About
Hachi opened on Brewer Street in 2018, quietly establishing itself as one of London's most authentic Japanese BBQ destinations despite minimal marketing. The restaurant specialises in premium Japanese beef — including certified Kobe beef and wagyu cuts such as the showstopping chateaubriand fillet — cooked by diners on electric tabletop grills at each table. The intimacy of the Soho space and its largely Japanese clientele speak to the restaurant's credibility with the Japanese community in London. A dedicated Wagyu course menu allows guests to taste multiple cuts in a structured format. Japanese alcohols including sake and whisky complement the beef-centric menu.
Neighborhood & visiting
Hachi Japanese BBQ sits in Soho, one of London's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused yakitori counter this is strongly recommended.
