Chotto Matte in City of London, Westminster

Wow there are so many dishes in the jungle brunch menu definitely worth the price

My first experience of Nikkei cuisine and it was worth all the hype. The asado de tira alone is worth a trip but everything we ordered was perfectly portioned, well balanced and delicious. Looking forward to the next visit 👌🏾

Was shocked to see Franz here who donated a kidney to save my dying mother, bravely beat off a great white shark to save my father and saved my dog from a burning building. I thought there would be no end to his heroics but today he topped it all off by recommending the perfect cocktail. Thanks Franz!

Franz was brilliant, thank you.

Service was impeccable as was the food will definitely be returning.

Great experience in London. Friendly staff gave us many good advice for food and drinks. Will definitely recommend it to friends visiting London!

Delicious food and sake, nice staff.

Shoutout to Franz at Chotto Matte. He seriously made the evening. Super friendly, great energy, and his drink recommendations were on point. If you’re heading there, definitely ask for Franz—he’ll take good care of you!

Franz rocks. Amazing vibe, and better service.

We had drinks outside on a lovely fall day! Franz was amazing! He was knowledgeable and friendly! Best service in London. Chotto Matte is a vibe. Thanks, Franz for making our experience memorable.

Franz is the daddy he deserves 5 star

Great bar, love the table service, especially from Franz! Such a gentleman. Would recommend for a weekend (or weekday) cocktail

Franz provided an exquisite service!

Loved it. The service is impeccable. The food is superb. The setting is spacy yet intimate.

Cozy sitting outside with heating above head! Service is amazing! Franz rocks!! 🤘🏻

Franz was amazing with exceptional customer service I will definitely be back with service like his

Franz is great! Best service we have had here!

Our waiter Franz was really sweet and the cocktails were amazing!!

Very nice place, loved the atmosphere, the music and the staff. Very good selection of drinks and Antonio in the bar was the best. Definitely will recommend! Review 2: The people over here never disappoint. The last few times I have been here I had the pleasure of meeting Rafail and Michael (probably I got his name wrong, sorry about that...). Deffinitely the best cocktails in London, thank you very much everyone for looking after me and my friends! This time we have been looked after by Mr. Franz. Thank you very much for your service!

Drinks on the terrace was lovely, big shout out to Franz for supplying the booze 🍸

Frans was GREAT ! Love this place

Jeffrey and Pedro are the absolute best bartenders in SoHo. They gave great knowledge and conversation for the lone American traveler like myself. If you wanna feel welcome in London go there!

Franz is the best! He served us the most amazing cocktails and was incredibly friendly, thoughtful and accommodating! We'll definitely come back :))

Franz was our sever tonight. Extremely pleasant and helpful!

Got a great wine, Franz our waiter was lovely! Good atmosphere

It is a really nice restaurant. I have been to their dinner, and it was amazing 👏 I've been to brunch, and they say it is "free flowing," but it is not.... the staff do not want to give you prosecco. When you ask them, they kind of take a really long time to bring the alcohol..... I'd say the brunch is NOT worth it.

Franz was the perfect host for our G&T!

Great food, good service, good atmosphere. 2nd time here and it hasn’t disappointed.

The waitress Franz did take care of us ❤️

Great vibe, great drinks and great service, our server Franz was the best!

Franz was great!! super cute place l

The bar/restaurant looks amazing and the staff are very friendly. Shout out to Franz, one of the staff. He was nothing lovely and helpful!

Franz rocked! Lovely chap, quick service and really friendly!!!

Down from Edinburgh for the weekend and had such a fab experience with Franz! Kept us hydrated

Franz was amazing! Great service :)

Came here for drinks before a show. Franz was an amazing host.

Went for brunch for our friend’s birthday the food was amazing so fresh and filling as well the yellow tail sashimi was by far the best I would go back for that and the long oyster mushroom tostadas too!! The service was great and fast. The atmosphere was a bit quiet but it was 3pm. Mock tails was just coloured sparkling water 😑

Had a great meal here. Firstly the staff were very helpful and attentive without being overbearing. The food is excellent, even the side dishes were filled with flavour. The Macha Cake on the dessert platter was a definite highlight. Even adding a small 'happy anniversary' made from chocolate to the platter was a nice touch too!

