Great place , great dessert . Had a lovely time , staff was very courteous , and helpful . Sushi was really nice and all recommendations were great !
Fun! That’s how I would describe this place in one word. A very cool vibe, with a great crowd. The bar nights are a whole of fun, with great music. But, above all is the food! The sushi and dim sums are to die for, let alone the mains and the deserts. So this place definitely get’s a 👍🏿 from me.
It was our anniversary and it was a Great coincidence that they have a Thursday tasting set menu on the same day ! So we could try more food in lesser portions. Before I even say another word, I have to warn you, go here on an empty stomach. It’s worth every dime. The quality, the service, the staff, the flavours everything excellent. Starting with the salads, the many many sushi and many manh dimsums as carpaccio ... we were so stuffed by then. The mains were all left ! We barely had any more space for more food but then the mains too (small plates) were beyond yummy. I would highly recommend the place ..
Overall experience was good

I'd heard so much about this place and tried searching last year through Google Maps when I was in Kamala Mills. The location was not (and still not) exact and I got caught in the August rains and dashed for the nearest restaurant. This time, however I figured out and it was worth the wait!
My friend and I were intrigued by the range of dimsums and tried out the lobster-caviar one. It was really good and the seafood smell was not at all overpowering.
The prawn sushi was excellent with just the right amount of crispiness.
We ordered the steamed veggies which was so fresh, light, no heavy dressing, and the perfect choice for pre-summer months. I would really like to make it at home soon.
Though I usually like a-la-carte, we decided to try out 1 Lunch Exclusive meal. A combo meal is usually very basic in most places. Not in Koko though - they made it with equal attention and love (the presentation, the garnish etc). The dessert in the meal (red-velvet based) could have been better but then nobody goes to an Asian place with the expectation of a great American dessert, so it didn't matter at all.
Ah, the cocktails! I had a Bellini while my friend had the whiskey sour. They were so good that we ordered another round even after finishing our meals.
Definitely a great place to go with your family, friends or your special one, with great food, service, classy decor and no loud music (meaning - great conversations).
Whatever we had was delicious. We tried pork dumplings, crispy prawn cheung fun, garlic fried rice. Everything was superb
Loved the ambience. It was almost full for a Wednesday night
Vishal,Had a superb Valentine's Eve, was very well received by Sharmin at the venue, she made me seated at the place I asked for, enjoyed the sushi, desserts, overall had a fantastic eve, Thanks Koko for making my day.
It was our first visit to KOKO for my wife’s birthday - Great experience from the time we stepped in ... We got the table we asked for .. Excellent food recommendation from the staff - If you are looking for authentic asian - then go to KOKO and you will not be disappointed ..The ambience, service , quality of food , portions and dessert all made this a wonderful experience..
Try the Tenderloin Chilly , Soft Shell Crab Sushi , Scallop Dimsums - For the mains we recommend Edmame Black Rice with truffle oil , Prawns in Singapore chilly sauce & Iberico Pork
Save space for dessert and have the Hazelnut Chocolate Crust Fingers..

Been a while since we have visited this place but would love to talk about it. This swanky Asian retro bar is mostly buzzing on Saturday nights and luckily, we visited the place on Saturday. We went in a big group and had quite a bit to eat. Starting with our favourite aromatic prawns. This mildly flavoured appetiser was truly incredible.
Up next was the seafood dimsum that came to blow our mind. Wild salmon truffle sushi was like a party in the mouth and so was the avocado and tempura sushi roll. Became an instant fan of the bao and also the black rice was pretty amazing and unique tasting. The edamame two ways were really well-made.
For desserts, we had the matcha cheesecake and red velvet parfait. These two too were absolutely on point.
The only thing we felt was that the quantity of each dish was a bit less compared to their pricing. Although the music was quite cool and so was the ambience.
Would love to visit the place again for its cocktails.

The music and the ambience was really good. Loved the food as well, dimsums were nice especially the water chestnut one, also the brocolli was amazing... definitely worth a 2nd visit

We visited KOKO on a sunday for their unlimited Asian Affair brunch. Located in the restaurant hub of Lower Parel ie. Kamala Mills, this restaurant is a class apart and has a beautiful ambience which is very worth mentioning. For their Brunch they have live music playing. The Brunch deal is Rs. 2500/- per head all inclusive. They have abrunch drinks menu which consists of very exciting looking brunch cocktails. A prior reservation is a must as this place tends to get completely packed on Sundays. Their service is top notch and the stewards are very attentive and quick with bringing your food to your table. Even with the restaurant completely packed, their service remained consistently good till we left. There is a special brunch menu at the table which offers a wide variety of Dimsums, Sushi, Baos, Soups and salads you can choose from. My husband and I love pan asian food and we had a wonderful time sampling their different varieties at this brunch. We ordered 2 cocktails, both Gin based; Yuka Fizzu & Daiki, both very well concocted. There were so many varieties of dimsum we ordered that it will be hard to describe each and everyone here. So in short, the quality and the way the dimsums were prepared were perfect. Even though they were constantly dishing out these dimsums, the chef managed to maintain consistency in the taste and the covering and the steaming of each and every dimsum. My favourite was the Cottage Cheese Dumpling (black dumplings) and the Iberico Pork dumpling. The sushi too was wonderful and had so many different interesting varieties. My favourite was the KOKO signature roll. The desserts were a perfect end to our meal we ordered one of each of the 2 varieties. If you are a lover of Dimsum and Sushi, this place is a must must visit for their Sunday Brunch. We loved every bit of our experience here..
Such an amazing experience at Koko! Brilliant food.. Tried the Sunday brunch menu... everything tasted sooo good.. Amazing staff.. Even though I went alone, I didn't feel lonely at all..the manager and the staff members did a great job to make me feel very comfortable. Overall fantastic experience!
One of the best place in town for high-end oriental meal. The quantity and the portions are sufficient. Gastronomical journey everyone will love.
Koko has a fascinating name and interiors. Ambiance is remarkable with comfortable seating and tall chairs respectively.
We were in a rush and ordered for Bento lunch which though was good, I guess my friend and I repented as most of the things turned cold before we could try and dessert was tad bite size.
We would love to return to koko as the menu was really promising and Maki rolls were worth giving it a shot
For green tea, they serve mago mago from TLC which is a damn good choice !!

