J reviewed Gokigen Tori – Best Yakitori in Culver City2d

4410 Sepulveda Blvd

●10.0

I thought it was bold to label one’s restaurant the best in an area…. UNTIL I TOOK THE FIRST BITE. Holy moly better than some yakitori places in Japan using US birds. How?! I never find anything this good at such an affordable price. I was eating so aggressively here that I pit the inside of my cheek and was bleeding out of it in pain for days. But still worth it. Every single skewer we had was magical and even the sides - chawanmushi was delicious. Even the veggie skewers were so good… the salinity on each dish was near perfect.. something you could never find at $6 a skewer in NYC or London. The claypot rice was so fragrant I can still smell the white rice from here. The grill master is from Japan and so is most of the staff. You can feel the energy all throughout the restaurant. I want to go back NOW

My specific order was double patty mustard grilled with caramelized onions, and diced onions and pickles light spread and well done fries(crispy). California soul food really hits even though I’m not from there!

Mostly a summer spot for their outdoor seatings. their winter set up is not so great. Little snacks are decent but wouldn’t say it’s the best quality. Drinks are kind of mid but vibes are great. Good meetup / catchup spot

I always cry from how spicy food is here but it’s always so good!!! One of my favorite szechuan restaurant (chains) in the city. They have their og spot in east village. My go to is their la zi ji which is their fried spicy chicken.

Cuts of meats were great and the small dishes banchan were also really good!!! The service was really great in terms of warmth, but I think they could’ve done a little bit better in terms of timing the grill of the vegetables and the meats it felt a little rushed.
