Ken Yakitori is my favourite restaurant in Auckland. I have been coming here for 20 years and it is always a great time. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very cool and lively. They have a big selection of skewers and smaller dishes designed to be shared and also some larger dishes. Good s
We had read about this place before coming to Auckland for the World Cup and it did not disappoint. The portions are perfect and allow you to try multiple without getting full quickly. Definitely come here! Staff is all very friendly and attentive and made the experience pleasant along with the food
Great little Yakitori Bar. Couldn’t stop ordering! The beef tongue and chicken hearts and hearty miso soup my favourite!
An old favourite from even 15 years ago. Every time we come here we have a protein galore.
Special mentions: beef tongue, pork belly, chicken mince.
Very good food although somewhat expensive. The yakitori combo is enjoyable in order to figure out what you like before ordering more. The small plates are good for sharing.
I had the agedashi tofu on the side. It was very tasty as well with an excellent broth. Among the skewers, I really enjoyed t
All foods are perfect. The chicken skin is good, and i like unlimited cabbage. Sashimi is delicious but expensive. Highball is bland.Draft beer is fine. The food here is perfect. sometimes its added twice (Check the receipt carefully when paying)
This is the best yakitori place I've been to in Auckland. Ken is legit. The offering is real and reflective of a typical yakitori bar in Japan. The service could be better but I'll get over it. It's mainly if I compared it to Japan.. otherwise fine.
The best & authentic Yakitori joint I have ever been to in my life!!! Not only all the foods and drinks were great and authentic but also service provided was the one that made me really enjoy the whole experience while I was dining there. Its decors and atmosphere reminded me of good & traditiona
Really nice food, been here for couple times
Nice food for late night dinner, been here last decade. The ox tongue in the combo was always overcooked, otherwise everything was good. I noticed the hearty beef soup was more like a stew, it was tasty not too salty. Their chicken wings were one of favorite nicely grilled.
Best Yakitori Bar in Auckland.
The food is always cooked to perfection - as in how much the food is cooked, the perfect flavouring of salt/sauce. Highly recommend the Beef Tongue and Pork Belly!
Atmosphere is cozy, with high beat music going in time with the man behind the grill. It is mesmerising
Must try prawn with pork! Amazing! Beef croquets.
Yes tiny portions, yes you wait. But the ambience and (seriously delicious) Japanese beer will make it up for it. You won't fill up they way you do on a burger but I think Japanese food can teach you that there is a magic in small bites (and if not,
Small restaurant with delicious yakitori skewers. Prawn wrapped with porks skewers and scallops skewers are highly recommended. Small mixed sashimi dish is nice and fresh. Mio sparkling sake tastes great as well😋 Overall, it's a bit pricy but the food is delicious and the service is good. Have to bo
It would give a feeling that you are at some local yakitori place in Japan. Visited twice a week. The foods were so delicious and the service was good (especially, thanks to Myu). The tables are very small though. My favorites were ramen, yakitori (chicken thighs with spring onion, and beef sirloin)
Some of the best food I've had in years! Great service, delicious yakitori that look simple but are steeped in skill and craftsmanship! A real Food experience and one we will remember for a long time!
Well... We're back again. Still fantastic! Food and atmosphere are so good!
Amazing food, great atmosphere and wonderful staff! Like being in Japan but without the flight. We've been coming here for many years and it's consistently excellent!
