    In a town known for pork belly, this tender braised version ranks alongside the very best. Get the single portion, not the thinly-sliced version that comes on skewers. Try the deep fried Camembert. Read more

    one of my favorite yakitori bars in SH. the Japanese owner is big fan of the Beatles like me! if you ain't one, you may get sick of it as they play only Beatles in 365 days! great food for sure!

    All right y'all, here is the VERDICT: Kota is not the best yakitori in shanghai, Niao is the best. Here is the tale of the tape. Tebasaki (wings) : Niao [10] Kota [5]. Beef tongue Niao [7] Kota [9].

    Aki's is cool. Went for an after-work Asahi and was impressed by the shochu selection. If I'm back, I'll try some grub.

    Popular spot so must book in advance to ensure seating, service can be slow. Otherwise, awesome place worth a look or two. :-)

    Great yakitori, great music from the Beatles (it does get tiring after a while though), great staff, and this is a perfect place for a beer with friends. Love it!

    Small place with cozy atmosphere. However most time a little too crowded. Food and drinks are good.
