Excellent food. The veggie fried rice was very well-seasoned and was so tasty. I think this is the best fried rice I’ve had while eating out. The french toast is a must-try dessert. The bread is warm and the toast texture pairs well with the soft matcha. It was a good dinner experience and will definitely come back to try more vegetarian items on the menu!

5 stars for service, food, atmosphere, one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Even though they were short on staff today the service was still excellent and we still got our food served quickly. The iberico sando sandwich was amazing and although I was scared to try the aubergine it was also very flavorful. We had the beef chili rice bowl which was great to share and the shrimp toast is a must try. We finished with the Kinako French toast and I would recommend ordering one each because it was so delicious I didn’t want to share! The hot French toast is a great blend with the soft serve matcha ice cream. Would definitely recommend and I will for sure be coming back :)

Came for the green tea ice cream french toast and was not disappointed. Very yummy. But it gets a little heavy as it’s a large portion so it is shareable (or maybe not because I had to whole thing to myself). Would go back again just for the dessert

We had a great lunch here! The miso aubergine dish was our favourite. The staff were super accommodating, they managed to fit us in without a reservation and were very friendly. Definitely worth a visit :)

·

I ordered the beef hot stone rice, and it was delicious. The portion size was good. The Kinako Toast was also good. The guy who attended to me was really sweet and attentive. He asked whether I had any allergies and kept checking back to see if everything was great. I will definitely return next time I am in London.

Was highly recommended toThis place by a client of mine. Due to my experience, I shall be passing that recommendation onwards and onwards .Isn’t it nice when you speak to waiter that does into detail happily about any item on the menu? Especially when it’s your first time, tried rabbit for the first time and it was lovely, all Of the food was excellent to be fair, well priced and excellent service and hospitality by Sebastian! I hope the manager is aware of such awesome staff

I see this place a lot on Instagram. It’s been on my list for a while and an occasion suited the bill - a fun lunch out that is relatively cheap as far as Soho goes. If I’m being real, it was average. I didn’t get the hype about their matcha ice cream and french toast. The beef tataki was lacking in flavour. The Katsu sando was lovely to be fair. There’s many better places to go, but maybe try it yourself! (@diningnotdashing)

Delightful food! The beef fillet with bernaise sauce was a highlight, as was the iberico pork katsu sandwich. The only slight downside(?!) is that the food was served incredibly quickly. Whilst that's ordinarily not a problem, we intended on having a long catch up in the restaurant but all food was served within minutes of ordering and we were in and out of the restaurant in 40 mins, which made it feel more like a fast food experience. Will definitely return for the food though!

Was excited to try this restaurant but it was quite underwhelming. The taste of the food was okay, although I did like the Kim chi and padrón peppers. I did also feel a bit restricted with the menu as a vegetarian. There were a good number of options from the smaller plates but not in mains. I wouldn’t visit this restaurant again

A very relaxed, vibrant place that is very popular.The aubergine (with miso, bubu arare) was sweet and melt in the mouth, with an almost caramel flavour to it due to the miso.The Korean fried wings (with spicy sour sauce, sesame) were insanely delicious (if a little messy, I needed about 3 wipes!). Some of the best wings I've ever had. YOU MUST TRY THEM.I'm not usually a squid fan, but the crispy fried squid (with black pepper, lemon, red chillies, yuzu kosho mayo) were also amazing, so moreish.We also tried the Prawn toast ("masquerading as okonomiyaki") which was well cooked and flavoured, with katsuobushi flakes giving it a nice umami, salty seasoning.The Chashu pork bao bun was delicious, the sweet spicy soy and kimchee really made this stand out. The pork was tender and melted in the mouth and balance of sweetness and spice was perfect.The only disappointing dishes were the 2 sandos we ordered (the rabbit katsu and Iberic katsu sandos). They were pretty dry and also the bread was quite greasy. Overall they didn't have much flavour. It's a shame as one of the main reasons we visited was for the sandos!To finish we had the Kinako French toast with soft serve, matcha flavoured ice cream, which did not disappoint. It was very nice indeed. Melt in the mouth toast with oozy, soft ice cream which wasn't too heavy on the matcha flavour.The service was pretty quick and attentive.All in all a pleasurable visit and I would definitely go again.
