OK, I have to admit that I don't drink any more so its all about the food for me. I'm pretty picky. The ingredients are fresh and there's a huge variety. This place is just all around gourmet but with...
I was just here on a Thursday night with a bunch of girlfriends (8). I can definitely say it is good for groups. We had a great time. Service was good, food was excellent. They are known for their sob...
this place is very good. sometimes the pieces are too big for me (unusual in this country).
i especially like their version of the japanese "tsukune." they do it with big chunky meat mixed...
I went to one of the restaurants in Yakitori Alley. It was an impressive experience to walk in, and was quite a change from the bustling streets of Ginza's shopping district. All of the yakitori place...
great soba, good/friendly service, good yakitori too. no sushi for lunch, which i was sad to find out. the yuzu mojitos are great (but not much alcohol in them). also, good view from this restaurant i...
Crammed one on top of the other, the little local places serving everyone's favorite grilled meat on a stick will make you feel like you've stepped out of modern Tokyo and into some mythical parallel ...
Sometimes exploring side streets on a whim yields some impressive results, but I never expected to find something this good by chance, and in the middle of Ginza too. New Torigin is located behind Uog...
Iseya is often ranked the number one hotspot of Kichijoji in magazines introducing the area and rightly deserves to be so. The food is great, the atmosphere is fun, and the price is right.
As you a...
More common for dinner parties, Hinai-ya is a terrific place, even if it’s just for lunch. Located on the 8th floor, it is a dimly lit restaurant nicely furnished and carries an atmosphere that is ...

Why: Yakitori place that isn't all about the chicken
Verdict: Planning to go back
A while ago, I gave up beef, chick...
This small restaurant, crammed into the crowded Nonbei Street is just that, exceptionally crowded. The restaurant is by reservation only because it is not the sort of place where you can easily walk i...
When I imagine good yakitori restaurants, I imagine small, twelve-seat, hole-in-the-wall restaurants. I don't think of a second story restaurant in the brightest part of Shibuya. Nanbantei broke my pr...
With eight locations in Tokyo, and six locations in their homebase of the Kansai region, Kuruma has established itself as a leading group of restaurants under the umbrella of a company called Idea Co....
Kushiwaka Maru is a smoky little dive not far from Naka Meguro station specialising in yakitori and other "things on sticks". I visited there years ago when, quite memorably, the entire buil...
A quiet and sophisticated Yakitori place hidden in Shimbashi. Everyone here is quite friendly and will help you try and choose from the menu.
As expected, all of the yakitori were succulent and d...
This is another one of those places in the office buildings of the Marunouchi area. At lunch times, it's filled with suited workers catching a quick, satisfying, filling lunch. At dinner times, there ...
This restaurant serves primarily chicken. They have dishes of chicken, which is a whole broiled piece of chicken. You can clearly see that the piece of chicken is cohesive, which is something that I u...
Been here once for late night drinks and really loved the atmosphere. Good change from the typical yakitori in the area. I didnt each much, so can't review the food, but look forward to going back a...
except that it's non-smoking. at least, there was no smoking allowed in the location i was at, which would explain the group of women to our left with 2 children along with them.
the bill can kind...
