I was going to leave a 1 star review so that influencers don't blow up our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood.

There's no place like Moku. You can come here to celebrate and/or to lighten your mood, the vibe is so versatile. The food always comes out hot; I love that the specials reflect seasonality and freshness. The service is also superb, you'll feel right at home :) Highlyyyy recommend <3

Steak skewers are fantastic, but not the scallops–on the side it’s over grilled and I can see the black crunchy part, and it shouldn’t be like that. Fried oysters are too chewy, felt like they could do better pre frying. Atmosphere is great, but a bit of over priced for the amount of food we (group of two) had, and we still weren’t full after spending $100+ pre tipping.

The server was great. The food could definitely be improved. Idk if we came on a bad day but the beef tongue felt on the verge of going bad. It was very mushy and had a fishy pasty texture and flavor to it. The only thing I really enjoyed was the yellowtail collar

The yakitori was cooking to its highest quality!! I got the wagyu yakitoki (skewer) and I was cooked very well!! I highly recommended this place to eat Japanese skewers!

Simply delicious. Great service with kind and generous staff. The food was prepared with care and tasted fantastic. The smoked salmon sashimi is absolutely mouth-watering. The scallop and wagyu skewers are packed with flavour. I will be back for more!

Great yakitori option in the Richmond. Food is simple, fresh and tasty. The service is welcoming, and soundtrack was on point. Would definitely like to be local here.

I’m not sure why there are so many stars for this place. I’m going to say it’s because SF doesn’t have any other yakitori places to compare with. My stars are compared to returning from Japan. So for those of you who were craving yakitori from Japan you will be sorely disappointed. There isn’t a choice listed to have salt or teriyaki. All the teriyaki sauce is drizzled on top instead of cooked with the meats. There is no dipping sauces either. Basically can’t taste any of the meats due to the sweet sauce. The squid was basically sushi squid slices on a stick with no flavor.The prices were not comparable to the dish. Bacon was soft on the inside with no crispiness- it was basically a soggy bacon. Definitely not going back and will have to travel to San Mateo next time to satisfy my yakitori itch.The seating is very tight between tables so it’s not comfortable for larger people. It might be cozy to some but for larger people it’s uncomfortable.

First time getting yakitori in the US and this place rivaled a shop in Japan. Got a variety to try and it was all great. Recommend the mune and the unagi. Melt in your mouth tender. Quality was excellent and I would be coming back if I lived closer!
