Jin Kichi (73 Heath Street, London, NW3 6UG) We have been regularly eating at this fantastic Japanese Yakitori eaterie for almost 10 years now and have never had a bad meal. In fact, all our meals have been superb with some dishes being excellent, in particular for us; the black cod, all tempura, sashimi, California & Hampstead rolls, pork belly and tonkatsu. My wife has lived in Japan and likened this to a traditional ‘neighbourhood’ restaurant, with the food being just as good! The staff are very friendly anf efficeint, which they need to be because the didnig area is cramped, both upstairs and down. Try to get a seat at the robata grill to watch the chefs work their magic if you can. You will almost certainly need to book as it's busy every night of the week.
