Koya Japanese Restaurant Hackney - (Near Hackney, london)

Keioni Essex I went to one of their eat along anime nights with my girlfriend. The atmosphere was very wholesome and the theme was cool. I would highly recommend. We watched ponyo for reference :)

Endy Jacob The food was fantastic. I enjoyed every bite of it.

Silvia YUMMM ✨ Elliot’s definitely surpassed all expectations! My friend and I really enjoyed the food as well as the vibesss The chicken was the absolute king of the night, being cooked to perfection and melting as soon as you bite into it. The cheese puffs and flatbread were also great. The broad beans were the right choice of light side as well! Loved it and will definitely be back!

Steve Weir Fantastic! Friendly helpful staff that clearly care a lot about giving guests a positive experience! A little cramped in the dining area, but still a nice ambience! Good job lads, everything tasted amazing, but particular hats-off to the chefs special rice!

Q J. We visited this restaurant twice, and each experience was delightful. Our first visit was on a quiet Sunday in April. Although the weather was a bit chilly, it was still manageable for an outdoor meal. We easily found a seat and were impressed by the excellent service. We ordered Sunday roast. The roast was recommended — the meat was tender and juicy, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Although we encountered a minor issue, it was promptly resolved. Our second visit was during Euro 2024 on a lively Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere was completely different: the place was packed with people watching football and enjoying pints of beer. If youre unsure what to order, I highly recommend the chef’s BBQ platter. It includes pork belly, beef short ribs, chicken, and sausage, accompanied by coleslaw and Cajun fries. This combination is perfect for a barbecue meal, especially when paired with their fresh, self-brewed beers. The portion of the platter is advertised for 2-3 people, but it might be small for those with larger appetites. For us—two women and a child—it was just right, and we were thoroughly satisfied with the flavors and textures of the meats. The beef short ribs were particularly amazing. If you havent visited this restaurant yet this summer, its definitely worth checking out!
