Kokekokko (Los Angeles) Went to Kokekokko last night for yakitori. IMHO, this is the best yakitori place in LA/OC. We ordered omakase and pretty much ate everything on the menu except for some side orders. Sorry for some of the poor photos. It was a combination of iPhone and Androids mixed with a lot of alcohol. Breast - Two dabs of wasabi and two dabs of ginger sauce. They use bluefoot chicken here so this stick is served rare. http://images114.fotki.com/v288/phot...3Breast-vi.jpg Liver and Gizzard - The liver was glazed with tare (sweet sauce) and gizzard is seasoned with salt only. http://images110.fotki.com/v302/phot...Gizzard-vi.jpg Meatball - I love this stick. It has a nice crust on the outside, but moist and tender on the inside. http://images12.fotki.com/v68/photos...eatball-vi.jpg Heart - This is the "regular" heart. This is a little chewy and liberally brushed with tare. http://images17.fotki.com/v62/photos...06Heart-vi.jpg Thigh and Skin - Both were garnished with scallion. I normally prefer dark meat so the thigh was excellent. The skin was crispy and tasty. http://images12.fotki.com/v253/photo...ighSkin-vi.jpg Eggplant - Wrapped in a thin layer of leg meat. http://images56.fotki.com/v774/photo...ggplant-vi.jpg Okra - Similar prep as the eggplant. This is one of my favorite veggies. http://images17.fotki.com/v28/photos...009Okra-vi.jpg Neck - This was super fatty with small pieces of crunchy cartilage. http://images53.fotki.com/v419/photo...010Neck-vi.jpg Wing - Commonly know as tebasaki, this is a must have at any yakitori place. http://images110.fotki.com/v302/phot...011Wing-vi.jpg |
Softbone - This is made from the meat around the knee joint. Like the neck, this has bits of cartilage in the meat. http://images114.fotki.com/v271/phot...oftbone-vi.jpg Special Special Heart - They have 3 varieties of heart here. The special special heart is the fattiest and tastiest, but it only available in limited quantities. We were lucky enough to go with a regular customer. http://images57.fotki.com/v66/photos...alHeart-vi.jpg Duck - Duck isn't true yakitori, but it was still delicious. http://images9.fotki.com/v1604/photo...014Duck-vi.jpg Soboro - Ground chicken over rice served with a light broth and pickles. I always end my meal this way, although I noticed that they now have ramen on the menu. :) http://images114.fotki.com/v288/phot...5Soboro-vi.jpg |
Looks awesome, the one in Little Tokyo right? |
DELISH...id even have that for breakfast!!! |
The Yelp reviews are funny, clearly a cultural clash with some of them. It looks like if you are not down with Omakase, you should probably pass. As in, if you order California roll at a Sushi place, you'll probably not have a good time. |
Been there a few times. the food is excellent. Glad you got to try the special special hearts this time Mark. |

Nice, don't know why I thought you had only been there once or twice. We should do a TS dinner there. |
