Best fried food in the area.
Love their skewers. Their Diet Coke tastes flat but their food is too good.

Excellent food but service was average. I used to be a weekly client with an average spend of ~$80 for 1 person and tipped at least 20% but stopped going because at times they lost my reservation (you have to call and they write it down on paper because they do not have an online or digital system) so made me wait and stuck me wherever they could. Otherwise, I would continue to be a regular.
Food, service and ambient are at its bare minimum. Very slow service, crowded, and under staffed. Authentic but in very small portions and over priced. Paying the toll, driving to the city will cost less and taste far better.

Yakitori 39 is a small, intimate restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and tight seating. The service can be slow, but the staff is friendly and welcoming, adding a real and loving feel to the dining experience. Reservations are recommended as the restaurant fills up quickly. While the venue lacks proper ventilation, leaving diners smelling like food, the authentic Japanese experience makes up for it.
The restaurant specializes in yakitori and robata dishes, with a tapas-style menu that offers many selections, including yakitori, sashimi, and ramen. The hot sake and crispy chicken gizzards are popular choices, and even the chicken intestines and chicken skin are delicious. The prices can be surprising, but the food is worth every penny.
Yakitori 39 has a strict no-phone policy, enhancing the traditional and culturally rich environment. Although the venue could benefit from an exhaust system upgrade, it's considered an underrated gem for Japanese food. The Japanese owner adds to the experience, and ordering in Japanese makes it even more special. If searching for authentic yakitori and robata in the NYC area, Yakitori 39 is a hidden gem that shouldn't be missed. Free parking is available within a short walking distance.
