Koto II in City of London, Westminster

Desde que me alojé en un hotel, esta fue la solución más lógica, y no me arrepiento. Buen servicio, buena comida, todo bien.

2 miso e una tempura udon 45 sterline.... andate a zappare l'orto... il tonno che girava era giallo...roba da epatite C

Incluso 1 estrella es demasiado. Solo había 3 personas en el restaurante (yo y mi compañero, y otro tipo en la otra mesa). Mi compañero pidió un teryaki, no había arroz solo la carne. demasiado caro para eso. Pedí una caja bento (primera vez). Estaba bien, pero también demasiado caro para el arroz y el pollo. Pero después de la comida vino una camarera (muy antipática). Había comido algo que no había pedido (era para la otra mesa (lo siento, pero ¿cómo puede una camarera mezclar pedidos entre 2 pedidos?). No sabía que ella me estaba acusando de una manera muy poco amistosa. Acepté pagar Es amigable como soy (habría pagado de todos modos porque soy un tipo honesto, por eso le doy una crítica honesta). Evita este restaurante

Mi esposa y yo visitamos aquí mientras hacíamos turismo. Llegamos tarde para el almuerzo, eran alrededor de las 3 de la tarde, y el restaurante estaba vacío. Nos sentamos junto al transportador y procedimos a recoger nuestros platos a medida que pasaban. La comida era buena, no es el peor sushi que hemos tenido, pero no fue el mejor. La joven dama rumana que nos servía era fantástica y no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros, y se aseguró de que tuviéramos suficientes bebidas, y explicamos en más de una ocasión que podíamos pedir del menú de sashimi si queríamos, pero como solo estábamos merendando declinado Como resumen, la comida en la cinta transportadora estaba bien, me imagino que los platos de Sashimi recién cocinados serían mejores, el servicio fue excelente y el precio era bastante bueno considerando la ubicación de los restaurantes. Volvería de nuevo.

Quedarse en la zona y dejar a cenar. Variedades limitadas en el barco y nada en el menú. El sushi que tenían era toda la premisa y la temperatura de la habitación en el transportador. Estoy de acuerdo con otras críticas no fresco en absoluto? Camarera y miso era agradable, pero no volvería. Espero no sentir los efectos del sushi a temperatura ambiente.

Was staying at the hotel and after a long day was too tired to venture out for a meal. And wanted something light. It was late, so I was told the sushi belt selection would be limited. Well if they call what came out as limited I can't imagine what the normal selection is. Fresh, tasty. Amazing value. One of best miso soups ever. Will definitely check out the rest of an interesting menu. Well done! And thank you to the lovely hostess.

My wife bought groupon and we had sushi buffet here last night. Restaurant is almost empty and waiters is polite and attentive. There is no atmosphere and despite being in a nice hotel it looks more like a canteen more than a restaurant. Our meal is cheap and on top of 30£ Groupon we paid £7.50 on top and we just paid £10 cash Inc tips. So for around £18 per person we got green tea, miso soup and unlimited cheap sushi. Out of the 1 hour we were there we have seen 2 plates of salmon sushi (thin slice on top of rice). No other sliced fish or sea food. All night there are small rolls with tuna To be honest we could have more sushi and better quality ones if we went to Wasabi or even the more expensive itsu for £18. I did see a fly in one of the plate on the belt, it was a tiny 2mm ones which we did not make a fuss out of it, we were too hot to be bothered. Shame we cannot give zero star , hope if you are reading this choose your Groupon elsewhere

Visited as part of the Groupon deal for a friends birthday. Pros: - Visited as part of a groupon deal so it was £15 each for unlimited sushi - Nice clean bathrooms - Surroundings, inside a hotel so quite extravagant - Staff were helpful and nice enough Cons: - Limited Choice: 5 types of Nigiri (prawn, octopus, squid, tuna and salmon) 5 Uramaki (rice on the outside) and a few Hosomaki (the small rolls with seaweed on the outside and usually a single piece of meat/vegetable in it) This very quickly got boring and it became a struggle to rack up even £15 worth of sushi - The Nigiri meat slices were sliced a lot thinner than other sushi joints I have visited, so the proportions and enjoyability of the Nigiri itself dropped a lot. - Atmosphere was very much dead inside, although it was a rainy weekday, there was no warmth, the music was very quiet and it just felt uncomfortable. - They charged around £7 for a cheesecake and piping happy birthday on the plate, we decided to pass this but a lot of places do offer birthday treats for free, and not to disrespect anyone but the labour put into a cheesecake isn't a lot. We went elsewhere for dessert. Simply don't think the restaurant offered me enough value for money, would not return.

