It brings something new to London, as although there's lots of Japanese restaurants, none really do focus on udon noodles.<br /><br />I was slightly disappointed with the braised pork in cider myself, but was fully impressed with the lightness of the tempura batter, along with the biggest and juiciest king prawns I have ever seen in London!<br /><br />Koya is one of those places that goes into my shortlist of places to visit again and again.The London Insiderhttp://www.london-insider.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-76957926166275523802010-05-17T10:02:00.555+01:002010-05-17T10:02:00.555+01:00I still haven't been to Koya as the queues are...I still haven't been to Koya as the queues are now at least 40 minutes long on some nights!
