Yakitori at Honda Ya - Tustin

Smoke inhalation. Intense heat. Cramped work environment. Food bloggers taking videos. This man endures a lot to produce the best kushiyaki and yakitori in Orange County.

Consider yourself lucky if you are seated in front of him. Then marvel at how this grill master flips, prods, salts, and bastes the perfectly grilled sticks of meat, fish, and vegetables that will soon be your dinner.

Everything he makes is spectacular, but the salmon belly is transcendent--so fatty and soft, it's like its made of butter.
