Torii Batai

Torii Batai

Torii Batai is a Japanese-accented gastro-bar, dedicated to the twin pleasures of yakitori and divine whisky. Torii Batai is the second Torii outlet. The first Torii in TTDI had won rave reviews and this is their second outlet away from the madding crowd in Taman Tun Dr Ismail. According to the owners, the name ‘Torii’ is tri-faceted. Firstly, Torii is a play on the Japanese word “yakitori”, which essentially means grilled chicken. Torii also alludes to Mr Shinjiro Torii, who is widely regarded as the father of the Japanese whisky industry. Finally, Torii in Japanese also means a traditional Japanese gate leading into a shrine. When you walk through the cast iron swing door of Torii Batai, you enter an atmospheric, wood accented sanctuary where one can pay homage to good food made from the embers of a fire, together with the fine ambers of the world.

Event Venue

Torii Batai features a yakitori menu featuring grilled skewered meats, seafood and different vegetables take a notable centre stage. Think Japanese tapas when you come to Torii Batai. And the food is complemented with the largest range of Japanese single malt whiskies on offer in Kuala Lumpur. So if you are planning a corporate dinner, a dinner party or an elegant Japanese whiskey fuelled party, Torii Batai is the event venue for you.

Location

Torii Batai is located in the newly refurbished 30 year old shoplots of Batai Village on Jalan Batai. This is just a stone’s throw from Plaza Damansara and while the current MRT construction works may sometimes make getting there a bit slower, we think it’s worth it. Torii Batai would be a very comfortable and cozy setting for a private party of up to 100 people who love and appreciate Japanese grill and whisky. Parking is relatively easy as it’s within a shophouse area that is rather quiet in the evenings.
