Yakimachi

You'll find Yakimachi tucked away on Silver Walk, just off St Martin's Square—close enough to the city centre to grab after work, far enough to feel like a proper discovery. It's the kind of place where they've stripped everything back to basics: charcoal, flame, perfectly sourced chicken, and a drinks list that actually makes sense. The room's modest and unpretentious, which somehow makes the food hit harder. This is straightforward yakitori done properly—no fussing, no Instagram theatrics, just grilled chicken that tastes like it was cooked by someone who cares.
