This yakitori stand is truly amazing. The chicken skewers were cooked and served perfectly, and it’s such a comfort food on a freezing windy afternoon. We went to another renowned Michelin starred yakitori restaurant exactly a night before we had Erotori (this yakitori stand). The food we had here is comparable with or even better than the Michelin starred restaurant (with 1/10 of the price). This place is real. It has the real yakitori spirit just like how it’s started in Japan. Served from the street to the general public. No fancy stuff but truly delicious food. We love it.

Delicious skewers, can’t believe this exists in Hoboken!
I got chicken wings, thighs, gizzard, breast, knee, and pork belly. I loved them all but if I have to choose top 2 they would be the wings and the pork belly.
The owner/chef also add unique sauces to each skewers like spicy bbq or honey ketchup!
Owner/chef was also super friendly talking to everyone and getting to know his customer as well as bring out the food to where you stand.
Please help support so that we can have him as our local staple forever in Hoboken/Jersey City and don’t have to go into NYC or Flushing.
He also takes order on Instagram if you don’t want to wait in line and come pick up your order quicker.

Veryyy good!! Want to order them often and wish he does delivery too!
General Comments: - Although it takes a while, it's clear that the time is used to deliver quality. 😌 - Perfectly cooked skewers with smokey flavor. 🔥 - I was afraid the chicken might be raw because the skewers are thick, but no, they were thoroughly cooked AND juicy. - The mushroom and chicken thigh skewers were also great but the other two I recommended were even better.

Great eats!

Very good skewers, better than any yakitori in the city!

Justin, who grills and sauces your skewered meat as you watch at this unassuming al fresco food cart in downtown Hoboken, earned a degree from Johnson and Wales, and worked at Michelin-starred Torishin in Manhattan, so he knows Yakitori. Ask for “chicken thigh” and you can expect several distinct, skillfully butchered cuts, possibly including the especially juicy “oyster” and filleted inner thigh, neatly arrayed and, as it turned out, juicy and delicious.

I was lucky enough to find Justin's cart one day when I was looking for food in Hoboken. I read the reviews and gave it a shot. Now I can't stop going back. The chicken is amazingly flavorful and tender every time. I'd never had a chicken oyster before but its now a staple every time I come back. Justin's also a really cool and personable dude. I hope he stays for awhile, its highly recommended.
I enjoyed the food I got at Erotori. The skewers were delicious and the chef accommodating. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in Hoboken

This is easily some of the best food I’ve had in the whole NYC area and definitely the best yakitori I’ve ever had. Each skewer was uniquely seasoned and delicious. Getting food here and sitting by the water to eat it is a perfect experience. Also the Hey Yogurt is right next to it, so it’s easy to get a yummy drink/dessert with the meal! Erotori does also offer a mochi dessert I’ll be sure to try next time
