Yakitori Ginza | gà nướng than hoa quận 2 | Japaneseizakaya - Restaurant in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

Tucked away in town, this little yakitori spot feels like a warm slice of Japan—small, cozy, and instantly relaxing. The vibe is perfect for an easy night out, especially with their solid lineup of Japanese sake to sip on. We grabbed seats at the bar, which turned out to be the best choice—you get a front-row view of the chef working the grill, and it’s mesmerizing to watch. Every skewer we tried was spot on. The chicken skin was grilled to golden perfection—crispy, flavorful, and addictive. The chicken liver? Cooked just right, medium rare with that rich, fatty taste that melts in your mouth. The wings, pork belly, shiitake mushrooms—all fantastic. Even the humble celery pickle had us impressed. Prices lean on the higher side, but honestly, with this quality and the attentive service, it feels worth it. If you’re craving yakitori in Vietnam, this is the place to go.

Tried many yakitori places in town and was glad to have stumbled upon this gem. It has a good mix of classic authentic yakitori items; favourites have to be zuri, kokoro, tebasaki, kawa, bonjiri & tsukune and some new dishes that we have since loved a lot; cream cheese baguette; honey sweet potato with butter. Definitely try their new chicken ramen, the chef made some tweaks over time since they first had it on the menu. Now it features a 12-hour chicken-only broth. This has been our favourite go-to yakitori place to get our yakitori fix. The chef owner is still making upgrades to his menu and is very receptive to feedbacks, just the way all f&b places should be.

The atmosphere is just like what I felt in Japan but more like a modern and better version. The Yakitori menu was very delicious like it’s worthy trying all the different menus. I love the asparagus with bacon and chicken neck. Also the bar snacks including potato salad, cream cheese bread and ramen were also pretty tasty! The staffs were so kind and the yakitori is cooked right after the order received, so you would join the fresh hot yakitori. Price is also reasonable

Place where you can feel a bit of Japan. Good amount of skewer variation. Neat and cozy place. Staffs seemed to speak many languages, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, English.

This was a really nice experience! The Yakitoris are grilled to perfection here! The chicken Yakitoris are delicious and juicy!
