West District, Taichung City｜Gekiuma Yakitori

This is literally the best bbq skewer shop I've had in Taichung. The wait and crowded dining area don't even matter because the food is so great. Just because it's called Yakitori though there are many other meats besides chicken.

Smaller franchise of the yakitori restaurant (4 locations in Taichung). Great job with the chicken skewers and good draft Asahi beer.

This has become one of my favorite little spots to start a Friday night. The skewers you get here are great, I recommend the pork wrapped pineapple, if you can find it! Their stock seemingly changes around, I assume due to availability. The skewers are great, but the real star of the show on a Friday night are the fruit cocktail towers. Although they definitely have beer towers as well, the mango, lychee, and lemon cocktail towers are as tasty as they are fun, and can result in an interesting start to the weekend! For the less brave, you can get a 500ML or 1000ML glass of Asahi instead, which is also a great pair with the skewers.
