Food & service are amazing. Definitely make a reservation. quaint place. loved it. Lots of sake options too. Definitely more of date night or groups of 4 and under people. A bit loud, but will definitely be going back again.

one of the best in San Diego. Sake recommendations are solid. The wasabi beef tongue in broth is so tasty.

The yakitori skewers were absolutely delicious. Each piece was perfectly grilled, with a great balance of smoky flavor and juicy tenderness. The seasoning was simple but really brought out the natural taste of the meat. I would definitely come back again just for these amazing skewers.

This time we’re at the Yakitori Taisho.

1. Pork Shiso
2. Beef Daikon
3. Quail Eggs
4. Chicken thighs 

The restaurant has outdoor and indoor seating. We call ahead around 4pm and were booked for 5:30pm.

Yakitori Taisho has authentic Japanese food and sake with excellent service and a friendly staff. They made some of our yakitori (i.e. skewers) gluten-free by bringing the sauce on the side and only seasoning the meat with salt & pepper. 
The sake was unique and delicious. An excellent dining experience for everyone! Cheers 🍶🥢
