DON'T COME TO THIS RESTAURANT.
IT IS A SCAM. Worst Japanese food in the city, hands down. The meat was raw and chewy and the portions are tiny. My wife asked for a salad and they just gave her a cabbage! Extremely rude staff. They made fun of us for how we looked. I asked for a bowl of ramen and they said they'd make one for a million dollars. Outrageous. We will be taking our business back to Sushi Diner.

Solid low key Yakitori spot with a variety of apps, skewers, and bowls. We especially loved the grilled saba. The day we went, there was a disproportionate number of chicken skewers and few beef or seafood options. We tried a large number of skewers and all were delicious. Definitely on the pricey end but worth it. Will be back.
Be the first to ReplyThey really are the best yakitori in San Diego, if not all
They really are the best yakitori in San Diego, if not all of SoCal. The chef only takes walks-in if he thinks he has the capacity to provide the best service (the best tasting skewers!!!). This is 100% a fine dining experience. You get your skewers slowly to enjoy with your sake or beer so don't come here super hungry expecting to get in and out. We normally average 2 hours for dinner. The slow pacing is what I love, as well as the sake offerings. Service is excellent and the skewers are perfectly cooked: juicy, with a nice char aroma(if that makes sense). End your meal with their $100k ramen. So underrated.

There is actually quite a bit of seating though the restaurant isn't big. We felt like we were back in Japan and will be definitely be back.

This the honestly the best Yakitori spot in all of San Diego. The service was so great and the food was amazing. The restaurant made me feel like i'm back in Japan. It's one of the best iykyk locations.

Came here on a Saturday night, recommendation is to come with an open mind and be kind!
Be the first to ReplyMy friend and I have been trying to eat here forever and
My friend and I have been trying to eat here forever and finally got reservations. The ordering is through a tablet but we unfortunately they didn't have any pork yakitori skewers available and they didn't have the spicy jelly fish and some other appetizers we were hoping to order. The skewers are ordered by 1 stick so you have the option to try different skewers. This is a more izakaya type of place so your skewer comes out like one at a time so it's definitely not a quick bite to eat spot. Overall, the meatball skewer was really good and flavorful along with the egg yolk dip. I also got beef, gizzard, liver and beef tongue. Those were delicious as well. Just the orders come out very slow.

This place was actually horrible, it smells like a brothel and the meat is like all moldy and mushy. Don't even get me started on the service. If you cannot speak japanese they charge you double?!? Do not come here. Ever!
Be the first to ReplyPoor service.
The server never stopped talking to her friends/customers. It took 20 minutes for her to give back my credit card and receipt after the check. Rude chef. He never showed any smile to us and he prioritized the Yakitori to his friends/customers. There were many times when our food was out at the last minute because he gave the last ones to his friends even we arrived to the place earlier than his friends. The dinner took us 3 hours to eat. Never coming to this place again.
Be the first to ReplyAwesome spot.
I highly recommend to make reservations to get a spot. It is a smaller establishment but well worth the wait.
Be the first to ReplyNoticed this was on Eater 38 SD.
Was about to eat dinner then had to skip it for a healthcare emergency. After the emergency case a lot of the restaurants in town were closed. I drove here as it states it was open. As I went to get seated the restaurant was 1/4 full with plenty of staff and they said last call was at 9:45 pm. I arrived at 8:45 pm and was turned down for service. @eater38 didn't get a chance to try the food but a little disappointing to not get the opportunity. Maybe I'm hangry here but the restaurant left me with a sour taste in my mouth.

Be the first to ReplyGreat food and great service! I'm not sure who the previous
Great food and great service! I'm not sure who the previous reviewers were, or if the restaurant changed, but if you understand what yakitori is, you'd get it. Charcoal grilled chicken on skewers, prepared perfectly. Everything chicken and more - we tried nearly all of them!fEverything was perfectly seasoned and grilled, and the saba was melt in your mouth delicious! Unfortunately, I didn't take photos, except for the saba - a prepared mackerel. As a little treat, we also ordered the chawan mushi - kind of like a savory soup custard with shrimp and chicken. We come to San Diego once or twice a year, and will definitely be back next time we're in town!

