(Translated by Google) During my trip to Europe, I really wanted to eat Japanese food, so I went this time. Both the exterior and the interior are made of cafes and restaurants, and I have passed by several times. This is because it is different from the appearance that Japanese people imagine. As a matter of course, all the clerks were English-speaking. Ordered oyakodon and Asahi beer. Asahi beer had a familiar taste. Oyakodon was light and delicious. Personally, I prefer it with a little more juice. But I couldn't stop using my chopsticks because it tasted so good after a long absence. It came with miso soup, and I thought that the paprika filling was suitable for London. It's edible, but it wasn't to my liking as a Japanese person. The price is £22. I think it's twice as much as Japan, but I thought there was nothing I could do about it. Thank you for the meal. (Original) ヨーロッパ旅行中でどうしても日本食が食べたくなり今回行きました。 外観も内装もカフェやレストランの造りで、私は何度か通り過ぎました。日本人が想像する外観とは異なったためです。 当たり前ですが、店員さんは全て英語対応でした。 親子丼とアサヒビールを注文。アサヒビールは飲み慣れた味でした。親子丼は薄味で美味しかったです。個人的にはもう少し汁がかかっているほうが好みではありました。でも久々の日本の味に美味しくて箸が止まりませんでした。味噌汁がついてきたのですが、具がパプリカでロンドンに合わせているんだなと思いました。食べれますが、日本人の私の好みではありませんでした。 料金は22ポンド。日本の倍だとは思いますが、そこは致し方ないと思いました。 ごちそうさまでした。

We were a group of 4 that visited on a Tuesday after work. The place was fairly busy. I have to admit this was my first try of udon noodles. I went for the braised beef, choosing the hot udon in hot broth option. Our group also shared a few small plates such as the prawn and veggie tempura, a salad, and the pork belly. The food was so-so. Certainly not as bad as some of the dire reviews make it out to be. But not that great either. My friends seemed to enjoy the lamb cumin udon a bit more than I did mine. We also tried the sake flight, which included a nice variety of samples. Service was fairly indifferent but food was delivered quickly. The bill for the 4 of us came to £202, of which £90 was spent on drinks. Overall, I’m glad I tried out udon noodles once, and given its reputation I’d assume Koya does produce a good example of the dish, but on the whole it’s not for me, and I doubt I would return.

Very cute restaurant - the food is lovely and whole place has a really cosy atmosphere. They offer some more out there options compared to a lot of other Japanese restaurants and it all comes out quite fast, but the meal itself isn't rushed. Feels a teensy bit overpriced, but the warm lighting, attentive staff and gentle stream of city pop make for such delightful ambience. Would definitely go again!

This is my second time eating here this week. The food is delicious, so I'd give it three stars, but the service leaves something to be desired, especially today. I clearly ordered cold udon noodles, but since I'm not very familiar with Japanese food, they served me cold noodles with hot soup. I thought this was normal, but when I was paying, I asked the staff and found out that they had prepared the wrong meal. I feel like the staff wasn't very attentive when taking my order.