My son and I went for their Sunday Brunch on 15.12. The great experience started on the phone with Shamin who took our reservations the day before. She politely followed up with us on the actual day of our booking, remembered us when we walked in. and on her own assured us that the moment there was a table free, she would move us ( we were on a high bar table), Very efficient.
The great service continued with Ashutosh and Kylie ( not sure of her exact name : it definitely started with a K and she is from Nagaland ) Extremely nice , and very efficient.
The gin cocktails were great!! A big thumbs - up to the team on the cart for making such a great job of those. Again, very sweet boys.
Now for the food. Each and everything on the Brunch menu was FANTASTIC. We ate only the non-veg items :) except fof the salads. The dumplings were delicate with a transluscent cover with delicious stuffing. The sushi was outstanding, fresh and tasty. The salads were also quite yummy. Tangy and with a bit of a crunch to add some fun.
The gyoza was also well-made. crunchy and with a delicious chicken stuffing.
The crowning glory was the Lamington we ordered for dessert. Super soft, yet firm with a silky custard-filled centre. Perfect end to an amazing meal.
This review might sound a little unreal but it really was one of those days when everything just flowed magically from one great dish to the other topped by great service.
Well, well, well!! Koko is definitely the place to be. Every Saturday we hit this place. So positive is the vibe of the place, as soon as you enter you feel this is it! No more hopping around.
The staff is always smiling n welcoming. We are vegetarians, n yet the food n variety compliment the awesome cocktails really well.
For me and my gang, these guys are 5 out of 5!! Hope they keep it up!!!
The food is very delicious and me being a Jain the Jain food is very nice and we usually don’t get Jain good in such restaurants, we has the sushi, rice, noodles and the broccoli creamy planta was the best💓and in desserts we had the hazelnut dessert it was nice🤤the staff was also very courteous
We went without a reservation on a Saturday and expectedly weren't received as warmly, but they did give us a table immediately. The brunch at Rs 2500 inclusive of taxes is a steal! You absolutely get your money's worth and more. We ate 4 kinds of sushi, 5 kinds of dumplings, cheung fun, 3 types of salad, 2 types of dessert and refused soup!
It is great food, not sure about the cost. Of course I'm no expert on Japanese cuisine, but we liked the flavours and tastes that came to our table. Of course we also realised we're not "sushi people", but I bet whoever likes sushi would like it
Another great addition to the amazing places in Kamala Mills!!
We were here for a weekend lunch and had made a reservation beforehand. The host was courteous and helpful. The place is tastefully dine and the seating is elegant and comfortable.
We tried the koko signature rolls, truffle-warer chestnut-sweet pea dumplings and thai lotus root in chilli oil. All of these were delicious, and had distinct flavours. No two dishes tasted similar, which is quite an achievement! The dim sum was a favourite at our table and tasted fresh and interesting. The tempura asparagus in an otherwise regular vegetarian avacado roll was new and nice.
We finished with the pan fried noodles which was good too.
Great food, awesome service, good value for money. What's not to love?!
Definitely recommend.
We were a group of 9 .. had gone for dinner on a Sunday evening & I have to say our evening was lit ..! It was all a wonderful package.. the ambiance, the food (vegetarian), the drinks & the service.. all were excellent..! Do try the signature koko roll sushi & the cottage cheese charcoal dumplings..
I just loved their whiskey based Muztagh Pass cocktail & I have to mention that they served Hoegarden just the way it should be.. with a slice of orange..! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Coming back for more..!!
We had the Thursday tasting menu .. it was absolutely brilliant. Best dimsums and sushi ever .. great ambience too .

What is not good is what I want to ask!!?!??! One of the best fine dining place we have visited and will recommend everyone. Liked the fact that they have a dress code especially for gentleman. The ambiance is perfect. The table placement is good, the lights music was perfect for fine dining. Not so noisy and staffs were well versed with all the food & drinks in their menu. He made us to taste new food and desserts they were planning to add in their new menu. We really enjoyed our time and will want to go back again and again. We have a high expectation from this restaurant.
Whtta place! Bole tou ☝️number! On a serious note, a must visit for Oriental cuisine lovers. Especially the sushi totally loved it, yes not very good with other types of Japanese dishes, but what ever was on the table it was 5 star. Amazing vibe, drinks and food :)

KOKO Asian Gastropub, serves modern asian food that takes you for a tour around East Asia. What I ordered: ⠀⠀
Koko Signature Roll : Avocado, tempura asparagus, topped with crisps and ‘Koko sauce’. This is the sushi of your dreams. ⠀
⭐⭐⭐⭐️⭐️⠀⠀
Silken Tofu in Spicy Plum Sauce : Melt in your mouth tofu tossed in some sweet and spicy plum sauce, topped with pine nuts and asparagus. Perfectly flavored and light - this one is a must try!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️⠀
⠀⠀
Crispy Spinach Sprout Cheung Fun : Spinach sprout filling in a double layer of thin rice noodle and crispy tempura batter, doused in a sweet soy sauce. Personal FAVOURITE!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⠀
Silken Tofu in Chilli Black Bean : Similar to mapu tofu, best paired with some sticky jasmine rice. The bird eye chili gives this dish a super spicy kick, so if you’re one who prefers mild flavors, be sure to mention it to the chef. ⠀
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️⠀⠀⠀
⠀
Hazelnut Crunch Fingers : A nutty chocolate ganache with an overlay of crunchy cocoa and a garnish of French biscuit. Nutella/ferrerocher lovers - this is the ultimate dessert for you.
Tip: Book your table via EazyDiner and get a bite sized portion (pictured) of this dessert for free! ⠀

