Good food with reasonable prices, friendly service with an authentic Japanese atmosphere. One of the few places that can offer that type of experience in Guam.
HIDE offers a menu size that normally would cause concern but from the many times I've visited, they are able to keep consistency and standards for the numerous dishes available.

Otherwise HIDE would be an easy recommendation if you want yakitori or Japanese food in general. Let's be real here though, it's a yakitori place so you should get the yakitori.....and maybe the...
Read moreGreat local Yakitore place. Local vibe with authentic Japanese Yakitore flavors!
I ordered combination of Karaage and Angus Short ribs. Both were cooked perfectly. The plating was great! Honestly did not expect the presentation to be done so well, but the chef takes the time to make sure its cooked right AND presented well.
The waitress was very kind, responsive (I didnt have to wait for a single thing), and knew some great recommendations when asked!
10/10 I will be coming back...
Read moreI was already feeling uncomfortable when i sat down looking at the menu bc when i had questions for the menu and for the availability, the boss was super aggressive to the servers. it made me upset already with his attitude. When i odered a ROLL it came out without the ingredient listed on the menu. i asked the server and the BOSS had attitude. this picture is what 13.95 worth of roll looks like.
