Mr Ji has been around in one form or another since 2017 – first as a pop up at Hook in Camden before moving into a permanent place in Soho in 2019 and then relocating to Camden in 2022. Meng and Ana from TATA Eatery revamped the chicken-centric menu, inspired by Taiwanese night markets, in late 2020 and now Mr Ji has expanded beyond Taiwanese chicken to explore broader East Asian flavours. There’s the amazing prawn “in” toast, a brioche bun filled with bechamel, sweetcorn & prawns; The O’Ji, a deep fried chicken breast with chilli sprinkles & piccalilli mayo; mapo tofu wontons with chilli dressing; fried chicken hearts with sweet cirry & lettuce wraps; and braised pig’s head & dumpling skin tacos. Wash down with a couple of salted plum negronis and you’ve got a good time.
