Kinchan

Will it be yakitori, or fried chicken as well? At Kinchan, you can make a meal of a few skewers, or take your time over fried dishes and other plates. Diners have singled out both the yakitori and fried chicken as memorable. Skewer choices include chicken thigh, gizzard, tail and skin, as well as tsukune (chicken meatballs), chicken neck, chicken tenderloin with plum and negima (chicken and spring onion). There is also a three-skewer chef’s selection. Choose different cuts to sample a little of each, or make the meal more substantial with a yakitori rice bowl or rice balls. Fried chicken is on the menu too, and one diner has mentioned taking it away with yakitori.

For something beyond skewers, kimchi chijimi and steamed chicken salad are among the dishes mentioned in reviews. The salad is on the menu and offers a fresh option between skewers and fried food. Cold noodle salad is another possibility. One diner said that kobukuro tataki and cold noodle salad were their favourites beyond the yakitori, suggesting a different way to build a meal. Drinks include draft beer, chūhai in flavours such as lemon-lime and yuzu, wine soda and non-alcoholic beer. Beer is an easy match for yakitori, but there are other choices to suit the pace of the meal.

Kinchan offers takeaway as well as dine-in service. It works for sharing skewers and other plates at the restaurant, or taking yakitori and fried chicken home.
