About this restaurant

Kintan is the first authentic Japanese style yakiniku in London. Yakiniku is a Japanese term that literally translates to “grilled meat.” It has a long-standing history and a strong presence in Japanese cuisine. Our restaurant features a built-in smokeless roaster at each table which enables fun and interactive dining where our guests become the chefs.

    Tasty food that came out quickly, service was wonderful. They changed out our grill often to keep it fresh and we were never left waiting or needing anything. Great experience

    The Kintan exceeded my expectations with its delicious food, especially the lunch meal set which is valued for money.

    It was a bit of a disappointing dinner today. We went down thinking that we could have the buffet only to be told it's only at specific timing. I tried to explain we made quite the way down and saw nothing of the sort about specific timings on the AYCE on Kintan's official website. Waitress argued it off by saying that you have specified the timings on Facebook, but why would Kintan expect all customers to get accurate information from social media instead of ensuring good quality, reliable information on its own website? Overall it was the most disappointing experience I have had with Kintan since being a regular customer in the past 10 years.

    One of my favourite restaurants - you order small dishes and cook them on the grill in the centre (my absolute favourite is the spicy pork). Will definitely return.
