   Have been here multiple times, good as always. The service was unfortunately rushed and is declined a bit during the last few times.

   The food was amazing, and love the style of cooking the food yourself on the table, but you don't get a lot for your money, but overall it was really nice.

   I left a note when booking mentioning we will be celebrating birthday. The staff secretly prepared a case with candle. So sweet!

   Tasty food, quite expensive, service was lacklustre but adequate, went with the teenagers so was a fun way to eat a meal, you do pay for it, London prices.

   5th time returning. The silver buffet is great but a shame the beef rice and garlic fried rice are on the gold menu, leaving just plain rice on silver. Otherwise Kintan is one of my favourite restaurants in London

   Took my 2 kids (11 and 13) there over half term and had a decent time. Loved the food, great quality and the interactivity of cooking together is really fun. We also really enjoyed the music and overall setting. The service was terrible though! Had to chase for everything, and not a single server said more than a word to us. We've been to Japanese/Korean BBQ before so knew what to do, otherwise we would've been completely clueless. Dangerous given that they just chuck raw meat at you! The laminated menus were also tired, dirty, and in desperate need of replacing. The real sting in the tail, though, is the 12.5% service charge tacked on. I paid it, simply because I had no idea when I may have had the chance to grab an indifferent server to have the bill amended. Look, they were busy, but we truly felt invisible. On our way out, the hostess was sat at the bar, scrolling through her phone, without even a glance at us. For £150, we felt cheated out of basic hospitality.

   Great food, service needed refining. We were left waiting at reception before entry table service also a bit slow however food and drinks are great for the price. Would still go back

    On my visit there were plenty of Japanese customers, which is a good sign. As a Brit who lived in Japan I was very happy with the whole experience. Service was excellent.
