MR JI: Reviews & Ratings
Was blown away by the service and all the dishes. The food was interesting yet delicious and familiar, portion sizes were great and the bill was reasonable. Will definitely be returning and can’t wait! Top dishes: Prawn Toast, Fish Noodles, Duck Leg and Cheesecake AMAZING! Shout out to Mr Jiiii
The place itself is very nice, clean. The service is great and the atmosphere relaxed. I’d say the food overall is very enjoyable and flavourful - I think next time I’ll get a bit of plain rice to balance it all out as some of the flavours were a bit too intense for MY palette. Oh and loved their version of negroni. I will definitely come again
All I can say is that I second everything in Giles Coren's review of this place in The Times. I can definitely add my attestation to their vegan/vegetarian offerings. We ordered them all, and would gladly have most of them again. The guys running the place are amazing. They are casually perfect. Never did we once have to wait for being offered to hang our coats, get seated, taking orders, ordering repeats, clearing tables, dessert menu or bill. Everything was effortlessly swift. They had their eyes on our every need while they chatted us up and guiltily took pride in Coren's review that's now framed and hangs proudly on their walls. The cheesecake is unlike anything you'd have had before. I don't think it's on the menu, but do ask for jasmine tea, which is so potent that you feel like it has been sprayed with jasmine perfume (in a good way!). A perfect finishing touch. This place was meant to be in Camden.
Had an incredible meal at MR JI on Saturday. I ordered the sesame noodles , curry Devon crab omelette, and cheesecake. I wish I had gone with someone else to try more dishes because they were all incredible. The Basque burnt cheesecake is one of the best I have had outside of Spain. I feel gutted to find out this place is closing next week. The food was delicious and I would have loved to come back (which is something that rarely happens to me in London). I hope the people behind this restaurant keep working in the industry because they are very talented.
Blown away by this modern Asian fusion restaurant in the heart of Camden. Order the prawn toast, daikon and fried chicken. No disappointing dishes. Excellent friendly service and the desserts were exceptional. Highly recommended!
Wow wow wow...super good. Lucked into this one as we were looking for a place to eat in Camden before a show. Amazing spot. Delicious dishes, solid service. My only complaintnai there wine was sub mid.
We had a great meal here and the staff were amazing- the menu looked a little confusing, but everything was fantastic. The stand out dishes for us were The devon crab omelette and smashed duck leg. will definitely return
It was so good we’re definitely going back again. We had the copa ham & mackerel pate to start which were both really delicate. Followed by the cabbage which, I don’t normally get excited by cabbage but this was great! Super flavours and dressing. We also had the fish noodles which were like pasta but again really delicate. I had the char siu pork which was incredible value for money and we had to have the prawn toast. This is more like a donut texture with prawns inside covered in a mountain of Parmesan - amazing! Booking a table is recommended