The food gods seem to be kind to me these days, as I've had a streak of visiting very good restaurants. And this continued this afternoon too with my visit to KOKO. As soon as I walked in, the open and spacious feel of the restaurant got my attention, as did the excellent decor. The service from the moment we walked in till we left was faultless, and I wish to thank the staff of KOKO for making our special celebration afternoon a very happy experience. I had heard of the excellent food at KOKO, and having empty, rumbling bellies we couldn't wait to get right to it, without wasting time on drinks.
We started with Sushi and Sashimi, and ordered Hoi Sin Duck Roll (this is the first time any of us have had duck as a sushi option, and it was very very good), Signature Prawn Tempura Sushi, and Hamachi Yellow Tail Sashimi. If you are a Sushi lover as we are, you cannot not visit Koko, as the quality and freshness of the fish is instantly recognisable.
We then sank our teeth into the most moist, well-made, beautifully cooked Scallops. I've had cause to complain at some five star hotels in Mumbai about the scallops being overcooked, but these were just melt in the mouth, and deliciously accompanied with bamboo heart, mushrooms, asparagus, and ponzu butter.
The main course consisted of Prawns in Singapore Sauce (if you do not like spicy food do not order this dish, which we devoured with all relish), Spicy Lemongrass Fried Rice (SOOOO Good), and perfectly cooked and delicately flavoured Tenderloin with Broccoli and Scallions. Of course, after all of this there was no place for any dessert, as the portions of all the dishes are generous indeed!
Thank you Koko....definitely returning...Soon!
KOKO - the restaurant has a very grand feel, the tables are spaced out and the music is just right volume for one to enjoy conversations over a a nice meal. The guava mocktail was too good - guava cranberry and a dash of tobasco. The food menu is extensive with lot of options from sushis to dimsums to a variety of starters. We tried the portobello mushroom starter with asparagus - it was flavourful, turnip cake and lotus root starters were also very nice and well prepared. The servings of the starters were large, more than average starter portions. We had to skip the mains and directly moved to a dessert. We tried the creme brulee. It was well made. On the whole, it was a nice meal. The staff is attentive, informed and make an effort to ensure that the meal is as per your liking.
As always an amazing experience at Koko. Special thanks to Tejas for always being so courteous and taking care and serving us so well !
👍🏻👍🏻
This place is my new love. They have a lot variety in their menu and everything I tried from this place was extremely good and great in taste. Staff also behaved very well and was kind enough.
One of the best Asian food around and that's saying something in this area.
Superb dining experience. Food was great and one must try the shushi. Will def go to have sushi again. But the best part about the whole experience was the staff. They know their stuff, well informed and they make recommendations according to your likes and dislikes. Dessert was good too.
My go-to place now for 🍣. Great variety and very tasty food. My Soya was a little too salty so they changed it and gave me a lighter soya that was just perfect. The wasabi could be more pungent but otherwise everything was creme-de-la-creme. And oh, the surprise element was the fresh Hoegaarden.
One of the best Asian food ever had. Awesome food and awesome ambience... Loved everything about it. Must visit. Waiters can be more attentive.

Koko!
Yay: Food!
Nay: Price? Depends on you.
.
Must haves:
1. Soupy dumplings
2. Hot Toddy / loved loved it
3. All the Sushi you can eat or afford
.
Koko is a classy fine dine restaurant with beautiful and spaced interiors and amazing service: I was a little sick when I went to Koko and they offered me Hot Toddy which really good 😍.
.
Dishes we had:
1. Various Various types of Sushi
Eating sushi is an act. It is and has to be a pure experience. Koko spoilt us for choice, both veg and non veg Sushi here has a lot of variety. Loved all of them! Must must must have.
2. Salads: Chun Ya
3. Salads: Koko San
Both the salads were extremely fresh, juicy and really tasty. Asian salads are great starters as they merge the cooked and uncooked at their best.
4. Ginseng nutty edamame soup
The souo was fabulous. So settled and rich in its taste, it was one of the best edamame based food that I have consumed. Really soothing.
5. Soupy dumpling: Tom yum Je
Again another act of food consuming. For someone who doesn’t know, you basically have to break open the dumpling and a soup oozes out of it. It was a sized container, to take the soup and remains and it was absolutely delicious. Must have!!!
6. Dessert: Forest Log
Beautiful presentation. The mushroom shaped meringue was deceptive as it seemed heavy but was light as air. The chocolate log was fully consumable and was a good mixture of dark and bitter chocolate.
.
While Mumbai is flooded with Asian restaurants now, Koko definitely stands out because of the array of food, ambiance, drinks and service. It is a beautiful place to take your date or family and I highly recommend it :D

