Ken Yakitori Bar Anzac

All foods are perfect. The chicken skin is good, and i like unlimited cabbage. Sashimi is delicious but expensive. Highball is bland.Draft beer is fine. The food here is perfect. sometimes its added twice (Check the receipt carefully when paying)

Incredibly rude experience at Ken’s Yakatori on Anzac tonight when trying to give our Japanese home stay student a taste of home. We were kicked out as we couldn’t provide a certificate on the spot confirming our guardianship of her. It really ruined our night that was meant to be a special treat for her. In short they were rude and just did it care.

I really enjoyed that such a wonderful meals.All Japanese staffs in a Japanese style yakitory bar.Salmon sashimi with rice, Agedashi tofu and mixed yakitory were awesome!!!!

It would give a feeling that you are at some local yakitori place in Japan. Visited twice a week. The foods were so delicious and the service was good (especially, thanks to Myu). The tables are very small though. My favorites were ramen, yakitori (chicken thighs with spring onion, and beef sirloin), and Orion beer.

Best Yakitori Bar in Auckland.The food is always cooked to perfection - as in how much the food is cooked, the perfect flavouring of salt/sauce. Highly recommend the Beef Tongue and Pork Belly!Atmosphere is cozy, with high beat music going in time with the man behind the grill. It is mesmerising to watch his skills. Suitable touches of having bag hooks under the table is amazing.Staff are always friendly and attentative.Recommend booking in advance as it is always usually full!

The best & authentic Yakitori joint I have ever been to in my life!!! Not only all the foods and drinks were great and authentic but also service provided was the one that made me really enjoy the whole experience while I was dining there. Its decors and atmosphere reminded me of good & traditional Yakitori venues in Japan as well. I found this place by accident. I went to a ramen joint nearby there and had a ramen and dumplings. I also wanted to have fried rice since I was super hungry without having lunch today. But that ramen joint don’t have it tonight (they had run out of it), so I checked if there was any other Japanese restaurant nearby. Ken Yakitori was just a minute away from there, so I went to check it out. They were full but there was a table open which was the smallest one they had. I took it since I was by myself and had no issue with it. Maybe after 30 minutes or so passed, 2 ladies at the counter left. Soon after that, 2 new customers arrived, so I thought they would give that space to these 2 new customers. To my big and pleasant surprise, one of the servers came up to me offering to move to that counter since it was more comfortable and I was at their venue before these new customers. He got me there! It was totally unexpected him to ask me if I wanted to move at all. What a caring person he was! I obviously declined since my table was too small for 2 people. 10 minutes or so passed and he came by asking me if I wanted to order more food or drink. Instead of ordering foods/drinks, I told him how much I appreciated his thoughtfulness and great hospitality. He then just said it was a natural thing for him to ask!!! What a great person he is and hospitality it was!!!With all that being said, I highly recommend this venue to everyone. I’ll definitely go back there next time when I’m in town without a doubt. FYI, all foods there were awesome but their Gyu tan (beef tongue) was my most favorite & AMAZING and the BEST I had ever had❤️❤️❤️

This is the best yakitori place I've been to in Auckland. Ken is legit. The offering is real and reflective of a typical yakitori bar in Japan. The service could be better but I'll get over it. It's mainly if I compared it to Japan.. otherwise fine.

For a long time, one place sold Yakitori, so I had high expectations. But the taste was nothing special and the table was so small that it was really uncomfortable.The amount was too small and the price seems to be overpriced for the amount and service. The most delicious thing I ate was beef croquette.

Three stars for the hard working owner/chef. Skewers don’t deserve ratings. If this restaurant is running in Japan, I believe it wouldn’t survive more than one year with such quality and taste of the food.

Adore this place, my new favorite.Came here 2 nights in a row and ordered aa many different things as possible.You can taste the love in everything and staff are genuine and attentive.Highly recommend the fried cheese ;)
