Japanese, Yakitori, Non-Halal
As I was browsing the maps app, I chanced upon a name of Tokuya which I was not familiar with. Upon checking it, I realised it was a newly opened Yakitori bar. It only opened for business in February 2023. So it was an easy decision that we should have Japanese.
Tokuya is located on the first floor or second floor if you go by the American convention. Upon entering, you are warmly greeted by the wait staff. The decor is simple but comfortable. Even though they grill the yakitori in an open kitchen, the restaurant is not smoky.
When I was there, they had a promo of 1 free Kirin to 10 sticks of yakitori. It wasn’t hard to order 10 sticks as they had a wide variety of options. The skewers were well seasoned and nicely grilled. It would rank as the best Yakitori restaurant in Puchong now, in my opinion.
Apart from Yakitori, they have other items on their menu. They garlic fried rice had good flavour. And there are sashimi and other items on the menu too. Other than that, Tokya has a good variety of sake and Japanese whiskey. Definitely going to make another trip to try their sake pairing with the food.

At the end of our meal, they gave us a free ice cream. Our bill for 4 came up to RM225.
Yakitori is a type of Japanese grilled chicken skewer that has become popular both in Japan and around the world. The name "yakitori" comes from two Japanese words: "yaki," which means grilled, and "tori," which means chicken.
Yakitori has been a popular food in Japan for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to the Edo period (1603-1868). Street vendors began selling skewered chicken as a cheap and convenient snack. Interestingly chicken was not a common meat in Japan and it was often considered a luxury food.
Over time, the popularity of yakitori grew, and it became a staple of Japanese cuisine. Today, there are many different types of yakitori, including chicken breast, chicken thigh, chicken liver, and chicken heart. Each type of yakitori has its own unique flavor and texture, and is often served with a variety of dipping sauces.
In addition to being a delicious food, yakitori is also a popular social activity in Japan. Many restaurants and bars specialize in yakitori. It is common for friends and co-workers to gather together for a meal of grilled chicken skewers and drinks.
Enjoy your yakitori discovery at Tokuya.
