FUUD: Yakitori Yoshi off Keeaumoku

I’m a big fan of food on a stick.

Hot dogs, teriyaki beef, chocolate-covered cheesecake — these things are meant to be skewered.

So whenever a new yakitori-ya (Japanese restaurant that serves skewered foods, particularly chicken), I make a mental note to plan a visit STAT.

That’s how I ended up at Yakitori Yoshi last night, a new yakitori-ya — well, it’s more like an izakaya than specifically a yakitori-ya — near Walmart on Keeaumoku Street.

Here’s a sampling of what we ate:

Yoshi is located in the space vacated by Hale Macrobiotic behind Walmart. (Before that, it was the site of the popular — and missed — Okonomiyaki Kai.) There are some parking stalls out front; otherwise you’ll have to find street parking.
