General Notes
Nominally a yakitori restaurant, but in practice more like a Chinese skewers restaurant. The skewers are definitely flavored + cooked more like Chinese skewers. The seasoning is a lot more diverse compared to the relatively simple yakitori tare. Come here for the lunch special -- it's a great deal, $2 each for bbq oysters or vermicelli scallop / abalone.
Dishes Tasted
- ★☆☆☆ smashed cucumber -- not very good, watery sauce, seeds not removed, too much soy sauce and not enough vinegar / oils
- ★★☆☆ chicken cartilage
- ★☆☆☆ chicken gizzard
- ★★★☆ bacon-wrapped mochi
- ★★★★ pork cheek -- probably my favorite skewer of them all
- ★★★★ gyu-tan
- ★★☆☆ chicken skin
- ★★☆☆ scallop skewer
- ★★★☆ vermicelli abalone -- very tasty. They didn't have scallops this day otherwise I'd also try a bunch of scallops
- ★★★☆ bbq oyster -- yummy and pretty good deal at $2 each for lunch special
