This place has the typical Japanese setup, with the standards of an Indian fine dining place. The ambiance, the fragrance, the music and the wonderful people add to this.
As we entered Kofuku we were greeted by the staff in the humble Japenese way. There are two types of seating arrangement. One is the normal restaurant style and the second one is the traditional Japenese low to ground table style of seating. Of course, we choose the traditional one.
We started with welcome drinks and salads. The citrus-based drinks Ume blossom & Gari Shoga were perfect for the summer heat. Ume blossom is a refreshing sweet & sour drink made of Plum (Ume), lime juice & sugar syrup with a pinch of salt while Gari Shoga is pickled ginger in lime juice sweetened with sugar syrup. We usually skip juices and mocktails as they are too sweet for our taste but these ones were just perfect for our liking.
For salads, we tried the Tofu Salad. The tofu was too soft and fresh, the Soybean curd and sesame dressing made it just perfect. We also tried Horenso Salad which was again fresh and flavourful. I was never a fan of spinach, but the Horenso salad with blanched spinach in Dashi sauce dressing just changed my mind: P
Following the salads, we tried the famous EBI Tempura which is crispy tiger prawns served with Dashi Sauce. The Ebi tempura was so light and crispy, while the dashi sauce added a flavor outburst to it. Seafood is our favorite and we just loved the tempura.
The Yakitori chicken was exactly like what we get in Japanese Izakayas (small pubs in Japan), freshly cooked and filled with the flavor of Yakitori sauce. While the food quality and taste reminded me of the food I had in Tokyo, the ambiance reminded me of the food joints in the alleys of Shimbashi where one would go to have a quick bite or for a detailed meal along with some drinks after work.
After yummy starters, we were waiting for the Sushi. We had ordered for the Chef's selection of assorted vegetarian Sushi and the signature non-veg Sushi, the specialty of Kofuku, the OMG Sushi which is the Chef special here. While vegetarian Sushi with Shitake Mushroom was good, the hero of the day for us was OMG Sushi. Laks ain't a Sushi lover and she loved the OMG Sushi and was like "If this is the Sushi you told me about, then I love Sushi:D ". OMG sushi had salmon, tuna, yellowtail & avocado with chefs special sauce which created a burst of flavors. ( I'm craving for OMG Sushi while writing this :P )
While we were still trying to come out of the heavenly taste of OMG sushi, there came the Miso Ramen Noodles. The flavorful Ramen bowl which had miso dashi broth with seaweeds is one of the best I had in India. We wanted to try Chicken Teriyaki, Man! the grilled chicken cooked and served in Teriyaki sauce was outstanding. We had also ordered Kakuni Pork which basically was the Nagasaki style pork belly stew and my my my the pork was super tender and cooked to perfection. The stew was too good that I drank it all :D
We were going through the situation Where you think your belly is about to burst but you are yet to start with the ice cream. Well, it was Green Tea Macha Ice cream and Oh buoy! I had trouble finishing it but tasted so good for me to abandon it. The food was the winner on our lunch date while the place and people added to the happiness.
Kofuku has a terrace where they host wine tasting evenings every month. Japanese food is not the only specialty of this place, they do serve great Korean food too.
PS: We have been told that most of the dishes cooked in Kofuku are made out of raw materials that are imported, mainly from Japan. So that's the reason for the authentic flavor. Never go to a place which serves cheap sushi or unhealthy pork, this is the key winning point for the tasty dishes at Kofuku. The salmon & tuna used in sushi are from Norway while the pork used is from Belgium.. Some things are good when imported.
We would highly recommend Kofuku to you guys if you are someone who loves to try different cuisines other than Indian.
Best place to get yourself introduced to Japanese food. Must try spicy Ramen noodle soup and teppanyaki fried rice.
It's a great hit to try Japanese food. The ambience of the restaurant is amazing having a relaxed atmosphere and table setup.
