I had a huge Yakitori craving last week, and my friends suggested me to check out Kado at Intercontinental Hotel MidPlaza. Kado is apparently quite very famous for Yakitori in Jakarta and very popular with the Japanese travellers and expats. Hubby G and I had already tried couple of Yakitori places in Jakarta however we only found them pretty average; we certainly hoped Kado would be 'the Yakitori place' to go to.
Located at the basement of Intercontinental Hotel MidPlaza, Kado wasn't what I had expected of a restaurant in a hotel. It looks like a family-run Japanese eatery(though belonging a chain of restaurants), unassuming and easily missed- definitely not your usual high end intimidating hotel restaurants. This place is good for anyone who just want to come casually dressed and enjoy an easy evening with family and friends.
The manager/chef is a very friendly Japanese lady and almost all the diners were Japanese. Good start. My philosophy- If the locals of that specific cuisine patron the restaurant, it mean the food must be quite authentic.

The menu is a Yakitori lover's heaven; it has an extensive range of chicken, beef, pork and vegetables. It also offers other cooked food like miso soup, chawanmushi, curry, etc.
Hubby G and I both agreed that Kado is indeed one of the better Yakitori places in Jakarta; in fact the best out of all we tried in Jakarta so far. The prices are reasonable too; chicken yakitori starts at about 12,000idr per stick (~1.2usd) and the bill was about 350,000idr (~35usd) for the both of us. The only downside of the restaurant is that they do not section the smoking/non-smoking areas; so depending on your luck, you might sit next to a smoking table (not too great if you are pregnant like me or have children).
We actually went there twice within the same week! Hehe..yes my craving is indeed satisfied now :)
P.s: Make sure you make a reservation on Saturdays! We couldn't get a seat (it was fullhouse!) when we went on a Saturday and had to return the next day.
