Koto Restaurant in Camden

El sushi era soso. No hay pollo disponible, así que opté por el ramen de cerdo. El cerdo estaba duro, el caldo no tenía sabor. Caro

Un buen lugar con sushi recién hecho a pedido, claramente el chef lo sabe. El camarón tempura increíble. Todos los platos que probamos donde bueno. Relación calidad precio muy buena

Vino blanco no frio. Preguntó si tenían algo de frío. Pero acababan de tener vino entregado así que ninguno frío. No tomamos nuestro vino, pero seguimos cargando. Comida poco inspiradora. Tempura era dura, parecía vieja. Edamame ordenado, ninguno vino. Probablemente para lo mejor. El descanso era tibio. ¡Como el vino! Fuimos aquí hace unos años y tenía buena comida. Vale la pena desviarse hoy en día.

Al leer las reseñas sobre Koto, podrías pensar que este es el peor restaurante japonés en la Tierra. Mi esposa y yo terminamos allí por casualidad y, en cambio, quedamos gratamente impresionados: un ambiente limpio y aireado, una amplia variedad en el menú y buena comida: tuvimos una comida completa y todo estaba delicioso, desde el arroz hasta el pescado. los vegetales. Tal vez hemos tenido suerte? mah . . El servicio fue amable, y el precio bajo. Para mí, un buen lugar.

The sushi is horrible. Rice old I have doubts about the fish...ultra expensive. There are much better places in London. Avoid yourself a bad experience!

We just had a horribel experience at our hotel sushi restaurant. Horribel tasting sushi, the worst nodles i have ever tasted. We are scared of beeing sick!

I stepped into this place without really checking up front and expected a somewhat higher bill but then also no fast food style sushi bar. Hmmm... Service was very fast and friendly but the quality of the food was mediocre. The taste of the dim sum starter was OK but you could feel that they were not coming directly from the steaming basket. They had been on the plate for a while as the outside was already drying. Miso soup was good. The chicken teriyaki bento was similar. The rice was not really warm and already starting to dry. The chicken teriyaki was OK. The wasabi, for the 4 pieces of sashimi, was served without soy sauce. The sashimi was OK. Overall I was a bit disappointed and will not do back.

Another good meal here. Nice food and good service. Nice wine list. Pleasant atmosphere. I would recommend and visit again.

The food having Good presentation this is all good about it. We order three ramen and the noodles was so salty and sweet impossible to eat more then three spoons even I speak whit the chef and the noodles was from quick packet for the price we paid we hope something better. Really but experience. Not recommended.

We'd been to an art exhibition (blimey!) and fancied dinner. The car was miraculously parked and my partner spotted Koto. Result, we thought, as we both like Japanese cuisine. The restaurant is part of (and entered through on this night) The Grange Holborn Hotel, My view of restaurants in hotels was sadly verified. First, it had all the atmosphere of The Moon. None. There were two other tables occupied, otherwise, it was as equally deserted. The waitress was very friendly and doing her best, but somehow it felt slightly 'amateur'. The sake was OK - not great - but not bad. The Miso Soup was pretty average (compare it to anywhere in Soho & you'll taste the difference at once) but it was the main Bento Box that was the let-down. I ordered Beef Teriyaki. Oh-oh. The beef was tough. I mean really chewy while the rice was seriously stodgy. If I'm facing a bill of £72+ I expect the meat to be tender and up to London standards. Sorry, but I do.

I had dinner here during my first night in my London trip since it was close to the hotel and was still open. I felt lucky since I could enjoy my dinner. I had a japanese menu or obento that consisted of miso soup, vegetables salad, grilled eel with kabayaki sauce and rice, some salmon and tuna sashimi and a fruit salad. The kabayaki eel was not the best I've ever had, but overall I can't complain about the menu. The products were fresh and well done. Can't complain about the price neither. Staff was professional and nice. I do recommend this place.

Fast service, the waitress was very friendly, food was really good and it was served fast. I really can recommend it!

Visited restaurant chicken Terayki bento. Very nicely presented that is where the experience ended. I was asked twice by two waitresses if everything was ok. I said no to both. They were not interested. The chicken was inedible not hot and oversalted. Despite this I was charged standard service charge. There are plenty of much better local restaurants I would definitely avoid.

