Oreno Yakitori Ginza 9-chome — Restaurant in Tokyo

I have been this place back in 2016 for my first Japan trip and it was amazing. 9 years later 2025 and I just tried it again. The meat quality was still quite good . However it had became a tourist trap. One people per drink policy is not uncommon in popular Japan restaurant. However, they forced a "table fee" 500yen per people , which was very strange. We ordered food and server just dropped off food, no service at all, no water refill. We were there a bit late but there was still 50 mins to closing. They started cleaning, moving tables/ desk around , which was very noisy and disturbing , and we were getting a sense that they would like to us to leave soon. So we didnt enjoy the meal mush and just cooked through everything and ate then left . Very unpleasant...

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday night at just after 6pm. Place was starting to fill up. The food was ok but priced at an OK price, the drinks such as wine and champagne were priced very competitively. The issue here is the service is absolutely horrible, the waiters split yakitori sauce on us, food came out slow, drink orders were wrong, rude (everything is a rush). After all that at 715 they came and told us last order for food... They said we need to leave at 750 and warned us at 730, 740 and the 745.... If you enjoy being herded like cattle then this is the place for you. Recommend...

Fun to eat around 😃 “Oreno” means “MY”. This is my yakitori 😃 . Foods and drinks were really nice. They served dry fruits as starters which was completely new for me in a yakitori restaurant. The staffs were so welcoming and smiling all the time. Good service, fast service. I liked the kitchen counter seat. Unfortunately it was almost full so luckily we got the only table . We wanted some chilly sauce but it was not available so the lady staff brought us tabasco in a plate lol. That was so cute. Late comers were also welcomed...
