Lovely and authentic spot, every fish was great. The only regret I have is that I did not come even more hungry so I could have more. The menu has something for everyone: from sushi to rice dishes to lunch mains to grill to soup. Would recommend trying a sake flight - all three samples in the tasting were delicious and interesting.
One of the best Japanese restaurant, we ordered sake, sashimi, skewers, udon for my daughters and hand rolls. Lunch time is also busy there, but not noisy. Overall food is delicious and fresh, I love their skewers.
The closest I have come to feeling like I am back in Japan. A really nice place, although less of a secret than it once was. I love to sit at the bar and watch the master prepare the grilled dishes. Almost as much as I love eating those grilled delicacies!!
This is a place where you can experience the authentic taste of Japan in London. It is great to enjoy the chirashi rice bowl lunch course from Tuesday to Friday, and the tonkatsu is made with Iberico pork, so the meat juice and texture are amazing.
Best sushi in London! Food was exquisite, so fresh and delicious - particularly the grilled eel and cucumber and gyozas. Service was amazing too!
Dining at Jin Kichi felt like being in a yakitori bar in Tokyo. The food was amazing, bursting with authentic flavors, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Fantastic service and an unforgettable experience—I can’t wait to return!
Dining here is like authentic Izakaya experience - lots of sake selections and amazing yakitori also loved the Una Tama sushi, can taste the fresh ingredients and balanced flavours. The place was a bit packed but not super loud.
This is a great izakaya restaurant. Very attentive staff, quick service, and a vibrant atmosphere. I got miso soup, the sashimi set, grilled skewers, and the pancakes as dessert. The sashimi set was very good and the grilled skewers were tasty and flavourful
