Best Japanese food in San Diego. The meat is so tender and tasty it melts in your mouth. Everything was delicious and very clean. Kay our server was attentive and very friendly. She provided outstanding service. HIghly recommend!

Good spot for grilled skewers but nothing seemed to really shine except the chicken thighs. Everything was grilled to medium doneness which made beef items a little more tougher. Maybe they need to cook closer to the coals, the beef tongue and beef short ribs were a bit overcooked - could greatly benefit if cooked to medium rare.

Service was good. The atmosphere felt lively.

At least the best in California. Their chicken skewers are perfect. All of them tasted great. Look forward to visiting again.

Generally taste good, recommend beef tongue! (limited to 1 skewer per person). Good to reserve in advance through phone call.

Japanese style skewers place, and this place just nailed it!! Great food and service with perfect atmosphere. I would visit over and over!! Easy five stars. I tried not only skewers but other foods too, and they were all good.

There was a lot of vegetarian options, but I was not incredibly impressed with the dishes I had. Although, it did give me a chance to try a new meal: the green tea noodles.

My takeaway: Yokohama is a good place to get some quick bites and a hot cup of sake! Overall this restaurant is unique, fast, and charming.

Please make a reservation to ensure you have a proper two hour time limit. We came at 5pm without a reservation and they told us we need to finish by 6pm so that they could get ready for the party at 6:15pm. At 5:45pm, they made sure to tell us last call for any orders.

We ordered two of what we liked. Service was quick and we were out by 6pm. Everything was delicious, can’t go wrong with what you order. My favorite was the Kalbi. Everyone else loved the chicken meatball. That was too salty for my liking.

Parking in this plaza could be tricky but if you come early, there are plenty of spaces.

Fantastic food, the Chicken Rice Bowl was amazing. The chicken thigh skewer was also really tender and juicy. The only downside is there is a really long wait for the food, and it is usually at least 1hr+ if you don't have a reservation. A lot of the seats are empty and they stayed empty an hour later when we got our seat so I wonder why they didn't just seat some people there. Parking here is tricky, there's usually not a lot of spots.
