Of course, you'll find all the food and drink favourites here (think homemade gyoza, karaage chicken, and whisky cocktails), but it's about more than just that. It's about the experience.

    Thank you for an amazing lunch, the service was exceptional and the food to die for. Especially the Prawns and the Toothfish (which is the first time I have ever eaten out and had it cooked perfectly). The Cauliflower Karaage was so beautiful and fresh it blew my socks off. Thank you again to all the team for a memorable dining experience.

    Yakitori Jin never gets it wrong! The food is fantastic. The owners and staff are the best. The must try dishes are the Kingfish with Apple Salad. Divine! Eggplant with Miso sauce and Sashimi Tacos - Yum! We have been weekly visitors for the past 4 yrs. We've tried others but nothing compares.
