Hinotez - San Diego

Positiw: 1. the prices are appropriate for the main courts. 2. the fried chicken caraage dish was very tasty chicken and teig were exactly right. that was my favourite item in the menu. 3. overall our group had a good time to eat there. negatiw: 1. was not a fan of the fried Brussels shoots. I usually love this dish when it is peeled and then fried, but this was the whole sweetheart, which is fried in teig and so when they eat it it is still quite hard. 2. I didn't like my yakisoba, which usually my must court in any restaurant. I can't quite point out why. if it's the noodles, or too much cauliflower that's too big and not cooked enough, or because that was a little dry. Maybe all the things that add up. 3. the ramen was just ok for me, the taste was not so strong and the noodles were not my favorites. 4. Some of the courts took a long time to get out (although some quickly came out, so it was incompatible).

This place has been a staple for my group to go eat after Comic Con on the last night. This year we went and it was a welcome treat after not going for so long. I missed it! They have a great amount of yakitori and most us delicious. I felt like the squid had no flavor, but the liver, asparagus wrapped in bacon, and quail eggs were delicious. I also had the mixed tempura which had a light battery and a wonderful dipping sauce. There is quite a bit of parking in the lot. Be patient on the wait to be seated as they are usually very busy.

Staff was very kind, and food was very good. I would recommend

This place is pretty good! I love the interior and ability to order using the ipad. My friends and I had to wait around 20 min to sit on a Thursday night but food came out quick! Staff was also very friendly. My favorite has to be the beef tongue, croquettes, cream soda (actually SO GOOD). I've been once before and had a good time previously too! I do have to note that everything was pretty expensive, it could be rising food costs, but I feel like other yakitori places weren't THIS pricey. We still enjoyed the food, but maybe next time come just for a snack and not a huge meal! Atmosphere is relaxing and I loved the secluded booth. It was packed but my group could easily talk and hear one another. Parking is def rough, we got a spot but had to wait for a bit, i recommend carpooling.

I would give 0 stars if Yelp lets me. We went in for a late night Sunday dinner at around 9:45pm and was placed in the waiting list since we were a family of six and for approximately 20mins and was supposed to be called when our table is ready. We were excited to eat there again. But we waited for 1 hour at the parking lot, many people were going in and out of the restaurant during the 1 hr we waited. Then we decided to drive off since I had the feeling they wont call us. From the time we got placed in the list til they closed at 12am, I did not receive a call, not even an apology to say they couldn't accommodate us. This is not our first time in this restaurant, and all our visits have been great, but because of tonight I'm really disappointed and I dont think we'll visit this establishment anytime soon again.
