In Thailand I had the most amazing Yakitori beef skewers with honey sauce; I purposely chose this restaurant with that in mind & was not let down! Really good quality ribeye, fries were also really tasty & bountiful. Service was amazing & I do not say that often: the waiter was really nice & attentive. It was quite a pleasant atmosphere, but a little loud being open planned; not that this mattered much when I enjoyed the food so much. A lot more reasonably priced than other restaurants I have visited. The only feedback I could give would be to add Japanese sticky rice to the menu.

Order anything from the menu and I promise you will be really happy with it. The atmosphere is great, it’s located in K town where it’s a nice walk to take after eating. I went with a few friends and the price wasn’t that much for what it was. I 100% recommend it and I hope to go back one day!

Lots of variety when it comes to yakitori- I tried the gizzard yakitori, as well as the yakitori bento box which came with the chef's suggestions. Mine had 2 pork sausages, small corn with pork belly, 2 zucchini and 1 chicken. I also got their gyoza since I was extra hungry- worth it!! My favorite out of the 5 yakitori I tried is probably the chicken and gizzard. The chicken yakitori was so tender and flavorful, it had slices of onion in between the chicken, and the gizzard was crunchy but so meaty. The zucchini and the small corn with pork belly was also very good, and it had a sweeter taste to it, and the sausage yakitori was very smokey- in a good way! I do wish however, that they didn't add so much sauce on top of the bento box, because the rice was a bit too saturated for me. The rice was a bit mushy and it was just too sweet for my preference. The bento box came with pickled vegetables, seaweed salad, miso soup and a small salad along with some togarashi (I think). The gyoza was also quite nice- it had a crunchy bottom and the filling wasn't too meaty. The filling looked to be chives, pork and possibly vermicelli noodles. The waiter was also super nice, he attended to every table with so much care and always a smile, and the chef was equally nice. There were about 40 seats or so (total estimate), and it's well lit. It didn't feel cramped at all, and the front of the restaurant was where they grill and prep the yakitori, so it was nice to see the whole process. Great experience and food!

Stopped by for a late lunch with friends on a Monday (July 3rd before the holiday) and had a really great time here! The food, service, and general ambiance were all great. We ordered the 5 skewer combo, the chicken kara-age, bulgogi fries, and the tuna tartare bibimbap. We shared among three people and it was the perfect amount of food. My favorites were the bulgogi fries and the rib-eye skewer! The bimbimbap was good but because the rice was so hot, the tuna was getting cooked in the pot so we had to remove it and keep it on the side to make sure it didn't get overcooked. The chicken kara-age was also good but the bulgogi fries really stole the show on the app side.

The atmosphere was nice, it’s small and felt very cozy. The yakitori was great - we had the chicken thigh and short rib ones. The ramen however was lacking quite a lot. I had the garlic tonkotsu and my boyfriend had the regular one. We both felt the ramen was super bland, we tried adding chili oil, chili seasoning, and even the sauce that came with the gyoza but overall the ramen just wasn’t that great. The gyoza seemed like they were steamed then fried quickly on either side - they came out… saggy? And fell apart easily. Flavor of them was just okay too. Overall it’s not a place I’d come back to unfortunately. But service was 10/10 though!

Some of the blandest ramen I’ve ever had. Minimal flavor. Broth was like water and wasn’t very much of it either. Noodles were Thin, almost dry and just super underwhelming. Ramen was not good. Gyoza were impressive though. And the chili oil was nice and strong. Some of the best gyoza I’ve had in a while. We are spoiled since we spent time in Japan last year but I’ve had better ramen in the states for sure. Was grateful we got a seat. It was a cute ramen shop. Just not really that good to be honest.

Ramen was very good. Service was a bit slow late night. Pricing was very fair. Black garlic ramen was very flavorful, wish there was more broth!

Service was lovely. They were very kind and attentive to the best of their ability and handled the rush very well. It's a solid safety pick, but I wouldn't ruin my day over trying to make it here. The skewers were decent, but I'm sure there is better and cheaper elsewhere. The bathroom was very hot and humid.

I was racially profiled by the server. Because I have brown skin, the server assumed I was maybe Muslim/Hindu (which i’m not) and let me know that my order contained pork. I mean, good on him for doing that (some people may not know), but also some people may not appreciate that either. But that wasn’t the problem for me. My partner received their order and was finished eating by the time my food came to me. Multiple people around me got their orders before I did so by the time my food came, I had lost my appetite. It’s sad because I have eaten there before and had really good experiences, but this one time it put a sour taste in my mouth, and I probably won’t want to visit again. Sorry.

Very bad Yakitori, beef and chicken were very dry, vegetables were bit. The taste overall was way too sweet. Maybe if you are white American you can accept the taste?

Acey Li

Don't order yakitori here! I ordered the 10 skewers combo, and they stated that there will be a chef selection of 3 chicken skewers. But when the plate was brought up, there was only 3 chicken thigh. Moreover, they replaced green onion with regular onion, which changes the taste. Also, some of the skewers were burnt, the menu was crusty, and the ribeye beef was really dry.

not one to leave a bad review but this sure has got to be one of the very mid ramen i’ve ever tried. i ordered a miso ramen. soup was so salty it’s inedible. skewers are so tough and heavily coated in some sauce. it’s not just some glaze its almost as if soup sauce was poured on top. other than disappointing food, servers were very attentive and caring though. they tried to fix the ramen for me. i just expected better food for the price in koreatown. needless to say i’m def not returning for the food.

I’m not normally one to leave a bad review for a restaurant, but this experience was deserving. We entered after standing in the cold with snow coming down and waited several minutes to be seated. Water was dropped off, and then nearly 25 minutes passed without anyone taking our order or even acknowledging us. During this time, the server checked on other tables and took the order of a table across from us that had just arrived. When I mentioned we had been waiting for a while, her response was, “I didn’t see you,” which I found offensive considering she walked past our table multiple times. We ordered the cocktail in a bag, ramen, and branzino. The food was decent, but the service was essentially nonexistent. Our food was dropped off, and no one returned to check on us until it was time to drop the check. If I could give zero stars for service, I would. After reading other reviews, it appears not all customers are treated the same. Needless to say, we won’t be returning.

absolutely garbage, you gotta be joking with the food quality here, like what the heck am i eating even, seasoning with full on honey and chef choices of the yakitori are tomatoes and chicken breast like hello? And with all the people that are lining up for this food just get out of here please.
