Torien holds a Michelin star, awarded in October 2022 and defended in subsequent guides, according to the MICHELIN Guide's New York City listing (guide.michelin.com). With only 16 counter seats overlooking the kitchen, demand for tables at a starred yakitori omakase concentrates booking pressure onto a very limited nightly seat count.
Reservations are booked through the Resy platform, per Torien's official Resy venue page (resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/venues/torien), which is the restaurant's primary channel for securing a seat rather than walking in off the street.

Reservations: Book via Resy
Torien does not publish posted wait times; with only 16 counter seats, availability is managed entirely through its Resy booking page rather than a walk-up line, per resy.com.
Yes, Torien takes reservations exclusively through Resy (resy.com/cities/new-york-ny/venues/torien), the restaurant's official booking channel.
Walk-in availability is not addressed by Torien's official channels; given the 16-seat omakase counter, booking ahead via Resy is the primary way to secure a seat.
