Pinky is located on Farringdon Road in London, offering a dining experience shaped by bold, Asian-inspired flavours. The restaurant is the creation of Scott Hallsworth, known for his inventive approach to Japanese cuisine, and it brings a playful twist to traditional dishes with a focus on big, punchy tastes.
The menu at Pinky is a mix of small plates designed for sharing, featuring creative combinations and unexpected ingredients. Dishes include options such as miso-grilled black cod tacos, chicken-fried chicken with peanut soy, and salmon sashimi pizza with truffle ponzu. The cooking style leans heavily on Japanese techniques, with influences from other Asian cuisines and a playful, fusion-driven edge. The menu encourages diners to explore a variety of flavours and textures across multiple dishes rather than sticking to a conventional starter-main-dessert format.
The restaurant occupies a compact space with a modern, urban feel. Seating is arranged to create an intimate but casual dining environment, making it well-suited for small groups or pairs. The open kitchen adds an interactive element, giving diners a glimpse into the preparation of their meals. The setting is designed for those who enjoy a lively, food-focused experience rather than a formal, drawn-out meal.
Booking is recommended to secure a table, and the restaurant also offers the option to order food for collection. This flexibility makes it a practical choice for both dine-in and takeaway meals.
