Came here for a celebration. Found this restaurant on the Michelin guide as they were mentioned here. This restaurant is centered around traditional yakitori but elevated. There were a few unique dishes like pigeon and paella-stuffed chicken wings. They certainly earned the Michelin mention from the good service and great food. If you are a picky eater do not go here. Thank you for a great evening! I recommend!

Food is too slow for Fine Dining Standard.
30 mins for each sticks of Yakitori is a bit too much.
Seeing Head Chef as the only one Griller and struggling to keep up the pace of a  full house is somehow pitiful.
There's even a Japanese Couple walked off halfway as they couldn't wait.

In 14 years of Fine Dining Restaurant in many cities in Japan, this could be one of the worst.
We have tried many Yakitori Restaurants before and we know exactly how it works.

Compared to 焼き鳥 と ワイン 源 moto with the same (or lower) Price,
Food Presentation/ Drinks/ and Hospitality there was another level.

Ended up the whole Ambience was covered with unsatisfied-waiting Customers, that we decided to leave and found near by Ramen Place to complete the night.

Anyway, wish you would take my comments for improvement.

We know doing fine-dining restaurant is tough, but not every Customers are that patient and forgiving by trying to bite as small and have as much conversation as they could.

Cheers

My friend recommended mr this place and decided to stop by here. This is definitely very unique for a yakitori place. They serve yakitori with various sauce paring with wine too. This could be a good place for people who wants to enjoy yakitori in very chic French style dinner. Service here is very good too. Ambience is very nice so great for a date or girls night. If you are into wine, and interested in yakitori, this is the place to go.
