Shaftesbury Capital has announced that Japanese barbecue restaurant High Yaki has launched its debut location, in Chinatown London.
Located at 10 Newport Place, High Yaki’s 3,600sq ft Chinatown London restaurant seats 150 covers, set across two floors with a mezzanine level for private dining. The restaurant boasts an opulent curved bar wall displaying traditional Japanese liquors, statement lighting fixtures, sleek black marble finishes, and built-in tabletop grilling systems.
Bringing an exciting take on Japanese barbecue to the destination, High Yaki specialises in yakitori, yakiniku, and dry-aged wagyu, and displays its ready-to-grill items in its showstopping “staircase barbecue” style. Traditional Japanese cuisine is given a western twist, featuring dishes such as Wagyu Beef Tongue, Wagyu Nigiri, and Sashimi Omakase, the Chef’s special selection of fresh sashimi.
Andrew Price, Executive Director at Shaftesbury Capital, commented: “Chinatown London has always been a sought-after location for independent ESEA brands, championing exciting new concepts based on trends and traditions from across the region. High Yaki delivers on this with its unique take on Japanese barbeque, and is a great addition to the bustling Newport Place, joining Chinatown London’s unmatched collection of authentic regional Chinese and pan-Asian restaurants.”
