Don't expect to find anywhere in Tokyo with a lot of yatais/yatai style food unless there is a festival on- the Hakata yatais are famous because you don't find the same thing elsewhere in Japan, although I believe Osaka has some food alleys which could be considered similar- a look at online travel guides for Osaka should help you track the area down if you're thinking of going to Osaka.

Thanks for the info. Probably no Osaka this time around, my wife didn't enjoy her stay last time we were there....
