The Place A new addition to Amoy Street this month, Satori is a Japanese yakitori restaurant beside Sodeng, which dishes yakitori sticks from only S$3.80. Satori is helmed by Chef Wilson, a disciple of Chef Shyong who is behind Sapõto. The interior of Satori is a departure from the traditional yakitori aesthetic as it takes on a bold aesthetic of deep crimson tones and cinematic lighting. 

At the back of the restaurant is a private dining room equipped with karaoke. 

The Food There are over 50 options of grilled skewers and more. Chicken offers the most classic cuts of Torikawa  Skin (S$4.80), Momo Thigh (S$5.80), Tebakawa Wing Tip Skin (S$5.80) and Tebamoto Drumlet (S$5.80). Juicier bites come as Sasami Tenderloin (S$5.80), Mune Breast (S$5.80), Negima Thigh with Leek (S$6.80) and Tsukuna Minced Chicken (S$6.80). Meat options include the likes of Bonjiri Tail (S$6.80), Seseri Neck (S$6.80), Tebasaki Mid Wing (S$6.80) and Furisode Shoulder (S$8.80). 

I started with some appetizers like the Truffle Chawanmushi (S$9.80) and Nori Salad (S$9.80) which are both delicious before the main meat action. 

If you are undecided about what skewers to go for, there is a Chef’s Selection Yakitori Set (7 Skewers, S$29.80) which includes 4 Chicken Cuts, 1 Chicken Organ & 2 Vegetable. I tried this set and here is what I had: 
 
Tsukune (Minced Chicken) 

Seseri (Neck) 

Bonjiri (Tail) 

Sunagimo (Gizzard) 

Tebasaki (Mid Wing) 

Shishito (Green Pepper) 

Cherry Tomato 

Overall, I think the Yakitori Set above is very value for money with good bang for the buck and quality.  
 
Of course, feel free to add on any skewers if you are still up for more. For one, I had the Kinniku Lean Muscle (S$5.80) which is tender and flavourful. 

For carbs, there are options like Mini Unagi Don (S$16.80). 

Dessert is a simple selection of Ice Cream (S$3.80), offered in flavours of Yuzu, Goma Black Sesame, Matcha, Vanilla, Grape or Chocolate. 
 
Rants As compared to the Chef’s Selection Yakitori Set, the ala carte orders of the skewers are pricier. 
 
Will I Return Again? Overall, Satori is still competitively priced as compared to other yakitori concepts in Singapore like Skewers or the upscale Firebird. It is a good spot to check out if you are looking for a comfortable ambience to enjoy your skewers.
