Okiya

I thought Gyu-​kaku was awesome, but this place puts everywhere else to shame (except some select moo-​katah locations)!
I wasn’t sure what to except, the entrance (by design) is non-​descript and tucked away. I wasn’t even sure it was the right place. Luckily, I had gone with some friends who have been there before and booked, way in advance I’m sure.
It was different than a lot of BBQ places I’ve gone to, with a large slab of metal in the middle of the table. It was reminiscent of a pancake iron.
All the food was ordered, plus some specialty plates. Though a shame I didn’t takek pictures, everything was delicious! The owner made sure we were being taken care of (not sure if this is normal customer service), the cook made sure we were making our food right, and each meal was just that — perfect!
Add plenty of sake and beer and the night was set. My mouth was salivating at each meal being prepared and was never let down. If you’re a BBQ lover, or simply enjoy something different, this can’t be missed!

Juicy deliciousness, but good luck booking a table. You will smell like meat after. :)
