Cafe Half Bistro

Found this new spot on Yelp and came here for dinner 2 nights ago. Absolutely loved ALL of the yakitoris that we tried. I had chicken skin, steak with sauce, chicken thigh, pork belly, pork belly rolled around mushrooms, pork neck, shitake and a spam and cheese fried skewer. All were cooked perfectly and and had great flavor. We also tried the curry omurice which was also good, but I think you def come here for the skewers. We also tried the white sesame pudding which was super special and delicious - the flavor of the sesame was very strong and I had never had anything like it before. Excited to come back again to try other things.

Food was fantastic. You can taste the wood fire on the food. Service was a tad slow but so nice to not be rushed.

Delicious food, both the skewers and the rice dishes. Five stars for the edamame popper and the dessert. Get in early as it fills up fast and is a small space.

Great food and nice people

Exciting addition to the South City food scene! Confusingly located in the same space as Country Cottage Cafe, but only open for dinner.

The most negative aspect is the physical location. The space is narrow... cozy is the kindest word here. Hard to navigate the space inside if you have a stroller. Walkway from the back storage to the front grills passes among the patrons, making the space feel even more cramped.

The food is excellent. Ordered the combo and had a taste of everything. The appetizers were pretty simple, such as the edamame with garlic, but tasty and good at working up an appetite. The skewers were great. The meat ones were marinated with great flavors, tender and juicy. The vegetable skewers can use more flavor. The omurice was quite pretty; the omelette had a spiral imparted to it. But the curry was quite forgettable and the rice a bit too mushy. Also quite liked their sesame pudding dessert. Very sesame, and not too sweet.

Glad to see another type of Asian food, hope they do well!
