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
