Koya Bar - Menu

beautiful raben! not big in part, but love the seat plan where sit around the kitchen, cool idea, a great place to lunch with friends, but not optimal to dinner, as the people sitting next to each other can be difficult to chat while enjoying the diners:

Worth every minute of waiting time. The spot is a small space with a huge open kitchen and seating around the long counter. Everything is prepared fresh, their udon noddles are perfect for a winter weather. Definitely a recommend, they don’t take reservations, walk in only.

A quiet, authentic Japanese udon noodle bar down a quiet street in London’s Soho. Koya Bar definitely sets itself apart from the more main stream ramen noodle bars in London now. Not only because it serves udon noodles, but also because of it’s quirky menu and seasonal daily specials.

duck and waffle is one of the highest restaurants in london and leads 24 hours. trust me when I say that - it is packed for all these 24 hours each day! They have a bar and a restaurant and it is always full! we have booked a Sunday brunch for Mother's Day and loved him! we ordered their famous duck and roast, chicken,

needed some light and warm to dinner because temperature has dropped off.) I heard that the koya bar has one of the best udon in london. only ordered the kake udon level udon) with tamago as supplement. the nude is so chewing. broth is light, but tasty. tamago is so soft and beautiful and the chili powder is quite sharp!

When I heard the original Koya were to close down last year I feared that there would be nowhere else in London to have authentic Japanese food besides sushi and ramen (god forbid places like Taro, which I might or might not review). Thankfully they opened a sister branch, Koya Bar, right next door with a few more dishes besides their fantastic udon.

Koya was a Japanese restaurant with an udon bar attached. Unfortunately chef Junya Yamasaki decided to return to Japan and closed the restaurant. But the udon bar has been kept open. Koya bar serves very authentic udon. Good for quick and healthy lunch in Soho. Note: the foodie reviews will be a mix of restaurant and bar, but will hopefully give you a good sense of the place.

The eating scene in London is truly amazing. There are so many options, regardless of time or day of the week. After seeing Matilda The Musical at Cambridge Theatre, we went to Koya Bar in Soho for some dinner. Seeing as half of our party was meat eaters and the the other half vegetarian/pescetarian, Koya Bar was the perfect fit as they offer a variety of options. Koya Bar is, like with many other London eateries, on the smaller scale, with an open kitchen and a bar surrounding it. Luckily, the seven of us managed to get a seat before the dinner rush.

We decided to opt for a starter from the daily specials – grilled chicken wings with burnt soy and leeks £8.20). If you’re a chicken wing lover then you’ll love this dish! The skin was nice and crispy, yet the chicken wing meat was juicy and tender. The burnt soy tasted similar to teriyaki – so a bit of a sticky soy sauce with a subtle sweetness. Saba Udon smoked mackerel with green leaves – £10.70). The smokey, salty mackerel paired up with thick silky udon noodles was amazing. The mackerel had also been slightly grilled, so it was crispy on the outside but still moist inside. It was also refreshing to have a simple clear broth. Buta Miso pork and miso – £9.90)....read more
