I love this place, you can have so many different types of food, including wagyu, pork belly, pork cheek, oysters, quail egg with bacon, edamame with garlic, shrimp, scallops mushrooms, lamb chops.... all sharable and small portions!Many alcoholic options, too! Warm sake is always a good choice ??? ??? ???

One of the top yakitori spots in the Bay Area. Highly recommend making reservations though.

The beef tongue was amazing, super juicy and tender. But everything else are ok. Some of the chicken are a little overcooked.

really happy i took my mom out here, she’s a picky one and this was up to her standards. a lot of great Japanese dishes and fishes, hamachi kama (collar) was meaty and rich, and takoyaki wasn’t wet and soggy (iykyk). ended it with warabi mochi which is my absolute favorite!

Really enjoy Yakitori Kokko restaurant.Prices are reasonable and food is delicious.We love the skewers (pork cheek, pork belly, beef tongue), eggplant, takoyaki, agedashi tofu, egg dashi omellete, steamed baby clams.Also love the black sesame ramen and kokko ramen. Delicious pork broth (kokko ramen) and black sesame ramen flavor (not spicy).Outdoor dining available - around 10 tables with heaters. Love sitting outdoors!We've come here 2 weeks in a row and will be back!Thank you!! :)