The fish here was amazing. In particular the ceviche. Only thing we had that I was disappointed by, was the ribs. Otherwise this was an incredible evening out. Service was great. Really good cocktails too.

Good sushi 🍣 nice service, Franz was really friendly!

Excellent quality of ingredients and presentation top notch. It is on the pricey side but worth to visit. The decor is timeless modern.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chotto Matte, and it was a truly memorable experience. The menu offered a wide variety of options, and we chose sea bass ceviche, prawn tempura, sushi, and calamari. Each dish was expertly prepared, showcasing the freshness and high quality of the ingredients. One of the standout features of the restaurant is the perfect pacing of the meal, allowing us to fully enjoy each dish without feeling rushed. Special thanks to both Maria & Soraida who truly elevated the dining experience with their warm and welcoming approach. Having visited this restaurant twice, I can confidently say it is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic and exceptional Japanese cuisine. Highly recommended!

Wow. £39 for to half filled medium glasses of wine. What a rip off.

Hi! Food here was lovely, can’t complain but service by the manager however was not great. We ordered a bottle of wine after trying two tasters for the table, the wine from the bottle ended up being sparkling wine. Instead of listening to all three of us on the table say that it was not the same as what we tried we were made to feel stupid and that it was ‘’’mineralised’ and that we needed to let the new bottle air. So basically the tester was a bottle from days ago and not the same as what the bottle we received. Instead of making us feel stupid she could have just admitted that and asked us what else we would like. Then to top it off when she left we got a huge eye roll. It was myself, my mother and my mother in law and a friend who wasn’t drinking. It was quite embarrassing. We then ordered individual glasses of white wine and my white wine glass was room temperature. I actually asked the waitress to see herself and she agreed. I got offered a piece of ice to put in. At this point I said I give up I’ll make do without. Also the cheek as well, we split the bill from food and drinks as my friend doesn’t drink alcohol. And they tried to make us pay two sets of service charge. No apology from the manager and makes me embarrassed to suggest this place again, which is a shame because the chefs work was superb, disappointing the staff/hospitality didn’t match.

Wowsers! That was a long 4 hour lunch and the food just kept on coming during a networking event I was attending. The Peruvian / Japanese fusion really works on the palete. The staff were great and the environment very welcoming and relaxing. Can't wait to revisit 🌟

The overall experience and ambiance were truly exceptional. I visited twice, and the service provided was consistently outstanding.

The experience was good, but the food is not existing or creative as I remembered. On the expensive side.

The vibe is super nice, the food is delicious and the waitress Lily was super friendly and helpful - overall a great experience

A perfect Saturday brunch! A tasting menu and bottomless champagne—what more could you dream of? The food was absolutely exceptional, but the service took it to another level. Huge shoutout to our server, Hao (hope I spelled that right); he’s been the best server ever, making sure every detail was spot on. The vibes were electric, the music was perfect, and everyone was having an absolute blast. My friends were over the moon that I brought them here! You should definitely try the First Table app! It’s an easy way to book a table and get 50% off your food bill, plus you’ll discover some awesome restaurants while you’re at it!

Really nice service, but the food was a bit disappointing. They use a lot of sauces and I don’t think it is necessary in every dish, e.g. super sweet sauce with padron papers. Also, they added smth to the rolls. Very small portions for the prices asked.

Arjun nailed it, and delicious food.

Food was decent, atmosphere was great

Very good! Lily was great, but other servers tried to give us the wrong good multiple times

Cool vibes in centre of Soho, but was expecting more for the price we paid. Food was varied and nice but expensive even for London. Gluten free is available but staff didn’t seem to know very much about it so would be wary

Good dinner in a fun atmosphere.

Wow what an amazing experience. Lily is the best server make sure you ask for her section!

