Koya Bar - Piatti

Hands down favourite place for udon especially this branch. Broth is fragrant, noodles have a bite, tempura is light yet crunchy. Also they have really nice side dishes. Always a nice, quick but filling lunch.

Worth every minute of waiting time. The spot is a small space with a huge open kitchen and seating around the long counter. Everything is prepared fresh, their udon noddles are perfect for a winter weather. Definitely a recommend, they don’t take reservations, walk in only.

Hearty, flavorful udon. Noodle texture and chewiness was on point. Portions are super generous, so I’d only order sides if I were dining with someone else. Queues can get quite long during peak times (I waited 45-60 minutes for dinner). I’d advise going there for lunch on a weekday. Visualizza piatti

Authentic, no-frills Japanese cuisine. This isn 't your modern photogenic bowl of Ramen that you might be used to, but everything is full of flavour and super well prepared. Service is very fast and the chefs hand the food over the counter to you. Super delicious and very reasonably priced. Very small inside but service is so fast you 'll be seated in no time.

Very authentic Japanese hot cuisine in London. Udon are outstanding, try different combination until you find your favourite one. Tempura dishes are great, always freshly made, just like the way they are in Japan. Also try the one on special menu on the black board. There is almost always a long queue but we’ll worth the wait! Hopefully they can add more tables.

Always loved Koya for the most authentic Japanese hot cuisine in town. Udon is their specialty in my opinion, and they serve an especially delicious CURRY udon. It is out of the world. Tempura dishes are also on point, always freshly made, just like the way they are in Japan. There is almost always a long queue, so either go super early or late to avoid long queuing times.

I haven't been in London for 8 years... And my first had to be Koya: it is by far my favorite restaurant in London. The food is so perfectly delicious beyond its seeming simplicity. I had little tears of joy eating the pork belly braised in cider the udons are the best I've had anywhere and I enjoyed so much my lunch that I came back a few hours later for a serving of cold udon with a hot soup

What an amazing find. One of the best and most authentic Japanese dining experiences in London. The food is simple yet exquisite in taste and presentation. The prices are relatively cheap and competitive. We ordered the curry udon, tempura and beef udon. All fresh, filling and flavorful! Servings are great. The staff are friendly! Just be prepared to queue here but the wait shouldn’t be long anyway. All in all a highly satisfying dining experience and one that is worth checking out.

Disappointing. I found this place on Google and I decided to pay it a visit with a friend given the high number of vegan options. We got there around 9.30 and the restaurant is closing 10. We were told to wait and then, once seated, we were told that most of the items were sold out which was a bit disappointing. We ordered whatever was available and the food was actually ok. Having said that, the customer service was a bit rude and uninterested which is not great given the prices. The lady who served us was very grumpy from the beginning till the end, and they even forgot one of the two drinks we ordered. Overall, negative experience. Decent food but very poor customer service. They seemed t... Visualizza piatti
