Yakitori Boy is hands down the BEST sushi spot in my opinion. I’ve never used the 2nd floor , I currently reside in Atlanta and was anticipating The Truffle Fries and Sushi Rolls , for WELL over a year. Can’t wait to go back now that I’m local!

Great food and service. The only negative is that the sake bomb we ordered wasn't a traditional sake bomb, it only came with a small amount of beer instead of a pint.

Really good Izakaya style place to have dinner. We had a number of dishes from yakitori skewers to starters, to drinks. Reasonable costs considering the amount of food we had. Can get a bit loud but noise levels are dependent upon how many people are in the place. Good attentive service by the wait staff.

It was my sister’s birthday and we had a blast. Service was quick, and the food was great. Everyone pigged out. A few of my friends had never been and were pleasantly surprised by the tasty food and strong drinks. I recommend the Tokyo Tea. It’s delicious and deadly! Thanks for another great memory, Yakitori!

One of the best places in Chinatown that you can find. They have karaoke rooms above the restaurant but the restaurant maintains a decent volume decibel for general conversation. Japanese Tapas style. If you’re in the mood to share dishes with your partner in crime, then this is the place to go!

Food - yakitori was not cooked on open fire, tasted more like from the oven - if it were, they should be on the fire longer. Bland noodle (def not ramen) broth, maybe thats why the server recommended spicy for everything, because it will have flavors at least. But tbf generous bamboo shoots. Chef could maybe try learning how to soft boil eggs. Service - constantly adding water, good. But not giving us enough time to read the long menu; came back twice shortly after we asked for more time.

Went for a last minute date after booking online. We got our waters right away then didn’t see our server for another 15 minutes, which we thought was odd because we’re used to putting drinks & apps right away. For drinks, we got a sake flight and a smoky mango - they were OK, not strong at all. Food was okay, ordered the teriyaki salmon and some shrimp tempura sushi. Nothing special, tbh

It’s been over a year since I last went to Yakitori Boy so I was looking forward to going back. Food and alcohol selection has never been a disappointment. They did discontinue one of my favorite dishes, Beef Nagamaki which is what I was looking forward to getting. I hope they bring it back! I think the business might be under new ownership? Either way, it wasn’t a disappointment after not being there for quite some time and it is a great spot for getting together with friends or celebrating a birthday. The service was great too our waiter was able to give us recommendations.
