Hoja in Islington

Este restaurante informal y barato cerca de Shepherds Bush Green en Goldhawk Road sirve buena comida femenina de la calle. Al lado de una sopa de fideos auténtica cerveza de carne y burbujas té Taiwán están en oferta. Este lugar es una excelente adición a la comida que ofrecen en el oeste de Londres

Me encanta este restaurante, que he estado allí un par de veces y en ambos casos me habría gustado tener que pedir la totalidad Sushi menú. Es absolutamente deliciosa! Los aperitivos y vino son buenos, así como los precios son competitivos considera la calidad de la comida. Tienen ofertas de Tastecard y el ambiente es muy frío y relajante!

The wait staff is clearly inexperienced. They tried to take me order before my dining companion arrived. It took them three attempts to bring us an empty glass for the bottled water we ordered, namely a glass without ice. When we asked for the bill, it didn't come and after 10 minutes, I got up and asked for it again. By the way, half the wait staff were Chinese and probably students. The food was terrible, mushy vegetable gyoza and the kitchen is slow. It clearly cannot cope with a full, but not overflowing restaurant on a Friday night.

I have to say i was pleasantly surprised, portion size is good, price reasonable and overall the experience was very enjoyable indeed. Staff were friendly and helpful and the place is nice enough inside. It kind of reminded me of the food that a certain High Street chain who like long table communal seating did, when they were still good and gave decent portions. If you are ever in the Angel area and fancy something different give it a go, you wont be disappointed.

No soy un gran fan de comida asiática per se pero me encantó este restaurante en la calle superior.

Delicous food presented beautifully. Enjoyed it and I will definitely go back.

We booked last minute as we couldn't find a baby sitter and decided to go out with the kids for a quick and early dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. As we came in, I thought the venue was tiny but then we were seated in the room at the back which was light and airy. The service was spontaneously caring; we had to wait a few minutes for the food - longer than a typical chinese but not disturbing at all, and I gather they cook to order the food. The order came all at the same time and was very good! The bill was a positive surprise.

Íbamos a un concierto y Vine aquí para pedirnos una cena show. La primera cosa que noté fue una sensación de déjà vu como entré en la puerta. Sí, ha sido abierto sólo un corto período de tiempo y sí, era francesa antes, lo que era la anterior encarnación que he visitado. El segundo era el servicio amable. Como me senté recibí un texto de mi hija me decía que ella era atrasados. Mencioné esto y se disculpó y me trajeron un plato de galletas saladas que me voy. Ella finalmente presentamos y me explicó que estaban a un concierto y mantienen la comida circule. Sí, puede. Tuve el pescado tailandés tartas y mi hija los langostinos para empezar. Compartimos y así que puedo confirmar que ambos son excelentes. Nuestros platos principales estaban igualmente agradable. Vino a un precio razonable para Londres, de hecho todo tipo de comida a un precio razonable para Londres. Comida, precio y amable, significa un servicio puntual volveremos para conciertos futuros.

Visitamos hoy y comimos en los especiales de almuerzo. Tuve tomate muy rico de sopa de pollo, que era fragantes, picante y deliciosa. Mi otro acompañante tenía un curry tailandés, lo que era muy bueno. Los crakers acompañantes estaban bien, pero la primavera panecillos un grasienta (único comentario negativo de poco). Por £5,90 - excelente. La decoración es por supuesto moderno (bien es Islington) pero el servicio era amable y rápido ( ¡en Islington); nos tomamos un vaso de agua del grifo cada una, que venía con hielo (sin duda apreciamos). Dejamos el sushi en el frente nevera - que parecía excelente y de nuevo un buen precio. Parece que un servicio de entrega.

Awesome experience, you can compose your meal with a lot of different Asian food, the dishes are very good, fresh legumes and fishes. Everything for a very affordable price! <br />Very good atmosphere in this restaurant, I recommend it for a great time with your friends or your partner!

We were going to a concert and came here for a pre show meal. The first thing I noticed was a sense of deja vu as I walked in the door. Yes it has been open only a short time and yes it was French before which was the previous incarnation I visited. The second was the friendly service. As I sat down I received a text from daughter telling me she was running late. I mentioned this and apologised and they brought me a bowl of crackers to keep me going. She finally turned up and I explained we were off to a concert and so could they keep the food flowing. Yes they could. I had the Thai fish cakes and daughter had the prawns for starters. We shared and so I can confirm that both are excellent. Our mains were equally enjoyable. Wine was reasonably priced for London, in fact the whole meal was reasonably priced for London. Food, price and friendly, timely service means we shall return for future concerts.

Mi compañero hemos ido a este restaurante por lo menos cuatro veces ya y todavía no te decepcionará.

This is a great place. <br /><br />Super food, professional service and amazing price! So pleased to find it (quite hidden but easy if you look on the high street).<br /><br />My group were all very happy with the choice.<br /><br />Close to Angel and Highbury corner but easy to get to from Hackney &amp; Holloway too.<br /><br />Thanks! Back soon. I hope you are very successful.

Comimos aquí la noche pasada y tuvimos una noche fantástica.

Sushi vio en la ventana, tomó la inmersión. Sin embargo, cuando fui me di cuenta que era "pan la comida tailandesa y china residencia de estilo asiático. Eso es el tipo de lugar que suele evitar ya que la probabilidad de que el sushi es bueno es cuestionable: puede decir que el sushi y sashimi eran deliciosos y v sashimi fresco en particular. ¡Volveré!

The menu is extensive and the food all delicious. My new favourite restaurant!

Went there on sat afternoon . Food was pretty fresh and tasty . Did not try sushi but was told by staff that it's very good . Will go back to try it another time when I am in Islington .

Mi esposa y yo tuvimos una cena maravillosa en Abakh Hoja pasado fin de semana. Estábamos a lo largo de Upper Street buscando un lugar informal para comer y cayó en Abakh Hoja. Estaba casi lleno, pero vimos una mesa para dos y estaban encantados de ofrecerte inmediatamente.

It is with deep regret that I now have to write another review and revert from my original review &amp; opinions written on Facebook on this little restaurant that I once had a high praise for on my very first visit to them when using my Tastecard. Sadly, I need to expose the REAL TRUTH about this restaurant and the quality of their food that my group &amp; I had to consume on which was our only second visit and sadly will most definitely be my groups last visit. To which I needs to make the public aware of what they will endure if using their Tastecard. To put it simply into a metaphor. The first time, Hoja done my stomach good. The second time, Hoja upset my stomach so bad. What the above statement is simply trying to highlight is that their quality of food on the first visit was of a good and positive experience. However, on our second let's say it was subpar and that of a limp noodle!We were wanting to try their Teriyaki Burger meals. However within the space of just two weeks it was then taken off their menu. Which is something my group found very strange. What I mean is what is so hard to have any fresh buns to put the meat in??? As also for a newly open restaurant to make changes such as that is a little too sudden. Considering that on Facebook they are emphasising quite a bit on this speciality meal that they'd once did. When it came to our Light Bites. Some of these were very dull. To which I shall elaborate. On my groups first visit we sampled Hoja's 'Salt &amp; Pepper Squid', which was sublime on our first visit to them. On our second visit, Hoja's 'Salt &amp; Pepper Chicken' was not warm enough and lack the distinctive depth and impact of what I should know 'Salt &amp; Pepper' deep fried to be. My group and I were debating if it were a different chef on that evening? As it was abundantly clear they don't seem to know the art of flavour &amp; depth of Pan-Asian food. Especially when it comes to 'Salt &amp; Pepper' deep fried. Their Stir-Fry Ginger &amp; Broccoli. Where do I begin on this dish!? It was so bland it simply had no flavour/taste whatsoever. The broccoli looked as if it had overstayed it's welcome and presented itself as if it came out of a hot sauna. Simply overcooked! The ginger was not present in the whole dish whatsoever. It's as if the ginger was terrified by the ugly sight of the broccoli it decided to run away off the plate. Thus putting out 'Have you tasted any Ginger' posters on its whereabouts on my taste buds.As for my dish that I'd ordered this was the Prawn 'pepper &amp; garlicthai style garlic &amp; ground mixed in pepper sauce'. I guess the prawns were so scared of where they were going to end up in a wok that the prawns were not stir fried at all, no wok style grill taste to them. I mean, once again the flavours that are listed were nowhere to be tasted. It was very bland and the sauce was more like stock. I'm confident enough to say that the free soup they give out at a 'Street Soup' would have tasted superiorly better!Hoja's 'Teriyaki Duck' didn't make one of my friends go "quack, quack!" with delight, more like "Goo, Goo!" The sauce was lumpy and once again lack depth. The duck wasn't of a good quality either. Their 'Egg Fried Rice' was very sticky and not fresh. As if the rice used for us has been sitting there for a few amount of hours. What my group &amp; I had identified was that if people are going to use their Tastecard. Be wary of portion sizes. For example on my groups first visit it was just enough generous. On the second visit, like 'Lionel Richie' sang "hello is there any food there??" It's was ridiculously shy to be shared among a group of 3 people. I mean Hoja, not to sound gluttonous here. Are you being deliberately stingy with the food?The only positive I have to say about the venue is that they have one of the most beautiful women members of waiting staff there is. I mean as if she is a star of somewhat. So Ho-ja gonna call when your food lacks flavour of Pan-Asian then? Not Gok-Won, that's for sure. I guess some of your chefs need to truly master the art of Pan-Asian food. As there will aplenty of other future customers who will be Hojally disappointed. So start panning up or you'll soon be wok out of business!!

We ordered some starters , steam fish, noodles and Sushi. The food quality and presentation are impressive. We thoroughly enjoy the meal and will def come back to try out other food on the menu!

The menu is extensive and very good value. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Staff were efficient, friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back.

We went for dinner for 4. Great food, good value and friendly staff. We will go back again.

food is very good, fresh and tasty . nice service as well

The starters were great, but our mains were unfortunately lukewarm and without much flavour. Coffee however was served absolutely boiling hot and had to sit in the cup for 10 minutes before it could be touched.. Service was ok.

We had booked a table here and when we turned up today t was closed. A sign on the door said apologies closure due to kitchen problems... I didn't even receive a phone call to tell me my reservation would not be honoured. I travelled over an hour from Heathrow to get here and it was closed. I cannot understand how they didn't even have the decency to contact me... I gave my number when booking surely they request it for situations such as this. Sooo disappointing.

Really enjoyed some great food on valentines day! We had the spring rolls, dumplings, plus some sashimi and chow mein. Service was attentive enough, given it's a small restaurant. We waited a while for some food, especially when our satay was misunderstood as katsu. All rectified quickly. Great value for money, lovely team

Yes this brand new restaurant was a pleasant surprise in the middle of busy Upper Street strip. The dining area is small but well-designed with careful lighting. Polite, quick service. The food was fresh and tasty. Will come back to try the sushi next time.

Took my boyfriend for his birthday. A small place amongst tonnes of restaurants, I chose this mainly due to the taste card offer (he's a lucky guy) plus we had wanted to try a sushi restaurant and this had good reviews. We were fairly early so it wasn't crowded but the food wasn't out too early and we weren't harassed or ignored. Dodgy music sadly but couldn't fault the sushi.
