Historical version 17 of Bincho Yakitori, SE1 9PH (view current version)

Reasonably priced yakitori restaurant in the Oxo Tower. They also have another branch at 16 Old Compton Street in Soho.

Serves a wide range of authentic yakitori and kushiyaki, including bits of a chicken (and other animals) that are not often seen on a skewer in the west. Prices per skewer start from about £1.50 and go up to about £2.50. They also do a range of side dishes to accompany the skewers.

Kake and James visited on a Sunday evening just before Christmas 2007. We paid £40 each, but that did include quite a lot of sake (if I've calculated right, the food part was just over £16/person for six skewers each, a bowl of rice each, and a shared dessert). I'd say you want at least six skewers each plus rice.

The kitchen is open-plan, so you can watch the chefs grilling your skewers.
