Erotori 51 Newark Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030

"I always hoped for an excellent yakatori spot near Hoboken - never would have guessed it would be a dedicated chef working over red hot coals in front of the Starbucks on Newark. Bless this man. I ordered 2 mushroom skewers & one chicken. Was VERY VERY good. Like, I haven't had skewers this good since hitting up that Michelin star Yakatori spot in the city (I do hope they still exist, its been a while). Admittedly, I've passed by him MANY times before making a purchase. I was always either on my way to a lunch with someone in the city or on my way back from one. This time, funnily enough, I was coming back from having handrolls at a nice place. You'd figure I'd be Japan'd out - nope - there was capacity and I had put it off long enough. Was very much worth it. Don't make the same mistake I did, just go for it. It does take time for him to do his magic - he suggested in the future that I could get the order going in advance by sending a message on Instagram. Will take him up on that next time - especially when it's freezing out."

"OMG!!! From the first bite…everything was so delicious and full of FLAVOR!!! I see why Chef Justin is ALWAYS sold out!!!! It took me 3x just to even snag a skewer set…I’m soooooo glad I was finally able to though…it did NOT disappoint!"

"Been craving yakitori for the longest time but many places charge way too much for what it is - simple sticks of japanese style bbq sticks. Enter Erotori! It's a simple cart with a simple menu but the quality is outstanding. Really delicious yakitori sticks at reasonable prices. I got the tasting set which had 3 meat sticks and a veggie with rice and added a mushroom. Everything was delicious and my only complaint is that I wish I ordered more! Will definitely be back! Normal hours are 1-7 (or until sold out) but follow him on Instagram because sometimes his hours change. When I went he put a notice on his IG that he would be opening at 2pm and by the time he was set up with coals hot it was about 230pm so do plan accordingly. Expect a line and a wait if you don't arrive first thing but I do believe his yakitori sticks are worth the wait."

"Absolutely awesome food stand by Hoboken Station. I got the chicken and it was only $11 for three skewers with super tasty sauces. I will be back"

"Hidden gem. It's not every day you find quality yakitori right in your own neighborhood. Every cut was juicy, tender, and flavorful. Going back for the pork belly and knee gristle."
