What a delicious and reasonably priced yakitori restaurant. We were very pleased to order the $ 70 14 plate omakase course and the $100,15 plate Special omakase course with a choice of A5 Wagyu beef or Iberia pork. I will come back again.

Had the omakase special for Mothers Day. Positives: the restaurant staff are great and friendly, the food was really good and made me rethink how delicious chicken can be. Negatives: the meal took 3 hours and most of it was just waiting (seeing how they were only doing prix fixe omakases, I would expect better pacing throughout the meal), the restaurant ambiance was very disappointing (the space was rundown and minimalistic in not a great way).

When you come 25 min to a restaurant and they tell you they out of 1/2 the things on the menu, that's not good service. I love their food but this is a high end restaurant where they shouldn't be out of all their items.

Except that our table was rushed a bit and the fact that we couldn’t really understand what the server was saying about each dish, overall really enjoyed most of the dishes. Would recommend both the omakase and a la carte.

Sayaka was our server for the night and her attention to detail, service, and descriptions of every plate made the experience so special. The food was an entire experience. We did the chef’s Omakase and I have to say it was one of the best experiences I’ve had to date. We went to celebrate my birthday and the crew sang happy birthday to me as well. It was really precious. I loved it so much and can’t wait to go back.

Value to quality of food is not attractive, you can get better yakitori for a fraction of the cost at Tori from a few blocks away. I don't mind shelling out money but the food needs to meet/exceed the cost.

Chicken dishes were outstanding which makes sense as that’s their specialty. Was less impressed with the scallops and should have probably asked for the waygu to be cooked beyond medium rare to get more of that char. Overall loved it and would go back. Might try omakase menu next time.

I made my first visit and was very pleased with the quality of the food, service and ambiance. The staff was very attentive and friendly and my orders were prepared quickly. I didn't have the time or appetite to enjoy the 'omakase' offer but I intend to do that on my next visit. It reminded me of some of the upscale yakitori restaurants I visited in Japan. Truly a very special dining experience - a taste of authentic Japanese yakitori.

The experience was great! I usually don’t bother writing reviews unless I am treated badly. But this restaurant is truly outstanding. Chicken are grilled perfectly and you can smell the delicious in the restaurant. The waiter-table ratio is great and we never need to wait for someone for service. The whole Culinary team is energetic. You can see the harmony of cooking in their stations. Please consider open a California Bay Area branch. :)

Food was good but the kitchen service is incredibly slow. Went on a Tuesday night and didn’t get all our food until 3 hours later. If you didn’t get a seat at the counter / omakase table your whole experience is just going to be waiting for food all night long.

Ordered the chef menu with the hope of trying all the best they have to offer. Super disappointed with lots of chicken plates with similar taste in a 15 course menu. It was the most boring menu. Will not go back.
