" Sadly, my experience was not as great as I hoped. The food simply did not meet the standards set by all the reviews. The yakitori was overcooked and lacked seasoning. The drinks were good, but I expected more from the food. Cute decor but the food disappointed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Secret Fort is truly one of a kind! I felt transported back to Tokyo with their authentic flavors and presentation. The yakitori selection was vast, and every bite was bursting with flavor. Service was wonderful; our waiter had great recommendations. The only downside was that the price is a bit high, but it's a special treat. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came with a group of friends to check this place out and we weren’t disappointed! Each kaku skewer we tried was just amazing. I especially loved the mochi bacon – unique and absolutely delicious. Service was friendly and fast; we didn’t feel rushed. I’d suggest trying their cocktails too; they were fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a cute place! The decor reminded me of my childhood and all the good Japanese snacks! The yakitori was really well made; my favorite was the eel. It paired perfectly with a cold drink. I really enjoyed the vibe here, just felt so relaxing. I will definitely be back to try more on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was a nice find! The drinks were creative and paired well with the food. The yakitori selection was solid, but I felt that some skewers didn't have enough seasoning. I would suggest going during Happy Hour to take advantage of the skewers on special! Overall, I would return but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I got the ebiten roll and a bunch of yakitori for happy hour, a great value! The rolls were fresh and tasty, and the skewers were well-balanced in flavor. I loved the casual atmosphere; it felt lively! Would definitely recommend for an evening out with friends! " (*Curated Review*)