This restaurant is located within the Grange City Hotel, a couple of minutes from Tower Hill Station. We had a Groupon £29.00 for two deal which gives you an hour and a half time slot to 'eat as much as you like' from a selection of small plates on a rotating conveyor belt. The sushi was average and the conveyor belt, although well stocked, offered very little variety. It looked and tasted a lot like the food from fast food chain Wasabi however not as fresh. A £29.00 meal for two would typically be great value; we felt this particular 'deal' was over priced. We also paid an additional £18.00 for two small glasses of warm, white wine. Not a place to go if you love sushi and don't want to feel rushed. The restaurant itself was nice, fairly cosy and looked clean.

Some of the reviews relating to this resturant/groupon deal are nonsense. the restaurant is within a fine hotel at Tower Hill. The restaurant itself is cosy, has pleasant decor,staff are friendly and very helpful. There is a chef present by the sushi conveyor belt, making fresh sushi as quick as he can. There is variety. There is salmon, tuna, vegetarian,beef etc. If you want more salmon the chef is very gracious and does some more for you and puts it on the belt near you so you can pick it up before someone else does. He will do this for anyone. You can eat as much as you like. Is it a Michelin starred restaurant. No it isnt, but you can have a drink and stuff yourself if you want for 13 quid. No time limit. No one rushes you. Its a bit like paying for Ryanair and expecting Emirates first class if you read some of these reviews. Its fresh, its chilled, its friendly, there are no insects, it hasnt been sitting there for hours. You can barely get Nando's for £13. It is worth trying

When I called the restaurant to make a reservation, the lady on the phone was very unfriendly. I arrived at the restaurant and was shocked to see nobody dining there and it quickly became obvious why... The food was very disappointing. There was NO variety, all the dishes looked and tasted the same. The sushi seemed to not be fresh at all and there was so much rice in the sushi I couldn’t even taste the fish! It seemed like they used more rice to make the dishes look bigger and to fill us up faster! We ended up only eating the fish and leaving the rice! I was drawn to this restaurant on Groupon it looked impressive online. I will never dine here again. Unbelievable!

유럽의 일식당에 대해 너무 기대치가 높지 않다면 그럭저럭 먹을만함. 정체불명의 편의점 스시 같은 간편식이 가격도 안 싼데 비해 제대로 차려내는 집이라서 차라리 이 곳을 추천하고 싶음. 생선종류도 제한되어 있지만 미소시루가 나오니까 아쉬운대로 괜찮음

The best bit of this meal was the waitress - a Roumanian girl who looked after us really well. We didn't have sushi because my wife didn't want to eat raw food - so we ate off the menu and she was pretty happy with the fare - it was her first Japanese. A reasonable bottle of Sancerre - not too expensive rounded off a pleasant evening. It was not very busy for a Friday night so lacked a bit of atmosphere.

Where do I start? First of all we got a groupon voucher for this all you can eat sushi. I come up to the restaurant and show the voucher on my phone. They say “we need it printed, you can print at the hotel reception”. So off I go to get it printed while my wife sits down. Reception are useless and I am 15 minutes trying to print this voucher off! So get into the restaurant after they finally accept the voucher. And they only have two different type of sushi going around the conveyor belt! We asked about more types of sushi and they shrugged their shoulders. We lasted 15 minutes and then left. Trying to get my money back from this shocker of a sushi restaurant! If I could give zero stars I would!

We visited the restaurant today in 5* Grange City Hotel near Tower of London. Our impression was very good, the waitress was very kind, friendly and polite (from Hungary-Romania) and the hungarian chef Adam was amazing, friendly and direct. He did everything to make for our overall satisfaction. Köszönjük az extrát Ádám! ;) We used the Groupon voucher, but we were really satisfied, we didn`t feel different (bad) service.

Fuimos a las 5:00 p.m. porque compramos un groupon y estás sólo permitía asistir después de esa hora. Por supuesto, el sushi no era fresca. Algunos de ellos incluso pasada. Pero lo peor y la razón por la cual estoy escribiendo esta crítica es porque había una mosca dentro el sushi de atún. Una enorme mosca volando bajo la iluminación interior. Este ha sido sin duda la peor experiencia de sushi en mi vida. Tan triste porque incluso cuando era un groupon, nos cuesta 30 libras.

Probamos la oferta Grange sushi después de ver que en Groupon. Parecía una buena relación calidad-precio y por la cantidad de el sushi que comimos fue una buena oferta tenía todo estado fresco. Algunos habían sido en el cinturón un rato me imagino quizás desde el almuerzo? Otras piezas hechas en frente de nosotros y eran muy buenos.

Visité el restaurante KOTO II ayer y me quedo Enormemente decepcionado.

Después de leer todas las críticas antes de ir, no tienen altas expectativas. Sin embargo, quería darles el beneficio de la duda y ver por mí mismo.

Las expectativas eran altas pero muy decepcionante. Hay varias ofertas de sushi en la noche o puedes ir a la carta. El sushi en el "tren" evidentemente ha estado sentado allí desde el almuerzo. Era cálido y casi incomible como el pescado, salsas y arroz había comenzado a sudar.