One of the best asian cuisine restaurants in the city.
Truly outstanding food!
Even though its quite expensive but it’s definitely worth it!
Great location and great vibe as well.
The sushis and the appetisers are quite amazing!!
Must try out if youre in the area
I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is just deliciously irresistible!! Amazing Asian food. It’s incomparable to any other restaurant. It leaves me wanting for more and feel like I need to come back soon again.
One word. Awesome.
Great even for Vegetarians
Best dish: Signature Sushi
Must try: Spicy Nam Tok and Sweet Pea Dumplings
Pro tip: Don't forget to explore the Sauces they have on the table.
The experience started with the Signature Veg Sushi and the amazing spicy Nam Tok Cottage cheese.
The Sushi with the Wasabi was perfect. The Signature sushi had 8 to 9 servings of sushi
The serve 4 to 5 types of additional sauces to eat with the food.
The Spicy Nam Tok cottage cheese, was a small Paneer dish with onions and a really tasty dressing.
With the red spicy sauce and the black spicy sauce it was marvelous.
Turnip cake and garlic, nice and tasty little cubes with a a simple texture and great taste.
We tried the Truffle, water chestnut and sweet pea dumplings.
They are a mouthful.
In Desset.
We had The Forest log law and the Hazelnut fingers.
Both were suggested by the team and were great.
The serving team suggested food and help out with any difficulties while figuring out the dishes.
Most amazing dishes and service. The lotus stem and sushis were out of the world. Perfectly cooked and spiced. The service was fantastic. I would recommended this place to all who would want to eat Asian food.
Have been meaning to visit this place for a while now ..finally ended up going for a Saturday lunch..the food is just wow ! Across small plates to the main course..everything was really good and the variety of the menu is amazing ..a place which you can keep coming back for more !
KOKO is one of my favourite place to visit if in a mood for Asian delicacy. Right from food to ambience to service is class apart. It's one of the top notch place on Kamla mills . The staff is really helpful and interactive

Being an Asian food lover, absolutely loved the food here. Ordered quiet a few items - the KOKO Sushi roll was the highlight of our meal, followed by the Edamame and Truffle Money Bags and Dumplings. Definitely visiting again.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Asian has been my favorite cuisine since few months and Koko has been by far one of my best experiences! That's right, it wasn't just a meal, it was an experience to remember!
The service is 5* level. They are all so attentive and ever ready to meet your dining needs. It's just brilliant how they were able to manage even when the restaurant was completely sold out! Manish, Joy and Ravi made sure no stone was unturned to make out visit memorable. A huge round of appreciation for them👏.
Coming to the ambience, it was really well made up, loved the decor, the lights and the complete vibe of the place. Really fancy!
Now the food! They have a vast and extensive menu for both vegetarians as well as non vegetarians. Their latest Asian invention cocktails are all backed by a wonderful history and chemistry!
The desserts are powered by Ben Ungermann but unfortunately none of them where eggless.
Following are the dishes that we tried:-
Each and every dish was exemplary. Il mention what I liked about the dish. The list is loooong!
Salad:-
1) Koko San - a bit mild for our taste palate but damn it was organically colourful! Really healthy choice.
2) Som Tam - My all time favorite salad! And they made it so well on! On point I must say!
Soup:-
3) Tom Yum soup - It hit all the right flavours. Loved it. Surely try it.
4) Ginseng Edmame nutty soup - My personal favorite! It had hazelnuts in it! I mean have you ever tried a soup like that! Bet you haven't! Highly recommended.
Sushi:- All the sushis were excellent. Since Koko is by the same parent company as Foo, you have to completely trust their sushi making skills to give you the finest! Their chilli mango roll was the best of all! The touch of mango was surely alluring to the taste buds!
5) Spicy tofu maki
6) Shisoto tempura maki
7) Kappa avocado maki
8) Chilli mango roll
Dimsum:-
9) Cottage cheese charcoal - Pitch black charcoal dimsums stuffed with mashed cottage cheese! They tasted well too.
10) Smoked cheese and scallions - again something new. Having smoked cheese in dimsums! Never had something like this and totally loved it!
Rice:-
11) Edmame black rice - glutinous black rice tossed with Edmame! A must try main course.
Small plate:-
12) Spicy Nom Tak cottage cheese - Thin tofu like cottage cheese cut and drenched in spicy sauce filled with vegetables! A very different concept 👍.
Big plate:-
13) Sauteed asparagus,snow peas,spicy chopped chilli - long and tender asparagus and snow peas sauteed in spicy chilli sauce. Served as a perfect complement to the black rice.
Dessert:-
14) Hazelnut crunch - this one's from their regular menu. But I really liked it. It had tonnes of hazelnut presence to it and every bite felt like a real treat!
Cocktails:- Koko uses a combination of in house syrups, concoctions and liquers in these cocktails each backed by a wonderful asian story.
15) The leaf game - Koko herbal liquer(made of pandan leaves,shiso leaves,kaffir lime and mint leaves), pineapple saccharum(cordial), ginger syrup and their sandalwood tincture which is essentially pieces of sandalwood submerged in vodka for a while till it catches the flavour! Outstanding juxtaposition of nature with liquor!
16) Doucai - Koko chrysanthemum liquer,lime and lemon syrup, maraschino cherry liquer.
All in all it's evident from the enumeration how good evrytbing was!!! It's certainly a must visit place👍. Highly recommended 💯

