“ Me and my parents arrived in Philly around midnight on a Saturday, hungry. Luckily, we stumbled upon this spot and it did not disappoint. We ordered shrimp tempura udon, shrimp tempura, gyudon with egg, chicken karaage curry, chicken teriyaki with rice and mixed greens, shrimp tempura roll, and two orders of salmon roll. Every dish was appetizing. The portions were generous, everything came out fresh, and the flavors were solid. Perfect place for a late-night bite. Highly recommend if you're looking for delicious food with great service. If I find myself in Philly again, I’ll for sure be back. ”

“ Great food, 2as recommend by rideshare driver and had a great experience, go for happy hour and enjoy or even the regular menu prices are fair ”
“ Always amazing and quick service and quality! Our favorite go to happy hour date night! ”
“ I love to come here. The atmosphere is very relaxed but the food here is FANTASTIC. I usually go with the yellowtail carpaccio, fried pork dumplings, or pork belly yakitori. I tried the chicken karaage the other night and it was crispy and lovely. My only complaint is that the drinks are on the weaker side, although delicious. ”
“ I tried out yakitori boy last night with my coworker her friend and LET! ME! TELL! YOU! Wow wow wow! For a cute cozy night out with friends, this atmosphere does just the job. Since I wasn’t sure what to order, we asked that Judah made sure the kitchen staff prepared and served the most presentational and delicious dishes they had. We were honestly blown away with everything we had. The selection of yakitori they offered is honestly outstanding- get the yakitori family tray to share with everyone and you’ll see how each one we had was grilled with great flavor. The fish tasted incredibly fresh as well, and their sashimi knocked us almost out of the restaurant. The whole staff was really friendly and attentive, which made ordering drinks a little too easy! I mean, their drink menu offered such a variety of sake and cocktails that paired perfectly with the food, so how could you not? I recommend the tamarind margarita- she was really cute. If you’re looking for Japanese cuisine with a contemporary twist, Yakitori boy is definitely a go-to when visiting Chinatown! ”
