The Yakitori House

I'd consider this one of my favorite restaurants in Auckland so far. Everything is so well executed there is nothing off the menu so far that I haven't liked and I've already tried half of it. It is a bit expensive but definitely well worth it. There is a wait time because everything is made fresh so do set aside at max 2 hours.

Yesterday my good friend Namiki and I dined at Yakitori House, and it was a culinary delight! Firstly, the variety of options on the menu is exceptional. From an array of skewered yakitori to delightful sides, there's something for every palate. The cauliflower tempura was a standout – crispy, flavorful, and simply delicious. What truly sets Yakitori House apart is their beverage selection. The beer was top-notch, and the hot sake was both authentic and satisfying. The combination of these beverages with the flavorful yakitori made for a memorable dining experience. The ambiance at Yakitori House is also worth mentioning. It captures the essence of a Japanese izakaya perfectly, making it a wonderful place for a cozy and relaxed evening. Overall, Yakitori House is a gem for anyone seeking a taste of authentic Japanese cuisine and a fantastic selection of drinks. I can't wait to return and try more. Highly recommended! 🍻🍢🍶

This place is really great, and I have had an awesome experience and will probably be coming back soon. The atmosphere is cozy and pretty, and the service is friendly and helpful. I had vegetarian dishes like the vegetarian giozas and the tofu salad and found them very delicious, and the people I ate with had foods that contained meat such as the pork belly and the tiger prawns, and they enjoyed them a lot as well. We also had the Hiuse Sundae, and we loved it. It contained a new and interesting type of food which we had never tried before like the matcha ice cream, the black sesame ice cream and the yukimi daifuku, and it was so different than any dessert I've ever had, it was so great. My personal favourite dessert was the sweet, hot banana and chocolate spring roll. In short, this place is fantastic, it was a great experience and I warmly recommend it.

Just visited again for the first time in years and Khan (the manager) actually remembered me for how much I loved their salmon skewers! That really says something about their friendly people, their welcoming service, and their awesome food. Love the general atmosphere of the place too! Highly recommend these guys and I'll be making the trip to eat there again much sooner this time.
