Located at 5185 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92117, Yakitori Taisho operates as a japanese serving San Diego in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself. Card and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; cash-only is more common at small family-run counters.

San Diego is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. Getting around San Diego is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across California's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Best yakitori place in SD. Legit spot. Reservations highly recommended. Best staff as well. The fried garlic is heavenly. Cannot go wrong with pretty much anything here which is very rare for me to say. I recommend trying everything. The fact this is my toddler's favorite place helps. We try to come here couple of times each month - this is probably the best compliment I can give.

We come everytime we visit San Diego. Always call for a reservation. All the food is sooooo worth it. Ignore the reviews that say you need to drink alcohol. I dont drink and never had a problem. Been coming here for 2 years when work brings me to cali. Im from Arizona!

All skewers are amazing! I also like the black cod the most. You will not regret getting the black cod. The rice tea soup is awesome to finish the meal. I am happy and full now. Make sure to call in advance to reserve a table though.

This is a Japanese skewer restaurant recommended by a friend, and it’s essential to make a reservation in advance when in San Diego. The place has limited seating but is always popular, so walking in might not get you a seat or you may end up sitting at a temporary spot outside. The menu doesn’t offer too many options, but each item tastes great. I’d recommend that if there are two people, order one skewer of each kind so you can try them all! The downside is that there’s only one skewer chef, so the service is a bit slow. It’s more suitable for enjoying food while chatting with friendsβ€”not the best choice if you’re too hungry.

One of my favourite dinners we've ever had in San Diego. We were seated at the bar, but with the dividers they placed it felt very intimate still, and we loved watching the chefs cook. The meal is very intentional, with each item paced perfectly. Everything is delicious and the sake menu is also great, and very detailed about flavor profiles. My only complaint is the server argued with me about the sake I wanted to order, which was a little odd (it was a great choice by the way). Make a reservation just in case because the restaurant is very small and fills fast, but definitely well worth the stop.
