"AVOID THIS PLACE! I rarely give one-star reviews, but I have to share my experience. The meat was overcooked, dry, under-seasoned, and portions were small relative to the high prices. The only skewer with decent flavor was the chicken breast topped with wasabi; unfortunately, all I could taste was the wasabi, not the bland and dry chicken.
We waited about 45 minutes before receiving a skewer, and the pace was excruciating—averaging one skewer every 10 minutes. In total, we spent over 2 hours there and barely received any food. There’s just one tiny grill, similar to a home tabletop grill, which can only cook about 15 skewers at a time.
The cost was $27 per person for food, plus a minimum of $4 for each drink, with a mandatory 20% gratuity added to the bill. The menu is misleading: the Yakatoriya combination is priced at $25 for just five skewers and some minuscule sides of salad and broth. I ended up having to order their cheapest single skewer for $3.50, bringing my total to around $30 for unsatisfying food that left me hungrier than if I’d just had an 8-piece Chicken McNugget meal.
They were also overly obsessed with sanitation—staff wore masks, there was plastic wrap covering the cooking area, and hand sanitizer was mandatory upon entry along with various signs about cleaning and sanitizing. Save your time and money and eat somewhere else!"
