I had really expected more of Yakitori Kintori.
The concept and the space is great but it isn't really well executed. Food is ok and the service is scattered. Portions are quite small (even for the price).
The high point of the night were drinks. I had a great white wine sangria and the Sapporo beer comes in massive steins.
We ordered a selection of skewers (some beef, pork, scallops, shrimp) to share (we were with friends but we shared in our couple). Shrimp was small and tasteless. The scallop was decent but certainly nothing special. Our beef dishes were also ok but uninspired. Tacos were boring. We had a bun sandwich thing (two different ones) that were also not very interesting. The meatball stuffed with cheese was ok but nothing that special. To be honest, there wasn't one standout dish.
Service was all over the place. I sat all night with an empty glass, hoping to catch the waitress to order another and food sort of got dumped on the table before they skittered away. It was also paced strangely - five or six dishes would come out at once and then nothing but a single skewer here and there for the next little while.
We dropped $100 on a few drinks, some food and a dessert (beer sorbet - that was NOT good). I left still hungry.
I wouldn't go back.
