Critic Reviews

The New York Times Critic's Pick 10/13/04

Ah, the feeling of overwhelming nostalgia for the crispy scent of authentic yakitori brought me here - and I was all but transported back to my beloved Tokyo! Delicious.

The yakitori is as good as I've had in NYC, but don't miss the rest of the menu. Great vibe, gracious service, but sometimes has very long waits (which they handle nicely by taking your mobile # and directing you to a bar down the street). One of my favorite places to take visitors.
