Byron FizpatrickJanuary 16, 2014Great handryer toilet. In fact top notch, met all my sanitary needs.
David ThairApril 29, 2012Really great food but the prices are questionable. Don't order the pickle unless £2.80 seems like a fair price for a tiny bit of cucumber!
Łukasz KoreckiMay 25, 2013I don't is amazing but the place is quite expensive and you can find a place which is as good as Koya but for less money
Delicious traditional Udon and Soba just like they do it in Japan. ;)
The GuardianApril 25, 2012"There's a lot to be said for sticking to what you're good at – and this tiny Japanese place is very good at making noodles indeed..." Read more
Sixty GeluApril 3, 2013For all it's charm, the restaurant's service is slow: we waited 30mins for our meal. The food is tasty, yet overpriced. However, the staff are charming and helpful.
DaniellaMarch 23, 2013Love the atmosphere of this place. Vegetarian options not great though- extremely bland. And don't order the tempura batter - very bad idea! Friend's meat equivalent dish looked great though.
Ashton McGregorOctober 10, 2010Mostly known for it's udon but tempura is also very good (as I'd the beer). Always check out what the specials are
Joyce ChiaSeptember 4, 2011I absolutely loved the udon noodles!! A must if you are a Japanese food lover.
Gaelle NormandOctober 15, 2011My reco: mushroom and walnut miso, Cold udon in hot broth. Very filling.
Quite possibly the greatest bowl of udon you will ever consume.
The onsen tamago as a topping as opposed to a small dish is great cracked straight into the hot broth. Mega love.
Alex NikolaouFebruary 18, 2012If you like Chinese noodles, this is the place! Otherwise you can pass!
Irakli AgladzeMarch 30, 2013Best japanese food you've ever tried. Choose anything, won't be disappointed.
Bad bad bad, their glass shattered and cut my hand, no apology from staff for shoddy product and nothing offered for my cut hand with shards of glass in it!! Disgusting service. Will never return!!
Great noodle but the worst service ever. The staff are rude need a day at Pret training in customer service. Went to Masala Zone instead where we were greeted warmly.
Ginger tea formula seems to have changed. Maybe they started using powder. Please don't decrease the quality!
Metro.co.ukSeptember 10, 2010It's not much to look at behind its traditional noren curtain, but it's so worth venturing inside to discover what all the fuss is about - it's sensational. Metro gave it 4 out of 5 Stars. Read more
