Best Yakitori Restaurants in Baldwin Hills

Great Food, Great Service. But Pricey! Around $50 per person, and you don't get full, and that's not including drinks.

If you're craving authentic Japanese food, Shin-Sen-Gumi Yakitori & Men-Ya in Alhambra is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with an authentic vibe that transports you straight to Japan. I started with their famous Japanese meat skewers—absolutely delicious! The yakitori was perfectly grilled, with just the right amount of char and tenderness. The flavors were spot-on, and each skewer was a delightful burst of savory goodness. Next, I had the ramen. The broth was rich and flavorful, with a great depth that comes from hours of careful preparation. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the toppings (from soft-boiled eggs to tender slices of pork) really elevated the dish. It's easily one of the best ramen bowls I've had. To round out the meal, I enjoyed a glass of cold sake. It was smooth and refreshing, a perfect complement to the meal. Overall, everything was great. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly without sacrificing quality. Whether you're a fan of yakitori or ramen, this place does it right. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Excellent food and a fun ordering experience through the iPads. Great for larger groups, a fantastic find.

This might be my favorite place to dine for a fun, casual, and delicious meal! We love taking people for their first yakitori experience because it’s so unique. As usual, everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly and our guests were delighted. I highly recommend the pork belly wrapped shiso basil. We all enjoyed it so much that I ordered it twice!
