Yari Club, London's first robotic yakitori restaurant

Yari Club is the first robotic Yakitori restaurant in London hence I had to give it a try.

At the entrance you will see this rotating grill that holds the skewer which rotates around the grill.

All that is offered are skewers mainly chicken.

As they have newly opened, they are in teething stages so not all skewers are available.

I most wanted to try the chicken skin which is like crackling but it wasn't available.

Other than that, the three I tried were to my liking and probably the best yakitori I have had if it keeps that way.

The chicken is silky and tender with a bounce if you choose the thigh and the yakitori sauce is just right as it isn't too sweet or sticky.

I didn't like yakitori before from past experiences because it was so sweet that once you took a bite it makes you drink so much water to flush it.

They serve tsukune where at some restaurants it comes with egg yolk for dipping for those in the know but I can imagine the concept being a bit weird in UK as well as the chicken skin.
