House Of Yakitori 2 — Restaurant in Colorado Springs

I've been visiting this place for years. The food is what you'd expect from a street vendor, many who read my reviews know that I love street vendors in Asia. Anyways, I hate to say that it's not everyone's cup of tea. The classic yakitori skewers themselves might come off as a little too charred and dry, but that's just one of the unlucky moments you may have. Most of the time it is cooked to perfection with just enough char. The sauce itself is very sweet and salty, a perfect flavor for yakitori.

If it is your first time I recommend the following:

-Try showing up when they just open to get better seating, it gets packed during lunch time.

-Try their lunch special Yakitori because it is an affordable price

-Ask for the Yakitori sauce on the side so that you can apply the amount that suits you. They will drench the ever loving hell out of your skewers and rice, some will enjoy it but for me, it makes the rice soggy and I prefer my rice by itself.

-Most dishes come with homemade onion rings, if you don't like onion rings please do everyone a favor and ask them to remove it, they are homemade and it is a waste to set them to the side and get thrown out when you are done.

-A warning to those with a sensitive stomach, the yakitori sauce is very sweet & very salty. It may or may not go through your body like a bullet train. Its delicious but, as mentioned before, just apply an amount that doesn't overwhelm the protein and rice.

-My last tip is, its a Yakitori restaurant so I highly suggest you stick to ordering Yakitori(chicken) or Yakiniku(beef). Anything else might not be...

This place used to be great, unfortunately the people running the front desk and one of the managers have succumbed to the pressure of a busy location. While waiting for my food, the woman at the front desk continued to argue with elderly customers, refuse to serve other customers and just plainly had an attitude which most likely stemmed from personal problems at home or the lack of skills needed to provide customer service.

The menu explicitly states they serve soup and salad with every order which was not provided, however upon asking for the soup I was met with an argument and told that customers “must bring their own container to receive soup” which is not in writing anywhere. When I asked why the soup is not provided I was told “this is the way we do it”

I would advise management to print out a sign that plainly states this “unwritten” rule to help avoid possible legal issues...
