Ondori Menu

If you’re wandering around Nara and find yourself near 11-5 Nishiterabayashicho, you absolutely have to check out Ondori. This cozy spot is all about celebrating chicken in the most flavorful ways possible. Their menu is a delightful mix of classic yakitori and unique sashimi options that really set it apart. From the tender やきとり かわ (grilled chicken skin) to the rich キモさしみ (liver sashimi), every bite feels thoughtful and satisfying. The つくね (chicken meatballs) are perfectly seasoned and juicy, while the ささみのタタキポン酢 (lightly seared chicken breast with ponzu) offers a refreshing tang that cuts through the richness beautifully.

A crisp ハイボール (highball) pairs wonderfully with the smoky grilled skewers, and the 芋焼酎の水割り (sweet potato shochu with water) brings a smooth, mellow finish that balances the stronger flavors of the menu. You’ll also find gems like ずりさしみ (gizzard sashimi) and 鶏皮焼き (grilled chicken skin) cooked to golden perfection, alongside the buttery ずりバター and the crispy 皮ポンズ油であげる (fried chicken skin with ponzu), each showcasing different textures that keep your taste buds engaged.

For those who love adventurous flavors, the menu delivers with ひね鶏みそ漬け (miso-marinated aged chicken), 鳥ももタタキ (seared chicken thigh), and even the indulgent 鶏チャーシュー目玉焼き乗せ (chicken chashu topped with fried egg). Classic favorites like とりわさ (chicken sashimi with wasabi) round out the experience, giving you a perfect balance of traditional and inventive dishes. Overall, Ondori’s menu is a celebration of chicken done right, offering something for every palate, from crispy and savory to fresh and zesty, making it a must-visit for both locals and travelers alike.
