High Yaki, Chinatown

"High Yaki is a Japanese BBQ restaurant in London's Chinatown that serves a wide range of meats, seafood, and vegetables to grill, as well as sukiyaki, donburi, sushi, sashimi, and tacos. It is the sort of place that you might find in Tokyo or Osaka, filled with young people grilling their dinner on a small BBQ set into their table. High Yaki is a good-looking restaurant."

"While the BBQ tables are simply designed, the long counter behind which the sushi chefs work has a floor-to-ceiling display of sake bottles on back-lit gold shelves as a backdrop. The lighting has also been creatively designed, with blue lights that snake across the restaurant. High Yaki aims to provide good quality Japanese food at reasonable prices, and certainly, if you bring a group of friends, you could order a large BBQ known as Beef 12 Kinds,"

High Yaki is a Japanese BBQ restaurant in London's Chinatown offering meats, seafood, vegetables to grill plus sukiyaki, donburi, sushi, sashimi and tacos. The interior has simple BBQ tables, a long sushi counter backed by a floor-to-ceiling sake display on back-lit gold shelves, and blue lighting that snakes across the space. Menus are available on an iPad and laminated copies; a miscommunication about iPad ordering caused an almost 40-minute wait before orders were placed, after which service was brisk. Prices are reasonable for groups — the Beef 12 Kinds BBQ is shareable — and two diners spent roughly £120. The aburi A5 Wagyu tempura shrimp roll pairs flame-seared Wagyu with tempura shrimp.