KOKO - No need of Introduction. This place is class. Top Notch. Vibe/feel/ambiance/Energy. However they have introduced the new menu (July) some dishes from the new menu as under:
Nikkei (Non veg Salad) Subtle in Taste. Hamachi/Salman/Tuna being the main ingredients. Besides this they had a nice balance of Romaine hears/Iceberg. Yuzu Emulsion has that lemony/citrusy taste.
Karafuru (colourful) Simple yet classy with Truffle cream (aromatic) this had Arugula and baby Spinach some Sunflower and watermelon seeds, Carrots/avocado. Could have been better a tad soggy i guess. Tasted good though.
Mu try the spicy/tangy Tom Yum (Veg) had bold flavours. Cherry tomatoes and Lotus stem. Lovely.
Coming to Sushi - Koko Is known for their amazing Sushi. Small portions (1 Veg and 2 Non veg)
SHISOTO TEMPURA MAKI - Done well crunchy with shisoto pepper (Sweet pepper) with Yazu Causa and avocado cream. Non Veg - Hamachi Maki - this was a tad spicy they used spicy Hamachi/King chilli/Chia seeds and Kakidane (Rice cracker) which looks like red pepper a bit crunchy. Overall nicely compressed and balanced well. SALMON HARASU MAKI went well with crispy Quinoa and wasabi Cream.
Soupy Dumplings - ( this is Single serve ) Do try the Tom Yum Ji ( spicy/tangy ) which is vegetarian and if you love Pork the Iberico Pork ( Broth ) of both were good , layer/texture = full marks.
Small Plates - Crispy Lotus root (veg) Tangy/Spicy/Crunchy, Lotus stem made well with Mango salsa as the topping along with Chia seeds. Kept it simple. Tasted Yum.
Spicy Nam Tok Cottage Cheese - Normally they use Pork. Here the chef had made a veg version with Fresh cottage cheese with bold flavours using Soy sauce/ pinch of sugar/chilli flakes/Lime/shallots and onions. It's all about the sauce. Gives you that tangy/spicy taste. Do try.
Steamed John Dory with Broad Bean Chilli sauce was the dish of the day. Loved the texture/balance of the Bean chilli sauce. Melt in the mouth. Not spicy. Just perfect.
Mains - asked for tasting portions Veg we tried the Sautéed asparagus with snow peas with spicy chilli sauce. Comfort food. Went well with the rice served. Non Veg it was the classic CHILEAN SEA BASS with While Fennel curry (refreshing) subtle in taste (Lovely texture)
Edamame Black rice was good. Went well with John Dory Chilli bean sauce.
Ben Ungermann Desserts - Forrest Log Law (for me was bit of a miss) would have loved the Dark Chocolate without the Truffle in the Mousse. My partner liked it. Going by her word. This also had mushroom shaped Meringue and Hazelnut ice cream which missed the Hazelnut flavour.
Coming to cocktails - Leaf game was amazing Vodka (Absolute) with Koko herbal liqueur a dash of pineapple saccharum, Ginger Syrup (gave a good hit) Mint leaves gave the refreshing feel. Strong but good.
Doucai - Gin with maraschino liquor a bit of Abstine lime and lemon.
Overall - had a great time. Wishing you guys all the best. Keep rocking. Await the new opening this month. Cheers.
Loved the ambience and decor!! We had Soft shell crab maki roll sushi and can say it was one of the most delectable ones I had so far. Also, it was interesting to see the great spread of dips to go with it. Overall, loved the experience!!

KOKO is a Asian Gastro pub located at Lower Parel, Mumbai.
The asian cuisine gastro pub has a vast menu that comprises of soup, salad, dimsums, sushi, appetizers, mains and desserts.
KoKo has recently come up with a new menu that has some spectacular dishes curated by ace Chef Michael Paul (London), Chef Joe (Thailand) and desserts are crafted by MasterChef Australia Ben Ungermann.
So here is what I had from the newly introduced menu -
COCKTAILS :-
THE LEAF GAME -
Vodka based cocktail made with pineapple, saccharum, ginger, sandalwood and mint leaves.
TOM YUM CUP -
Vodka based cocktail made with ganangal, lemongrass, bird eye chillies and kaffir lime.
I enjoyed both the cocktails, the tom yum soup inspired cocktail was surely something new, I really loved the fresh lemongrass and chilli flavour coming through !
SOUP :-
IMPERIAL CHICKEN -
Soupy dumpling soup made with chicken dimsum submerged in soya broth.
The soup was served with a straw and it was a fun way to slurp it, it's broth was made using kikkoman soya sauce, that made it a tad salty !
SALADS :-
SOM TUM -
Thai raw papaya salad made with bird eye chillies, peanuts, cherry tomatoes, lime and palm sugar. Garnished with rice crackers.
The raw papaya salad was refreshing, loved the addition of light soya sauce in the dressing, even the crispy rice crackers was a fun addition !
SUSHI :-
SOFT SHELL CRAB MAKI -
Vinegared rice rolled with nori and soft shell crab tempura, served on a bed of korean chilli sauce with gari on the side. Garnished with spring onions, melon seeds and avocados.
The sushi was quite different, I loved the accompanied chilli dip, it went really well with the crispy crabs.
DIMSUMS :-
- SMOKED CHEESE AND SCALLION
- TRUFFLE WATERCHESNUT
- PRAWN LEMONGRASS
- COTTAGE CHEESE CHARCOAL
These exceptional dimsums had a melt in your mouth texture, their wrapper was made rice and potato starch and they came with a variety of dips like chilli oil, smoked burnt garlic and imperial sauce.
These accompaniments were also made inhouse and they made the dimsum experience memorable !
APPETIZERS :-
HAMACHI CEVICHE -
A cold platter of passion fruit and aji amarillo chilli cured himachi fish garnished with onions, cherry tomatoes and coriander.
Absolutely delicious, the fish was cured to perfection, it had a nice sweet and sour flavour !
MAINS :-
SHEMEJI MUSHROOM -
Japanese shemeji mushrooms tossed with asparagus and waterchesnut, seasoned in a indonesian sambal garlic sauce.
Simply amazing, I think it was the best selection of veggies, even the sauce was mild and not overly punchy, loved it !
TRUFFLE FRIED RICE -
Stir fried rice made with scallops, eggs and scallions. Drizzled with truffle oil.
The aroma of truffle oil in the fried rice was heavenly, scallops with the mild seasoning of white pepper uplifted the flavour even more !
DESSERTS :-
THE LAMINGTON -
Australian sponge cake layered with vanilla, garnished with coconut flakes and edible flowers, served with coconut ice cream and raspberry coulis.
The dessert was served with the jazz of dry ice smoke, the cake was really moist, loved the pairing of coconut ice cream.
Overall, I had a great time !
Each and every dish at KoKo is phenomenal !
High quality ingredients & Skilled cooking techniques food = Insanely delicious Food !!
Even the service is courteous and helpful.
Go try indulge - All over Again !
Surely the best place in town to fulfill your sushi cravings

