Went to Yakitoritei with a few friends for a light dinner at around 9pm. The store was very empty but we decided to give it a try. Boy, was that a mistake. Food: OK. Not bad. Not great. Lacks a chargrilled taste commonly found with better yakitori restaurants. Service: Good. Staff were quick to clear out empty plates.

Food: OK. Not bad. Not great. Lacks a chargrilled taste commonly found with better yakitori restaurants.
Service: Good. Staff were quick to clear out empty plates. However, they had a rather poor attitude when explaining the menu.
Pricing: Terrible! When you sit down you're given tea and salad (some cucumber and cabbage, uncooked) as is the standard in a Japanese restaurant. However, they charge you $20 per bowl without prior notice! And when you point out that you hadn't ordered their salad, they point you to some tiny small print on their menu stating that the salad they give you will be charged to your bill. Also, they put down a wrong order and refused to admit their mistake, instead charging us double for the item and what we had originally wanted. Personally, it's not a money issue as much as it is a sense of being cheated. Additionally, food is slightly overpriced for the small portions they offer.
Overall: Poor. If being ripped off is not your thing, do not offer this restaurant your patronage as your hard earned money is better spent on good food, as opposed to dodgey practices. It's no wonder this place was empty.
