Bustling Japanese izakaya specializing in charcoal-grilled yakitori with lively service, strong regular following, and moderate-to-high pricing that matches quality; reservations recommended.
Zakkushi on Denman delivers excellent charcoal-grilled yakitori with attentive, welcoming service that justifies its strong local reputation among yakitori enthusiasts. However, inconsistent execution on premium items like wagyu and gizzard prevents a higher grade, and tight seating with peak-hour time limits temper the overall experience. A solid neighborhood destination for authentic yakitori, though premium pricing and occasional quality variability keep it from competing with the area's finest dining establishments.
One caveat: Pricing can add up quickly with small skewers and premium cuts
