Shockingly delicious. I’ve been to other yakitori places in SF and Kyoto in Japan and this is the best. I can’t believe it. I was hopeful, but this place exceeds expectations. I’d recommend the beef belly for sure. The bacon wrapped tomatoes are also killer. Round it out with some mushrooms and the chicken as well as a nice sake. You will love it! Oh ya, the line can be quite long so put in your name and phone number and go across the street to Richmond Republic for a pint while you wait for a text that your table is ready.

A hole in the wall restaurant that I never noticed before whenever I'm in the area. Got to try a few different skewers and they were all great. The beef belly was probably my favorite. I also tried the grilled salmon and the salmon katsu. The katsu breading takes a away the salmon flavor so I recommend the grilled salmon. Also go the takoyaki, fries calamari, and okonomiyaki. The takoyaki wasn't anything special so I would skip that. The fried calamari was different (in a good way) than how I've had it before. The okonomiyaki was probably one of the best I've had in the city so far. Would definitely recommend getting that.

A completely great experience. It has it all you can ask for! It is a small place, but color with decorations from top to bottom full of The Beatles merch. Don't expect to get a table right away, so I suggest coming when they open; otherwise, be prepared to wait. Good for a pair, bad for a group visit. What makes this place special is their skews; everything from their skews section is worth your time and money. I highly recommend an old fashion beef skew if you're looking for suggestion. Don't count skews as your only dish for they're quite pricey. The waitress will suggest you order their ramen with your skews, which are good ramen by the way. Waitress in particular is quite the good worker, she will be very helpful with new people in understanding the menu and give you a good time in your stay. She kind, patient, and attentive to the guests; plus, the place is small enough that you can just holler for her attention to your table. Great food, service, and environment; however, a small place so except waiting outside. There is beers to choose from, but I've encountered times where a certain beer is out. Great place, go check it out!

Try to get here early because you're in for a wait. Luckily they call/text when your table is up so you can wander around Clement st. while you wait. We usually hit up Green Apple Books. We've been going here for birthdays for years so we're infrequent regulars but the server recognized us anyways. Great service and the food is always worth the wait.
