Master Critic Review

Sakura House 7.7
Mar Vista
A small, nighttime-only yakitori and small-plates spot with a warm, low-key feel. Skewers come out well-seasoned and smoky, and the tight menu keeps quality steady.
Must-Try Dishes: Bacon-wrapped asparagus yakitori, Chicken meatball stuffed mushrooms, Agedashi tofu
Scores:
Value: 7.6 Service: 7.5 Consistency: 7.8 Food Quality: 8 Atmosphere: 7.1 Cultural Relevance: 7.2
What makes it special: Yakitori-centric menu that feels like a local after-dark secret.
Who should go: Skewer lovers and small groups.
When to visit: Right at opening for the smoothest service.
What to order: Asparagus skewer, tsukune, agedashi tofu.
Insider tip: Order in waves—skewers are best eaten hot off the grill.
