DRAZDecember 19, 2015Great tasting food, I went with the beef udon (warm warm) and the tempura it was deliscious!
Helena KunchamJanuary 11, 2018Had the kitsune atsu atsu udon and pork belly. Everything was too sweet even though the restaurant is very cute and Japanese.
Faye DMay 24, 2016Great udon but not sure what the rave about the tofu was about. It was really poor value at £7
Stephen OMarch 15, 2015Everything's good! But don't come too late, as the popular dishes and daily specials can sell out
Emmanuel XMarch 21, 2017I'm scrutinising here because I know a place like Koya can do better. My udon was just too hot. Couldn't eat it for a good 20min, without hyperbole here. And what is it with Sky news radio on? Vibe 👎
Y YFebruary 6, 2018Always been having my udon fix here. This time around the lady who manages the queue was so rude. Ignore the lady and have good tempura instead.
Breakfast is amazing. Kitsune is my go to. With the yakizakana.
Aggi CantrillJanuary 21, 2015Onigri for breakfast- wonderfully filling and healthy. NB Just the bar is open for breakfast- Koya, next door - is open in evenings
Winnie ChaiSeptember 20, 2018Came here for breakfast. Rice porridge w variety of Japanese pickles. So good .
MelAugust 12, 2014Excellent curry don. Prawn was super hot! Came with nice miso, but service was a little slow.
Buta miso udon with a poached egg! Get a hot ginger too!
Jared CreechSeptember 26, 2015Treat yourself. It ain't cheap but it's as authentic as you are going to get this far west.
MaríaAugust 21, 2014Whatever you have, pair it with a hot ginger drink. It will warm up your heart. And soul.
Yoonjung ChoiJune 3, 2019Liked here! Udon is good but the udon noodles should have been more cooked. It’s slightly undercooked. Other than that, it tastes good. Gyu-katsu is a bit disappointing. Beef are gamey.
In love with the casual atmosphere and regularly craving the ざるうどん (zaru udon).
Zhenshuo FangSeptember 19, 2017Definitely come here for breakfast to avoid waiting in line for hours!
PaulMay 24, 2015Noodles and that's it. Won't be to everyone's taste especially if you're set on having Japanese. Noodles in all forms and textures. Quiet place and slow service. Great quality.
InesJanuary 28, 2019Very authentic Japanese udon restaurant. Too bad my gyu-katsu was way too overcooked ☹️.
Phil NomJuly 30, 2015A little slow, a little sloppy, a little overpriced for a textbook udon noodle.
What happened to their gyu-katsu 😢 Texture is too tough and chewy - tastes a little frozen
Kate GomesOctober 28, 2015We had very high expectations and it was good but not great. You can definitely get better, cheaper in Soho.
Aaron WermuthApril 6, 2015Staff and service was quick and courteous but I wasn't really impressed with the food or its presentation. Perhaps I just didn't order the right thing.
Clea RomeoMarch 26, 2017Service is a bit crap. People after us ordered first. Ordered 2 soups only got 1 and had to wait while they made the other. I think Ichiryu at TCR makes better udon