Como era viernes y el sol brillaba decidimos sentarnos en el patio comer en Koto II. Nos sirvieron las bebidas y luego fuimos por dentro para recoger nuestro entrantes desde el transportador gama sushi al estilo de la correa. Tuvimos una gran variedad de frijoles edamame, dim sum y un par de otros platos para compartir. Todos eran deliciosos dim sum y en particular la salsa que lo acompaña. Después pedimos dos platos de verduras, dos porciones de arroz langostinos tempura y dos tazones de langostinos. De nuevo, todo estaba muy sabroso y aparte de dos mucho arroz, los cinco de nosotros comimos todo. Nos sentamos en el sol para un buen par de horas y nunca fueron presionados o de salir. El servicio era un poco lento, pero no nos importaba porque la tarde era preciosa.

We have lunch here fairly regularly as it's very close to the office.Very similar set up to yo sushi except they have some comfy chairs at the bar as well.Service ok, could be friendlier, food is always nice.Place is fairly quiet as it's at the back of the hotel and not sure if many people know it's even there.

Gyoza was greasy. Ramen soup was way overcooked noodle and awful broth. It would have been better to have instant noodle. Didn't have sushi.

I had a dinner (Sushi) in Koto II and was really disappointed. Although the staff are very friendly but;Food quality is poor and doesn't look fresh at all.Sushi variety is limited, don't think they have more than 6-8 different kind of sushi.If you chose the Sushi offer then price is reasonable, but anything else from the menu is really expensive. Though Not sure about the quality if the menu food.

I am sorry but the U.K. does not know how to do Japanese food. This was horrible. Salmon and Tuna sliced the wrong way and not fresh. Miso had 2 tiny cubes of tofu. Not a fan. Pork dry and over-fried. Service was great however.

Today I was lucky enough to meet Petya for lunch and be treated to Koto II Japanese food. We started with the sushi/sashimi from the moving dishes and we picked out four and shared with our other friend Nikki. We then had, on Petya's expert advice, the sizzling spicy prawns. These were delicious and quite spicy although I hadn't realised there would be so many peppers in it, which I cannot stomach at all. Despite that, the meal with a rice to share was really delicious, washed down with a couple of glasses of Prosecco and water.The service was good, the food was very good and the company was excellent.Highly recommendedFoxyfox10

Con los elevados precios en la city, este restaurante es un lugar que no está mal. Por 21 libras tienen un menú con sopa miso, un plato caliente como pollo teriyaki o dumpling de verduras y makis ilimitado. No entra la bebida. Tranquilo y sencillo tipo kaitensushi pero también te atienden camareros.

All sushi faves whirl around next to you and service was poor. Little wine options and had to badger waitress to even get a glass.

Nice place to have your meals with good variety. Ambience is also good with great service on offer. Recommended

Repas très bon, typique mais malheureusement un peu cher...De plus ne déroge pas à l'heure de fermeture... L'heure c'est l'heure...

Really enjoyed the food. The waiting staff were friendly if not that efficient and seemed a little confused at times. I am not sure whether they were training new staff at the time. Our waitress was Eastern European and had limited English.Food was well presented and tasty - we didn't use the sushi but went for a more traditional Japanese lunch. Pricing was average for London.

My friend and I decided to have a weekday lunch here having been dissuaded from eating closer to the river by the hordes of tourists heading for the Tower of London!The restaurant was very quiet which suited us fine for conversation purposes and as a result the service was swift and efficient.We both chose paninis which were tasty and filling, the roasted vegetable one was £7.95 and the ham and brie £8.50, reasonable considering the location.I seem to recall that this bar and restaurant are part of the adjacent hotel which might explain the incredibly long walk to the toilets!All in all a very pleasant lunch and the restaurant fitted our purpose perfectly!

Der Nudelteller wurde frisch gemacht, es dauerte etwas aber wir sahen den Koch arbeiten, was kam war frisch und nicht Conveniancefood! Die Sushi ok. Also würde wieder einmal dahin gehen. Service freundlich!

I really love sushi, and was staying in Towerhill for business.This is the only sushi restaurant near by... so I went to eat.I should have seen the warning signs when there were absolutely no people, and the sushi looked quite unfresh.Still I sat down and regretted not turning back after my first dish.I had gone for a buffet - so couldn't even leave the restaurant.I had a go and had 6 dishes.. but I wouldn't eat there even if it was free.PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST.

Very lovely staff. Very mediocre food. As it trundled past me on the belt it was difficult to find something that looked appetising or fresh.Cheap enough, but I felt it was substandard. I wouldn't bother again. Try Yo or Wagamama.

