" My partner and I had a lovely evening at Yakyudori. We ordered a variety of yakitori skewers, and it was a fantastic way to spend an evening. The unagi and the chicken gizzards were standout items. It felt very authentic, especially with the lively atmosphere and attentive service. Our only complaint was that some skewers felt a bit overcooked, which detracted from the overall experience. However, the prices were reasonable, so we left satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yakyudori turned out to be a hidden gem in the area! The yakitori was just delicious, and it just felt so authentic. The staff was very helpful, especially when I was trying to figure out which skewers to get. I felt like I was in Japan again! However, the portions were a bit smaller than I expected for the price, which made it feel slightly less satisfying. I would recommend it but with a suggestion to order more than you think you'll need. " (*Curated Review*)

" Yakyudori's authentic vibe struck a chord with me. The skewers were delicious, yet I felt they could have been cooked a bit longer for an extra char. The service was prompt, but the room was loud, which made it hard to hear each other. The value was decent considering the quality of food! " (*Curated Review*)

" The yakitori was delicious but some were a little salty for my taste. The service was fairly quick considering how busy it was. I also appreciated the option to order via their digital menu which made things easier. Dining alone, I ordered several skewers and ended up spending a bit more than I anticipated. Overall, a good meal but be careful with what you choose! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful find in this area! The yakitori was succulent and flavorful, and the variety available made it a real treat. The service was friendly, and I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in. I especially loved their spicy tonkotsu ramen – rich and hearty. Would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Japanese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent little restaurant with a cozy vibe. I love coming here with friends after a long day. The fried chicken was outstanding, and I can't get enough of their miso ramen! The portions could be a little bigger, but I think it's worth the price. The waffle fries they serve are just a bonus. Recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Yakyudori, and while the atmosphere was nice, the service disappointed me. We were seated quickly, but then it took ages for someone to come take our order. The food itself was quite good, especially the yakitori, but it wasn’t as spectacular as I had hoped. Portions felt a bit on the smaller side, so overall, I might consider other options next time.
