Destination-level yakitori omakase with intimate counter theater, exceptional chicken-centric cooking, and premium pricing; stunning for adventurous eaters, but service pacing and ventilation can falter.
Kono exemplifies grade A standards through exceptional binchotan grilling and whole-bird mastery paired with precise, knowledgeable service that elevates the omakase experience. The intimate counter theater with speakeasy-like approach creates memorable occasion dining, though tight seating and intense heat near the grill and occasional pacing inconsistencies prevent higher distinction. This is destination-worthy yakitori that ranks among the region's finest omakase experiences.
One caveat: Ventilation and proximity to grill can cause smoke and heat discomfort near some seats
