Harden's says
2012 MasterChef finalist Andrew Koj has spent the past five years working towards opening his own restaurant; after crowdfunded investment, here it is - the eponymous Koj, a no-sushi Japanese venture that draws on his half-Japanese heritage.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Fantastic small plates of Japanese food” win solid ratings for MasterChef finalist Andrew Kojima’s “great place – right in the city centre”. There’s a “changing menu” of izakaya-style dishes, including a beer drinkers’ menu – but a ‘no sushi’ policy as Koj strives to extend understanding of Japanese cuisine.
Summary
MasterChef finalist Andrew Koj’s “stripped back” – and crowdfunded – Asian café, long in the making, is by all accounts a “good place to know of” – the “decent (to “superb”) Japanese small-plate cooking” is “unfussy”, and “pretty good value” too.
Summary
MasterChef finalist Andrew Koj spent five years working towards opening his own restaurant; after crowdfunded investment, here it is – the eponymous, no-sushi Japanese venture in Cheltenham draws on the chef’s half-Japanese heritage and one early report praises “an excellent place to stop for a light meal”.
