Anybody ever been here:http://www.yelp.com/biz/kokekokko-los-angeles

It's a yaktori place. I found out yesterday that "kokekokko" is the Japanese version of "cock-a-doodle-do".

Been there on a handful of occasions. The food is really good, but it can get really crowded. Reservations are probably best. The yakitori is well prepared but the service can be spotty at times, and there are times when they seem to favor Japanese clientele to the detriment of other patrons. It's definitely worth trying, but I prefer Shinsengumi.

^ Thanks for the critique. I may have to give it a shot.

i've been there twice, and probably not too many times more. the Yakitori is good, better than the monterey park shinsengumi, i prefer the gardena one slightly over kokekokko. the service was horrible, but it's to be expected when you get the white plate. we get seated at the end of the bar the first time, was mostly ignored, even though it's right next to the entrance to the kitchen area. second time, we sat at a table, service was slightly better, but we had a semi-regular with us.

Good review.

Yeah I guess you have to go with a "regular" as you illustrated. I, too, prefer the Shinsengumi in Gardena...as I share your sentiment...the yakitori there is something I prefer over Kokekokko and Shinsengumi, Mo' Park.

The white plate/black plate thing at Kokekokko is whatevers...I don't think it's cool, but the food is good.

Five minutes earlier, those shrimp were hopping around in the chef's bowl and splashing us in the process. :hehe:
