went to check out this Yakitori based on the good review here and happened to be in the neighborhood of Haven st.we ordered about 10 Yakitori and some side dishes such as salad, fried chicken and the raw octopus to share and 2 drinks. i liked the octopus dish. it came raw (surprisingly. i was expecting grilled octopus) and had a good chewy bite. the dressing was wasabi flavor which worked out quite well with the raw fish. other dishes i liked were the minced chicken skewer and wagyu. overall fo
we ordered about 10 Yakitori and some side dishes such as salad, fried chicken and the raw octopus to share and 2 drinks.
i liked the octopus dish. it came raw (surprisingly. i was expecting grilled octopus) and had a good chewy bite. the dressing was wasabi flavor which worked out quite well with the raw fish. other dishes i liked were the minced chicken skewer and wagyu. overall food was alright. light in seasoning and nothing unfresh. but also nothing terribly outstanding. food is a 5/10.
what i found strange was the vibe of this place. this Yakitori bar appears to be a place where the co-owners and affiliates (?) hang out and the number of co-owners and their affiliates far outnumbered the guests at the time of my visit. there were 8-10 bosses/wait staffs (they appeared to function as both) hanging around the bar area which made it quite crowded. some of them just sat on the kitchen countertop (inside the bar) and poured themselves drinks and just chatted very loudly away. then from time to time some waitresses/owners(?) will come get free drinks at the bar or just had a cluster of them standing around the bar chatting very loudly .... which made those of us who are actual customers sitting at the bar quite uncomfortable.
nothing wrong with having friends over but u feel a bit weird when its predominantly filled with the ppl running/servicing the place and they are all very relaxed and wined like a guest when they are supposedly running a business. atmosphere i gave it a 3/10.
overall food was alright but nothing outstanding. drink menu was a bit lacking compare to other similar setups. for Yakitori with casual atmosphere i prefer Torimen where services are alot more professional and attentive or Toritama which serves great Yakitori in a traditional setting.
