Oh, the motsu hot pot that they serve at Yakitori Ando! It's possible that it's for the IYKYK crowd, as motsu is beef intestines or other offal that, unlike tripe, deliver a funk-free richness. Other offals include liver and kidney. After being simmered in a mild dashi broth, motsu bestows a lip-smacking unctuousness on the accompanying tofu and ali'i mushrooms. Chives and dried chiles add sharp accents to the dish. Ando's motsu nabe, which was highly coveted by connoisseurs during the restaurant's previous incarnation at Kohnotori, is exceptionally generous with its portions of motsu.

BYO beverage, omakase yakitori & hotpot restaurant. Hard to make a booking but its delicious and very satisfying.

Omakase yakitori and motsu (intestine) nabe! Excellent meal (we enjoyed the yakitori so much, I completely forgot about pics!). I did get a shot of our motsunabe which you finish with. It was so good, they let us take the broth home afterwards. Expect to be there 2-3 hours for this omakase (enjoy your time company!). And the restaurant is also byob!

Amazing value at around 50-60 per person.

Great experience. Delicious, fresh, hot yakitori with great flavor and perfectly seasoned. Chef Ando makes sure the customer has a great experience and fills them up with love-filled food. I was not left with an empty stomach; plenty of delicious chankonabe ended our night. The chanko was so so flavorful and packed with hearty veggies. Great experience overall, will be returning!

Very delicate taste, loved all the skewers. I wish they have chicken skin and cartilage as part of the omakase! You can bring your own beverage to this place, and there is a parking lot right across from the plaza, very convenient?It was ~$50/person. If you don’t eat guts, make sure to tell them in advance so they can make accommodations!

Attentive staff and amazing food. Get the motsu nabe! Better get that reservation way in advance. Byob too.