Reviews are right. Don't mean to be harsh but it needs to improve it's sushi freshness and quality. Not recommended..

I have traveled around Africa and a lot of Europe and ate in some real bad places. But none of them have been as bad as this restaurant, I mean I felt bad putting this but I was so disappointed and felt robbed. The waitress was lovely and she was very professional in her way and very attentive. But please don't waste your time or money on this place, it really gives Japanese food a bad name. It should not be allowed to represent Japan in such a bad way. The one circle which I pressed was purely for the waitress and that is it. TripAdvisor should allow negative circles just based on this joke Japanese restaurant.

Serves us right for not checking reviews before going in. The place was dead. We were there for over an hour and nobody came in, shows it’s reputation...

Vine aquí con un bono de groupon basado en la imagen de la publicidad de la oferta. Mi hermana y yo hicimos nuestra nieta que estaba en Londres en vacaciones.

I had a fantastic meal - clam and spicy mayo hand roll, salmon sashimi and a soft shell crab and advocado California roll, washed down with an Asahi beer. Service was quick and friendly/

Tuvimos un almuerzo rápido aquí con un cliente la semana pasada y fue muy insuficiente.

This restaurant in the Grange Holborn Hotel is a good choice for sushi and other asian seafood dishes........located two blocks from Holborn tube station.......short walk from British Museum

Mal servicio, distraído. Nuestro bento box fue principalmente frutas por alguna razón. No sé por qué estaba pagando por lo que parecía una caja de almuerzo. Realmente no quiere volver.

Tengo la impresión de que esta es una versión mucho anglicised de cocina japonesa. Probé el sushi no fue totalmente exitosa y aguacate cangrejo era un poco seco y tenía un extraño regusto como anguila ahumada. El wasabi fresco no era el ardiente que he...

Este es un lugar donde el viajero solitario será cuidado y donde el servicio y la cocina puede ser dependía. Habiendo decidido que las comidas de menú y lugar que vuelva una y otra vez el pollo al curry - siempre katzue disfrutando de la sopa miso antes el curry con pescado como un acompañamiento. El café es también un excelente ajways aquí

Ristorante giapponese. Cameriere dell'Est Europa scarsamente orientate. Cena così così (ma ottimi gli udon!). Non credo ci tornerrei. Credo si possa trovare di meglio!

I am sorry but the U.K. does not know how to do Japanese food and this is a testament to just that . This was horrible. Salmon and Tuna sliced the wrong way and not fresh. pork was dry and over fried and too thickly sliced.

Ресторан находится на углу Holborn И Southampton . Большие окна с обеих сторон улиц - и вечером здесь очень красиво - когда проезжают автобусы.полное ощущение и погружение в Лондон. Еда хорошая - японская кухня. Обслуживание очень приветливое. Но надо сказать, что в пятницу ресторан пустоват.

Food was terrible, service even worse. Rather walk somewhere and try to find another place to eat. Heating was on full blast throughout restaurant and also throughout hotel (this restaurant is actually located inside The Grange Holborn Hotel.

The restaurant offered a great choice of food for dinner. We enjoyed it very much! It was delicious, the service was wonderful!

I am sahimi fan so I had just this either as appetizer or main course - both fine. But the menu comprises quite a lot of options. The service is fine. The place closes at 9pm, which is a sort of a pity for latecomers. The hotel bar aside, however, works until late .

Called in here on a recent Sunday night without booking. We had the ebi-fry (tempura king prawns) to start which were huge and cooked beautifully. For mains we had pork katsu bento and chicken kastu curry bento, both were very good and included some sashimi, salad , and Japanese pickles. The staff were friendly and the food came quickly. All in all a good experience.

It's sad that such a nice looking restaurant has such poor Sushi. You really don't want to bother. It's attached to the Grange Hotel which explains it

The food really isn't very good here. We had sushi. Prawn tempura was ok but the crayfish sushi was really really dry and not tasty and the dragon roll sushi is crab and avocado with salmon which tastes like its been smoked on top. The flavours do not sit well together. Really would not recommend.

