The Yakitori House

We had a wonderful experience! The service was outstanding, and our food came out quickly, hot, and incredibly delicious. We truly enjoyed our evening (perhaps we ordered a bit too much, but it was worth it!). I would definitely recommend this place!

We started with small plates, and the soft-shell baby crab, teriyaki tofu, and grilled unagi were all absolutely delightful. However, our favorite had to be the takoyaki; they were simply irresistible! We may have gone a little overboard with the yakitori skewers, but everything was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with a large mug of Suntory Kakubin Highball. Be sure to try the chicken skin, chicken gizzard, and beef tongue! To complement our skewers, which were on the smaller side, we also ordered some karaage chicken (which was incredibly crunchy!), potato croquettes (pure mashed potato bliss), and deep-fried squid tentacles that paired perfectly with the prawn fried rice. We ended the night on a high note with deep-fried camembert cheese and berry jam, along with a glass of red plum wine—because wine and cheese is truly a match made in heaven! Our meal at The Yakitori House will be remembered fondly, so thank you for an absolutely amazing feast!

Fantastic service and incredible Yakitori! The skewers and food are reasonably priced, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes to sample, and I loved every single one. A special shoutout to the beef tongue, nigiri, and grilled rice ball—they were outstanding!

Ending the work week with good food, good time and good company. My husband and I always loved Japanese food, so it was exciting to learn about The Yakitori House. Their skewers were surprisingly tasty, karaage chicken juicy, donburi delectable and desert sinfully delicious. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

You wouldn't think much of it as its next to dominoes but don't be shy step in and you will be surprised its a cozy Japanese bar/restaurant. Great ambience. Very Japanese vibe. Almost felt like a number of restaurants/bars i went to in Japan! Positive thing is that at least in Nz the staff speaks English very friendly and attentive staff!<br/ <br/ Food is tapas style. Yakitori is typically skewers and grilled/bbq foods. They grill the food amazingly well and flavours are sealed in. Omg the salmon skewers were the best.. and the banana fritters with sesame icecream def worth trying! Drinks are also recommended with a wide selection of sake, beers and a few variety of wines. Asahi beers chilled on tap is always good here! Even better happy hour prices are daily!<br/
