What customers say?

“ Passed by this yakitori many times and didn't dare enter. Today, I took the plunge and did not regret it. In fact, I questioned myself why I hadn't done so earlier! Haha The yakitori were nicely done for most of them. Most were juicy and succulent (especially the chicken thigh) which others crunchy as they should be. Of course, I would love to have them more smoky but it was already a good effort. Service was prompt and helpful and the place has a nostalgic feel to it. ”

“ Hidden in a dark alley at night..away from the busy streets. This small yakitori place is hidden from tourists. Yet you can ask for English or Chinese menu and point at what sounds good. Had meatball, chicken wing, and other random meats all very good at good price. ”

“ Dogen Yotsuya 4-Chome is a yakitori restaurant located one alley away from Yotsuya 4-Chome intersection. I was walking around looking for a place to eat and had a good feeling so I popped in without any prior information. The restaurant has a Showa-era feel. Before I knew it, it was full to capacity. The food was reasonable, the food was good, and the atmosphere was nice. Thank you for the meal. ”
