Yakitori Shinsengumi

Another great izakaya place. This place is incredibly lively and the food is fantastic. Definitely worth a trip if you can get in. It's worth the wait. Check out all the different foods I was able to sample. They also have alot of other dishes which look delicious but you can only eat so much. Definitely visit this place a few tries to sample as much as you can. I highly rate this place A+ !

Famous for their yakitori this place was like a hidden gem when I discovered it. Tucked into the corner of a small shopping center this place is authentic Japanese cuisine. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered the prime beef steak plate lunch which was excellent! The prime steak was cooked to perfection and I loved the ginger salad dressing. My favourite was the potato salad, very creamy! Went back again to try the prime beef plate with steak yakitori and I love it better then the steak plate, meat was expertly cooked to perfection, tender and seasoned just right this place makes my mouth water just thinking about it 🤤

This is one of the best places to try out yakitori in west LA. One thing you would notice from this restaurant is that they have some of the best culture and well-trained employees in a restaurant: enthusiastic, efficient, friendly and welcoming. Every employee would be welcoming and thanking you like you just did something amazing for the restaurant (fun little experience right there)! 😂 Anyways, moving on to the food. For those of you that don't know what yakitori is, they are basically the lite version of Korean BBQ on skewers (no, you don't need to cook the food yourselves, thankfully). Taste? They are all very juicy and tender! Here are the dishes I would recommend: - Chicken (skin, thighs, balls and wings) - Shrimp - Pork belly (with and without asparagus) - cheese sticks (This is a must appetizer) - Steak skewer (I can't remember the name but it's the priced at $5 each) - Creme brulee (if you are always up for dessert afterwards) One parting thoughts, this restaurant can get really expensive. Yes, each skewer costs $2-5 per skewer but they can add up. If you are a heavy eater, remember to keep in mind of how much you eat or you will be shocked looking at your bill. Overall, excellent dining experience and would recommend.

There is no reservation accepted ahead of time so it's first come first serve base. However, it is sooooo good that it's worth waiting for. If you didn't come early before it opens at 6pm then you would wait about 50 minutes for the first group finished dining. All the meat are so fresh and the sauce is just the right amount to tamper your pallet. The pork intestine is very hard to cook because of the tough texture; however, the restaurant makes the perfect port intestine yakitori to make soft inside but crispy outside. The plain rice ball has the crispy shell with the special fragrance of the roast rice. The store provides the fresh cut cabbage on the house with free refills which is a bonus to dine in. We came every time when we visited LA and it's always very satisfying.

The chicken plate never dissapoints i swear, sorry forgot the Japanese name for it also the shrimp fries are a must!! Love their yakitori always taste delicious They have a dessert as well 😋 . Pretty much everything they have is very good, they have a lunch and dinner special so they close in after noon after about 3hrs of opening to prepare for dinner. So just being able to be some of the lunch food is a mission in itself well worth the reward.

Extraordinario…simple the best meat skewers in town!! We tried a huge selection and each and every one of them was delicious seasoned and perfectly grilled. I would come here again anytime we’re in the area…Seriously you have to try them out with multiple locations to serve you…sake and beer selection are super good too…below are some pictures of our food tasting experience but you have to be their to not miss out…so popular there’s a wait that is most definitely worth your wait
