Skewered
Grill Together
Experience the art of Japanese yakitori—premium skewers grilled with precision and care in a warm, communal atmosphere.
What is Yakitori?
焼き鳥 (yaki-tori) means “grilled bird” in Japanese—though our menu goes far beyond just chicken. From tender thigh meat to crispy skin, vegetables to premium beef, every skewer is carefully seasoned and grilled to perfection using traditional Japanese techniques.
At Skewered, we believe the best meals are shared. Pull up a seat at the counter, watch our grill masters at work, and discover why yakitori has been bringing people together in Japan for centuries.
