Booked 2 times today

An intriguing Eastern restaurant in amongst the boutiques and bars of trendy Fitzrovia, Koba is a very different dining prospect. The beautifully burnished tones of the trend-driven dining room give a luxuriant feel to a cuisine more usually associated with casual eating, the setting as suited to romantic dinners or business lunches as to eating with friends. Koba’s speciality of the Korean table BBQ gives eating out a spicy touch of drama with food cooked at your table – a real talking point. Additionally, a varied and comprehensive menu of Korean specialities offers a real change from the more usual Asian cuisines of China, Thailand and Japan.

I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy a great buffet experience. The selection is impressive, with a wide variety of marinated meats to cook, chicken wings, soup, Tteok-bokki, dishes that cater to all tastes. Considering we were a big group of 10 the service is exceptional—staff are attentive, friendly, and make you feel right at home. We also got to enjoy the karaoke rooms which were jammed packed full of favourite songs

Our first time at Koba. Food, service, experience were all excellent. I scored a point down on ambience because we were downstairs which was a bit lacking in atmosphere, more fun upstairs. It's also pretty expensive, easy for the bill to mount up without much effort!! But the food was delicious, our server brilliant and we would highly recommend and go again. And again.
