Christina LunaJuly 16, 2013Come on a Monday or Tuesday evening for fresh $1 oysters. Get the Bershire Pork Belly. Great together. Also try the Grilled Unagi special when available.
William JohnsonOctober 21, 2014Everything was crazy good. The unagi and wagyu were amazing, the chicken thigh with wasabi paste has serious kick, and how can you go wrong with bacon wrapped anything?
- JonesNovember 20, 2016Corn and chicken kaarage weren't good. Everything else was great:Wagyu beef spicyBacon enoki mushroom , Gindara, Spinach Goma, garlic miso ramen, Momo spicy mayo, Service also excellent.
- JonesFebruary 13, 2018Eggplant , duck breast and wagyu with salt pepper not good. Fried tentacles , miso ramen, and cod belly were good. Purple yam chips were amazing
Kelley L.September 22, 2018The yakitori here is really good. Would recommend the wagyu beef and chicken liver, but skip the ramen.
Great skewers. Great ramen. Great atmosphere. Mokutanya is the place where you wine(sake) and dine like tomorrow doesn’t exist.
Jennifer DameDecember 27, 2015Awesome place if you want to drink and have munchies. Their skewers are cooked perfectly. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny.
If you’re wondering if you should book a reservation, the answer is always YES. Cute, romantic ambiance and delicious food- Kay MokJuly 11, 2021really liked the chicken wing and spicy mayo chicken thigh skewers! spicy beef ramen was amazing too but very spicy!
Doug MakishimaAugust 18, 2014Great to find a Yakitori restaurant in the Bay Area. This one is very modern with glass partitions between the rooms.
Aysegul OzenAugust 15, 2015rare meat selection's interesting. kangaroo, iguana, veal, etc. cool ambiance. you take off your shoes before seated.
- The yakitori and kushiyaki are authentic and delicious. Great place.
Ananth SivasubramanianJanuary 3, 2013Beat meal I have ever had . Excellent array of meats . With just the right amount of seasoning .
Can't beat current sake special. Free 500ml bottle after 10pm with 4 ppl and any food purchase.
Albert TiotuycoJune 3, 2012Outstanding service and excellent ambience. Cool spot to chill late night.
Try the Asahi black and lamb chop. Pretty awesome combo.
Try the tomato skewer wrapped in bacon, you won't regret it... Orgasm in your mouth.
- J JohnAugust 18, 2023Decent ramen place near SFO. Could’ve done without the loud hip hop but… 🤷♂️🤷♂️
