"The sizzling yakitori smell wafting out of Moku Yakitori-Ya will make you ditch any reservation you might already have, walk in, and ask for a table for two. This tiny Richmond izakaya serves chicken thigh, pork belly, and fish cake skewers that are perfectly charred and packed with flavor. But also expect shareable plates, like deep-fried mochi, stir-fried ramen, and sashimi to be the night's other conversation points. Keep the sake coming for you and whoever you’re with, and, if the evening doesn’t work out, “I know where to find the best deep-fried mochi in town” is a fantastic prompt for when you get back on the apps.
