tiny, loud, with that signature charcoal smell filling the air. Just the way a yakitori place should be. the food is on the expensive side for the quantity you get, but it's authentic yakitori made in a classic style. the menu is missing a few yakitori items I would like, but most of the basics are there. My favorite was the beef with wasabi. Pork with shiso was another highlight. Definitely recommend reservations, there isn't space for more than a few parties inside.

Came with a group for dinner, and made reservations ahead. The place gave me a true Japanese yakitori bar vibe from the start. People were welcomed and farewelled like in Japan. It seemed like they had different specials each day and week. The menu was simple and easy for ordering. Got an order of almost everything from the yakitori menu and was not disappointed with flavor. Tried a few things from the appetizer menu. My favorites are the chicken heart, chicken thigh, pork belly, and chicken karaage. Black sesame seed ice cream is what they had for dessert. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable with their menu. The cooks even came from behind the grill to check on us. I would definitely come back and become a regular.

A long time ago, Yakitori Yakyudori opened in Hillcrest and we frequented that restaurant almost weekly 😆❤️ we moved away out of state and a couple of years ago found Taisho and it’s still our favorite Yakitori place ever. We’ve tried lots of different places. That binchotan grill makes a huge difference. 👌 service is always friendly. Small place, make a reservation.

This is NOT a sushi place, but savory and delicious. Trapeza sake is a chilled light sake refreshing with every sip. The calamari was my favorite (with tentacles) lightly battered and lightly fried. Scallops, I can only explain melts in your mouth, cooked top perfection. The soy butter sauce I dipped everything in 🤤 The skewers, I had Wasabi beef and thighs, also cooked to melt in your mouth. They don't have hot sauce if wondering, but they have a chili sauce and powder I mixed that did the job and didn't take away from their amazing flavors. 💯Must try this quaint delicious eatery, ticked away in a divey vibe strip mall. Yall won't be disappointed!

Arrived at 5:45 and was seated right away at 6:00. Skewers were good to amazing, delicious but far from fancy. Beef, chicken heart, chicken thigh with onions, and scallops were favorites. Service was friendly but not over the top. Pacing was perfect, about 1.5 hours to eat over a large bottle of sake. Any shortcomings of the space were made up for by the quirks, like many unusual but harmless “rules” posted around the place. Will definitely return.