After an afternoon of walking round the tower of London We had a hankering for sushi. we set Google maps to find a sushi bar and happened to stumble across this restaurant. initially the massive appeal was the all you can eat option. .. However on arrival at 3pm we quickly realised that this option is only available after 5pm. my partner was gutted he has a large appetite! However a few sushi plates, miso soup and a couple of sides later we were happily stuffed. The food was lovely it tasted fresh and any additional items that we ordered arrived swiftly and piping hot. As with other reviews it was very quiet for a Friday afternoon, in fact we were the only 2 people in there! But that was fine with us we had a great time and really enjoyed the food and a couple of beers. i hope this place is busier when the all you can eat option starts, because it's a great little place, lovely venue and i think could have a fab atmosphere on a busy Friday night.

My boyfriend and I came here as we were staying with the adjoining hotel and the sushi is probably the worst I have ever had. It is a lot worse than chain sushi restaurants. The food was clearly not fresh and had been sitting there all day. The salmon was chewy, the rice hard, and the fresh greens brown around the edges. The ginger had been sitting in a pot for an indeterminable amount of time and had gone an interesting shade of yellow with brown around the edges. And there was an interesting plastic-meets-fish-enclosed-in-a-hot-plastic-box-for-a-long-day-smell emanating as soon as you removed the cover. At least in restaurants like yo sushi there is a sell by date stamped on the boxes which means they don't sit around for too long. I don't think they are too worried about gone over food here. There was barely anyone in the restaurant, which should have been a warning, but haven not eaten since the morning we were not feeling very picky. Big mistake. The adjoining hotel Grange City is 5 star and so we would have hoped for something better. But given that the hotel also does not live up to its 5 star rating, it seems to make sense. Thoroughly disappointed and left a pretty horrible taste...

Thought we would try this. Had a bento salmon box, not authentic Japanese. Skin still attached to salmon and sauce oily.salad was also very poor and bland. Sushi was ok but won't be visiting again. Sushi hiroba which is near by is far better!

Stayed at the Grange and wanted to try the Japanese. Service was ok - well could not have been otherwise we were just 4 of us in the restaurant...I took the sushi buffet with the miso soup & chicken. The buffet was not that great to be frank. Very little Sashimi or nigiri and loads of veggie maki. Given the limited number in the restau - the chef was not even bothered to replenish the belt..From a value for money - I guess this is ok for London.

Honestly, all-you-can-eat sushi, plus a miso soup and a hot dish for 21 £ just in front of the Tower of London? Amazingly affordable, I would say.We were at the Grange city Hotel for a weekend, me and my fiancee and we had this Japanese restaurant in our Hotel, we decided to give it a try and we were amazingly surprised. All the sushi we could eat, a good miso soup bowl and some . Everything was excellent and fresh. We were really satisfied and really surprised that the place was practically empty, given the incredibly low price for the offering. To complete the thing, the waiter was also really kind and courteous.Give it a shot and you would be not dissatisfied.

I had lunch here and thought my sashimi selection was pretty good, albeit maybe a little pricy compared to other restaurants nearby. My waitress was very friendly and helpful. Only interesting thing was that I was the ONLY person in the entire place, at the heart of lunch hour. How in the world is that possible??

This restaurant is part of Grange City Tower hotel and it has a little know Japanese restaurant down stairs called Koto II.It's right next to a part of the London Wall which looks fantastic lit up at night, very romantic.The most amazing thing is that this place has sushi buffet for GBP22.00 per person (including a miso soup and a side order normally massive portion of teriyaki chicken).It is much better value for money than Yo! Sushi, bigger portions too not that it matters, it is a buffet after all.There is fresh tuna, salmon, veg sushi, california rolls, cuttel fish, several kinds of nigiri, eel, sweet egg, fresh fruit etc etc. A very good selection.The sushi is prepared at the hotel, it may not be the best rolled/made sushi, but it tastes great and there is lots of it! :o) The ingredients always look and taste fresh. In all the times hubby and I have been there we have never had a bad piece of fish.Drinks are a little bit pricey and the service is hit and miss. Sometimes really good and fast, othertimes woefully slow. However, it is help yourself when it comes to the sushi as it goes past your table on one of them conveyor belt things.Hubby and I have been there several times and the sushi is consistently good, we've never eaten off the al la carte menu, but it looks good.I really, really don't know why this hotel's sushi deal is not more well known about. The hotel really needs to advertise more, every time we've been there it has been dead quiet with only one waiter/waitress! Although it is romantic at night.I found out about their sushi offer by pure chance through work. If someone who represents the hotel is reading this; you have to get some kind of advertising going!If they advertised a bit more I am sure it would be busier.It is right next door to Fenchurch Street station (I could faintly here the train announcements) and also hop away from Tower Hill underground and Tower Gateway DLR.This place needs some more customers! Give it a try!******* Sushi offer is from Mon - Fri after 12h00... I think
