Mr Ji
London, Camden - Asian Fusion - Restaurant
Originally a grab-and-go set-up selling Taiwanese fried chicken in Soho, Mr Ji relocated to larger premises on Camden's Parkway. It stands out from the many low-budget dining options in the area, thanks to a rolling menu of eclectic east-meets-west small plates – say, soy-braised mackerel with soft egg and caperberries or crispy panko chicken with 'spice dust' and piccalilli mayo. A must-order is the prawn toast, which comes as a deep-fried buttery brioche bun topped with Parmesan and filled with prawns and sweetcorn in a sloppy béchamel sauce. Service is friendly and laid-back. Drink from a short selection of cocktails, sakes or low-intervention wines.
