An izakaya is Japan’s version of a neighborhood pub — a place where food, drinks, and conversation come together in a relaxed, social setting. Instead of large entrées, izakayas focus on small plates meant for sharing, paired with drinks like sake, beer, and craft cocktails.
At Yakitori Boy, we bring that tradition to life in the heart of Philadelphia — blending authentic Japanese flavors with a high-energy nightlife atmosphere.
Why Yakitori Is the Star
“Yakitori” translates to grilled chicken skewers, traditionally cooked over charcoal to enhance flavor and texture. At Yakitori Boy, our skewers are grilled to order and designed to be enjoyed communally — just like in Japan.
Expect:
- Perfectly grilled skewers
- Japanese-inspired small plates
- Bold flavors that pair effortlessly with drinks
More Than a Meal — It’s an Experience
Yakitori Boy isn’t just about dining. It’s about how you enjoy the night.
Guests can:
- Dine in our vibrant izakaya-style space
- Sip handcrafted cocktails and sake
- Reserve private karaoke rooms for birthdays, celebrations, or group nights out
Whether you’re stopping by for dinner or staying late into the night, the experience evolves as the evening goes on.
