Yakitori Ginza | gà nướng than hoa quận 2 | Japaneseizakaya

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.

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!

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.

This place looks good and good vibe but started going wrong the moment we ordered. We ordered draft beers and food, but the first staff member (a trainee) took a long, confusing order without writing anything down. Unsurprisingly, the manager came back saying he’s new staff and asked us to repeat order everything. Fine, mistakes happen. But then the same thing happened again with another “new staff.” Different staff, same excuse, same mistake, repeated multiple times. Now the real problem … food handling and hygiene. One of our skewers (tomato wrapped in bacon) took forever. While waiting, we saw a Japanese family at the next table call staff because they received a skewer they didn’t order. It was our tomato skewer. The staff took it back from their table (where their used bones were already on the skewer plate), asked the manager, and then tried to serve that same skewer to us. That was absolutely unacceptable. A skewer that touched another table’s plate, should never be re-served. We refused and on it being remade. Even worse, another skewer that we never ordered was brought to our table, taken back when we pointed it out and then served to another table outside. We literally watched it happen. Chicken skin: overly salty Ramen: barely warm Lemon sour: no flavor at all Beef skewer: strong unpleasant smell (we spat it out) Draft beer and chicken thigh are only that we enjoyed Price is cheap, clean looking and the manager speaks English so easy to communicate. But when service mistakes and hygiene issues keep happening in an open kitchen, it completely kills trust.

The food is fresh and delicious. The staff are enthusiastic and friendly. Even if you don't speak English, the restaurant has staff who understand Korean to recommend dishes to you. It's fantastic. A restaurant worth experiencing.
