Update: it’s been a year since my last review. Made it back again this year to this delicious place and I am happy to report that it’s still as amazing as it was a year ago. What a treat. Can’t wait to go back soon
What an amazing food experience. Definitely some of the best Yakitori I’ve ever had. Mind you the best I had was in Japan and this was as good and as special. In love with this place and I will be going back without a doubt.

The yakitori was cooking to its highest quality!! I got the wagyu yakitoki (skewer) and I was cooked very well!! I highly recommended this place to eat Japanese skewers!

Was in the area and found this restaurant online. Low-key casual little izakaya, off the main street. Atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, service is friendly and helpful, but the food just isn’t there.
Almost everything was a little over-seasoned for my taste. And the quality just wasn’t what I was hoping for. Gyutan was very tough and dry, skirt steak didn’t have the deep beefy flavor I was looking for, and the chicken thigh didn’t have much flavor. They also wait to serve all the skewers together at once, so it’s not as fresh when it hits the table.
On the bright side, fried squid was good, scallops were flavourful and perfectly cooked, and the portion sizes are generous. I loved the eggplant and their sauce, but they drenched the eggplant with the sauce which made it too salty.
Overall the quality of the ingredients and attention to detail (seasoning) could use some work, but friendly service and comfortable atmosphere. (3.5/5)

Awesome awesome spot. Really incredible vibe in there and great music.
Food is clean eating and delicious, we ordered a ton and loved everything.
The mackerel, mushrooms, scallion chicken, and short rib were incredible. Got one of their highball cocktails as well which was insanely refreshing and a great balance of sweet and sour.
Highly recommend this spot! Seating is limited.

Steak skewers are fantastic, but not the scallops–on the side it’s over grilled and I can see the black crunchy part, and it shouldn’t be like that. Fried oysters are too chewy, felt like they could do better pre frying. Atmosphere is great, but a bit of over priced for the amount of food we (group of two) had, and we still weren’t full after spending $100+ pre tipping.

First of all, the best thing is that it open every day from 5pm. That’s why I were there when most of restaurants closed on Monday. It also opens during lunch time, but lunch menu is same as dinner menu.
It is a small place. Not suggest for the party bigger than 4.
Sashimi moriawase is great although each piece is smaller than other places. I got four different fishes (4 pieces each). One of them is Abalone.
Also highly recommend the lamb chops. Tasted so good.
Service is good. Will come back to try different things.
(Updated on Aug 5, 2024): reduced to 3 stars (from original 5). The menu is totally changed now. No more abalone. No more lamb. Choice is less than before and the price is higher than before. Price range now is $50-$100 per person.

First time getting yakitori in the US and this place rivaled a shop in Japan. Got a variety to try and it was all great. Recommend the mune and the unagi. Melt in your mouth tender. Quality was excellent and I would be coming back if I lived closer!

I love Japanese robata grill. For a while I have walked by this hidden spot off of Clement Street, so today decided to drop in for lunch. For my first visit, I went with a few basics to test it out: skewers of chicken gizzards, okra, and bacon-wrapped mushrooms. I was not disappointed: the food was very well executed. Delicious and wonderful! The menu has an unusual beverage selection and lots of interesting items–both grilled and not–that I look forward to trying on future visits. I wish the proprietor well and hope he finds great success!

What a great hole in the wall in the neighborhood. My roommate and I went and ended up getting a variety of delicious fish and veggies grilled. The server/co-owner Richard, along with his brother as chef/co-owner, were super friendly and knowledgeable about the ingredients. Needless to say I came back again for date night, and will return for more!

feel very lucky to be a neighbor. this is the spot. have been a few times and everything is so good. favorite appetizers include the geso karaage, agedashi tofu, sashimi moriawase, and kiri mochi. as the yakitori goes, it’s hard to go wrong but the ebi, duck, and zucchini (trust me) are addictive. great service and great atmosphere!
