I’ve visited Yakitori Taisho twice now, but this is the first time I’m sharing a review. This latest visit was unforgettable, with the star dishes being the salmon cream yakisoba and Okaka Onigiri. The creamy, savory yakisoba was a rich delight, and the Onigiri had that perfect balance of salty and umami that left me wanting more.
The yakitori selection was fantastic, as always, with each skewer bringing its own unique flavor and texture. We had the Sunazuri (chicken gizzard) and Teba (chicken wing), both cooked to perfection with that ideal crispy-charred outside. The Hatsu (chicken heart) was a surprising favorite—tender and flavorful. The Tsukune (beef meatball) had a juicy, well-seasoned profile, while the Gyu (beef) and Gyu-Tan (beef tongue) brought a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The Bara (pork belly) was heavenly, and the Ninniku (garlic) added an aromatic touch that paired perfectly with the savory meats. Finally, the Uzura Bacon (bacon with quail egg) was a unique, satisfying bite, combining the richness of the egg with the smoky bacon.
Yakitori Taisho truly delivers an authentic Japanese dining experience. The flavors are spot-on, the food is consistently delicious, and the service is amazing. For the quality and atmosphere, the prices are fantastic, making it a perfect spot for an affordable yet memorable meal. I can’t wait to return for more.

I love this place. I’ve been to Japan before, and there are elements of this place that reminds me of an Izakaya located directly in Japan. The staff are friendly and speak Japanese, whether they are Japanese or not. And the food is really good. Known mainly for their Yakitori, Taisho also has an extensive list of other dishes on the menu that deserve some love and attention from customers as well. This is one of my go-to spots when I’m in the area…
Delicious food, friendly staff, lively and exciting ambiance! Sat at the bar and had the grilled squid and tan tan udon, definitely coming back here soon!

This is one of my favorite places to eat in. The food is amazing, the service is great, and even if it's crowded, you can still walk around with no problem.

I ordered two dishes, one was pork chop curry rice and the other was kimchi pot: the curry was not the stereotypical Japanese curry, it was more like a bit of curry in the meat sauce, so-so; the kimchi pot, to be honest, I Just boil a pot of water at home, put some kimchi in it, and you can enjoy the same taste as in this store.

Insanely flavorful. Hadn’t been to the restaurant in over 13 years and decided to go back. Food was absolutely bursting with flavor. Must get are the skewers, salmon cream noodles, tonkatsu ramen and fried rice. The hot sake is an excellent pairing to everything as well as a cold beer. My children (ages 7 and 11) LOVED the food and kept exclaiming how tasty everything was. We went as soon as they opened. Will definitely be going back.

Lively spot for some late night drinks and bites!
4/5 Cassis Soda -- hits the spot, but I think Kenka does the cassis drinks a bit better
4/5 Set B Yakitori-- great grilled flavor, variety in this set, and enjoyed the sauce! Portion size is a bit small for the price.
3.5/5 Okonomiyaki -- tasted a bit undercooked to us, very dough-y in texture without any discernable pieces of meat within.

The beef curry with pork tonkatsu did not disappoint. This is a great alternative to Kenka. The yakitori are relatively wallet-friendly as well.