This is hands down not a place I'd usually want to recommend. The quality of food, ambiance, and hospitality of the staff is hmmm! Not sure if I'd be coming back again!!!
Be the first to ReplyI don't understand why the average score is not high enough.
The food is really good and taste better than the other Yakitori we went. So I think the person who don't like the taste should choose other kind of food except Yakitori. The environment is wonderful like this is the Yakitori place I thought it should be. My husband and I both like here so much. And the service is really good except when they are too busy to "take care" some of the unusual customers maybe... Anyway, we really like here.
Be the first to ReplyWe're not supposed to give good reviews but I can't help it.
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Sometimes the service is hit or miss, or it was in the past. It's been a while since I've returned, but the food quality was ALWAYS top tier. I'll definitely miss this place when I move again.
Be the first to ReplyI really like this place.
I haven't been here in what feels like years and I think they improved their menu and service. Prices are also pretty great. Before, I remember them having a pretty basic menu but recently it looks like they have expanded it and added items that are very interesting. I hope they keep this new menu and keep adding things as the season changes.They use a tablet system now to order which some people love or hate, personally I loved it because I can see what I am ordering.The best thing I had here was actually a dessert, it was a hot sweet potato with ice cream, it was super good and for that alone I will come back. Our service the last time we went was impeccable, the waitress was very nice and the cook actually came over to tell us about the food we were eating.I am looking forward to coming back !
Be the first to ReplyWhen I made a reservation, a gentleman and told me that I
When I made a reservation, a gentleman and told me that I did not tip him 15% and tipped him less. I told him that I usually pay 15-20% tip of the food before taxes. after this conversation, I went to the restaurants. in the restaurants, I asked the waiter if the person that did not tip was me. He told me that now do you have to tip 20% after taxes because of the "policy". even though the service at the restaurant wasn't good, I usually always give a tip a 15 to 20% before taxes because of respect. with the trashy service, I was shocked about this new policy and was fucking pissed at the restaurant. I never knew how rude a employees can be to confront me to pay a tip like if it was a mandatory thing. I do not want to be a Karen and be annoying and rude, but i just wanted to let you guys know how they mistreat your information of their customers. it seems like they always check and remember customer's tips and expected more every time
Be the first to ReplyI would go elsewhere for yakitori.
The food was okay, so was the atmosphere... very mediocre place.
Be the first to ReplyOur go-to spot whenever we get cravings for yakitori.
We try to go on a weeknight for an early dinner just to beat the dinner rush as they get very busy between 7-8. I love the tablet ordering system because you can set your own pace, just be careful to track your spending because those little plates can add up quick! The service is always friendly and the food comes relatively quick. We've been trying to eat our way through the menu and haven't found a dish we didn't like.

