Lamb skewer is one of my fav, and I’m so grateful to find this restaurant which does it so good!
The staff were super nice to us and chatted to our baby girl. She enjoyed the meat and noodles. Lovely dishes, thank you 😊
Came back here for third time because the lamb skewers is really nice. Loved the cold noodle as well, goes very well with the BBQ meat. Good service as well, this place always need to book beforehand as the shop is quite small and always full during meal hours. Will definitely recommend!
This is our second time to Yan Ji. It’s one of very few BBQ restaurants in London that uses Charcoal for the BBQ. Our beef skewers were a little disappointing compared to last time, shouldn’t be marinated too much as we cant tell if it is cooked. The other dishes like grilled eggplant and cold noodles were great! Please improve the beef with less marinate and fresher meat, and it will be 5 stars.
If you are here, best to order more types of skewers and enjoy with rice or noodle dishes 👀🙌🏻
New favourite!
The skewers we ordered were very very good. The bbq is charcoal so is SO flavourful!
We ordered; skewers of chicken hearts, lamb and of beef. The kimchi is 10/10.
Fried chicken is out of this world 👽 made with (maybe) cornflakes. BBQ pork belly.

This place is a really a special find, not many real charcoal fire korean bbq places around. However, keep an eye on your food and if you don't, don't come here crying about overlooking your own food.
Came here for the first time and it was an amazing experience! The food was spot on! The meats were really nicely marinated and I enjoyed watching the skewers cook itself. The pork belly skewers were cooked inside for us as I believe that’s a bit more difficult for customers to cook to perfection themselves. The 3 sauces that came with it was perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful. One was guiding us on how we should cook the meat so it’s perfectly done. Would definitely comeback again and highly recommended if you are craving for some nice bbq food cooked on the table.
Skewers are grilled for 5-7 mins only, very quick and tasted good. All dishes meet our expectations, not bad!
The food was of very good quality and the service was super fast! We’ve been a few times already and it’s become our go to now!
The side dishes compliment the meat beautifully, and we loved all of the different sauces and spices
Very good BBQ place! Skewers are delicious (our favourite being squid & chicken hearts (must try!)) and overall experience was great! Service is great as well. Well done :)
Food was great, service was good - they missed an item and the ended up giving another item by mistake. We paid by cash and they gave us a discount... which is always helpful. The space is cramped but the vibes were great. We got our own little room with our group, so it felt cosy.
This tiny shop was on my to do list for quite a while and today came here for the first time with my friends! The BBQ kit on the table is amazing. With the self-turning skewers, you don't really have to worry about whether the meat will be evenly grilled or not. The service is helpful as the staff are super experienced and they check each table all the time to make sure no one eats raw food.
Apart from BBQ, there are other classic Korean dishes available as well. The menu is not long but well thought out. Will definitely come back.
Came here with friends, it's a nice restaurant serving Korean food and skewers. They have larger tables downstairs if you have a larger group. Enjoyed the food and experience. Loved the self turning skewers which cooked evenly. Will be back with the fam.
The restaurant is new and clean. The skewers are tasty and fresh. The sweet corns cost £4.5 per portion, we ordered two portion and it was all the amount showed in my photo, which was too little. Recommend meat, not vegs. We spent about £25 per head.

Really good Chinese bbq and Korean food crossover. Hard to find quality Chinese bbq or Korean in the city that isn’t out in New Malden. Any fan of these foods will have a great time with some mates!
This food cured my depression. It's the best food I've had in the longest time, and i will definitely come back again!
Sunday lunch with mother and family, quite refreshing with BBQ skewers cooked on the table ourselves.
Food is nicely seasoned, portions size ok, 5 people comes to £120, not as much as we thought it was going to be.
Would recommend a visit.
All those BBQ meat we ordered are fresh and tasty. Service was good. The restaurant use real coal is a must for real taste BBQ as it just taste differently. We were enjoying the stay and definitely coming back soon for friends gathering.
We went at 8:30pm, they’ve already ran out of beef, unfortunately. The staffs had fast service but the food took awhile to come. The owner is super nice and friendly. Good food and great barley tea. The sides were good too. Had a great experience overall.
Also we checked in ahead whether we can bring a dog, they said it’s ok as long as it doesn’t bark and isn’t a nuisance. Simba was praised on how well he behaved 🥰
We booked for a party of 6 and were not disappointed. The food was excellent - delicious lamb and beef kebabs, KFC wings and rice sides - and the experience of cooking the meat over charcoal on the bbq was great fun. We ate and drank really well for about £30pp. We will be back soon!
