Hako Izakaya is a Japanese izakaya on Street 312 at the edge of Bassac Lane, built around charcoal yakitori — thigh, breast, skin, heart, gizzard, knee cartilage and quail egg skewers, with six kinds to a set. Beyond the grill it runs the full izakaya roster of deep-fried snacks and noodles, from karaage and gyoza to tonkatsu, shrimp tempura and yakisoba, served from late morning until eleven at night. The draught beer is excellent and the room is lively, best with a group of friends; at busy times food can take a while.
