About Yakitori Ando

Yakitori Ando offers the best value in town with fresh ingredients and perfectly grilled dishes. The nabe is delicious and filling, and the motsunabe has also become a favorite among customers. The intimate seating and friendly service create a memorable dining experience. Chef Ando, a former sumo wrestler, brings authenticity and unique flavors to the cuisine, making this restaurant a beloved neighborhood izakaya. The atmosphere is cozy, with a BYOB option for a great time. Parking is available across the street at BOH, with the first hour paid by Ando San. Overall, Yakitori Ando is a hidden gem that locals cherish.

New customers have shared that the lively atmosphere always makes for a fun night out. Beyond the amazing chicken dishes, the kitchen also served charcoal-grilled Wagyu beef. The chicken yakiyori was good, and the star of the show was the hotpot. They offer an omakase experience that is authentic and memorable. The meal is incredible, but guests must know that reservations are hard to get. Every skewer coming off the grill is packed with flavor, and the chef works hard managing multiple tables at once right in front of the hot charcoal grill. Being BYOB with a great group of friends only adds to the experience. It never disappoints and is absolutely worth it every time.

It’s hard to get reservations and you can try calling before they open to see if there is any cancellation. We called ten minutes before they open and luckily got seats for same day, felt so lucky!! Delicious food and relaxing atmosphere. Will always visit if we get seats.
Came here for an omakase experience and it was fantastic! It’s a BYOB spot, so a great pro-tip is to grab some sake beforehand at the nearby Tamura's Fine Wine & Liquors Waialae.

The meal was incredible—besides amazing chicken dishes, they also served charcoal-grilled Wagyu beef. The grand finale was the motsunabe (beef offal hot pot), and right before finishing, they asked if we wanted to add noodles or rice to the broth. We left completely full and satisfied!

My wife, friends, and I have been to Yakitori Ando a few times now, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently incredible, the service is excellent, and the lively atmosphere always makes for a fun night out.

Every skewer coming off the grill is packed with flavor, and the motsunabe is always a highlight. Being BYOB with a great group of friends only adds to the experience.
