Monjiro Yakitori

BEST yakitori I’ve ever had.ever.
This place was packed by the time we got there, and my friend from Japan really insisted that we eat here with him. It was his first time too, but many people were raving about it!
We waited about 30 – 45 minutes, and as we waited. we went to another spot to get some drinks.
We were finally seated, and on we ordered! I suck and didn’t take pictures of all the food cause I was so gosh darn hungry. We ordered quite a bit though. Chicken thigh with negi, tongue, rice balls seasoned with shoyu, chicken karaage, tsukune. and they were mindblowingly amazing!
I asked my friend if it was a special kind of chicken they used because it was SO juicy and flavorful! He randomly asked one of the employees, and in Japanese he responded with, «Uhm.just.regular…chicken. I’m glad you like it!!» I was like, I NEED TO KNOW HOW YOU MAKE IT SO JUICAY!
The grilled rice balls were so freakin’ good, too. Ugh. I was talking to the employees mentioning that my bf and I were here just for vacation, and they said to please pleaes come back! I told them, «NO WORRIES.» We were the last ones to leave, and as we were about to leave, they told us to hold on. They gave us each an omiyage (little gift) and it was a mini riceball! So fecking cute. He was like, «Oh you know, when you get hungry, breakfast, drunk snack. enjoy!»
It was just as good later on in the night: p.
Can not WAIT to go back!
