oyako chazuke tontoro chicken good for dates frozen custard miso soup teriyaki casual great value lively restaurants pork tea trendy eggs salads spicy food beef bacon
Marc Jacobs

Authentic yakitori with diverse izakaya plates. Sake menu is decent and offers flights. Atmosphere casual , staff friendly . Try the momo , tsukune, kawa, moro miso , and daikon stew . Skip the karaage .

Vic Zaud

Everything, but what's unexpected is the attention to authentic detail in their vegetarian and tofu appetizers . Really superb sunomono, fresh tofu , and any specials they offer.

Josh W

Oyako don always. Nankotsu (karaage or yakitori ) is great when available. Get on the waitlist via Yelp and call ahead for dinner if you want to eat at a reasonable hour

Mike Winston

Looking for a great lunch special ? The Oyako-Don is simple, comforting, and makes for a massive meal. Also, don't miss the fried octopus – Tako Karaage – and read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more

Kenin Coloma

One of my fav lunch spots . Where else would you get oyako don / tsukune don this good? Gyu Harami is also really good.

Lu Li

chicken and egg over rice is to die for! The grills are great too... Everything is so delicate here, love Love LOVE

Kyle Fowler

The oyako don is where it's at. Everything on the menu is good though, can't go wrong. It's reasonably priced enough that you should try it all!

Gnat Brain

Everything tasty here. Especially loved the tofu in shrimp broth , chazuke , oyako-don, bacon wrapped enoki roll, spicy teriyaki chicken , and of course, the karaage !

Mingming Dai

Raw octopus , fried softshell crab and pork belly grill are very good. Long wait though. Recommend to make reservation for dinner

Cecille Doland

Organic chicken karaage at its best - lightly battered with a balanced taste and a squeeze of lemon !

Omer Zach

We had a lot of success giving our waiter a "budget" and asking him to bring out a bunch of wacky dishes. You can always order more after.

Karen Zeller

Go for lunch . It's an amazing deal, fresh and organic . Set lunch : $10 for salad , donburi , and drink. So much better than all those dive japanese restaurants .Best reasonable yakitori east of Osaka. Read more

Sandra Castellano

Love the sumika salad , chicken skewer , pork skewer , chicken skin skewer , and end with the ume chazuke !

HD Lee

Charcoal-grilled meat & vegi with sake . Also love taste of Japanese apricot in Ochazuke. Come to the downtown before sun goes down and stroll around before you come to the restaurant !

Benny Lee

Oyako don can never go wrong. Love the half cooked egg ! Sumika don is with teriyaki sauce instead of egg .

Lisa

Get anything chicken ! Chicken thigh , wings , etc. Too bad they don't have gyu-tan (beef tongue ) here. Go to Yakitori Kokko in San Mateo for that :)

Annie Wang

Came all the way for the famous oyakodon but was a bit disappointed with the flavor. Didn't enjoy the karage and agedeshi tofu much. Prob should have come for what the place is famous for at nights.

Summer Fu

Try their specials. Everything is really good on their specials menu, especially the mushroom in tea pot and beef skew!

Michal Palmon

Excellent food! The eggplant and the grilled rice were amazing! Will be back soon!

bianca cheng costanzo

Best yakitori in the area

Jessica Chan

must: pork cheek , beef and chicken skewers , donburi , frozen custard and black sesame panna cotta .

Cecille Doland

Organic fried chicken ! I come here for lunch since dinner is always packed!

Melissa Dagdagan

$10 for a teriyaki don lunch box comes with salad and miso soup . Not a bad deal!

Chinmay N

One of the few good places to have fried chicken in the South Bay !

Param Singh

The atmosphere is cozy and no smoke which is rare for a yakitori place! The spicy chicken was dry and very over powering. And yes overpriced wth Moro Q at $8

Nana

Lunch special chicken Katsu was delish!

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

Seats at the counter facing the grill are great for solo diners , but be prepared to smell a bit smoky when you leave. - Inspector

Yoko Rizzo

Try their seasonal dessert , kabocha (Japanese pumpkin ) pudding

Jason Quock

Oyako don, pork cheeks ,, chix thigh, chix neck, and kaarrage. Skip Kobe beef .

They always have a couple of gluten free items. Lately I've been crushing on their GF carrot cake. $4/slice so definitely in the treat category. ???? - jennifer d
