Yokohama Yakitori Koubou

There was a lot of vegetarian options, but I was not incredibly impressed with the dishes I had. Although, it did give me a chance to try a new meal: the green tea noodles. My takeaway: Yokohama is a good place to get some quick bites and a hot cup of sake! Overall this restaurant is unique, fast, and charming.

Please make a reservation to ensure you have a proper two hour time limit. We came at 5pm without a reservation and they told us we need to finish by 6pm so that they could get ready for the party at 6:15pm. At 5:45pm, they made sure to tell us last call for any orders. We ordered two of what we liked. Service was quick and we were out by 6pm. Everything was delicious, can’t go wrong with what you order. My favorite was the Kalbi. Everyone else loved the chicken meatball. That was too salty for my liking. Parking in this plaza could be tricky but if you come early, there are plenty of spaces.

Fantastic food, the Chicken Rice Bowl was amazing. The chicken thigh skewer was also really tender and juicy. The only downside is there is a really long wait for the food, and it is usually at least 1hr+ if you don't have a reservation. A lot of the seats are empty and they stayed empty an hour later when we got our seat so I wonder why they didn't just seat some people there. Parking here is tricky, there's usually not a lot of spots.

MAKE A RESERVATION!! We came here on a Tuesday night and it was so busy! We waited about 2 hours and finally our table was ready.. once we sat down the server informed us that they were out of a lot of items. It was about an hour before closing when we sat down. My friend and I ordered edamame, Ajitama (salted egg), Toriudon, the omelet and some yakitori meats. The salted egg was so good I felt like the serving was too small though. The udon here was also really good and probably the best I’ve ever had state side. The omelet was so good creamy and tested really authentic. The yakitori was also really good but super limited so I didn’t get to try everything. The food overall was really good and I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend this place for people who have had and know authentic Japanese Flavors but DON’T FORGET THE RESERVATION!i

Busy place! Food was tasty and there was a good selection. Service was good, especially considering there were 10 of us at our table. Chicken skewers were $4 each and were quite small - I think 4 small pieces of chicken per skewer. I asked our server if what I ordered (2 chicken skewers and 2 pepper skewers) was enough for for me. She laughed and said that was a child's portion. Not sure that was a joke or not, but for someone who was not excessively hungry, it was enough. If you brought your appetite, you'd need more. Rice was not included, but I grabbed some from another diner at our table. Photos show remains of the wasabi skewers, plum skewers and the pepper skewers.
