Luna JayOctober 19, 2013Got Garden Salad with 4 Skewers: chicken breast, chicken meatball, veggies + mixed veggies. All were cooked well and loved the meatball the most! And Johnny (the owner) is so nice (Y)
Hibby MesfinAugust 12, 2013Loved this place. All the skewers are amazing + owner provides exemplary customer service. They make all the meatballs and prepare the skewers onsite using good quality produce. Highly recommend
Check in for an extra skewer! and dree dessert on friday! Awesome fresh yummy food! Friendly and fast service. And dont foget to doodle on the mirror lol I love it!
Serena WDecember 13, 2012Asparagus w/bacon skewer and salad with Soy Ginger dressing (citrus dressing is too viscous) if you want a traditional yakitori experience. Don't forget to doodle on the mirrors!
BambooToriOctober 19, 2012We now offer Dessert! Try our BambooTori Snowballs! It's rice pudding glazed with caramel and served with fresh sliced oranges! YUM!
You can add a 5th skewer for $1 to your set! Or $2.50 for the famous dessert when you buy a set!! Set prices range start from $7.95!!
Village VoiceMarch 28, 2013We appreciate that everything on the menu is made from scratch; hand-chopped, sliced and ground every morning. Digging the meatballs most of all!
If this is your first time, try Foodie first, then add on something if you want something more, like a portobello mushroom skewer. While I prefer rice, their fresh green salad is fine, too.
Niels SegersJuly 4, 2013If you like pork, you should definitely try the pork belly skewer! And also don't forget to add some spicy mayo to your meal!!!
Alyssa LimMarch 22, 2013The skewers were alright. Oh taisho! has more variety and bolder BBQ flavors. Best part about this place was you get to draw on the mirror and pose with staches.
Cheney TsaiApril 15, 2013Fun dip machine. Slightly Americanized yakitori(additional sauce and stronger tasting ) Prices comparable to better counterparts on st.marks but considering the location it's decent
One of the best places to get good food for cheap. Really nice staff too!
FarahJuly 18, 2013Fixing the stack of incorrect printed menus might be a good idea, especially when actual prices on some things are double the previous price.- Love the rice pudding dessert! And free dessert in Friday plus 4square special is AWESOME!

"Delicious and affordable omusubi (rice balls). The Kakiage (fried carrots, onion, and kale, $2.90) was incredible. We liked it best and we also ordered a Bomb and a Salmon."
