We came in around 9 PM without reservation and they took us in which is very nice. The place is gorgeous at night, with private dining areas separated with glass. Awesome experience sitting in the floor as well. Food is also pricy but so worth it! Good quality food, good service.

A nice location very reminiscent of Japanese Izakaya if you’ve ever been to one. However you’ll find the main difference being in the more formal atmosphere, and a price to reflect it.

If you are a fan of Japanese cuisine, Yakitori should definitely be on your must-try list. And if you happen to be in the mood for some mouth-watering Yakitori, then Mokutanya is the perfect spot to satisfy your cravings.

SUCH a cool place! We were staying at the Hyatt Regency after a positioning flight into SFO in order to fly to Europe the next day. We found Mokutanya on Yelp only 3 minutes from our hotel. It was soooo cool! I’ve never been to a restaurant like this. The tables are divided into rooms by glass partitions and each have sunken areas where your legs go. The skewers were so amazing. Our favorites were the spicy pork belly, black cod, spicy waygu, and the bacon enoki mushroom skewers. Everyone that worked there was genuinely nice. Be forewarned… last call (on a Tuesday) is 10pm, not a minute later. The atmosphere turns from dark, moody, romantic with great house or pop music to bright lights and mops on the floor the second it turns 11:00pm. I wish that wasn’t the case, but otherwise, we HIGHLY recommend!!

We visited from out of town and tried this place for the first time. Loved the foods we ordered especially the spicy beef ramen and the wagyu beef skews. The service could use some improvements though — for example, we had to ask for spoons to eat our ramen. Hut we do plan to come back here when we’re in town.

Amazing food and vibes! The prices were low-average for the area. I ordered the ramen and it was delicious. Not too much or too little. The seats are on the floor and there is a section for your legs.

Arrived 10 min earlier than our reservation and had to wait to get seated. That seems to be the common practice as there were plenty of seats.

We were here yesterday without reservation. There was a mistake in skipping the appetizer in the first order, but other skewers were good. We started second round, we understand peak time and takes more time than usual, but we had to wait more that 30minutes. Second round skewers was not good as first one because food was cold

Unassuming fun izakaya in a strip mall next to the airport. Would give 5 stars for ambience and 4 for food.
