Yakitori Lunch Special....
15 Apr 2007While surfing on HGW, I was stunned to discover that no one has done a review for Nanbantei yet. It's a great place for Yakitori (none of that machine grilled stuff), there is a chef cooking the food in front of you while you wait. Plus the ventilation is fantastic so you don't reek after your meal.
Our favourite is is the yakitori lunch special that costs all of $12.50++. I've been coming here for more than 10 years and the price has not changed!

cosy yakitori place
25 Feb 2013Visited on a Friday evening and reservation is recommended. Small and cosy place. Sat at the counter, and has a clear view of the chefs and the grill.
Tried nanbanyaki, gyu yaki, lamb chop, salmon belly, butabara (pork belly), chicken heart and aji shioyaki. The most expensive yakitori would be the lamb chop, and single highest priced item that we ordered was the aji shioyaki (salt grilled mackerel). The nanbanyaki was quite tough and chewy while the gyu yaki was just slightly better.

Good Yakitori
18 Dec 2012Nanbantei is a small cozy restaurant that has a good reputation for good yakitori, grilled skewered food, which explains the perpetual queue, and the need for luck to get seats without prior reservations.
Once in, diners are given a vegetable appetizer to munch on. The raw veggies go pretty well with the miso, but if you're not a veggie person, you can inform the waiters/waitresses that you do not want the appetizer. The appetizer is charged at $2 per serving.
The assorted yakitori were grilled wonderfully - all the sticks we ate had slightly charred exteriors yet the interiors were still juicy and there's a mild charcoal taste to heighten the taste of the meats.
It's a feast for the eyes too as Nanbantei's open concept allows diners to watch the chef turn the skewers, sprinkle sea salt and the entire food preparation process on the charcoal grill.
Food at Nanbantei is a bit pricey but the quality is well worth it.
