Great atmosphere, cosy, woody feel. Cultural flavours ending with a nice warm bottle of saki relaxes us perfectly. #shoutme

Awesome food and fantastic service

So much tasty variety.

Always a great atmosphere and dining experience. Friendly staff, big doses of Japanese beer and saki to go with, highly recommended! :)

This place is awesome. Perfect location for a quick feed out on K Road before heading into town for drinks with friends. Great vibe, reasonable price. 

Meal plan: Start with the edamame and cabbage with Japanese mayonaise. Then move on to the karage chicken, wasabi tuna, broccoli and squid. Accompany with friends, beer and sake. Night sorted.

Whenever I'm stuck for where to eat - Ken Yakitori is always a safe bet! On most week nights they have happy hour before 7. Great for big groups - it's like a summer BBQ! Best takoyaki, broccoli salad and my guilty pleasure deep fried camembert served with marmalade mmmmm.

Ken Yakitori Bar is the best way to enjoy Japanese food. Tasty morsels of food, it's Japan's version of tapas and they are delicious! The staff are very cool and the whole experience quite authentic. 

Second only to tenukis cave.. But some nice options here if u want a change of skewer

My favourite restaurant in Auckland
