It's not the crispy kind but it's fatty and tender with a springy bite. It's absolutely lovely with the garlic puree and very satisfying with rice.
Take note this isn't the yakitori style, I guess it's more teishoku actl(it looks as if it's lightly seared?)
Yes, what were the odds we ordered leek not knowing tori already had leek? Meat was inconsistent - some pieces were fantastic while some tasted cheap. Leek was juicy although you'd wonder why it's chao tar.

Grilled steak, chicken and Pork belly. Perfectly done but missing its char fragrance. The seasoning was to the salty side which made it very suitable for bar food.

Must try their beef and pork belly. No regret. The high heat sealed in all the juice and

This no frills joint has been around for over 25 years and the same Japanese chef still remains, so you know your food is in good hands!

Start the night with some skewers like the crowd favourite grilled pork belly, Butabara Kushiyaki ($7.50 for four) and the value-for-money chicken skewers, Yakitori ($6 for four). Need something heavier? Order the Nijumaru Bento ($20) โ it comes with a tasty slab of pork belly, fresh sashimi, crispy tempura, rice and miso soup. Reservations are recommended.
Avg price: $40 per person with drinks

4 sticks for $6. Incredible value for money. Quality is good but don't expect this to be an eye opener. This is the kinda place you'll come back again with big groups for the quantity and enjoyable food! I can see this becoming a regular port of call for impromptu post-work dinners or casual buddy hangouts. Clientele is a good mix of Japanese and locals. Provides an English friendly menu.
