barbecue happy hour good for groups Japanese food lively casual trendy great value short ribs good for dates s'mores pork kalbi fried rice eggs good for special occasions free edamame group dinners garlic butter lunch
Maxim Fedotov

My new favourite spot for having a group dinner . Cooking together is super fun and with Happy Hour it gets pretty good value for money . Food is great of course and their Egg Fried Rice is to die for!

Shannon Low

Yummy BBQ . All the kalbis , especially with miso or garlic butter , and the harami skirt steak . Pork cheek wasn't bad too. Go on Monday when it's ala carte happy hour all day. Recommend reserving .

Martin Carazo

Lunch value set for £8+gratuity ... Really great value . I thought it was a choice of the 3 types of grilled meat ... But it was the 3 of them, beef , pork and chicken . I will come back.

Amazing food. All round great restaurant util they turned on the fluorescent lights and stopped the music to drive people who were eating out. Would probably try again but avoid for special occasions

Jessi @2feet1world

Fun bbq experience for a group. Huge menu and the Kintan set menu was a good deal - we were very full after!

BC O

I love the food...the service is so bad. I know they are busy but It takes 20 minutes to get just even a drink. Some times have been better but it can be EXTREMELY slow going when you’re first seated.

Happy hour here is the besttttt - those short rib kalbi’s , pork kalbi , and lamb chops ????????????????????????

K

Lunch deal is decent but probably works best for groups up to about 4. We were in a huge group for a leaving lunch and it was hard to cook and keep track of everything!

Gary Simmons

Skip the set menu and go a la carte. Kalbi Short Rib and Harami Skirt Steak are a must as is the Sparkling Sake . Full review on Scoff: http://scofflondon.com/restaurants/kintan-review/

Get one of the set menus. Loads of amazing food and gives you a chance to try a bit of everything

Ramon

BBQ is amazing, portions are very generous, good quality and great taste

Suzie Zhante

Japanese bbq menu for 2, 4 or 6 people. Do not order side dish, the meal is more than enough. 5 out of 5.

Victoria

Such a good place to have BBQ with reasonable prices ????????

Kate Socatiyanurak

Very tasty BBQ ! And the s’mores too!

Maryam IA

Long wait and no flexibility in terms of exchanging items from the set menu . I loved the Japanese BBQ experience and the quality of meats.

Kornelija Maceviciute

One of the best kept secrets for yakiniku in central London.

My go-to bbq joint but when you look up, you’ll see dust and spider webs. Right above the food. Disappointing

Audrey Tan

Pretty authentic Japanese BBQ experience in London

Jing Tang

Horrible service- we ordered meat lover menu. They were very slow to take the order. In the end, we were told we have no time for dessert although we have to pay for it as it is part of the set menu .

Matt Barber

Left before getting served. Make sure you book and don't go for the bar area.

Gurmukh Panesar

Free edamame or ice cream with a foursquare checkin :)

Angela Liu

Not the best meat but come enjoy the bbq experience with the happy hour deal

Martin S

Great happy hour at the bar

Nikki Pridham

the service we experienced wasn’t that great. We waited up to 20 minutes for our dessert & was pushed out the door as the Resturant was closing. We felt very unwelcome - not sure if I will return.

Magda Tabac

Place looks nice and staff was polite, but my chicken garlic noodles portion barely had any chicken ... if there were 20-30g of chicken in that portion I’m lucky :(. Disappointing!

Jun S

awesome japanese yakiniku

Jin Yi

Beef tongue must try!

Leven Wenqi Li

It's very medium ok place. However the mushroom is beautiful. The other meats were ok. The meal deal is good value .

Very poor hygiene for the best Japanese BBQ in London. Flies everywhere

Salim Virani

They don't do takeaway , even if some of the staff tell you so.

Pete Marcus

Terrible service but nice Japanese self-barbecue food in this surprisingly cavernous place.

A cozy and truly authentic place. Tapas styled menu - so expect little portions perfect for sharing. No sushi or teriyaki, but you'll find a lot of other traditional Japanese flavours and dishes. - S. R.
