Okko

Despite the bad reviews I actually had a really good experience there. I had a salmon dish I forgot the name, but was delicious. My husband had the chicken katsu and was very please too. I wanted to try the rolls but they only do them at dinner time. Will definitely be coming back!

Orderd the Yaki Soba which was daylight robbery. Cheap noodles with unimaginative source and some small bits of pepper. I would expect this at a £5 buffet on Oxford St but not for £10.
The interior is nicely done but the service was brusk to the point of being borderline hostile. No greetings or courtesy.
In their defence it was a very busy period on a saturday but that’s still not an excuse.

i dunno man — i was taking a stroll down the ol’ broadway market and thought id test out the waters as this place was packed.
i was craving dumplings but they only served ‘naked’ dumplings??? so just the filling??? i dunno this is maybe too trendy for me. you know i think some things just dont need to be ~deconstructed~ but i probably should have ordered this so i could actually have something worthwhile to say.
i ordered the prawn yakisoba noodles cause im a sucka for prawns. but honestly it was just okay. i really dont want to say anything negative cause the place looked so nice and staff were lovely and all that jazz but i just got bored of it and didnt end up finishing it. the noodles were all stuck together and it said it came with vegetables but only veg i got was peppers… hmmm…
HOWEVER i ordered a lychee martini and it was SO GOOD. just very very delicious. in fact so good i told my friend i was with to try it cause it would fuck her up in the best way possible.
i do want to go back and try something else cause i feel like i just ordered wrong!!! i dunno!!!

Nice Japanese bay surfer vibe and decent sushi. Had the vegetarian tofu ramen as main course and was the worst ramen I’ve ever had. Comparing to ramen bars in Tokyo and other places in London, like Bone daddies, I wouldn’t go back for it. The miso stock was too salty, the mushrooms were pickled and sour, and the noodles were a bit hard. It didn’t have any of the distinct umami and I couldn’t finish it.

Kaum zu glauben, dass dieser Japaner noch nicht auf Unilocal gelistet ist. Versteckt zwischen den kleinen Cafès und Restaurants in der Straße wo normalerweise an einem Samstag der Broadway Market zu finden ist, hat sich nun das Okko angesiedelt. In den Laden passen ungefähr 20 Leute rein, daher würde ich dringend dazu raten zu reservieren. Gerade weil man hier Tisch an Tisch sitzt, hat sich hier schon das ein oder andere amüsante Gespräch mit dem Tischnachbar ergeben :)
Die «Naked Gyoza» und «Ramen» Suppen habe ich bisher nur beäugeln können — gegessen habe ich allerdings jetzt schon zum zweiten mal die legendären «Okko Rolls» (Deep fried salmon, crab and cream Cheese — yum!), gefolgt von Ebi Tempura und Spicy Salmon. Alles sehr zu empfehlen! (Bilder werden auf jeden Fall beim nächsten mal hinzugefügt). Man bekommt außerdem sofort eine Karaffe Wasser an den Tisch gestellt, was ich sehr begrüße.
Der Service is sehr nett, geduldig und hilfsbereit — jedoch war er das letzte mal an Silvester ein wenig lahm und unaufmerksam, bei nur 6 Gästen im überschaubaren Restaurant. Da das aber hoffentlich bei einem von zwei Besuchen eine Ausnahme war gibt es trotzdem 4 Sterne und einen garantiert nächsten Besuch!
