Yakitori House closing today for 3 month refurbishment

[PhilharMagician]

Sunshine Seasons in The Land now has the exact same sushi. :wave:

Now I can have sushi while waiting for my Soarin' FP's! Yeah, that's good, that's really good!

Thanks for the info Raven

The entire garden and hillside is completely walled off, not just the house. Something tells me they are going to be doing some concrete work in this area due to this large area being walled off.

Maybe they should utilize the show building in the back and make some of it the new Yakitori and then rebrand the old Yakitori as Yakitori Classic. Eating outdoors is cool and all but not during the day.

Awesome. I want to see the inside of it sometime, but of course it's off limits.

The food and wine kiosk is out along with the customary 2 registers outside. They only have sushi, the shogun and teriyaki, and the kids meal teriyaki. No curry and udon!

Japan just keeps getting better. If they ever take that next step and put something in the castle it will be the best pavilion by far.

I agree. It also has the best lights during Illuminations!!

The menu shows dining plan logos next to each of the food items. I thought that they only marked items that were snack credits.... Does that mean its all snack credits?

I think that bathroom is an 80's remnant, hope it gets preserved somehow!

No sukiyaki beef for me in october! very sad, maybe the f/w booth will have some.. crossing fingers..

No Sukiyaki Beef AT ALL! They got rid of it a few months back. It was my favorite dish in all of World Showcase, so I contacted Guest Services to complain. They said they received complaints from other guests that it was too 'fatty' and replaced it with a healthier beef teriyaki, which I did not care for. They were kind enough to send me the Sukiyaki recipe though. I have reprinted below for any who may want it.




Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World Resort.

We want to thank you for your patience while we obtained the recipe for
the Beef Sukiyaki that you enjoyed at the Yakitori House
during your visit.

1 cup soy sauce
½ cup mirin (sweet cooking sake)
½ cup sugar

Method of Preparation for Beef Sukiyaki:

Actually, it was originally built as a backstage CM bathroom. At some point it was renovated slightly to become an on-stage Guest bathroom.

It got my vote as one of the scariest bathrooms I have been in, at least on Disney property.

Are they expanding the seating area? There's construction going on in the backside of the building.
