" Yokohama Yakitori Koubou offers an authentic izakaya experience that is hard to find outside Japan. The flavors are spot on, and the grilled items almost take you back to the streets of Tokyo. The only issue we encountered was the slow service and a few mix-ups in our order. However, the food quality definitely makes up for it. An absolute must-try for yakitori fans! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot for some late-night snacks! Their skewers come out quick and cooked over charcoal, giving that nice char flavor. I particularly enjoyed the garlic steak skewer. The service was reasonable for such a busy spot, but seating is limited, so arrive early to get a place. I didn't try dessert as I was too full from the meal, but next time I'll make it a point to save some room for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love yakitori, you simply cannot miss this place! It's my new favorite. I had an amazing experience here, and the food tastes incredibly fresh. The variety is excellent, and the sushi also looked fantastic even though I was there for the skewers. I loved the calm atmosphere; perfect for a date night. Just make sure to make a reservation so you don’t miss out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try this restaurant after hearing good things, and it did not disappoint. The yakitori selection is impressive and genuinely reminded me of my times in Japan. The beef tongue and pork belly were my favorites – so tender! The atmosphere is inviting but can feel a bit cramped during peak hours. Just be prepared for a potential wait if you don’t have a reservation, but trust me, it’s worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, after all the hype, I found Yokohama to be only good, not great. While the atmosphere was charming, the food did not meet the expectations set by my friends. The skewers were decent but seemed a little overcooked compared to others I've had. Perhaps I ordered the wrong items as the others at my table loved their choices. Overall, I’d say it’s a nice spot to try, especially if you’re with a group that knows what to order. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited this lovely little spot with high hopes and I can say without a doubt that it lived up to expectations! The yakitori was absolutely fantastic – grilled to order and the flavors were spot on. The service was attentive although we did notice a few mix-ups which they handled well. The atmosphere is a nice mix of traditional and modern – very inviting. Overall, I would definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was just ok. I had heard amazing things about the yakitori, but it fell a little short for me. The chicken skewers were tasty, but a couple of them felt a bit dry. The ambiance is nice and cozy, which I appreciate. The service, however, left something to be desired as it was a bit inattentive during our visit. I might come back, but I’d probably want to try different skewers next time. " (*Curated Review*)
