Ken Yakitori Bar

It's like stepping into a little pocket of Japan. I really enjoy the slower pace of this place. And ordering a few things at a time. They have a top 5 recommended skewers list, and I'd have to second it. The only other thing I'd add is the beef tongue and the grilled rice balls. The latter has such an interesting texture when grilled. The karaage is also a classic must have, as well as the beef tataki. I've also tried the gingko nuts and it's quite the interesting flavour and texture - worth trying once. Though Google tells me I shouldn't eat more than 7 of these nuts in a day... Great sake and classic Japanese beer options. And a very cosy ambience. If you're not a big group, would recommend sitting by the kitchen. Always fun to watch them grill.

I liked the table that sits down on the floor designed for a group of about 8-10. Music playing in the background was very diverse from pop to cultural. Would be nice to stick to one thing. Food was good. I would come back here but it wouldn’t be my first pick but still worth checking out

Japanese style delicate flavours the skewers are absolutely yummy deep fry Camembert with a side pineapple jam broccoli with sesame sauce are my favourites but anything you could find in this menus will satisfy your taste bud the only bad in this restaurant is the charcoal burnt smell will be like a second parfumerie in your clothes but it worth!!

The Best an most authentic Yakitori Bar I have found in a while! The Staff are Japanese, super friendly, and the Sapporo & Asahi on tap is highly recommended with your Yakitori! Arigatou!!

I am always keen to try new yaki tori bars anywhere I go. This one was a pleasant experience, ordered three types of yaki tori and the one I mostly enjoyed was shrimp wrapped with bacon, awesome combo. The onigiri was also very good, loved the sauce the chef ducked in. I sat by the bar, so time flies when you see things being make at your sight. Lovely place!

Do not make my mistake Yakitori on back page :- huge selection. House sale very nice hot. Have Asahi on tap. Prices great, food was so good forgot to take pictures. Small and cozy, great for a group of 4/6 people.

Good food. The tataki was slightly spicy making it better than usual. Would recommend for a chilled night out

Great food and plum wine. Friendly service and an authentic experience. You can sit and watch the yakitori being cooked over coals at the bar. I recommend the salmon 5 skewer set. I like to get a small $4 bowl of rice with it. Then 1 other thing to round out the meal. The cheese chicken things are really nice or a share platter like the beef tatakithin strips of raw meat beautifully seasoned with some shredded cabbage.

The food yakitori was very good. The chef did a great job! Service would have benefited from being much faster and regular. Ended up being there a long time with no service so went somewhere else to eat more. A shame as the food was nice and wanted to order more!

Great little bar, staff were helpful in geting stroller on. The beef was absolutely fantastic. Only downside is the price for the amount of food.Food: 5/5
