"The scent of yakitori wafts out of this tiny izakaya off Clement, making the entire three-block radius smell like charred chicken. Let it draw you in—Moku Yakitori-Ya nails every grilled skewer on the lengthy menu, plus the deep-fried mochi and umami-packed takoyaki. This place is the size of a shoebox, yet is built for sake and beer-drenched dinners, casual date nights, and meals at the bar in front of the TV playing anime.
