Chef Reif Othman's original, most intimate venue serves an edgy, affordable take on Japanese skewers plus a cult Wagyu katsu sando. Grab a stool at the counter, order a spread of kushiyaki and the sando, and sit on the terrace in cooler months. It's walk-in only and compact, so timing your visit off-peak helps avoid a wait.
