Yakitori Kona - Review - Virginia-Highland - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"The team behind MF Sushi and Kinjo Room diverge slightly from their sushi-centric ways with Virginia-Highland’s Yakitori Kona. The focus here is on meat and vegetable skewers alongside excellent cocktails, making them a perfect spot for light bites and drinks. Plus, half-priced skewers make them a Happy Hour must. Our favorites are the medium-rare steak bits encrusted with crunchy garlic flakes and the OG moist chicken with a tangy umami dipping sauce. Come early because this place usually gets overrun by cocktail-clutching groups who spill out of the small space and onto the sidewalks. But we don’t care where we are—an inside table or sidewalk highboy—as long as we can scoop our favorite skewers and sip on their flowery Live a Little cocktail topped with a savory goat cheese foam. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Pause Unmute" - Juli Horsford
