| - The concept is clear and perfect. Skewer pieces of meat, (poultry, swine, or bovine) hold them above burning charcoals, Crisp the edges and fatty bits, flip and turn until medium rare, set on slate and serve. The steps are undeniably simple, but the execution and creativeness is tricky. So when it's done right and in front of you, it's commendable.
Yakitori Kintori delivers on its promise of serving delicious and delectable morsels of meat and veggies on skewers. Perfect accompaniment to beer- the salty, juicy tastes of meat turn from good to great with every bite.
I ordered many things between two people and that's another positive about Yakitori, trading and sharing skewers. We tried different things like Japanese Yum (thought it was yam misspelled but it actually wasn't. It was still a potato-like-root), chicken oysters (aka. Chicken testicles), chicken tail (aka. Chicken ass), and etc. It can be a bit overwhelming as well because they serve literally every part of a chicken or pig from the menu, conveniently and anatomically illustrated with arrows to names- balls are under here, ass back here and soft bone... here?
My favorites were the chicken testicles, duck breast, and tail. Lesser favs still worth trying were the Sasami mentei-mayo (which has nothing to do with sesame, in case you wondered), thigh and cheese meatball. On top of the yakitori are other options with rice and noodles or un-grilled like the octopus with wasabi. Everything I had I liked and the variety made the experience delicious. My advise is to try weird things and to see what is delicious before ordering doubles or triples. You'll be surprised with what you may fall in love with.
Pro tip: pass on the beer sorbet, as I mentioned in person while eating, "Only somewhere like Guu can they serve this and have people accept it," otherwise it's just frozen shards of beer - bitter after taste with the only hint of sweet coming from the small dollop of whip on top.
Pro Pro tip: make a reservation because they take reservations.
Overall, I really like Yakitori Kintori. It carries the Guu empire in the right direction not only in atmosphere and space (which is similar to it's first floor sister Kinton) but also flavors and awesome traditional Japanese food done in a unique way. Delicious and affordable, new and exciting come to mind after eating here.
I'll be coming back for sure.