In terms of food, tried the Miso soup with was nice and authentic. The Sushi platter is a must have and is actually really good. Also tried their version of dumplings, very different but extremely good. Forgot what it's called. The main course dishes of fish and lamb were good, nothing exceptional but worth the price. Their green tea ice-cream was average, nothing great.
It's a must try restaurant if you want to try Japanese food.
Went here for my two year anniversary and loved the place. The entire ambience is very japanese, and the food is amazing. The staff is extremely professional and courteous. They also don't bother you too much. You can just call them with a bell when you need something. We ordered Asahi beer, which is really good. We also ordered yaki tori chicken, tonkotsu ramen and oh my god sushi. I loved all the food. The sushi was very good quality and creamy. The tonkotsu broth was very well balanced, though I'd have liked if the egg was soaked in soy and only half boiled. But I'm not complaining too much as it is hard to come by decent japanese in Delhi, anyway. Overall, we had a great experience.
Long queue and wait time. Even after a wait time of hours you can’t expect a better sitting place. Quite disappointed :-( . People go there for the ambience too and doesn’t expect a table near kitchen where half of the time one get a noise of cutlery and plates .
We had a lovely dinner here.
The staff is courteous and doesn’t intrude every second, we ordered the sushi platter, ramen ( shin & shoyu), japanese curry ( chicken & pork katsu), mochi ice cream and dorayaki
The sushi and ramen are recommended and will definitely order again
The japanese curry was lacklustre, pretty bland but again japanese curry isnt meant to be as flavorful as Indian curry so if you cant handle heat this is a good option.
The mochi - ice cream ratio was not good. The amount of mochi was very less. The same with the dorayaki. The icecream was too overpowering and overtook the mochi as well the dorayaki ( which should be the highlight of the desserts)
Overall 4 stars
It is always a pleasure to come to Kofuku. The food is excellent, the staff is very courteous and warm, especially Bishal, Uzu and Joey. The service is always good and the ingredients and food quality is fresh and top notch. Would always recommend it for an authentic Japanese food experience.
An absolutely amazing experience with some really magnificent food and a really nice atmosphere. The portion sizes are large and the Seafood hotpot we ordered easily fed a family of 4. Our absolute favorite dish was the prawn okonomiyaki and I recommend it to anyone visiting Kofuku.
Great place for Japanese cuisine with a good relaxing ambience and polite and courteous staff... Tried their Japanese Katsu Curry Rice and Seafood Hot Pot which was good but not really upto the mark... Could have been better. Their sushis were amazing but. Will be definitely going again to try their other Japanese dishes in the near future
Amazing experience and delicious Japanese foods!
Their wasabi is the best in town. Staff was really good and the place was really clean overall it was a delightful experience 😋
We've been looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant and found Kofuku. The restaurant itself is situated on the ansal plaza and is tastefully decorated. If you're prepared to pay a little more for your food and appreciate authentic Italian cuisine, this spot is for you. The workers are really beautiful people. Now to the meat, which was excellent!!! Wonderful and tasty Japanese food.
Well well before I started jotting down anything let me just say - こんにちは KONICHIWAAAA !!
I visited this place 2 weeks ago and this was seriously a very peculiar experience. The ambience was very calming and soothing. About food, well we ordered dim sum and ramen soup and I must say I was blown away. The dim sum was very gooey and juicy. Same was the ramen, soupy and soothing !!
Staff was very courteous and enlightened us about the product as well. Without their guidance we won’t be able to select our dishes.
Overall experience - Just need to work little bit on the service apart from that everything is bang on !!
This was an amazing experience for me. We ordered kimchi jigae, yache kimbap, gyoza, and corn fritters. All of them tasted great, except the gyoza. The pan-fried dimsums was not my taste. The environment is really nice with clean tables and utensils. The staff is quite friendly too.
The coolest Japanese spot! The food rocks, and it comes super fast. The place is spotless and neat. It's totally my go-to in India. Heads up: Google Maps got it wrong. Kofuku isn't near Macdonald's.
