Mokutanya offers a memorable dining experience with delicious yakitori, tapas, and ramen in a cozy setting. The restaurant features low tables where shoes are removed, creating a distinct and relaxed atmosphere. The menu includes a variety of yakitori options such as butabara pork belly and salt & pepper wagyu beef, which are flavorful and tender. Guests can enjoy sunken private glass booths, adding to the intimate environment. The place is lively, often buzzing even late at night, making it a great spot for drinks and conversations. Service is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. While the food is generally excellent, some dishes like the chicken knee cartilage, chicken meatballs, grilled squid, and ramen noodles stand out. The ramen has smooth, flavorful noodles, though portions might be small for some. The menu also suggests enjoying protein-heavy dishes first, then finishing with carbs like ramen or yaki-onigiri. Parking can be limited, but street parking is available nearby. Overall, Mokutanya is highly recommended for those who enjoy Japanese cuisine and a friendly, lively atmosphere.