Firstly the service was excellent, very attentive staff and quick service. However I have mixed feelings about the food. The sato maki, Nikkei Gyoza and spicy tuna haka roll were the highlights for me. The black cod ahi miso was lovely but not the best I’ve ever had but the salt and pepper calamari was disappointing the squid was very chewy. The real disaster was the Tentáculos De Pulpo Y Calamares. It was extremely salty and so hard and chewy it was practically inedible, I wanted to spit it out but begrudgingly swallowed it due to lack of any way to discreetly dispose of it. Considering the price of the food I wouldn’t go again. Also the restaurant was cold, when asked to turn down the ac I was told it had been turned off but it instead got even colder. Had to put my jacket back on towards the end of the meal

One of the worst nights. Recently I'm very disappointed with the restaurant scene in London and today wasn't the exception, was a birthday celebration and we choose this place to have a nice dinner, Starters came surprisingly fast so we start assuming because is Monday and the place is not full the night should be smooth, wrong, in between the 2 first dishes and the mains we wait more than half hour, when we call the lady who was in charge of our section, she blaim the kitchen and after blaim us for our many allergies and after, her suggestion was cancel our full order, For real????is that your magic solution? After that came the 2 first main dishes, octopus and squid dish and the pork ribs, both completely cold, in between the dishes manager came, apologies for the mistakes, by the time the second dish came cold too, we just laughed, all was a joke. They took out the dishes from the table and without ask they assumed we didn't want them anymore, no offering fix them or bring new ones. After we received 2 cods, when we just order 1 but didn't make a comment, without that mistake we will not eat enough, after they sent the same bad face lady (not the manager, she was nice) with an exaggerated huge plate of dessert and the most cold and not wanted "happy birthday" drop the plate and leave, leaving with a bill of more than 250 pounds for a very disappointing night in Soho.

My mum and I just wanted to find somewhere for a quick drink but ended up staying here for longer than expected as the atmosphere and service was so great. We originally looked at the menu and my mum wanted a coffee, although it wasn’t on the menu, Franz kindly was able to get it for her and I had a yuzu martini which delicious. Will be coming back here again 💗

Really nice vibe in the venue with a live DJ and chilled lounge music. The staff were extremely nice and very attentive. Drinks are quite pricey at £13.95 for a cocktail but they are also quite tasty and considering the venue location it’s no shocker. I’d definitely recommend this place for a low key evening hangout with friends or family.

Nice place but very overpriced for the food which by no means was exceptional and at £300 we expected better. The desert was lovely, but the platter was an example of massive food waste. We had the tasting menu for two, and there is no way two people can put away that amount of desert! OK, for drinks but wouldn't go back to eat.

Super service and food and atmosphere!! Perfect 15 wedding anniversary!!! Hey hey!! 🥰 Come, you won't regret it until the bill arrives 😂😂 but it's worth it!!

Amazing experience at the Marylebone location! Hilarious and attentive server and absolutely amazing food! Good sake too. Can’t wait to go back!! Got mushroom salad, edamame, tuna and dragon roll! So good!

We had a fantastic meal and were very well served by Lily, we recommend it 100% and we will surely repeat when we return to London! This restaurant has been a success.

Elegant and cosy place, and Lily who was serving our table was super sweet and friendly through the evening.

Franz was excellent! Really enjoyed our visit!

Stumbled upon this gem walking around the lively streets of Soho. I absolutely loved the spicy crispy Tuna sushi. Being from Hawaii at lived up to my high standards. Frank, our waiter was the best and recommended a good sake to pair with that.

Thank you Franz for looking after us. Great drinks and atmosphere

Great drinks and amazing service from Franz! Highly recommend to anyone who is close to visit 👌🏼 we will be back very soon!

Didn’t eat but great place to have a drink and watch Soho go by. Franz was super friendly and provided great service. Thank you.

Lovely service from Franz, we'd love to come again.

Had some lovely cocktails. Amazing service by Franz

My man Franz was bloody exceptional! Thank you for the quality food and a-star service

Best Service from Franz! Perfect Drinks and the Food is excellent.

