Yakitori Totto

20 October 2010 6 Comments

I’m FINALLY reviewing this place. This place is amazing – so far my favorite yakitori spot in the City :] AND it’s a lot closer to my apt than St. Marks. Came here back in July…. it’s kinda tough to get a spot, especially last minute, but somehow it was managed… The experience is better shown with less words and more pictures. Enjoy.

Surprisingly tender for bone. YUM. I loved it, especially sprinkled with a little bit of the spice.

Delicious tender meat around the crunch of the bone <3

Pork Offal [aka Intestines]
It was SOOOOO fatty and delicious and juicy – Probably the best intestines I’ve ever had [and hhelllooo, Taiwan, I’ve had a lot]

I think I ate pretty much the whole bowl.. I love mushrooms and sticky mountain yam… so, go figure.
