This has to have been my worst meal in my three plus weeks in Japan. Was in the area and thought I should try it, queue with 5 people ahead took an hour and the quality of food for what was paid was definitely something that justified its origins.

When my order was taken I ordered the 15 skewer set to make it easy. My fried items were brought out on small trays and by the ninth skewer I was told my set was complete. Hmm…I am pretty sure even the blue collar people of the past could count. So when I was done and went to check out they wanted to charge me the 15 skewer price. I told them no- I had nine and they told me that I changed my order now? I showed them I had nine skewers- so I was not paying the 15 skewer set. Not only was all of this ridiculous, the food wasn’t even any good. I swear my food from 7-11 was about 100 times better. Think American corn dogs and take it down to the worst corn dog you’ve had times 50. -And there was no communal dipping worry at the counter as they leave their sauce in a squeeze bottle. Definitely not the traditional kushikatsu experience.

If you think you need to try this, believe me…you don’t. I did so you don’t have to. I swear I ended up at the McDonalds around the corner after leaving here. Save your money and go get some sushi or something else.
