ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Torikizoku USA Inc., the US subsidiary of Japan's most iconic chicken and yakitori empire, officially announces the grand opening of its brand-new, first-ever to-go location: TORIKIZOKU ANAHEIM on October 1, 2026. Located in the vibrant heart of Downtown Anaheim on Center Street Promenade, this revolutionary concept brings authentic, high-quality Japanese comfort food to busy locals, families, and food lovers at an accessible price point.

Ahead of the public grand opening, an exclusive Media & Influencer VIP Preview will take place from September 25 to September 27.

Founded in 1985, Torikizoku is a household name in Japan with nearly 700 locations. Renowned as the country's premier yakitori giant, virtually everyone in Japan knows and loves the brand for its commitment to 100% domestic, fresh ingredients and unmatched quality. Following the massive success of its first flagship US restaurant in Torrance, Torikizoku is taking its next big step in American expansion by launching a fast-casual, order-and-go concept designed specifically for the modern American lifestyle.

Authentic Japanese Teriyaki: Signature Bowl Under $10

While "Teriyaki" has been widely Americanized over the decades, TORIKIZOKU ANAHEIM is setting the standard for true, authentic Japanese Teriyaki. Using time-honored recipes from Japan's #1 chicken experts, the showstopping Signature Teriyaki Bowl features tender, juicy chicken glazed in a rich, artisanal sauce made from scratch. Generously portioned yet priced under $10, this flagship item offers unbeatable value ("More Than You Pay For") without sacrificing quality.

Crafted by a Michelin-Recognized Chef

Elevating the fast-casual experience, the broader menu at TORIKIZOKU ANAHEIM features signature Ramen crafted in collaboration with a chef who led his restaurant to prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition.

• 100% Egg-Free Signature Noodles: Custom-developed noodles that deliver perfect texture and rich flavor without allergens.
• Scratch-Made Broths: Made daily in-house, available in Yuzu-Shio (citrus salt), Miso, and Vegan options.
• Made From Scratch: Free from central-kitchen pre-mades, every meal is prepared fresh on-site, ensuring meats and skewers remain juicy and delicious even when enjoyed the next day.

Pop Culture Meets Refreshing Beverages

Designed with vibrant Japanese pop culture at its core, TORIKIZOKU ANAHEIM proudly features "Torikki-chan," the beloved brand mascot. Adding to the experience, the menu debuts a colorful line of hand-crafted drinks, including a signature Watermelon Matcha beverage—a refreshing pairing crafted to capture the neighborhood crowd.