Franz rocks! He was a great host! Give him a raise!

We love Chotto matte and come here often. Great food and cocktails, love the music too. Franz took care of us superbly today, absolute star!

I was in town on business and wanted to grab some sushi. Chotto Matte was just around the corner from where I was staying so thought I’d check it out. From the moment I entered the vibe was great but most importantly the staff were fabulous. Something I rarely see these days and I dine out a lot. Diana was one of the first staff members I met who greeted me with a warm sincere smile. I was asked whether I’d like to sit downstairs or upstairs. I requested up and within seconds Valeria came to escort me upstairs. She was kind, friendly and personable. That personal touch goes along way in customer service. It makes me feel like they actually care which always sets the right tone. I was seated, told how it all works and introduced to Lily who was as equally accommodating as her colleagues. I know people might think this is the least one can expect from a respectable establishment but it isn’t always the case. When it happens I’m compelled to celebrate those people. I chose the set sharing menu 1 and a few dishes had to be swapped out to accommodate my dietary requirements. (Yes I’m one of those people🙈) But it wasn’t an issue for Lily who made great alternative suggestions. The food came quickly, was delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed my solo night out. So yes, need a cool spot with great staff, delectable food and a great overall atmosphere? Then look no further. I’d absolutely recommend you give Chotto Matte a go. Best, Grant Dudson

Delicious food as always and impeccable service from our waitress Sonia. Highly recommend

Very atmospheric and a great vibe . Went during the weekend and was a balmy evening so plenty of seats outside . The music from the DJ was Uber cool but way too loud , my friend and I could barely talk to each other and asked for the music to be turned down as was honestly like a nightclub . The food was great but the waitress advised us to order far too much , thankfully we didn’t listen and orders 8 plates between the 2 of us which was more than enough . Beware over ordering , start with a couple and just add on if necessary . Cocktails were excellent.

We had such a good time at Chotte Matte … and specially our server Lilly was so friendly and she really took care of us and was so attentive to our needs !!

Great food and service from Franz!

Cool spot! Franz provided amazing service!

Such a great experience, thank you so much for our server Franz who was so helpful and so nice and made this evening so special for us! Definitely will come back!!!

Franz was an amazing server. 11/10 service from him.

Delicious cocktails and service! Franz was great!

Great outdoor table - Franz was fab server !

Franz the waiter was superb!! Great service

Lovely little ( yet not so little) place in heart of Soho. Great background music and interior design is pleasing for eyes. This evening Franz looked after us very well and also managed to get our Sake nice and warm and even bought hot water bath for Sake jug to keep it warm and enjoyable on this chilly August evening. Thank you

Had a great time and stellar service from Franz!

Our visit Chotto Matte Soho was absolutely delightful. Our group had a few dietary restrictions, and they did an excellent job accommodating for them. Two of them had gluten allergy’s, and the staff was very knowledgeable and helped with that. For the food, the Sharing menu 1 was absolutely amazing, the food was incredible and our group had great fun trying and sharing it. The highlight was the spicy tuna sushi, or the ribs. Highly recommend! Lastly, our delightful waitress Lily was truly amazing, they helped with food selections, and was incredibly helpful and kind throughout the night. Thanks to Lily and Chotto Matte for an amazing dinner, we can’t wait to come back again soon!

The food was excellent so was the service. I really enjoyed it .The atmosphere was great.

Visited this place yesterday and was served by a lovely gentleman named Franz! Such a wonderful spot to have a nice drink and chill very much enjoyed the time here amazing bathrooms as well, delicious wine and delicious cocktails

A wonderful time, luxurious environment, lovely music and amazing hospitality thanks so much Franz and Hao for being so kind and welcoming 🥂 Definitely will be back !!

This was a great dinning experience Franz and Hao was amazing. So kind, knowledgeable and friendly. This was a beautiful experience.

Popped in last minute to get a drink before closing and the staff could not have been more lovely or accommodating- special shout out to Franz who was fab! We will be back for many more drinks and thanks for the lols

A little expensive, but very fancy - from the village
