Toriciya delivers a genuine slice of Tokyo in Cammeray, pairing smoky charcoal yakitori with pristine cuts of raw sashimi. Regulars pack the cozy counter and communal wooden tables for rare dual-craft execution—skewers of grilled wagyu rib fingers and thick-cut ox tongue land alongside sweet Hokkaido scallops and rich otoro.

Plates change between courses as the chefs guide seasonings, making every dollar spent on the tight seating feel earned.

Why Diners Choose Toriciya Japanese Restaurant
Authentic Tokyo izakaya charcoal grilling, high-grade sashimi, and intimate hospitality in Cammeray.
Dual Mastery of Yakitori and Fresh Sashimi
Mastery across both charcoal skewers and pristine raw fish sets the kitchen apart, with wagyu rib finger and sausage skewers alongside fresh otoro and nigiri.
Normally quite rare for a Japanese restaurant to serve both yakitori and sushi to such high standards.
Calvin Lieu Handcrafted Udon and Signature Hot Staples
Beyond robata skewers, distinct hot staples like chewy, silky smooth nabeyaki udon and charred savoy cabbage dipped in saffron sauce anchor the meal.
The hand-made udon had the perfect bouncy texture - an exceptional way to round off the meal.
Crystal Lai Atmosphere That Transports to Tokyo Alleyways
The aroma of charcoal grilling, traditional wooden interiors, and bar-side seats give guests the feeling of dining in an authentic Tokyo neighborhood.
This izakaya transports you back to the alleyways of Tokyo.
Crystal Lai Front-Row Bar Views of the Culinary Craft
Sitting along the counter allows diners to watch the chefs deftly prepare skewers and slice premium sashimi up close.
We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the food get prepared as well.
Tierney Bourke Attentive Multi-Course Hospitality for Gatherings
Attentive floor staff pace dishes thoughtfully and provide clean plate changes between courses, elevating special occasions and family celebrations.
And wow - they even change the plates for each course / serving!
cat j h Cozy Setting Built for Shared Dates and Evenings
A compact izakaya dining room creates an inviting, shared environment suited for date nights and small groups sharing plates.

The izakaya skewers, sashimi, and noodle staples most praised by diners
Hokkaido Scallops
The Hokkaido scallops are a must order and dare I say, the best bite of scallop sashimi I’ve ever had.
Crystal Lai Handmade Udon
The hand-made udon had the perfect bouncy texture - an exceptional way to round off the meal.
Crystal Lai Ox Tongue Skewers
The ox-tongue yakitori is a personal favourite - super meaty and indulgent, unlike the typical thin-sliced ox tongue.
Crystal Lai Wagyu Rib Finger Skewers
Karubi (rib finger): SS, 9/10. Amazingly well cooked. Juicy, tender and umami.

Sides, hot comfort staples, and desserts to complement your meal
Baked Savoy Cabbage
Some must try hot dishes are the baked savoy cabbage and nabeyaki udon. You won't find this cabbage dish anywhere else. The cabbage leaves are crispy with a bit of char and when you dip it in the sauce with some saffron, it's just perfect.
Calvin Lieu Scampi Miso Soup
Scampi Miso Soup: SS, 9/10. Depth of flavour and umami were top notch.
Roland Zhang Miso Onigiri
Miso onigiri: S, 8/10. Certainly one of the best onigiri I've had in Sydney. Whilst expensive at $7, at least the miso topping and preparation of the charred rice was high quality.
Roland Zhang Daifuku with Houjicha Ice Cream
I definitely recommend getting the sashimi and the Daifuku with Houjicha Ice cream for dessert.
