what that means: no mental math, no split-bill headaches, and no holding back because an item looks too expensive. You can just point at whatever looks good and keep the dishes coming.
Here is what really stood out during our visit to Torikizoku:
- Made-to-Order Freshness: Nothing here sits under a heat lamp. Every skewer is prepped fresh daily and grilled right when you order, coming out to the table sizzling hot and juicy.
- Signature Yakitori: The chicken skewers are the star of the show. Perfect char, savory glazes, and generous portions.
- Drinks and Sides: Beyond skewers, they serve up hearty Japanese comfort food, highballs, and cold drinks, all still pegged at that magic 190-peso price tag.
In a dining scene like BGC where dinner bills can quickly spiral out of control, Torikizoku is truly a breath of fresh air. It offers top-notch Japanese comfort food and a genuine izakaya experience without requiring a special occasion or a massive budget making it a great place for gathering.
Whether you’re clocking out with coworkers or finally making those weekend plans happen, this is your sign to turn the group chat into an actual dinner table. Tara, Toriki Tayo!
Reservations are now open through www.torikizoku-ph.com. Torikizoku at Serendra BGC is open daily from 10AM to 2AM.
