- WWayneVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •691 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoAll I can say is this local grilled yardbird joint is the absolute best I’ve experienced and that includes my hanging out in Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka plus Honolulu since childbirth!! All the skewers are professionally and expertly prepped and presented. Side and rice dishes are deliciously authentic and truly complement all the hard work and time put in by the back of the house. And service is always very Japanese!!More infoHasu Izakaya & GrillPrice: Expensive• Izakaya• Torrance / Carson•4.7
