Skewered chicken gizzards may not sound like a popular snack, but witnessing the sheer number of these salty sticks emerging from the kitchen is enough to prove otherwise. Sure, the menu includes ramen, a few rice bowls and a handful of fairly predictable appetizers, but diners pack this restaurant's narrow dining space bedecked in '60s rock memoribilia for the yakitori: a grilled Japanese street snack traditionally made primarily from chicken (every imaginable part, mind you) but here also available in skirt steak, bacon-wrapped scallops, shitake mushrooms and more than a dozen other items.…

The Details on Halu

The Extras:

The music here is as much a part of the experience as the food: don't fight the volume of the Beatles' tracks, sing along.

Look Good:

Don't clutter your plate with discarded sticks, put them in the tall, vase-looking cups available on every table.

Know Before You Go:

The kitchen is small and the owner/chef can only move so fast, so be prepared to wait. Dishes come out as they're finished, not all together, so it's best to share.
