"We once left a party because there was a three-minute queue for the bathroom, but we’re willing to wait in line for the noodles at Koya. This little corridor of a Japanese restaurant in Soho specialises in udon. Whether you go for hot udon in cold broth or for a tempura donburi that’s as crispy as it is comforting, you’ll be set for a seriously excellent and seriously affordable meal—we’re talking under £20. And if you’re heading to the theatre or want to grab breakfast before work, Koya works for that too." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
