in:Yakitori spot like Oh Taisho1 pts
replying to u/Flashy-Mongoose-5582: Interesting.. their lunch menu doesn’t have the Kawa/chicken skin though? That’s what Oh Taisho does best, I feel like. Good recco nonetheless, will try this weekend 👍🏼
“I actually prefer Taisho's chicken skin anyway, it's a bit more trashy (more char, heavier on the tare), but that's what I like.”

“This place was ok, but I've had much better yakitori. Less clean of a flavor and they were a little heavy handed with the sweet sauce put on everything.”

“It’s definitely on a lower tier, but if you can get the ramen at Oh Taisho without also ordering 5 meatball yakitori, you’re a stronger person than I am.”

replying to u/sunflower-sandy: Definitely go for Yakitori Totto for good juicy yakitori, or Torishin (serves chicken only but amazing quality) for a higher end experience! Both are in Hells Kitchen

replying to u/thansal: Man, I thought you meant that Yakitori Taisho closed and was going to be sad. That said, while it's not nearly as cheap as Taisho used to be (gods I miss that), NONONO is only a bit more expensive for a lot of their skewers (like 25-75 cents), though some are $1-3 more (skin, tongue).