We went past this place earlier in the day, and thought it looked nice. When we came in the evening, we had another experience. The poor waitress could hardly understand or speak english, but did her best. The food was another thing. Tiny, frayed pieces of fish on the nigiri sushi, unevenly cut rolls. Teriyaki salmon overcooked and dry, greyish tuna sashimi cut the wrong way so it becomes chewy. I had a tuna and rice bowl, and the tuna pieces were small, end pieces of fish. All in all, among the worst sushi we ever had. It's better at Yo! Don't bother to come here, it's an awful waste of money and time!

We were at the Grange Hotel which is right on top of this wonderful restaurant. The sushi is great. We got there very late and were closing, but they were so kind as to let us eat the same! Great food, great atmosphere and wonderful people

The restaurant was not busy at all, literally only me and my fiancee, that did not bother us in fact it was probably better so the waitress will focus on us when needed.We ordered the duck bento box, gyoza and the oyakodon (chicken egg rice bowl) also tuna nigri. The gyoza texture was light and crispy, oyakodon was OK nothing too fancy just chicken egg rice bowl with some garnish of spring onions and seaweed..the only let down was the duck as it was very tough and dry and felt that it was not as fresh only to be covered up with the sauce to rectify by the chef.Overall the service was good and food was average

I came here for lunch today with a client. Everything was fine without being outstanding. Staff were efficient, nigiri and sashimi fine. Dumplings I ordered weren't hot so a little disappointing. Price was ok for the centre of London. Would I go again - yes because it was ok.

This used to be a wonderful restaurant with a friendly staff and awesome food. We had around different items this last time and all were awful, even standards like Miso soup etc. Neither of the two cooks and one waitress were friendly. We were in for dinner and the place was empty. We had just arrived and not said a thing, so it obviously was not the time we arrived, or anything we said, or because they were slamming busy.

Hyggelige lokaler, raskt ekspedert og veldig god sushi. Hyggelig, men litt uproff service. Det var generelt en veldig hyggelig sushi middag

After a long day of sightseeing my sister and I opted to have dinner just off the main lobby of our hotel at the Koto Restaurant. They offered an extensive Asian selection. I ordered the chicken Bento Box. I don't like sashimi but the friendly waitress suggested a side of fresh fruit instead, which was greatly appreciated. My sister, who likes sashimi, said it was the best she had ever tasted. Reasonable prices for London and substantial portions.

This restaurant is located in a hotel. I enjoyed great people watching through the big windows facing Southampton Row. Other than the avocado and seaweed salad, the meal was not memorable and while the sake was fine, I was surprised by the limited choice.

If you notice the restaurant is empty, there is a good reason. The service could not have been worse, and we were the only people there!

We visited this restaurant for lunch and was not disappointed. We had different types of sushi and all were fresh and tasty. The avacado maki in particular was so ripe and tasty. My partner had a set meal for £18 which included miso soup, vegetable dumplings, 10 pieces of sushi (chosen by chef but included prawn, salmon, avacado) and some green tea ice cream. The service was efficient and friendly. Would recommend if you enjoy fresh sushi.

Stopped in here after a meeting.Service was friendly but disinterested. I specifically asked if the fish was fresh and was told 'of course it is a sushi restaurant'.Ordered a mix of sushi and sashimi dishes.Out came the worst sushi/sashimi i have ever eaten. Firstly the fish was not fresh.The sashimi looked dried out and were the smallest, meanest pieces possible. The sushi rolls were 90%rice with almost no fish in them.The lobster roll was clearly canned lobster.I complained to the waitress who just looked embarassed and agreed the sushi was poor quality. No effort to reduce the billDo not eat here it frankly terrible

very good place to take an exquisite food. Good service, fast attention, good presentation of the food and the restaurant was also confortable. We dint have to wait to be attended. The variety of the menu was good.

Servizio veloce, scelta discreta (anche per vegani), prezzi nella norma.Ho gustato un'ottima cena a base di sushi, sashimi e udon noodles. Raccomando soprattutto questi ultimi, davvero eccezionali.

Not a bad restaurant just not a good one, decent array of sushi on offer but not always very busy so not much of an atmosphere, considering lack of customers the servers are a bit slow on the up take to order drinks or specials from the menu, I guess because of the conveyer belt they just switch off. Not as good as it was when it first opened but the sushi still passable, albeit at 1 pm the food plates spinning around had clearly been there for a while and there was not much activity from the sushi chef present on the day.... Much better is available now. Nice view of the Roman London Wall though worth a look for all you history buffs.

