"It's no secret that I love Japanese food. And even less of a secret is my fondness for a good cocktail. So put the two together and I'm a very happy girl. Koji which ticks both these boxes in Parsons Green, seems to be a bit of a secret.... I'd never heard of it until researching sake cocktails for a piece I wrote for Time Out, but when they read my piece they invited me down to sample the cocktails and food in person. I went along with Lucy the night before heading to Tresco to do a weekend of pop ups, and we had the most delicious feast of delicate yet punchy Japanese food with punchy yet delicate cocktails!Koji have an ex Nobu chef in their kitchen and you can really tell there's someone who knows what they're doing there. Every dish was exquisite, and the whole experience heightened by being in such a gorgeous setting if you want to impress a date then head straight to Koji. We started with cocktails in the elegant bar area, which is lit by huge feather covered lights. When you go to Koji (which you really should if you're anything like me about good cocktails and Japanese food) order the lemongrass and chilli martini. The perfect balance of zesty and spicy it left our lips tingling in all the right ways. We didn't get round to trying it but the watermelon martini also sounds divine.The food at Koji is Japanese,with a modern twist. The menu's divided into snacks, hot and cold tapas, robata grill and various forms of sushi and sashimi. Being the good (greedy) reviewers that we are, we tried to sample something from each section. Starting with the most wonderful soft shell crab and asparagus summer roll. Light, fresh and expertly rolled it was a great start to what turned out to be a top notch meal."

"Wonderful restaurant. Hidden gem behind Clapham North tube..its really big inside. I received a really warm greeting from the owner Luigi who is a real character. This is a great venue for any parties, social clubs, people celebrating their birthdays. The space is really flexible and they have large bar too with great cocktails. The food is really excellent. This is my 3rd visit and each time I've tried different plates. This time I had the halloumi starter which was tasty with fresh tomato and garlic. They halloumi is rolled in almonds which is a great touch. Very light, not greasy at all. For my main I had the Shrimp with coconut and rice. This is a fantastic tasty dish using fresh shell on giant prawns- so delicious! They've got a good choice of wines too and side dishes. I had no room for dessert. This place deserves to be packed every night as it's a family run, quality establishment and not one of these tired chain bar/pub places. Highly recommend."
