Edit: after 9 days in Japan, we’ve figured out that the best places to eat at the ones that don’t show up on Google and where all the locals are lining up for a long wait…

It comes down to this: We didn’t have the best experience and would not recommend this place for a few reasons. First: everything is wrapped in bacon. I don’t eat pork/beef/seafood plus other allergies so my options are limited. When I ordered all the veggies, excited and super hungry, the last thing I expected was for everything to be wrapped in pork. Super frustrating and disappointing. My boyfriend ate everything I ordered and he was pretty grossed out by it at the end of the meal, too. It’s just a lot, especially when you’re expecting an authentic Japanese yakitori. This place is not it.

We were surrounded by Aussies, Koreans, Americans, and Italians. I think out of the 5 Japanese in the whole place, three were the waiters and cook.

If you’re really into bacon, overspending for a meal, and don’t care about an authentic Japanese experience while in Japan, this is your place. Not to mention we agreed to dining with/sharing a large table in the back (ended up being with two kicking kids playing with toys the whole time), then right after they served our meal, they interrupted us and asked us to move tables to a accommodate a large party. Very annoying and frustrating, to say the least. Especially just after getting plate after plate of pork wrapped food when we were expecting veggies. Oh, plus the food is served little by little. So we didn’t even get to eat together. It was just 2-3 skewers at a time.

We left disappointed and frustrated. I could have spent 990¥ (instead of ¥9900)for a much better meal at Lawson and had a more authentic experience in my hotel lobby.

Came here on a Sunday at 19:30hrs, had to wait just a few minutes outside, we didn’t have a reservation. Take your chances or don’t and eat somewhere else.