Looking forward to a Japanese lunch The grilled dumplings were tasteless and soft possibly straight from the freezer The miso soup was also bland the bento curry s were ok but not exceptional The staff all appear eastern european and had no idea what green tea was?

I enjoyed my food here and would have returned. However whatv left a bad taste in my mouth was I ordered a small white wine. When I received my bill it was apparent that the wine was £7.25. For a run-of-the-mill white wine.I don't mind paying a little over-the-odds for wine and had it been a large (250ml) glass I would have been ok. However to charge £7.25 for a small glass of pinot is obscene.I shan't be returning.

I have been here a few times and never had a bad meal. Took my son for the first time and he really enjoyed his mealDumplings greatUdon soup for me and bento curry for himGood service and nice wineWill go again

I am only compelled to write this review because this was literally the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The food was microwaved and totally inedible. I was not offered for the meals to be refunded despite us only having a taste. The staff did not seem to care that the food was terrible and defended the clearly sub par food by saying "all our customers love it this way" Please do not come here, they are stealing your money!

Неплохой японский ресторан в отеле Holborn. Быстрое обслуживание, японское пиво, традиционная еда. Есть столики на улице.

A really nice place, good food and genuine flavours. We were the only gaijin inside, a funny situation. The only drawback in my personal opinion: the samurai statues in combat stance all around you makes you feel unconfortable.

This is one of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to. Food is always first class. Maybe because it's in a hotel it gets overlooked but it's a real treat & not too expensive. There's nowhere like it in the Midlands so we make a point of regularly coming down to London for our Japanese 'fix'! And its great to be able to see the chef preparing your food!

Di fronte alla Victoria House, ho pranzato scegliendo il menù completo a circa 18 sterline.A dire la verità la scelta risulta molto ridotta, ma comunque si è indirizzata su dei ravioli di pesce e verdure fatti alla piastra, buoni, e su una zuppa di verdure gamberi e salmone molto gustosa ed abbondante.Come dessert, non era disponibile il gelato al the verde messo in lista e quindi la macedonia di frutta presa in alternativa era piuttosto anonima.Servizio abbastanza lento, pur non essendoci molti clienti. Da riorganizzare un po'.

I was made a stir fry with japanese noodles, fresh chicken in oyster sauce and sesame oil as I have allergies - it was delicious! Would highly recommend!

Eaten sushi and sashimi in many places across the globe, but this was the worst experience. For the price we paid, we received 3 slivers of fish (not necessarily the freshest by any count), that tasted fishy!The service felt as if they were being generous to us.To top that they expected gratuity!Never ever again.Also authentic Japanese would suggest food prepared by them not Tamils.

I went there with different friends three times and I, as well as my friends, really enjoyed it! We had different things and from what I can recall we liked it a lot. Nice platings and great taste. The only negative thing might have been the lack of personnel. We had to wait a long time to get more drinks.

The service Level is very good at Koto. But the Food is what makes the experience! The Miso Soup was absolutely fantastic (I had to servings), and when it is followed by amazing Sushi you are guaranteed a great meal. Highly recommended!

洋食にあきたらここ。ホテル１Fにあり、本格的などんぶりものや麺類を楽しめます。スタッフに日系の方はおられないようですが、和食のことをよく知っているスタッフばかりで日本人でも安心です。

Service soigné, thé vert offert, mais choix à la carte et trop cher. Sushis et maki saumon très bon. Toilettes après 15milles portes, couloirs et étages mais impeccables : crèmes pour les mains et serviettes chaudes. Attention : service en supplément sur la note finale.

