こや(Koya)


A belated post about a wonderful meal we had at KOYA- a local japanese restaurant in Soho specialising in their homemade udon!  (reminded by our recent udon adventure) How exciting! This was a birthday treat for Noodlegirl.  We had a Zaru Udon (cold) and grilled fish with Udon in soup, garnished with a salad!

The texture, Q-factor (chewyness) and taste were remarkably fresh and light.  It was not stodgy at all, nor does it break off too easily.  We were lucky enough to get a table at the back corner of this cosy eatery which gave a view of the open kitchen.  It was great to see the chefs in action and observe how organised and calmly they all worked!  The udon had been made in batches beforehand and were kept dusted with a little flour in containers, and cooked to order.  Prices were reasonable given the quality the fuss-free and authentic flavours served up!  Thoroughly enjoyable :)