The most amazing dish I tried was the Butterfly Prawns and that's why I put it up here.
One word AMAZING! I am a singaporean who loves dim sum, this is a whole different level.
We had Hot & Sour Soup, Scallop Dumplings, Duck Dumplings, Crispy Prawn Cheung Fun, Sio Bak, Lamb Croquettes & Portobello Mushroom with Truffle and Asparagus.
Nice place
Lovely interiors
Good service
Great food
One bad thing we ordered for kingfisher ultra and they say we have only one bottle.... Surprising a restaurant has only one bottle of beer..... Not acceptable
I went here with my family on my birthday....
I enjoyed the whole experience..
The Dimsums, The Baos, The Tofu, all were really very good.
We ordered for
1. Truffle Water chestnut n sweet pea dumplings (super)
2. Zhai Bao (super)
3. Asparahus n Shitake Cheung fun (nice) can be better
4. Zhai Cheung fun (nice)
5. Lemongrass thai clear soup (lovely)
6. King mushroom zucchni in lantern sauce( super)
7. Silken Tofu chili Black bean ( amazing)
8. Spicy fried rice lemongrass garlic
9. Jasmine rice
We all enjoyed all the dishes.... Nice flavours
Quantity of main course was good.
Place to visit surely
Restaurant of this class should surely make sure beers as well stocked up.... Not good to hear have one bottle only right...
Finally will surely recommended others also
Thanks
I cannot be more happier with the ambience and staff service. We tried the sushi rolls here and it was delicious. And I cannot get over the edamame, which is a must try.I now love Japanese cuisine coz of this restaurant.

Desserts- Every piece crafted by Ben Ungermann with the creative precision of making it a masterpiece.Must try- Forest Log Law & Lamington.Will come once again
awesome ambiance and amazing food, try sushi and money pocket...Malaysian curry was yummy... overall good experience.. stylish decor with lively vibe.
Went there on a Saturday night for a friends birthday dinner. The place has descent ambience and good food. I was really impressed by the staffs politeness and helpful behaviour. Ordered atleast 10-15 dishes. Just had a few of them so cannot talk much about the food,but im sure it must be good. I would really love to go there one more time and concentrate on the food there instead of chit chats. For now its a 4 star. Would love to review again.

ONE LINE TAGLINE – OUTSTANDINGLY EXEMPLARY!!
KOKO Mumbai (Lower Parel) has reset the standards of exemplary fine dine when it comes to Pan Asian Cuisine. Their recent new menu launch is not just out-of-the-world but a blitzkrieg of flavours.
The Chef’s Table dinner had an array of mesmerizing dishes, drool-worthy original cocktails and of course specially curated desserts by world renowned MasterChef Australia fame Chef Ben Ungermann.
A quick review without going into the intimate details of every dish (which I normally do):
Sushis – top-notch!
Dimsums – Orgasmically delightful!
Cocktails – Virginal untouched flavours, packed with the right punch
Desserts – Every plate is crafted with the creative precision of making it a masterpiece. Chef Ben has raised the bar for Mumbai!
Do try all the cocktails since they have a nouveau zing from the usual smoky flavoured concoctions which have stormed the market. Another must-try is the Soupy Dimsum, one serving won’t be enough. Rather than dwelling on each dish, I suggest you languish in the flavours.
A big thumbs up to Keenan Tham, his team for ensuring the service levels didn’t dip on the crowded Saturday night.
Coming back soon to feast, I barely got enough to taste. The memories surely keep oozing those flavours back to my palate.
Great job Guys, thanks for the wonderful evening.
I normally keep my reviews to the point n precise trying to help a fresher to that joint wheather or not to come .so here goes
Location: easy to locate and map on google, ample parking with valet(mumbaikars delight)
Ambience: perfect balance of poise calmness and young at the same time.
🔸best part being..AMPLE OF SPACE BETWEEN TABLES.
CANNOT MISS THE IMMENSE THOUGHT BEHIND THE LIGHTS HOWERING EACH TABLE😍😍😍😍
5/5
Staff polite, helpful, understanding of your choice, doesn't hurry, ( even on a sunday evening), delivers on time, always attentive, u veryyyy well versed with the menu, NO COMPLAINS
5/5
Food : for someone fond of dimsums.. Paradise
Also vast variety in vegetarian food too
Lovely tofu and veges
AND THEEE BEST(SUPERLATIVE DEGREE) OF MUSHROOMS! DO NOT MISS THEM!(If u like mushrooms of course😂)
In case u aren't excited about the Food , u surely will savour the desserts !
CHECK THE DESSERTS MENU FIRST, EAT ACCORDINGLY 😂 😂 😂 FOOD
6/5
ALL IN ALL ..FABULOUS! EXPERIENCE WORTH THE VISIT& COST!
Went for dinner.Great place for food and ambiance. Loved their baby mushroom and shrimps. Very prompt service, can be more mock tail varieties. Over all very good experience
Food is fantastic. I had Prawn Cheung fun (sorry Koko, but Yuatcha makes these better) but the braised pork belly was outstanding. The pan fried noodles (with prawns) were decent. A tip: Do not go on weekends because it gets super crowded and you'll have to wait despite table reservations.
A fine dining experience like never before,serving quality Asian cuisine at KOKO
We tried their KOKO Special Sushi - An exquisite dish, full of flavours and authenticity. Crisps on top truly enhanced the taste and added slight touch of crunch to the dish.
P.S- They serve the same dish in Jain.
.
We also tried Pan Fried Zhai Gyoza- they were delicious and mouth watering.
Best Japanese food I’ve had. Service was wonderful also and the food came quickly. Incredible choice of dishes that will suit everybody’s tastebuds at any time. Decor is amazing and the restaurant is very clean
The place is all that you would look for in a perfect Asian restaurant, be it the food or interiors or the ambience. But more than the place, it was the hospitality of Mr. Ashish Hegde which made the experience even more worthwhile and his courtsey and help will make you want to come again!

