" The food was nice, but the service was frustratingly slow. It took forever to get the bill, and we were constantly left waiting. The yakitori itself was great, and I can't complain about the taste—I just wish the service was more prompt. " (*Curated Review*)

" Perfect for a cozy night out. The skewers were a delight, bursting with authentic flavors! I can see why people rave about this place. Just prepare yourself: it's a lengthy experience, but honestly, it's totally worth the wait if you're dining with friends and enjoying drinks together. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not going to lie, I was rather disappointed. I came here after hearing all the hype. The food was good, but the portions are shocking small for the price. Service was alright, but the overall experience didn’t meet my expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Yakitoriya exemplifies authentic Japanese yakitori! However, the service lagged significantly on our last visit. While the flavors tantalized our taste buds, we were left waiting too long between courses for my taste, which dampened the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)
