"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."

"My friend and I went to Sushisamba in the past months and I would like to share my brief comments about the dine in experience. • They restrict us 120 minutes dining time (when they served slowly on certain dishes, you would need to rushing quickly to finish it before they could serve you on other dishes). Waiter kept checking on us and asked us to finish the last piece of plate so that he could clear it ! • Music is too loud, therefore people are talking loud too. Really noisy! • Some of the table can't enjoy any view, probably facing entrance or kitchen. If you need to good view, please be more specific to request it. However even we have requested a good view, but they still unable to promise it. • We booked taste of Sumba £100 each person comes with 3 courses. The staff will be delivered all starter come in one go when your table is too small to place all the foods, and you might worry the place will falls onto floor and dine very carefully ! •Can't believe that you paid about £100 per person but you will use disposal chopsticks ! • When the staff clear up the plate, he used a dirty and smelly cloth to clean the table, and you would felt disgusting smell stay on the table and made us felt really unpleasant to stay longer to sit there! We should have asked him to clean it again but he looks not friendly to us. • There are some outdoor table and you may take some photos of London • Average foods and drinks Foods but Green bean tempura, shrimps tempura and black cod taste was good. Overall we had not a great dining experience for the price and service we paid, we had been forced to eat faster !! They are many awesome restaurants with good foods as well as fantastic service plus fantastic view, Honestly I would not recommend any of friends to go Sushisamba, sorry ! !"
