AI-generated summary
where they grill every part of the chicken, at a 12 seat counter wrapped around the binchotan grill. People call it the best in the city and say the chef puts on a show. It's expensive, often over $200 a person once drinks and add-ons land. The common advice is to skip the non-chicken items.

“If you want something a bit more unique without breaking the bank, I'd suggest Kono. It's a fancy Yakitori place that serves every part of the chicken with different preparations in a very intimate setting. I know Torien is the upscale Yakitori place with the Michelin star, but Kono is better by far.”

“I would personally recommend Kono for their Tori Yakitori omakase. It’s a very intimate dining experience with the grill situated within a circle of counter seating. Don’t let the fact that it’s Yakitori fool you, it’s anything but simple.”
