Yakitori Tsuta

The 25 Best Restaurants In San Diego - San Diego - The Infatuation

"You might feel like a character in Midnight Diner entering Yakitori Tsuta’s unmarked door in a Convoy strip mall. Behind the six-seat dining counter, the chef carefully flips and turns round after round of skewers, all chicken, as tendrils of smoke rise up from the binchotan charcoal-fueled grill. Highlights include wings deconstructed to allow every inch of skin to render and crisp, juicy bonjiri (aka chicken butt), and a meatball so tender it’s a wonder that it stays on the stick. You can order a la carte or omakase—the latter includes non-skewered bangers like Chino Farm vegetables paired with homemade black sesame tofu, and a rich, deeply chickeny (of course) bowl of ramen." - candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, cora lee, candice woo, candice woo, cora lee, team infatuation
