"Kono is a sleek, serious yakitori restaurant with a crown-to-tail approach to serving chicken. Once the skewers start rolling in this omakase meal, you’ll get everything from heart and liver to inner thigh and chicken oyster, each with a distinct flavor. A resin model of their chochin skewer—a dainty stack of fallopian tube, liver, and an unfertilized egg—will appear mid-meal with several other interesting add-ons. Order at least a few. Almost everything in the space is black (even the toilet paper), keeping the spotlight squarely on the golden chicken skewers. " - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
