Amazed that not one review mentioned the earsplitting, mind numbing "music" (hip hop and rappers) which ruined our visitwith my son, wife and 2 grandchildren. No conversation possible. The light level was such that I could barely see what was on my plate. The food had some exquisite bites, also some that were not. The slow cooked pork was bland, a few others just ok. Service was excellent.For the exorbitant money, I suggest you go elsewhere.

Came in on one of the few last days this restaurant was open. Although this review won't be worth much, I thought the food was fantastic. At the bar, the cold fried chicken was delicious and so was the sando. The drinks were amazing and the staff were so amazing despite the fact they were told the previous day they had to find new work; 11/10 effort there.

This was hands down my favorite dining experience ever! The service was seamless from the hostess to the sommelier, to the people bussing, wiping our water condensation from the tabletop, to the personalized note for restaurant/bar recommendations. All the food and wine pairings were explained so well that we anticipated each course. The food was superb. My taste buds danced pleasantly all night. The attention to detail and all the nuances involved in creating such a beautiful experience were noticed and so appreciated by both my husband and I. I was really looking forward to dining here and left on the highest of highs thanks to every detail that was thoughtfully put together, not to mention the incredible food. Thank you to Simon and every single team member for making it such a memorable night!!!
An absolutely wonderful experience. We had a group of four at one of the two tables in the main room and were awed by many of the courses, the service and atmosphere matched. It was a 3hr experience and we left full and happy. Would do again in a heartbeat and highly recommend.

The food is amazing. The staff is friendly and engaging. The atmosphere is comfy. This place is perfect, each course is different from the next. And no matter what you'll have a good time.

The ultimate Grandeur for everyone who wants to be ahead of the culinary curve. Beautiful signature dishes, newcomers with a twist and dedicated staff. No idea why anyone can give less than five stars. Looking forward to coming back.

The worst combination of flavours in the history of cooking!We usually ignore reviews and assume that everybody’s experience is different. However, on this occasion all the negative reviews about Ko are based on facts and not bias. The persistent theme is that the food is awful, bland, lacks flavour. This is spot on. We would go as far as describing this to be the worst food we’ve ever eaten in all our worldwide fine dinning experience.A potential case of a hyped up restaurant by a famous chef, very good PR, but my god, the food is beyond awful. Quite literally vomit inducing awful. None of the flavour combinations work… the cold chicken was tough and the worst thing we’ve ever put in our mouths; and the feeling is, they don’t care!The service was excellent and servers were so keen to serve you with a smile. They deserve a 5/5.Needless to say we will not be returning but somehow I don’t think they thrive on returning customers, but first timers who pay a considerable amount.I would not be surprised if Ko lost their stars. It’s beyond shocking.

Went for the Amex gold x resy collaboration.I would say two things really stood out to me:- cold fried chicken leg: this was so delicious especially with the ranch sauce- all the sauces with the foods, the peppery sauce with the fish and the bulldog sauce with the pork shoulderI would also highly recommend the Japanese cheesecake!Overall the food was really well made and with care. The restaurant would be perfect for a date night.

I was worried that it seemed "too easy" to get a reservation and was worried something might be off. Couldn't have been more wrong, my wife and I had a wonderful experience. The food, drink and service were all outstanding. Very personalized touch having the chefs nearby to answer questions and provide details. Highly recommended
Cozy restaurant with great service. Hand-written menu and silverware in the drawer of your table add to the charm. My girlfriend loved the cold chicken legs, though I wasn't completely sold. A cold chicken leg is a cold chicken leg. Still, I would recommend getting it because it's part of the experience.

We visited for my husband’s birthday and had a great experience! The menu was really cute and hand written, the food was really good (limited non-meat options however) and the service was great. We even got a little cake for my husband!

We had a wonderful meal here. Tasting menu was very well done. Delicious and flow of flavors was excellent. Servers were at the top of their game. Special love for the foie burger. Totally blew it away! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Have tried and failed to get into this restaurants many times but this time I was solo and got in 8.30 prime time Saturday. It’s mostly a counter service which was perfect. A well put together menu as you would expect for a M2*. Good interaction with staff. So it’s a10 course tasting menu. Highlights for me the onion soufflé with cured 45 day strip loin was exceptional. As a further example of innovation and excellence the first dessert course involved Frois Gras. Yes! So the only real reason to dock it a point is price. It’s in the Core London territory which has 3*. Is it as good. Nope. Other than that. Outstanding. Would I go back. 100% yes.
