Yakitori 38

Best Known For

Panko fried scallop and ponzu Kewpie.

Inspired by the rustic, cosy bars of Osaka’s nightlife, Yakitori 38 on the Row in the heart of the city brings authentic Japanese flavours to Canberra. Following the izakaya restaurant style, this dining destination is ideal for group dining or a late-night snack, paired with a beverage from the bar; enjoyed in surrounds of recycled timber, stacked stone and moody lighting. Indulge with a Beach Episode cocktail - dark rum, cognac, curacao, sesame coconut milk, cinnamon and lime – alongside share plates of tempura prawn, Kewpie, sriracha and teriyaki. Yakitori skewers such as chicken thigh, shallots and shio always entice, while those more adventurous opt for chicken gizzards, hearts or tails. Perhaps unagi don hits the mark – freshwater eel, kabayaki sauce, sushi rice and deep-fried egg.
