We were quite surprised that ISHOKUYA Watami was pretty packed, as we initially thought it might be quiet. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. Overall, the yakitori was very good. We enjoyed it so much that we placed a few repeat orders. The flavours were well-balanced and nicely grilled. Will definitely come back for another visit if I’m here again.

Traveling to Japan? Not sure where to go? Come grab some of the best fried chicken at ISHOKUYA Watami. The atmosphere is amazing and welcoming. Amazing people and the owener, the man ,the legendary Takey is the best part.

This is absolutely one of the best izakayas we've had in Tokyo and it's in a non tourist area. The crowd is mostly locals and very nice people. No Frills working people, students, young people a few foreigners but the food is absolutely excellent. The Yakitori and sashimi were excellent you must try it if you're in this area. Not a food destination but real good food for real people. This is not a fancy place. Very humble but clean with real binchotan charcoal yakitori and fresh seafood. We had sashimi, fried chicken and yakitori. You can spend very little and be full. We spent more just to taste everything we wanted. Absolutely delectable food and great service. Very little English but they have an English menu. Staff can speak English but not the main person.

Delicious food and very generous portions. We ordered too much because we thought there would be less, but it turns out it was just a very good deal. Food was well seasoned, hot, and tasty. Sashimi and yakitori were perfect!
