If you're looking for the ultimate skewer in Saigon, this is it. The grilling is exceptional. I’ve been loyal to their D1 shop and was so happy to discover this new D2 gem. You can't go wrong with the chicken neck, heart vessel, and thigh. The chef also treated us to an amazing beef skewer, which I forgot the name but just show them the photo if you wanna try it.


Yakitori Ginza | gà nướng than hoa quận 2 | Japaneseizakaya - Yakitori restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City
About This Place
Yakitori Ginza operates on a straightforward premise: charcoal-grilled chicken done with Japanese precision, served from 5 PM until the last order at 11 PM every day on Quốc Hương in Thảo Điền. The menu anchors on crispy fried chicken in three- and five-piece portions alongside chicken cartilage — snackable, collagen-rich pieces that hold the table through rounds of drinks. The ramen selection functions as a genuine complement rather than a side project: the tori paitan bowl blends chicken broth with a creamy sauce for a rich, traditional result; the miso version runs fatty and fragrant; the tantanmen brings heat through chili oil and spiced tofu. A braised chicken and egg rice rounds out the heartier options, leaning into the oyakodon tradition without announcing itself as one. Side plates — edamame, haru maki, kimchi, mashed potato salad, soaked eggs — arrive in the izakaya rhythm of small orders that accumulate as the evening stretches. A 4.9 across 343 Google reviews is an unusually high floor for a Thảo Điền restaurant of this size, pointing to consistent execution rather than a single memorable dish. The dinner-only format makes it a natural destination for those wrapping up the workday in the district or anchoring the start of a longer night in the neighborhood. Against the Japanese options nearby that lean toward sushi counters or upscale set menus, this one sits comfortably in a different register: informal, chicken-forward, and suited for lingering well past the first round.

Reviews
I was looking up Yakitori places because I previously found one I enjoyed a lot while I was in Shanghai. This one is MUCH better. The skewers I ordered all came out tender, juicy, and flavorful without tasting repetitive. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned, I had to order extras. Toward the end, I ordered the Tori Paitan ramen and it was absolutely delicious. I had been searching for chicken broth ramen since traveling here and this one was very good. I enjoyed it a lot. The service was exceptional and attentive as well. Iwould love to come back!
Great Izakaya vibe in Thao Dien! Highly recommend getting a seat at the bar. It’s so much fun watching the chef expertly grill each skewer right in front of you. Everything we ordered was amazing, but the chicken thigh with leek, chicken wings, and pork belly were definitely the highlights—so juicy and full of flavor! The tori paitan ramen was also the perfect comforting dish to end the meal, and the mochi ice cream for dessert was delightful. The service was excellent and very attentive. Prices are reasonable for the quality. It gets busy quickly after opening, so I’d suggest coming early. Will definitely visit again!
Yakitori Ginza is an excellent Japanese restaurant with warm hospitality and outstanding food! The chef is very friendly and professional, clearly knows how to cook with skill and care, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The staff are also very fast and attentive, and our food arrived quickly. Everything we tried was delicious, and it is honestly one of the best Japanese meals we have ever had. Highly recommended! ありがとう!
There are so many Izakayas and Yakitori restaurants in many countries, and it is easy to go the basic restaurants, but it is hard to visit a Fine restaurants. Yakitori Ginza is better than the basic taste, but it was not the best. Anyway you will not fail either. Ah, the Ramen was good for hangover. Don't miss this one. Price was not so expensive, compared to other Yakitori restaurants. And there are so many customers in this restaurant. You can enjoy.
