“ This Yakotori restaurant is simply amazing. I feel like I am in Japan, and the food almost makes me want to cry. It’s that good. It’s a bit pricey- but well worth it. Everything on the menu is delicious, and cooked with perfection. Michelin should rate this restaurant! ”

“ Came here all the time when I was in San Diego for college. No reason not to come back when I’m back in town. The beef tongue, meatballs and chicken thighs are my favorite! Must try if you are into authentic Japanese grilled skewers ”

“ Everything 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 - a savory soup/custard with shrimp and mushroom. ”

“ One of the best late night places. I love the baby scallop special! You cannt get the smell and taste of the authentic japanese skewers on the charcoal from any other places. Beef tongue here have been amazing as usual. A rare find here is the chicken skin which is also amazing. ”

“ Some of the best yakitori I've had in San Diego so far. Must tries are the bacon wrapped enoki and karaage chicken. My husband loved the takoyaki soup, I was extremely satisfied with everything I ordered. Happy hour specials are pretty . Service was attentive but not overly so. All in all I totally recommend. ... ”

“ This is authentic Japanese cuisine... How do I know? Well, everyone, including the customers, was speaking Japanese. Fortunately, so did my native born Japanese friend. The only word I know in Japanese ends in "Roboto" from an 80's pop song. Without my friend, I may not have had the courage to discover this culinary treasure. We were the first customers there this beautiful Easter night. The place is tiny and dark. The waitress greeted us in Japanese and seated us at the counter. We were handed an electronic menu from which to order. We came that night for the meat skewers and my friend ordered for me. The menu is in English with photos and descriptions. You order on the electronic pad, and the order is cooked fresh in front of you. On this night, it was cooked by the very gifted owner of the restaurant. Each skewer is cooked and immediately served to you, and if you like it, you can push the menu button on the pad and order another one or some other choice. Which is good and bad, as we kept ordering because it was so good and bad because we kept ordering because it was so good. I never eat offal, but tonight I did... wow... delicious. We kept ordering, and the kind chef kept cooking. Customers came in, and it seemed everyone spoke Japanese. It's not the most fancy restaurant but for a solid, authentic feel and fresh authentic food. This very understated restaurant is worth the visit, whether you are an American English speaker or a Japanese speaker. Domo Arigato... ”

“ I had such a fantastic dinner here, everything we ordered was fresh, filling, and delicious. The hostess and staff team were warm and welcoming — I’ll be back ”

“ Incredible food, this place is a hidden gem. Everything is so tasty from the sake to the apps. Every yakitori is excellent- loved the eel, chicken thighs, and sweet eggplant ”
