Went for yakitori. Great ambience, awesome food, good service. Small shop, not good for large groups. Do make a reservation and try to go early before it gets super busy.

Food is good. Service and attitude is crap. Good little neighbourhood jam if they can stop employing a waitress who doesn't want to be there.

Very good, but some plates are very small! Sashimis are very fresh, the staff very nice, and the place very intimate. Good selection of sake too!

Great food! All dishes we ordered were wonderfully prepared. Be warn though the bar is quite small so you definitely need to book to get a table. The set up of the bar reminds me of the the small eateries in Tokyo!

The awesome thing is, you can order just ONE of each skewer and since there was only 3 of us dining, We got one of each skewer to share and got to try alot. It was ALL good. Everything was fresh and authentic and flavoursome and exciting.

Lovely atmosphere and great service. Quite a couple of the items weren't available (sashimi, tuna belly, fois gras). Portions were quite small so we left hungry.

Lovely little Japanese restaurant just down from Oxford St. The food was absolutely delicious and a decent wine list too. It's small so be prepared to sit nice and close to other patrons along the shared tables. Staff are friendly and attentive.

Authentic yakitori bar with some modern twist but not too much. Cosy atmosphere and very friendly staff. Meatballs with 62c egg are amazing. Love to go back again.

Skwers are awesome, one of the best jap skwers in sydney, the only thing is the sake options not really much, it will be much better if there's more options for customer to pick.

Lovely little spot in Darlinghurst, White Rum Yuzu cocktails were great, try and avoid the seating against the wall, the centre shared table probably a better option. Nice staff friendly and attentive.

Love this place!! Feel I am back in my local in Japan where I lived for 18 years. have been for ramen night (the BEST ramen I had in a very long time) and for the yakitori. All great. a good range of sakes - delightful staff and great atmosphere. I've been twice this month and will be returning again soon. Also love the fact that I can make a reservation for 2 there - am tired of places where I have to wait in line.

Good food and service was ok. The prawns entree was delicious and really enjoyed the plum cocktail. Was about $50 a head with drinks for 4 people. As it's quite a small restaurant, we found it got a bit loud.

Ordered lots of food and they were all amazing! Our favourites were the tuna belly and pigs ear tataki, tsukune meatballs with 62 degree egg, chicken crackling and pork belly yakitori. It was all so tasty and good quality ingredients. Great atmosphere and friendly staff, would definitely recommend!

We had a great experience at the Chaco Bar. Food was authentic and the staff was friendly. The only downfall of this place is that it is too small. You must make a reservation to guarantee a table.

Great selection of yakitori in Sydney. Good selection of beers and sake. Center communal table and host large parties, but must book ahead. Restaurant is small and always packed, so bookings are a must.
