Chotto Matte - London

Came here for an anniversary meal and we weren't disappointed. Tried the Nikkei #3 sharing menu which is reasonably good value for £75 per head. We certainly felt full by the end of the meal! Highlights were the ceviche and miso black cod the cod was so tender it was sublime! Cocktails were also great and the service was attentive, friendly and fast. Comfortable seating and fun vibe with the volume just right to be able to enjoy both the music and conversation. The dessert platter was extremely generous with a bit of everything!

Loved the vegetarian tasting menu here, came here for our anniversary meal and it didn’t disappoint! Really filling and lots of unique dishes to try. Staff were really attentive too.

Excellent service, all clean. And the food was delicious. I highly recommend the experience, especially the house beer. I have to say that I really enjoyed the sushi that they caramelize with fire on the table. I have no doubt that I will go again.

Had a perfect night at Chotto Matte, it’s nice to go to a restaurant and actually have good food. Often going to places a bit more expensive the food doesn’t match up to the price but the food here was delicious, the decor was lovely and the staff are exceptional. Would definitely return and will be recommending it to my friends. Every dish was 10/10 which doesn’t happen often. If you ordered any or all of the dishes we got you’ll absolutely love them. Otherwise, the staff can make recommendations based on your preferences.

The food quality varied especially given the small portion sizes and price point. Between the three of us, we shared the Nikkei gyoza (good), yellowtail sashimi and tuna tataki (both ok), dragon roll, soft shell crab roll (both full of flavour), the pulpo (very salty and the flavour didn't work) and the Japanese soufflé cheesecake (not a standout). The cocktail I had (yuzu martini) was very good. The food was initially slow to arrive but overall our waiter was very friendly.
