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.
Holy moly this was INCREDIBLE. Amazing food, the skewers are great but their appetizers are so good too. Too many things that we wanted to try so we have to come back again. It is pricier (we spent around $40 a person without ordering alcohol) but totally worth it. Recommend the fried shishito and fried baby crab for appetizers and chicken neck and chicken thigh/green onion although all the skewers we had were good. I don't drink but a lot of the menu I'm sure would be great with...read full review
First time, food was amazing but like the other reviews it definitely adds up. However the quality was worth it.

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.
