Charco Charco YakinikuB+

83-93 Southampton Row, London WC1B 4HD · Japanese restaurant · Bloomsbury

Charco Charco Yakiniku delivers a memorable Japanese BBQ and sushi experience with premium meats and lively service, but inconsistent hospitality and high prices may frustrate some diners.

The verdict

Charco Charco Yakiniku delivers solid food quality anchored by premium wagyu and creative sushi, making it competitive with London's better neighborhood Japanese restaurants. However, inconsistent execution and variable service attentiveness—ranging from attentive to occasionally rude—prevent a higher grade. The lively group atmosphere and tableside grilling experience appeal strongly to celebration-minded diners, though premium pricing and fusion-forward menu limit broader appeal.

One caveat: Service inconsistency: Some guests report dismissive or rude staff, especially when raising complaints.
