Yakitori Shack

I’ve never left a negative review but I came here a few months ago and it was the worst meal I’ve ever had. We were sat downstairs and it took about an hour for drinks to arrive. We ordered the chicken meatball and it arrived raw. We ordered a replacement and it was raw. Our third attempt also arrived raw. It was clearly very short-staffed that evening but to serve raw chicken three times just isn’t ok. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Love love love!! Totally one of my fave spots I’ve eaten at this year. Food was great, good value for money in my opinion. Can’t honestly fault it one bit. Staff were super kind, friendly, courteous.

I've been to Yakitori Shack a few times now as each time I go, there is a new dish I need to try. The peanut butter noodles, the corn ribs and the hispi cabbage are probably my favourite dishes but I also love the skirt steak and the Yakitori skewers. I always order the veg skewers and the chicken skewers when I go. The service is great, always super friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The whole vibe of the place is relaxed and cool. I'm so glad they are in Finnieston now. 🙌

Excellent Japanese bbq food. They use an authentic robata grill and the flavours are so good! Love the steak skewers, the corn ribs, the peanut noodles and the karaage chicken. All delicious ! The place is very cool inside with Tokyo vibes. But the upstairs needs a good clean!

Fabulous food, I ordered and loved the skirt steak and the chicken yakitori. My only issue is the waiting time. I think they either need more staff or a bigger kitchen. The food took too long to arrive.

Wait 30 min for a plate of cabbage. All the skewers were overcooked, burnt and bitter. I told the server who just nodded and walked away. Nothing was taken off the bill. Very disappointing experience.

The Yakitori Shack is back! Originally in the southside, it's now in Finnieston as a fully licensed restaurant. Amazing Japanese flavours. The skirt steak is a must, the cabbage dish was a surprise with that miso butter. See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

Always love coming here. The decor is so unique inside, and the food always comes out absolutely perfect. I keep coming back for more! It’s a great spot in the summer too with the outside seats getting sunshine most of the day.
