The bacon wrap enoki is awesome. Chicken thigh is pretty good too. The rest is so so. Like the agedashi tofu and scallop are not worth the $$. Make a reservation for this place!

Price is a little high but I like the new outdoor dining setup.

We got a few skewers (my favorite was the heart) and shared a bowl of ramen. The lamb chops were good and the fried octopus was good as well.

Good variety. Love that I can just order by number of skewers straight on the menu. Things I liked included the gizzards, kalbi with sauce, chicken hearts, shishito peppers, tongue, scallops, and oyster mushrooms. I thought the shiitake was undercooked. The quail eggs were a little over. Eggplant and tofu Agedashi was wonderful.

Really tasty skewers with fast turnaround. The food comes out within 15 minutes. They’ve got their operation running like a lean ship. It’s very loud and the wait staff is always running around, so be ready to wave them down if you need service. Be sure to make a reservation or else they can’t guarantee you a table on busy days

Their eggplants are great. I recommend their pork belly skewer. I’m a sucker for pork belly. I also recommend their fish cake skewer.

Best izakaya in the area
Beef tongue so good
Also fried chicken, nonkotsu, monkfishliver …

The agedashi tofu, chicken gizzard, pork cheek were the stand outs. I wouldn’t get dessert here though, nothing to write home about!

I loved the food!

Came here on a weekday night for a late dinner. Everything I tried was very …

Great place for izakaya. Make sure to make a reservation. It’s quite a busy spot and there may be a time limit.

Tasty Japanese charcoal grilled skewers. Good amount of variety. Went on a Thursday night and it was still lively.

Hilarious misspellings and amazingly delicious food. See picture for veggie skewers called bacon. The bowl with egg yolk contains ground chicken and rice, also amazing.

Food quality is pretty good! This place is small and dark. They take reservations.

Good value yakitori restaurant and good selection of food. We ordered 13 different items and the check came out to be $65 and we were stuffed! Small place so make reservation ahead otherwise the wait takes between 30 – 45 minutes.

Good lord was this place good. I had several bits of meat, octopus, assorted pickles, daikon salad, lamb chops, quail eggs wrapped in bacon, and a big bowl of sesame ramen. Everything was fantastic, particularly the lamb chops and ramen. …

Quick stop for bites with friends. Felt like an izakaya – the menu goes well with a cold beer! Highly recommend the mackerel karaage (seasonal special) and the beef kalbi skewer. Service was fast and efficient, don’t expect a lot of small talk or discussion on menu items.

Good yakitori. Relatively inexpensive. Call in the morning and leave msg for reservation, they call back around 3 to 4. Parking is tougher so come early.

Excellent food (beef intestine, black cod, chicken rice bowl, skewer/”yakitori” platter, and chicken karaage). Friendly and fast service. A bit rushed since you only get an hour at the tables from the time you check in (should be from …

If you never had street food (aka skewers) Japanese style, this is a great introduction for you. Beware: portions are small so if you have a voracious appetite, the bill can quickly add up! …

First time going there and was very satisfied!!! For the price and the quality and good taste of the food, it was well worth it! If you are looking for a place that has a chill ambiance where you can hangout and drink with friends while …

Awesome and yummy Japanese yakitori 居酒屋. Love outdoor options. Hopefully outdoor will be always available even after pandemic.
No matter what, I’ll return many times ❤️
Fav, scallop, beef tongue, kalbi, shishito pepper.

Three stars for the food quality given the price – $3 for one skewer which had 3 pieces of meat, $7 for a small appetizer which had 5 pieces of chicken wrapped …

Update the recent experience
I went to here on last Saturday night, but when I came in, the waitress told me that they only accept reservations. The waitress left with only these words. …

Love it! The ambience is like we are transported to japan. The serving staff and customer are mostly asian. At least when i was dining there. Food are perfect. I love the quail egg with bacon, chicken liver, beef tounge and tontoro pork. …

Best yakitori in the Bay Area🙌🏻 The staff were very friendly here and the food was delicious.（but the clam did not taste fresh😅)
Highly recommend making a reservation before you plan to go. …

One of my favorite Japanese spots in the Bay. Known for their yakitori, they don’t disappoint on other fronts with a delicious roasted duck topped with jalapeños or their black sesame tan tan men ramen. The broth was incredibly flavorful but don’t hesitate to add a little more chili 🌶 oil to the tantanmen for extra spice. …

Have heard great things about Kokko. Made a reservation on the day of and got a less than ideal table (would highly recommend the outdoor seats over the others). Nonetheless, managed to try the food which was moderate to highly priced …

I really enjoyed Kokko’s Yakitori dishes. It was a little cold with the outdoor winter seating under the heat lamps, but i forgot all about that when the food started to come. I tried the Hokke Karaage special and it was perfectly crispy …

A cozy hole-in-the-wall yakitori restaurant that I wasn’t expecting to stumble upon. It’s not a big place and it sure is popular, so reservations are definitely recommended. It’s on the other side of the Caltrain tracks, away from the …

Wasn’t sure what to eat in this town so I randomly decided to come here and I’m sooo happy I did! This place had very nice ppl working there who helped me with the menu. If you are wondering what to get let me help you out!!! Get the lamb …

A great spot for skewers! Worth going even though it gets busy and is slightly pricey. The scallops and chicken skin are divine! Expect to pay up to 50 to eat well.
