  “Absolutely fantastic experience at Kintan Japanese BBQ! The quality of the meat was outstanding—fresh, tender, and beautifully marbled. We loved the variety of beef cuts, the flavorful marinated options, and the fresh prawns. The salmon was also incredibly delicious and cooked perfectly. The side dishes were just as impressive, especially the cheesy corn, gyoza, miso soup, and fresh salad. Everything was well presented and tasted amazing. The staff were friendly, attentive, and quick to help throughout the meal, making the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, perfect for a meal with friends or family. If you’re looking for high-quality Japanese BBQ with excellent service and delicious food, Kintan is definitely worth a visit. We’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended! 🔥🥩🍤”

  “I’ve been to Kintan Holborn twice, and it’s really my FAVOURITE Japanese BBQ spot in London. We had the Ninja Course Happy Hour (£78 for two) this time which was of fantastic value. It comes with a great variety of premium beef, seafood, sides, a main and dessert, and we left completely full. The meat quality is consistently excellent. Everything smelled amazing as soon as it arrived, and once on the grill the meat stayed juicy and full of flavour. We also saw the Summer Limited Wagyu chuck flap, Wagyu rib finger and Iberico pork rib. Would like to try next time. Don’t skip dessert if you still have room! Yuzu sorbet and s’mores are amazing!! It’s in a really convenient location near Chancery Lane Station, making it an easy choice for lunch or dinner.”

  “First time visiting Kintan and was pleasantly surprised. Seated upstairs at the entrance level immediately for our reserved table for a group of 4. Strawberry Mai Tai was my choice of drink for the night and was very tasty! I like that you get to cook your meat/fish yourself and you can do so completely to your satisfaction. Nice added touch. The noodles were plentiful - good sized portion and the spring rolls were delicious, amongst other starters we tried.”

  “Had such a great dinner here! The quality of the meat was excellent, especially the Harami and Kalbi definitely our favourites. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned and cooked beautifully. The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. For around £50 per person, we left absolutely stuffed, which is honestly great value for London.”

  “A great place to try Japanese BBQ and perfect for group eating. The selection here is good with marinated meats, bibimbaps, salads and sides. You must try the Wagyu and Short Rib. The larger the group the better, you can then order a larger selection. Good for friends before a night out.”

  “Kintan has been one of my go-to spots since my student days. I went back with a friend last week, and after all these years, the quality is still consistently excellent. The portions are generous too—perfect for filling up before the World Cup kicks off. We ordered the set menu for two, which came with lamb chops, marinated beef, prawns, and fried chicken. It was brilliant for meat lovers! Grilling everything ourselves also meant we could cook each item exactly how we liked it.”

  “The two of us got the £55 per person all you can eat and that was amazing!!!! All our dishes adding up were over £170 and our bill was £128 so it was totally worth it. Our waiter Jahid(hope I spelled his name right !), not exaggerating, he gave us the best service we've had out of all times we have dined out in London, he is very friendly, attentive but not intrusive, he spoted whatever we needed and made sure to get our orders and plates on time. As someone who works in hectic restaurants I find this kind of service very precious and uncommon, Jahid totally deserves a recognition. I'd recommend getting all you can eat if you're dedicated to eating a lot instead of having a long conversation, because it does come with a time limit of 2 hours and you're limited to getting 4 plates by each order on the condition of finishing food in your plate - and of course these rules could be carried out strict or not depending on if the restaurant is busy and the serving style of the staff, regardless I would suggest knowing the exact dishes you would like to eat so to assure this makes good value for the money you spend. One little thing that bothered me was that they took the bone off the Galbi ribs, I don't like it because I go for Galbi ribs for the texture around the bones, ribs without bones are kind of pointless.:/ hence the missing one star on food ⭐”

  “everything we ordered was exceptional. The salmon starter with fresh ginger was light, tangy, and incredibly appetizing. The meats were beautifully marbled and melted in your mouth.”

  “🐂 Japanese Wagyu Chunk Just sear each side for 5 seconds—that’s all it takes. The wagyu literally melts in your mouth. Highly recommend paying an extra £10 for double the portion—it’s an absolute steal‼️ 🐂 Filet Mignon Thick-cut filet mignon, and you have to order it medium-rare! It’s honestly like eating meat jelly—so bouncy, tender, and incredibly soft. 🐂 Kalbi Short Rib Marinated in a sweet soy sauce, delivering that classic Japanese BBQ flavor. The short rib itself is naturally tender, and it only needs about 20 seconds on the grill before it’s ready to eat. 🐷 Spicy Pork Rather than being strictly spicy, this tasted more like pork belly with a New Orleans-style seasoning. It tastes even better when grilled until the edges are slightly crispy and caramelized. 🐑 Lamb Chops Packed with a rich, aromatic garlic flavor! Even though the chops are thick-cut, they don’t take long to cook at all, resulting in meat that’s tender and delicious. 🍫 S'mores Wasn’t expecting to see this on the menu, but what a nice surprise! Soft, warm toasted marshmallow paired with chocolate and graham crackers—you even get that perfect gooey, stretchy pull with every bite. 😋”

  “We ordered beef bbq, vegetable noodle, chicken karage, bimbimbap beef sukiyaki rice. All of them were quite tasty. But the beef were lack of flavour a bit, I think it would be nicer if the beef got marinated more and longer. The restaurant was cozy, clean and organised. Service was ok and staff were attentive. We will visit again”