Went here because my partner and I are big Japanese food lovers. The interior looked really nice so we decided to give it a try. Waitress struggled speaking English. Received chicken gyoza before getting drinks. Jasmine tea didn't even have jasmine in it. It was Jasmine FLAVOURED tea.Ordered salmon avocado roll and spicy tuna roll. Both rolls were presented very poorly. They were really cold. So obviously pre-made god knows when and straight from the fridge. Rice was falling apart. Spicy tuna roll was rolled in chilli spices instead of chilli sauce inside. It was horrible and burned all my mouth. Imagine eating a teaspoon of chilli spices. It was disgusting. During the main meal nobody bothered coming and asking if everything is alright (we barely touched sushi) even though there were 2 waitresses and 2 tables only. Dessert came while we still had our mains on the table. We told the waitress about sushi and she called the chef. Despite the fact that he wasn't even Japanese he was actually African with a really strong African accent. He told us that he never got any complaints and that it's how HE makes it. He argued all the time and just went away without an apology. Lost appetite but ate dessert which was actually nice. After the bill came we noticed that they removed only spicy tuna roll. I refused to pay for salmon roll so the waitress asked chef again. He came with a really aggressive stance and started being very rude telling us that we ate the sushi so we have to pay for it. I told him that that's the thing, we didn't, we only tried. So he started saying that if people will come like that and won't pay he will close so we have to pay. After I told him that I work in a restaurant and I know my rights and I refuse to pay he walked away while I was still talking to him.Finally received my bill with removed rolls and could finally get out of this horrible place. Never again.

Das unjapanischste Restaurant das ich je besucht habe. Die Qualität ließ in jeder Hinsicht zu wünschen übrig. Mit japanischer Küche und Service hat das nichts zu tun. Wir mussten lange auf unser Essen warten, nur einer nicht. Der war mit dem Essen seit 40 Minuten fertig als die anderen ihr essen bekommen haben. Das essen war eine reine Enttäuschung.

Takes too much time…bad quality. Very small portions. Es kann doch nicht sein dass man über 1 Stunde auf eine Portion Sushi warten muss

We waited ages even though the restaurant was empty. The waitress couldn't speak English and forgot to put some orders through. We got a 20% discount in the end, but definitely we won't go back again.

Popped in to Koto for a light evening meal as it was near my hotel, and had the veggie set sushi menu. The service was good and the food was nice. Washed down with a Pinot Grigio. No complaints.

I often stay at the Grange Holborn but rarely eat dinner there. I went to Koto with my husband as we were staying and we could not be bothered to go out! Great decision - excellent food and really attentive helpful staff. Nice menu with good wine. Also access to hotel restaurant pudding and cheese plate - fabulous - will go again

I've often driven past this restaurant. Today four of us decided to give it a try. Wish I had never bothered. The service was terrible. Only 3 tables occupied. We waited ages to be asked if we would like a drink. They all came individually, all in all it took 25 mins for all four of us to get our drinks. The waitress could not speak English so struggled to take our order. Again we all received our food separately. I had noodles which were swimming in oil, all slimy. Our plates were cleared as we finished instead of when we were all finished. We had 2 beers, 1 glass of wine and a J2o. Noodles, sushi and a Katsu curry. It came to £101. I'm so not impressed. The food in Yo Shusi is better. Overpriced and below parr. I feel distinctly robbed! Never again. The worst dining experience in a long time.

Went to this restaurant by accident. We think they microwave the hot food. Please don't think this restaurant knows what Japanese food is. Just stay away. You have been warned!

I'm a fan of Japanese food and this restaurant was within the hotel so convenient. Food was not the best but good and a reasonable menu choice ..

The price was a bit high but the food was excellent with good service. I had room service and the starter was crispy salmon, followed by cod and the sweet dish option of brownie with ice cream. The vegetables presented with the meal were a bit cold. For under £ 30 it was ok but some may find it expensive.

Excellent service - efficient and polite. The meal was LOVELY - both delicious and elegant. 5 STAR experience

Food was either swimming in oil or was really dry. I ordered a glass of white wine £9 a glass and it had defiantly been open 3 days if not more, when I asked the staff to change it she was rude and asked me if I knew what it should taste like!!!

