Sumibiyakitori Kidori@Arcadia ★★★

Fantastic Yakitori Soft Opening. High quality yakitori with fresh chicken. Love the Sasami a bit raw in the center. Yakitori Chef Tomoyuki-san from Japan looks like Hong Kong actors Daniel Wu and Anthony Wong. Always handsome chefs at Yamato-san's restaurants. 10 skewers Yakitori Omakase $80 per person with add-ons available. 720mL corkage fee $50. Green Tea $5. Reservations available on Tock.