A birthday celebration, a decision made by the birthday girl , to celebrate at Koko’s, highly recommend by quite a few friends !
The little apprehension we have is dispelled by the wonderful staff & a lovely cozy corner ! We have around 3hrs before bringing in the birthday. It’s going to a very slow paced evening.
Chilled Hoegaarden , Kingfisher Ultra & Whiskey sour , take a back stage , once the food enrapture with some soul satisfying culinary dexterity. We begin with the Prawn Cheung Fun &
Lobster & caviar dumpling. The Wild Salmon & Truffle Sushi Roll has to be ordered since I need to break the Myth that the birthday girl has had forever , that , Sushi can only be eaten in Chilly Australia ! & Break the Myth, we do ! The last appetiser is Lantern Chicken followed by Malaysian red curry with chicken. Every dish had a story to tell , every taste bud rejoiced. The quality has not been compromised!
A sheer indulgence , which needs to be experienced , rather than described.
The evening ended with us bringing in the bday exactly at midnight , with a pastry of Koko’s choice & crown it with the Salted Creme Brûlée!
This review is incomplete without Thanking , Chef Eric & sous chef Pushkar for their effort in making every dish matter. Also - Vineet , Joy & Yahushan , for making us comfortable.
The party at Koko has just begun !
No number of words can do justice to the sheer awesomeness that is the food at koko. One of my most favourite dishes is the edamame and truffle moneybags. We order atleast 2 portions whenever we dine here. We have never had a bad food or drink experience. The truffle rice and the edamame black rice create fireworks on your palate and deserve special mention. As you can probably tell I love truffle and edamame. Their sushi and dim sums have always been incredible as well. The crispy prawn cheung fun is another favourite. Also cannot forget their black cod although we could do with a slightly bigger portion for sure.
Two of our favourite cocktails are the koko master and the tom yum cup. The latter is an innovative take on the classic soup and comes chilled and heavily spiked with alcohol. Absolutely love this.
I hope they include some interesting pan-Asian desserts in the future. I’m sure those will be as decadent as their amazing food.
Can’t wait to go back...again!
KOKO is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
The ambience , the service , the food and the cocktails are all a 10/10
Enough said !
I'll be going here again and again to try the entire menu 😍😍😍
How do I begin to praise this place .. had been here for my bday celebration with my girls..
Ambience is good .. vibrant
Service can be little more better but apart from that.. this place wins my heart
Sushi.. amazing .. the best sushi in town if I may say so.. many sushi joints also fail to impress my pallet ..but koko does it well..
Drinks are good .. a must visit place !!!
Awesome place for Asian food. This place serves delicious sushi and rice. The cocktails they serve is quite interesting. Ambience is good and music just right for Friday night. We had a great time.

The four star rating is purely for the swanky ambiance and interior of the place and the flawless service by the staff which made our lunch a really memorable affair.
The only pain point was the table next to ours which had a bunch of kids and their parents shouting all through the time we were there, which ruined our near perfect family lunch time.
Coming to food, with the exception of my brother, my parents and I do not have the appetite for authentic Asian food, but we came to Koko to try it out anyway, especially the Sushis - so please don't judge the place by my review if you are someone who enjoys pure Asian food
Food we ordered -
1. LEMONGRASS THAI CLEAR SOUP
2. KOKO HOT & SOUR SOUP
Both of the soups were blissful ! Relished every spoonful of it!
3. CRYSTAL DUMPLINGS - Me being a fan of street style momos, didn't appreciate it much, but it wasn't bad.
4. KOKO SPECIAL ROLL
5. CRISPY TATSU ROLL - both the sushis were nice, but we realized Asian food is not really our thing, so did not order for more :)
WAS THERE LAST WEEKEND WITH A FRIEND
THIS PLACE SCREAMS OUT - MOST AMAZING SUSHI IN INDIA.
EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD COMES AT A PRICE.. BE READY TO PAY THROUGH YOUR NOSE. PRICE COULD HAVE BE BEEN BETTER. NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE FOOD.
By far the best place for cocktails in Mumbai that I have been to. Energy of this place is warm and appealing. You will find the bar tender attending to all you queries and suggesting the right drink for your taste and mood. It’s a pleasure to see the art by which they make the cocktails. Their Sushi is a must try. Place picky up after 11 so if you reach early keep enjoying the drinks till the crowd builds up. Music is really nice and mostly something everyone will enjoy so there won’t be a dull moment. Must visit!
This place has a really nice ambience and very friendly staff.
I went for complete veg menu from below were my favourites: Guilin Baby Potatoes
Brocolli creamy planta bird eye chili
Edamame truffle money bag
It's a really nice and calm place to visit with your family and friends.
Went there for the last dinner for 2018. (Vegetarian)
Delicious food. Beautiful interiors. Value for money. A little weird staff.
Lemongrass Thai soup 5/5
Creamy edamame & corn soup 4/5
Turnip cake 3.5/5
Silken Tofu 2/5
Brocolli and water chestnut yellow sauce 4/5

