About this spot
Wataridori serves up crisp, charcoal-grilled yakitori skewers that are distinctly better than the average street stall fare. The menu features juicy chicken hearts and tender thigh meat that you should order straight off the grill without asking for extra sauce.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order 'tama' (egg) to be cooked on the side of your skewers for a rich, creamy finish.
- Bring cash only, as this Yanaka spot rarely accepts credit cards or mobile payments.
- Arrive early in the evening to avoid the long queue forming right outside the door.