27.22 | Dinner ExperienceSome of our friends (J&C) suggested trying out this place. Upon arrival, I'm glad we still decided to go through with eating here, because the yakitori was decent. I was very surprised to see bad reviews about a decent spot. But then again, I'm sure everyone has different experiences under their belt. I have never visited Japan (but I do want to!) and it's been ages since I've been to a yakitori spot this year.We had placed a reservation for 4 - which would be the max amount of people to have a intimate conversation while getting the food bought to you. We were not seated at the grilled, but our booth was quite close to it. Any more than a party of 4, will be slightly difficult as the only seating that has more than 5 is right at the front of the yakitori. I feel like it's not that intimate plus I may get hangry watching the food being grilled in front of me.Some context on yakitori (source is from <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FAllrecipes.com&s=df024abd6620495b7b57f8ff97cbba39accce802bf18bdc2b8452262c3770e6e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Allrecipes.com</a>):Yakitori can be literally translated to "grilled chicken," from the Japanese words yaki (grill) and tori (chicken). Yakitori consists of bite-sized pieces of meat (usually chicken) served on a bamboo skewer. In restaurants, chefs often prepare dishes table side or at a central grill surrounded by bar seats. Traditional yakitori will always be prepared over binchotan, a Japanese white charcoal. This heat source burns very clean so it doesn't add flavor to the chicken skewers; all charred flavor comes from contact with the hot grill. The grill burns low, around 200 degrees Fahrenheit, so the meat cooks slowly. A chef will constantly stand at the grill rotating the meat and allowing it to be just kissed by the flames below.So if that previous paragraph was too long for you to skim through, basically yakitori is not a fast to make dish. The chef monitors the cooking constantly for the meat on the skewers, checking the moisture level and adjusting with the house sauce (tare) before it's served to you. For those who sit at the booths/tables, there is a plate that they bring out specifically to place your skewer orders on there. After you finish your skewer, there is a skinnier holder for you to drop your finished skewers in, located on the innerside on top of the table. During the wait, is the time to socialize and catching up.Interesting part to me, was that you could order from the iPad on what you wanted. You will need to order water and napkins, but the menu is always there for you to easily place an order. The employees who worked there was pretty accomodating, coming when called to answer any questions, and there is a central plate which they leave on your table to put your yakitori orders on.If you are hungry, it may be wise to order some appetizers or if you're wanting a bite, get the eel bowl and some wings. I may be slightly biased as I've been minimizing the amount of carbs for the week, so eel bowl was AMAZING. The eel was super tender and it was worth it for ~$18. Fried wings were ~$7.50, came in 4 pieces. Other sides that we ordered were the fried mountain yam (~$7.50) and the cold tofu ($3.50). I thought the yam was alright, but liked the cold tofu which was refreshing. They serve complimentary cabbage.In the yakitori, the ones that stood out to me were the chicken thighs, the shisamo, and the eel. -The Chicken Thighs (Momo) (~$3) were SUPER moist and tender and just that light salt which made all the difference. I've been eating chicken stir fry most of the week for lunch and dinner, that when I ate this, I was thinking "Can you just like pack this for me every lunch and dinner, and hopefully I lose weight that way?" We ended up ordering 6 sticks in total. -The Shisamo (Saltwater Smelt) (~$2.25) is a Japanese delicacy and is grilled or fried whole and served with its roe intact. Definitely order a side of mayo with it. The way to eat it, that our friends K&K showed us was to dunk the head in mayo and to eat that portion first before resuming to eat the rest with mayo. I thought it was delicious!-The eel (~$6.75). Need I say more? The eel was just amazing. I mean, myself and girlfriend K both ordered a eel bowl each and inhaled it.We also ordered the arabiki (~$3.25), gizzard(~$2.25), hatsu(~$2.25), and grilled hotaru (~$3). The arabiki was a japanese sausage. A gizzard is a muscle found in the digestive tract of a chicken. Grilled hotaru is grilled baby squid. I'm open to trying things, but in the end, I was more of the fan of the other three which stood out more. Our meal per person came out to around ~$38 without drinks. They didn't have pitchers, but a sapporo by the cup was around ~$5.50. I thought our food came out faster, but may also have been because we ordered apps. The previous times I have been to other yakitori places pre-covid it was also a wait! Overall the couple K&K we went with, we had a good time and would come again. We mainly spoke English, and the little bit of japanese we knew such as arigatou-gozaimasu.
Be the first to ReplyWeird vibe, would not suggest going there if you're not
Weird vibe, would not suggest going there if you're not from Japan/speak the language. ย Service was so bad it was (almost) funny....food was ok but not for that price point good lord. ย The attitude that came along with the price point was also wholly undeserved. ย Other spots to spend your money on, avoid. ย If it's on special order it
Be the first to ReplyTruly a wonderful experience.
The yakitori master knew what he was doing. Yakitori takes time. There's a lot of work needed to carefully cook the meat, stack the charcoal, and manage smoke. Please come here patient as if you're going to an omakase restaurant. This place reminded me of the izakayas back in Japan. I recommend trying all the different yakitori (chicken) parts. All give a different flavor and texture. The thighs were my favorite with the gizzard and skin a close second. I can't wait to come back again for more.
Be the first to ReplyI had high hopes for this place given its "secret" yakitori
I had high hopes for this place given its "secret" yakitori status to try to stay lowkey and not become a tourist spot. While certain skewers were definitely good, the overall flavor of the dishes were meh, nothing to write home about. I order the Omakase Yakitori w/ the Sake and some extra skewers to get a total of: Beef Tongue, Pork Belly, Chicken Skin, Chicken Gizzard, Chicken Thighs, Baby Scallops, & Liver. I would like to go back to try it again, but I may have to explore other Yakitori spots to satisfy the crave.@phidingthefam
