Brighten in there than normal. Losing its mood a bit

Delicious and great service! The grilled skewers and chicken rice bowl were delicious.

It’s been over a year since I last went to Yakitori Boy so I was looking forward to going back. Food and alcohol selection has never been a disappointment. They did discontinue one of my favorite dishes, Beef Nagamaki which is what I was looking forward to getting. I hope they bring it back! I think the business might be under new ownership? Either way, it wasn’t a disappointment after not being there for quite some time and it is a great spot for getting together with friends or celebrating a birthday. The service was great too our waiter was able to give us recommendations.

Always fabulous!!! Great food and awesome server! We ate outside last night- the music, the sake, the yellowtail, the spicy tuna, just never disappoints! Oh the fried ice cream birthday cake was soooooo good! Our server gave numerous recommendations and he was 100% every time! One of our favorite places to go with or without kids!👍🏻🍶🍱

Good overall. People will like it…

This was a very disappointing meal. Prior to the pandemic, this was our favorite place to eat. The quality has deteriorated, the menu has shrunk significantly- eliminating our favorites, the wait staff was not attentive leaving one of my party without water for most of the meal, and portions are significantly smaller. The yakitori were also inconsistently cooked leaving the middle bits of the skewers inedible with how rare they were. The Brussel sprouts were still amazing, but even the sushi left something to be desired as the rolls were falling apart and not rolled tightly or cut evenly and served with inadequate wasabi. The tempura came out gummy as opposed to crisp and no longer includes lotus root but has carrot and bell pepper. Definitely the last time I will be going to this restaurant.

Excellent food.

I came here on Friday, June 17 at 11:00 PM and was seated right away. Friend and I got seated at a booth and everything was clean and organized. The sushi roll, shrimp tempura ($7), tastes great. It came with 8 pieces. The yellowtail sashimi was to die for! We ordered 10 pieces. It was so refreshing and tasted so rich. 10/10 would get it again. We ordered three glasses of Pinto Grigio. You can never go wrong with wine and sushi. It was extremely light and went perfectly well with our meal. We also ordered 2 cherry bomb shots ($8 each). It was 3 olives cherry vodka and red bull energy drink. The American Dream Roll ($12) was great. I would say it was definitely a good meal with good company and conversations. The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and energetic. Parking was around the corner and it was good walking distance. Great place for a fun night.

Very good nice service

Great food and ambiance! Fast service and knowledgeable staff
