SD Yakitori Hits & Misses, Go Straight to Taisho Without Thinking! ๐Ÿข

Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ As a UCSD graduate, I know exactly which Japanese restaurants in SD are worth it! Today, let's dive into the ultimate showdown of Japanese yakitori! ๐Ÿ”ฅ The spotlight is on two popular spots: Yakitori Taisho VS Yokohama Yakitori Koubou. My verdict: Taisho is legendary, while Yokohama is just... average. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ‘ LEGENDARY STATUS: Yakitori Taisho If there's one restaurant in SD that makes me never want to leave, it's Taisho! ๐Ÿฅ‡ From the very first bite, I felt like I was transported straight to Japan! ๐ŸŽŒ Even compared to the greater LA area, this place is absolutely top-tier! ๐ŸŒŸ ๐Ÿฅ‡ Must-Try Masterpiece: Wasabi Beef Skewers I'm honestly speechlessโ€”these are out of this world! ๐Ÿคฏ The rich aroma of beef combined with the kick of fresh-ground wasabi is so good, you'll be slapping your knee in delight! ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ— Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) The fried chicken is also incredibly deliciousโ€”super crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside! ๐Ÿ˜‹ โ—๏ธ Only Drawback: The place is super tiny! You absolutely MUST make a reservation in advance, or you might be waiting forever! โณ ๐Ÿค” Overhyped: Yokohama Yakitori Koubou Yokohama has a big reputation and always has a long line during peak hours. But honestly, the flavor is pretty average. ๐Ÿ˜ Compared to Taisho, their skewers are just okayโ€”nothing mind-blowing or authentically smoky. ๐Ÿข ๐Ÿ’ก When Should You Go? The upside is the space is bigger, and they're open late. If you're craving a midnight snack or really can't get into Taisho, this could be your backup. ๐ŸŒ™ ๐Ÿคซ Secret Tip: There's a pretty good Japanese BBQ spot next door (forgot the name ๐Ÿ˜…). If the wait at Yokohama is too long, head next door and give it a try! ๐Ÿฅฉ ๐Ÿ“ Final Takeaway: If you're a foodie chasing ultimate flavor and authentic vibes, rush to Taisho without a second thought (just remember to book ahead! ๐Ÿ“…).
