Stylish and delicious izakaya in Hakata 虎乃家

We found a really good charcoal grilled yakitori place while walking through the Nishi- Naka su area. This izakaya is located on a narrow and dim street. The entrance is not wide, but has a large red lantern hanging in the front with the shop name. What attracted us was the shop name - vegetable roll! We visited at 930 pm on a Monday night and it was still packed with people. The place only has about 30 seats, and we were lucky to be given a table without having to wait. As with many izakaya, the tables are small and space is tight, but this place has bamboo curtains between the tables which gave some privacy for the customers. There are also a counter of seats facing the cooking area. The menu has many kinds of yakitori and we specifically ordered their specialty of vegetable yakitori omakase. The vegetable yakitori were rolled up with different meat, such as bacon or sliced pork- and were grilled to perfection - tender and juicy inside and crispy on the outside. Total bill with drink for 2 was less than ¥6000. What a great place! Definitely recommend this place and try to make reservation in advance.
