Yakitori Hino

A cozy yakitori specialist in Kearny Mesa’s Convoy district, Yakitori Hino focuses on charcoal-grilled skewers and classic izakaya sides. The kitchen keeps flavors clean and focused - precise chicken cuts, a few seafood and vegetable options—and a curated list of sake and shochu with tastings to help you choose. We put it on our picks list for technique and balance: crisp skin, juicy centers, and gentle smoke. Chicken thigh and tsukune are staples; local guides also single out the beef tongue with sesame oil. It’s an easy place to build a meal from skewers and pairings that let the grill work shine.