How was I unaware of this restaurant until now? The private dining rooms are incredibly cozy, offering a menu featuring unique dishes not found elsewhere in Delhi. The service was impeccable, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. My highlights were the shrimp cheung fun, shrimp tempura, japchae, chicken katsu, and sushi rolls. Ankur, the manager, was exceptionally friendly and attentive to our office outing. I'm eagerly looking forward to returning to sample more delectable dishes and will bring more friends so they don't miss out. The only thing missing is a KTV next door to continue the party. 😄
I am sharing this amazing experience of authentic Japanese cuisine by the name Kofuku in New Delhi. This restaurant will take you to Japan with there food and ambience.
Thank you Kofuku for giving such a beautiful experience ❤️
The food is amazing!! The ambience is great and cozy because of the privacy. The miso ramen is great. The soft tofu could be better tho - I like the soup thicker and egg runny not overly done. I enjoyed the place tho
Been here twice, loved the food and experience. Would recommend. However, I wish they added an option of half serving in mains. Sometimes I feel like trying more things but they serve a large portion, which my appetite isn't large enough to accomodate it.
Cherished our visit to Kofuko along with my friends. Staff was courteous and helped us in every possible manner to help us understand what might the delicacies be offering us in terms of taste and ingredients. Awesome ambience with a fusion of bamboo artwork with Japanese traditions alongside the cutlery being served.

Kofuku located in Ansal plaza mall, ground floor. Went for a dinner, we were 5 people in total. Review for the same is as below:
Ambiance: The mall itself is not that great but the restaurant once you in it is quit nice and ambiance gives a authentic Japanese experience. We were 5 people and got the cabin with floor sitting. The same was a good decision and the experience was very nice. You have to take off your shoes to sit in the cabin.
Service: The Staff is very helpful and polite. They recommended few dishes which were really spot on. The table has a device on which you can press and get service. Service is fast.
Drinks: We had beer kingfisher ultra they have only big bottles, enso whiskey which was nice and in soft drinks coke and ginger ale. In mock tails we also tried the guava jalapeño sting which was nice.
Food: We tried a lot of things
Starters:
HORENSO SALAD which is spinach salad it comes as a sushi shaped but you need to use the chopstick to open it up, it was ver nice.
SPICY EDAMAME, this is one of my favourite dishes as it goes so well with beer.
AVOCADO CARPACCIO, this is veg avocado dish for me this was not too great the textures of avocado is too soft as per me.
YAKI GYOUZA - PORK, this was super yummy the gyozas were juicy and filled with flavour. A good pick as per me.
TOFU STEAK, this dish was veg and I usually don’t like tofu, but this dish was very tasty. A definite try, we liked it so much we ordered another portion of it with main course.
CRISPY PRAWN CHEUNG FUNG, this was one of the best dishes we had. The prawn was yummy and texture was crunchy and juicy. This is a definite try if you visit this place.
GRILLED ASPARAGUS PORK, the dish was decent though I didn’t find anything wrong with it but the portion size of it was a bit small as per me.
In the main course we ordered:
YASAI CHAHAN - VEG, which is basically Japanese fried rice, we ordered another portion of tofu steak with it.
TEPPAN YAKI FRIED RICE PRAWNS, as the name suggests this was tasty and the prawns were really a good option.
KAKUNI PORK, this was pork belly with a bit of gravy covered with a fried egg on top. It was a nice dish.
The food overall was very nice and authentic.
Cost: Our meal for 5 costed us 10,250INR which turns out to be 2000 per person for the experience and quality of food and service was ok as per me. This amount also included service charge and cost for alcohol 2 big bottles of beer and one small whiskey.
Overall a good place to experience Japanese food. Do make reservations if you want to get the cabin sitting which elevates the dining experience.
Love the food! Try the special cocktails, especially liked "Mary went to Japan" - Japanese twist of the "Bloody Mary"- spicy and delicious . Also try "land of the rising sun" .
Saki Maki Sushi was delicious . California Roll is also a favorite .
Didn't quite like the egg roll as it was bland . Otherwise super happy with the food . Ambience is good too. Will recommend this place for anyone wanting authentic Japanese.
