Cocochan Marylebone

Maybe the best Japanese food I've had in the UK (though I haven't tried that many places). A bit pricey for the portions but the food more than makes up for this with the quality. Food, drinks and dessert all superb and a nice atmosphere, with outdoor seating adjacent to James St. Note on service: If sitting outside, don't sit next to the street as the staff may forget about you (both my and the couple next to us struggled to get their attention). However, I moved inside and immediately got very quick and friendly service (especially after a lovely waitress came on shift and was very friendly and helpful, forgot to get her name to compliment her here).

Very nice food, great atmosphere and service. Lunch set menu is quite reasonably priced, main course potions however are quite small. Drinks are very good. Loved the sushi and drinks but the steak could have been a little better. All meat is halal.

Overall, nice experience! My friends and I came to celebrate a birthday. We ordered a bunch of sushi rolls to share. My friends recommended the Unagi Dragon Rolls. There aren’t that many vegetarian options so I had the Pink Garden and Vegetable Gyoza to myself. For cocktails, I would recommend Payback, because it was really refreshing. We brought a cake ourselves to celebrate but were charged £20 for the staff to store and bring the cake out. It was a bit unexpected, but we should’ve called in advance to enquire. Oh well. Something else that was unexpected was the changes in the menu. The one we saw in the restaurant wasn’t exactly the same as the one available on their website. On another note, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere and nice interior design.