I don't usually leave reviews as I don't like to dwell on bad experiences but this time I really feel I must and warn others to not set foot in that horrible place that is more of a tourist trap than a real restaurant. I mean I feel so strongly about it that I shall leave another review in French to warn unsuspecting tourists.Whenever in the area my best friend and I usually go to a small Japanese restaurant in Coptic street where the food is good and the Japanese waitresses nice and friendly, but that day had been a long day and there was no time to walk any further so we just decided that that Koto place would have to do even though the decor was hotel corporate from the 70's and the waitress was not Japanese, nor was the cook (which is usually a bad sign)I ordered some scallop nigiri: and I was presented with 2 meagre pieces with a thin slice of scallop (not even a full one for 2 pieces of nigiri) topped with, just wait for it! Marie Rose sauce, yes the infamous Mary Rose sauce from the 70's! I had to scrape the industrial pink sludge from the nigiri to be able to swallow it Also on the plate was what I took to be the peelings of a carrot (did not taste of much apart from vegetable peeling, and I put in back on the plate) and a 2 cm thick slice of old courgette topped with way too much Wasabi. As I love wasabi and am quite partial to courgette I bit into it just to spit it back on the plate. And I mean it, I actually spat the whole thing back into my hand and back on the plate as the slice of courgette was nasty and at the very least a week old.I tried to go and get my main dish cancelled but was told that it had already been prepared.It was some freshwater eel Donbury with a bowl of miso soup on the side. The soup was disgusting (I added some soya sauce to see if I could make it taste better, but one might as well fire in a well) and the dish itself, well, I'm at a loss for words really...A sweetish omelette (was there really any eel in it?) on top of lumps of clumpy warmish, unsalted rice whose thick texture I could hardly break with my cutlery. I did try to eat some of it, because I had hardly eaten all day, but even as hungry as I was I could not stomach it.I mean, food that bad is beyond belief!!!And then they have the guts to charge you 12.5% for poor service. We removed that charge from the bill, which was still extortionate.So, all in all, if I were to summarize my evening in Holborn it was as follows:Pressed for time, we decide to go to Koto's, the meal was inedible, expensive and the staff couldn't have cared less (I mean I did try to cancel my main dish after I had tasted the starter...)Since my friend and I had hardly eaten we ended up in a nearby Tesco to try and find something to calm our hunger pangs and to top it all, we ended up arguing because of the bad choice we had made. Please spare yourself the aggro and the knowledge that you will be taken for a right mug.

The food was terrible and very expensive. A sashimi dish, seaweed salad and 1 medium roll cost me over £30. Go to yo sushi in the brunswick centre its Alot nicer than koto. Plus the waitress thought all maki rolls were raw. Lol eg. She said theSoft shell crab roll is raw, I ask her to clarify it. Its cooked! Silly woman.

If you are going to open a restaurant just to make money it's best you don't - you are not doing anyone a favour, in fact you may be doing more bad than good. This is perhaps one of the worst Japanese restaurants I've ever been in. The decour inside is not bad, although it looks like a hotel lobby (with elevator music and all) and the service is just passable. The food on the other hand is pretty bad. I wont say it was borderline inedible, but for the ridiculously high prices they charge here you could say it was terrible. The sushi was lazily done, not amazing presentation you usually get from a dragon roll. The fish was passable, it must have been more or less as mediocre as wasabi.The ramen felt like it had come out of instant noodles box, the stock was okay, there was barely any meat and it was overall really poor quality. It would be best if they didn't offer it at all.This place is best avoided, hopefully if enough people know this it will close down and it will rid London of another bad restaurant.

I just ate here 15 mins agoI ordered their 22.50 specialIt included some terrible foodSalmon, Tuna, Whitefish, Eel, Prawn, CrabBoth as nigiri as well as sashimiI went for the Eel and Cucumber & Salmon and Avocado hand rolls Crab was rubber and could not bite through itPrawn smelt of cleaning detergentSalmon tasted of nothing at allTuna was the wrong colour soSeaweed on wraps was firm and uneatableWhen I sent back the plate with more than half the food, the waitress didn't askSo I volunteered the information to her, giving her an account of the issuesThe restaurant had only 5 tables booked, so I though someone would come to see meNobody came, I asked for the billIt was presented to me in fullI asked her why nobody was interested in the feedback about their foodI paid the bill in full removing the 12.5% charge they added for a tip, as I didn't see fit to tip

Can't begin to tell you how poor was, I've eaten in Japanese restaurants across Japan and had sushi near Tsukiji (those in the know will understand my reference). For a start, they do NOT employ sushi chefs — no chef in his right state of mind would serve nigirizushi WITHOUT wasabi. Consequently the nigiri fell to bits upon lifting it with the hash (sticks) - also that fact that you should ‘compress’ the rice to make it hold together.To be honest there was so many things wrong with this experience I think that I'll simply list this as avoid at all costs. The place is attached to a hotel as well! Bet they are happy...