Famous for Asian food and sushi, KOKO has always been on my list to try. We tried a variety of sushi and starters and loved the vibe here. Definitely worth a visit!
Undoubtedly the best Sushi in India, KOKO made me fall in love with Sushi indeed! Their signature California sushi is stately. The prices are on the higher end but go for their Sunday brunch,its absolutely Paisa vasool if you love ASIAN!
I went for the sakura brunch. Loved the food. There were so many types of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. Loved dumpling soup, edamame n sweet corn soup. Amazing sushi n dumplings. Wontons were out of the world. Overall the food was amazing. We were served by Mr Karam Kanojia. He was super sweet n did his job well. The whole vibe was super chill.
My first post Covid visit was a happy one with some old favourites and a few newbies on the menu. Fresh ingredients and great flavours make their sushi and dumplings easily the best items to go for.
Only thing - it is a restaurant, not a nightclub, irrespective of whether it is the weekend. The volume of the music was ramped up halfway through the evening, and we had to shout to hear ourselves, which spoiled the fun a little.
This is hands down, the best sushi I’ve had in Mumbai!!! The rice to filling ratio is perfect, seafood is fresh and delicious and the sauces or additions made do not drown out the fish at all!
The Forbidden Fruit dessert is a must try any time you go. It is rather big, so be careful when you order!
I have visited last week it's fabulous and it is special with it's tasty variety of dishes.
It has a luxurious dining too and it also provides with many international dishes too.
Worthy place 🙌
Koko Restaurant offers a culinary masterpiece with exceptional fusion flavors, impeccable service, and a sleek ambiance, making it a must-visit dining destination
KOKO is a stylish pan-Asian gastropub in Lower Parel, Mumbai, that serves creative cocktails, sushi, and modern Asian fare. The food is excellent, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is lively.
An absolute gourmet delight. This is the best dessert I had in my whole life. At this price point it's expected though. I cannot even start to describe the Euphoria I had while we tested each item, and it never got boring for a second. Their vegetarian dim sums are legendary. Now I did feel the dim sums were a bit heavy on the folding side, but I think that is the texture the chef wanted it to be. We got suggested a dessert, and I'll not tell you the name. Show the picture and ask for the exact same thing. You won't be disappointed. But fair warning, keep an open mind and experiment. This kind of thoughtful food are hard to come by.
Edit: Forgot to mention the in house beer. It's a blend of Rice beer with Hops and they have created something unique and tasty. My sister does not even drink beer and she finished half the glass🤣🤣🤣. Totally Worth it.

When it comes to standalone asian restaurants in Mumbai, I’m pretty sure KOKO is at the very top! Maybe Yauatcha/Hakkasan are of similar standards but this one should definitely be in your bucket list. Chef Eric Sifu who hails from Malaysia and brings in culinary experience from working in a Michelin starred restaurant (Din Tai Fung) in Singapore has done a fantastic job in creating an amazing menu. I with my 3 other friends had gone for the Sakura Brunch and it was worth every penny. Sumptuous spread (you name it they have it), groovy yet soothing music and the interesting decor of the dining room takes the experience to an whole another level. Coming to food specifically, Dim Sums were very expertly made (not the best in the city but extremely tasty undoubtedly), KOKO Signature Roll was a banger, Spicy Chicken Bao was the best one I ever had in my life, The staples/small plates were honestly very okkayish and finally the desserts were again big hits since they were reinterpretations of Masterchef Australia’s finale desserts. One suggestion is that the Sakura Brunch menu in terms of Dim Sums can be a little more well thought since mostly everything has chicken chicken chicken…More variety would be appreciated there in terms of filling. I guess more overall thought is required in designing the Sakura Brunch menu. But again since the menu changes from time to time, it’s a good thing. Service by Akash & the front desk lady who escorted us to choose the table was fantastic. Very professional and it seems as if they know how to do their job well. Overall it’s a great experience, with a lot of hits and very minor misses so I would still give 5 stars haha! Definitely going again when the menu changes.
Good, authentic East Asian food. The atmosphere is very welcoming, pleasant, and beautiful. Our servers, Aakash and Kanhaiya, were very cordial. The music is never too loud, which is a good thing. The signature dishes, dimsums and desserts are excellent. The noodles were not to my taste. Barring that, it was an extremely positive experience for me.
Nice location. Worth a visit. They even customised my dish to my liking

Interesting Japanese food, good service, on the pricier side
I went with my husband last weekend and I absolutely loved the sushi rolls and the dumpling soup. There are enough veg and non veg options. The place also has a nice vibe and a cozy ambience. I totally recommend the Sakura brunch they offer. Overall the whole dining experience was excellent.
Always best place for asian and great sushis.
Service at KOKO Mumbai is impeccable, with attentive staff who anticipate your needs and contribute to the seamless flow of the evening. The waitstaff's knowledge of the menu and their ability to offer expert recommendations further enhance the overall dining experience.
In conclusion, KOKO Mumbai
is not merely a dining establishment; it is a destination for those who seek the epitome of culinary indulgence. With its sublime ambiance, gastronomic delights, and top-notch service, this high-class non-vegetarian restaurant with a bar stands as a beacon of excellence in the realm of fine dining.
