Tori Tori · Restaurant · Mexico City
Polanco's landmark Japanese garden restaurant
Tori Tori began in 1995 when Dr. Katsumi Kumoto Kawasaki opened a small Japanese room in Ciudad Satelite serving mostly chicken, which is what tori means. Three decades later it is a reference Japanese name in Mexico City, and the Temistocles house in Polanco is its landmark: a steel lattice facade by Michel Rojkind wrapped in vegetation, with interiors by Esrawe Studio and a terrace-garden that made the building famous when it opened.
The flagship reopened after a renovation that opened the terrace to the street, thickened the planting and installed chef Marcelo Hisaki at the pass. His menu is a freer, fresher reading of contemporary Japanese cooking that leans hard on Mexican fish.
Around it the house repertoire holds: rolls, sushi cakes, chirashi, shabu shabu and teppanyaki, served to a Polanco crowd that treats the place as a canteen. Sister rooms operate in Anatole France, Condesa, Altavista, Lomas de Chapultepec, Santa Fe and Satelite, each with its own character.
Book through OpenTable, the channel the group links from its own site for every branch. Ask for the terrace-garden when you reserve, since those tables go first on weekend evenings, and call the house for larger parties.
Address: Temistocles 61, Polanco IV Seccion, Miguel Hidalgo, 11550 Ciudad de Mexico, CDMX, Mexico, Mexico City
