Gotetsu Kushiyaki And Sake House

Quick Summary Pretty cool to have a Yakitori place in Ventura at a central location. Street parking only. Food was decent (although a bit overcooked . Make sure you book a reservation because they are a bit shorthanded (it appeared to be 3 total staff members running the whole restaurant! Food- 4 stars Ordered the chicken skin, shiitake mushroom, Japanese eggplant, rib eye, chicken thigh with leak, squid and an assortment of specials. I liked the rib eye, chicken skin, and chicken thigh the most. The food was mostly overcooked but salted perfectly (the staff did seem overwhelmed . They had Asahi, Sapporo and Suntory draft available, so it was great to have them along with our yakitori meal Service- 5 stars The staff were attentative as they can be, as they appeared understaffed. Really appreciate all the hard work they put in Bottom Line Book a reservation even during weekdays. It's awesome to have a yakitori spot in Ventura and don't have to drive too far if you have a craving. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great food and friendly service. The only seating area available is in the back patio (next to the alley way), which can only seat about 5-6 tables. It was very busy right when they opened but we ended up being the only table after 7:30 pm. Making a reservation is probably a good idea. I'd definitely come back as everything we ordered was tasty!

Amazing and authentic Japanese bar food! Everything I’ve tried from here has been delicious. The owner and staff are very friendly and will answer questions about the menu. I’ve been here with good sized groups and they’re accommodating. The only downside is the order system is kind of confusing (maybe a checklist sheet would work better? . Definitely go to this place!
