"I'll be honest, this is not my kind of food. As in I'd never ask for it. But my mother in law is German and she loves it. So I went along. We started with the potato pancakes. Different from Jewish deli potato pancakes. These are crisper and the potato is thickly shredded. They were delicious! Especially with sour cream and applesauce! In fact I told everyone to save one for breakfast. I had a vision of them on the griddle with fried eggs! More on that later. For the mains I had veal schnitzel with mushroom gravy and sour kraut and spaetzle. Not the sour kraut I'm used to. Very spicy! But I love spicy so I loved it. The mushroom gravy was thick, rich, and delicious. I was picturing it on a variety of foods. My wife had chicken schnitzel and my daughter and mother in law had assorted bratwurst. Everything was very good and very rich! More like cold weather comfort food. But I guess given Germany's climate that makes sense. My ONLY criticism was the lack of certain condiments. My daughter and I both had unsweetened ice tea. When I asked for a sweetener I was told there was none. Only sugar. Ok, that's a sweetener but not for ice tea. I had to ask twice and was finally brought a tiny plastic cup. Really? Don't people have coffee here? Get some Splenda! I guess next time I'll bring my own if I want ice tea. Also stingy on the sour cream. We had four plates (12) of potato pancakes and one tiny plastic cup of sour cream and applesauce. I had to ask for more then received another tiny plastic cup. Ok, next time I go I'll pack Splenda and sour cream. BTW: The next morning I threw the leftover potato pancakes on a griddle and topped each with a fried egg. Everyone loved it! Definitely will be back!"

"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!"
