Gonpachi Nishiazabu - Kill Bill Tokyo Restaurant
Restaurant in Tokyo
Had a great time there! Service is awesome, especially conversing a bit with my waiter (Ryu-san). It is really busy there because it is a big attraction to a lot of tourist, but overall the atmosphere plus the food and drinks is a nice experience!

One of the best meals I’ve had in Japan and I have eaten at some of the best in the country. The chef and staff were wonderful and welcoming. I wished I lived in Osaka so I could come here regularly. I can’t wait to come back and have dinner again.

Gonpachi Nishiazabu - Kill Bill Tokyo Restaurant
Restaurant in Tokyo
Thoroughly enjoyed the meal here. The staff were very friendly and the yakitori is top notch. This is definitely not a traditional yakitori joint and skews more towards fine dining.
Had some trouble finding the place as Google maps wasn't much help and the shop was underground.

Bird Land Ginza
Restaurant in Tokyo
There’s no better pairing for a tall glass of beer than a platter of juicy yakitori chicken skewers. Following a waste-not-want-not philosophy, very few parts of the chicken aren’t utilized in this cuisine — you can try everything from the breast and wings to the liver and gizzard.
Having started as a popular Japanese street food, these snacks have now been a favorite of Japanese izakaya gastropubs for years, where you’ll find the chefs hard at work beating at open charcoal grills with with their handheld fans, as the smoky smell of grilled meat fills the air. And although it’s a pub food favorite, some restaurants have started taking the yakitori craft to new levels with high-grade, premium meat and inventive dishes.
Within byFood’s range of yakitori restaurants in Japan, you’ll discover this whole range of delicious chicken eateries. Reserve your spot to discover why this social dining style in a mainstay on the Japanese food scene for everyone from partying salarymen to gourmet connoisseurs.
