    Scallop bacon, quail egg bacon, pork belly with shishito and scallion yakitori. Supa tuna don and kimchi udon noodles. If you are three get an okonomaki. Hot Sake. Excellent prices, great value.

    Loved the okonomiyaki and takoyaki! Also got the party set, which was plenty of food for four people. Prepare to sweat when they shut down the A/C! 😆

    Everything is good here. If you're shy about some yakitori, they have friendlier options for those not into gizzards, squid etc. Huge beer sizes! Come hungry and try an array of items.

    I like to come here when Yakitori Taisho is busy next door. The okonomiyaki is meh, but you can't go wrong with yakitori and a draft of Japanese beer. Love the grilled rice balls too.

    I honestly wouldn't recommend the fried chicken here but the chicken skin and chicken gizzard on a stick are great ! I also had the octopus in wasabi cold dish and it's great for sharing.

    Japanese BBQ place. No sushi/generic offerings. We were 4, so we got the party platter, which offered various meat & veggie skewers. The chicken kidney=gross; chicken liver & steak=crazy delicious.

    Oishee! Gyosa and kimchi both are very authentic, okonomiyaki are also great. Edamame were served cold, which is uncommon. Prices are very friendly just like the service 😁

    Nearly identical to Yakitori Taisho a few doors down, Oh! Taisho has a solid line up of yakitori, noodles and rice-based dishes, and sake. Come early to avoid the line.

    The grilled items are pretty delicious. Chicken skin wasnt that amazing and their appetizers like takoyaki and yakisoba was really not that great. Skip apps and go for bbq.

    Very good Japanese food, but you have to choose wisely, some plates are expensive and not worth it.
