Yorimichi Yakitori

We chanced upon this izakaya while exploring food options at Golden Mile Tower. It was a nice surprise as the food was really good with some interesting items on the menu. We came in at off-peak hour so the service was very fast and the staff was attentive, accommodating our request. The ambiance is nice with quirky decor and good music, which reflects an authentic izakaya ambiance in Japan. The restaurant seems to be a good spot for group gathering.

Our first visit and it's quite a stumble really - this gem is so well tucked away from public eye that you will really need to know your way around. Yet the dinner (drinking?) crowd streamed in out of nowhere, and we probably would not get a table if we arrive a tad later. The food is undoubtedly good stuff - we both enjoyed the mentaiko pasta and the beer (on tap) thoroughly. The pasta was nicely done - very saucy and flavorful (like a good carbonara), while the beer just washes it down sublimely. The yakitori took quite a while and there were some hits and misses - the miso pork was a clear winner while the chicken leg is likely to be skipped on the next visit; the rest were okay. As the wife puts it, she'd recommend it only if they're in the area and wanting to try some good izakaya, but there's a fair chance that we will return for the mentaiko and beer.

Awesome to be here… oyster taste so good with yuzo sauce sake 1.8L and dark beer, salmon sushi, grilled fish, squid, chicken wing and lastly beef tongue is so good .
