"Set on a quieter stretch of Sepulveda in Culver City, Gokigen Tori serves a parade of binchotan charcoal-grilled chicken skewers, along with other Japanese bites like sashimi, chawanmushi, and karaage. Nearly every part of the chicken hits the grill here, including the liver, the gizzard, the heart, and wings; go all in with the $120 omakase, slung from the restaurant's bar counter and never the same on any night."
"The $120 omakase offers a rotating selection of skewers, alongside soboro gohan with minced chicken over rice, wagyu, and more. The set menu is served at the counter, inches from the grill where cooks fluidly flip skewers and grilled onigiri. This is the best way to try a little bit of everything from the menu, but prepare to leave stuffed to the brim (and maybe with some leftovers) - Gokigen Tori does not hold back with the amount of dishes included."
Gokigen Tori sits on a quieter stretch of Sepulveda in Culver City and specializes in binchotan charcoal-grilled chicken skewers alongside sashimi, chawanmushi, and karaage. Nearly every part of the chicken is grilled, including liver, gizzard, heart, and wings, with offal and classic cuts both available. The $120 omakase rotates nightly and is served at the bar counter, delivered inches from the grill where cooks flip skewers and grilled onigiri. Binchotan charcoal imparts a smoky flavor not achievable with gas. Standout items include the hatsu (chicken heart) and vegetable skewers like blistered shishito peppers. Reservations required for the bar omakase.