Ho cenato in questo ristorante giapponese ad Aprile 2014 e sono rimasta abbastanza soddisfatta. Il locale è molto carino e tranquillo,il personale gentile ed il sushi buono,tuttavia le porzioni non sono affatto abbondanti ed é un vero peccato. Non so se ci tornerei perché si spende un po' troppo. Lo consiglio comunque a chi ha portato in vacanza qualche sterlina in più'

The 20gbp offer comes with poor selection, mostly vegetable and fruits. No crab salmon or tuna. Taste is mediocre. The meal was subpar

We arrived there relatively early in the evening and were promptly seated. The menu was standard Japanese fare. My guest and I shared the Koto variety, which came with miso soup and rice, and supplemented it with an order of California rolls. The food was tasty. For dessert we settled for Tiramisu, which was more cake like in texture and not the traditional Dessert that one is accustomed to. It was ok. Service throughout the meal was efficient. As we were the only people there I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they would maintain the same efficiency when it was busy. The only beef I had was the adding of a "discretionary" 12.5 % service charge which I always feel should be left to the customer to add. To Koto's credit this is indicated on their menu.

Koto's on the ground floor of the Grange Holborn Hotel and so gets a real mix of clientele including quite a few Japanese visitors.Usually eat at Koto whenever I'm in London. It's nothing fancy, just good, standard Japanese food every time. The menu's a bit anglicised but you're in England. Perfectly acceptable Bento and Sushi. Only downside is that the sake's a bit on the pricey side.Service is fast, polite and efficient.

Bad lighting, Uncomfortable seats, cold, to much salt, waitress with no idea about sushi and over priced

My boyfriend (at the time) and I visited Koto on our first night in London. It was my first time trying sushi, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.We shared a sushi selection and a chicken udon, as well as beer and coffee.It was reasonably priced in our opinion, and though quite late we were not made to feel rushed at all.

Rien d'exceptionnel dans ce restaurant japonais.Le lieu en lui même est sans intérêt.Pas vraiment de menu donc si vous voulez un plateau de sushis il faut le composer en prenant à la pièce...ce qui revient vite très cher.Service agréable néanmoins.

The service was excellent but the food not so.We started with Gyoza dumplings - they tasted as if they were reheated day old... (and if they were I can imagine they were pretty bad even when fresh)If you want to picture what these were like imagine 711 dimsum that you reheat in the microwave after a big night out - that would be fine dining compared to koto's dumplings.We followed this appalling course with perhaps the worst bowl of ramen in history.The broth tasted as if it were reconstituted powder (in fact it had to be - nobody could make a home made broth that bad!) - and the noodles were over cooked and mushy.Without a doubt the worst Japanese meal in history. I have not eaten anything in Mcdonalds for over 30 years but to be quite honest if given the choice between a meal at koto - and a happy meal.... I would sadly go for the happy meal (but only if I were on the verge of starvation and had no other choices)

Ho mangiato qua due anni fa, e il ricordo di quella cena mi ha accompagnato per tanto tempo!Ho di nuovo l'occasione di tornare a Londra, il destino mi fa capitare proprio nell'hotel di cui questo è il ristorante, cime potevo non tornarci?Stranamente, però, l'esperienza si è rivelata al di sotto delle aspettative... Il riso semi congelato e facile a sgranarsi mi ha subito deluso... Il pesce non mi è sembrato né eccelso, né pessimo... Gli stessi temaki (coni) che due anni fa mi avevano folgorato, mi sono sembrati poco più che decenti...Come dolce, il mio cheesecake era buono, ma che c'entra col giapponese? Invece ho trovato simpatico (ma anche lì il riso si è rotto subito) il sushi di frutta, con fragole e banane...Insomma, credo che a Londra ci sia di meglio in termini di cucina giapponese... Mi dispiace solo di aver rovinato un bel ricordo!

Some years ago (14!), I worked and stayed in London hotels near Koto. With its good standard and delicious Japanese cuisine, it became one of my favourite restaurants in central London. This weekend, staying nearby, we went to see if what still there. It was and is, so in we go. Room to sit comfortably, service focused and polite, menu updated but still very Japanese. We chose a mix of courses and tastes, and as courses arrived, I remembered why I liked this restaurant. Food was great, presentation excellent, experience for me was very good.
