Kintan Japanese BBQ
About
Kintan Japanese BBQ delivers a one‑of‑a‑kind yakiniku experience in London’s bustling high‑street locations. Guests sit at their own table‑mounted, smokeless grill and season raw meats, seafood, and vegetables with Japanese sauces or a classic salt‑and‑pepper slip—creating a convivial, interactive dinner that feels like a shared pot of friendship. With a menu available all day, a dedicated happy‑hour from 11:30 AM to 6 PM (and again from 9 PM to closing) and special lunch and brunch options, Kintan accommodates diners from couples seeking an intimate evening to groups looking for a lively group meal. The restaurant’s ‘Magokoro’ philosophy—“the smile of shared meals”—is expressed through warm Japanese hospitality, family‑friendly seating, and a variety of dietary options, including gluten‑free selections. When you book online, you can choose either the Oxford Circus or High Holborn branch, both open daily from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM (except Friday and Saturday closing at 11:00 PM for Oxford Circus).
Good to Know
Best time to visit
The restaurant’s lively vibe and long‑term menu make it a great spot year‑round, but the driest months of spring and autumn offer the lightest crowds and ideal temperatures for a relaxed yakiniku outing.
