"Jin Kichi’s intimate two-person booth is a date night table of dreams. The neighbourhood izakaya-style Japanese spot in Hampstead is a popular restaurant for romances young and old in NW3. With fish being expertly cut at the sushi counter and sizzling skewers being rotated around the robata grill, there’s plenty to fall in love with here. Even if you’re not in that booth, there’s an irresistible excitement around the room that, judging by the regulars, has been around for a few anniversaries." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
