Legend has it that somewhere in Japan once lived a warrior Geisha, named NOYA. Born with supernatural powers, NOYA was entrusted to use her powers and warrior heart to protect the culinary secrets of her mythical people, the Kumaso.

 

NOYA was taught by Japan’s first samurai, Taira No Masakado to become the fierce guardian of the secrets of the Kumaso, and a formidable adversary to anyone who foolhardy try to uncover the mystery of the gastronomical arts of the Kumaso people.

 

NOYA had battles throughout centuries Far and wide to protect the delectable secret of her people, until she finally found solace within her Fortress of wonders where she’s been living since.

 

NOYA London is sharing the great Geisha warrior’s spirit and determination to protect the traditions and flavours.

 

NOYA London is serving dishes inspired by the traditional Japanese cuisine and exquisite Asian-inspired drinks. The restaurant is inviting its guests for a culinary journey to the feudal Japan where NOYA was born, trained and fought her battles.

Being a Pan-Asian restaurant, NOYA London cannot settle for just one country. Although, the menu is heavily inspired by  traditional Japanese cuisine, NOYA is offering the diverse and rich taste of all the different Asian countries.

 

What is a Pan-Asian restaurant?

 

While an Asian restaurant is focusing on the cuisine of a certain country or style, Pan-Asian restaurants are a fusion of all the Asian countries. The dishes are crafted and served using different methods, styles and ingredients from the most different locations with the aim to create innovative dishes and inventive flavour combinations never existed before while harmonising the flavours and respecting their origins.

 

Dishes at NOYA London Pan-Asian Restaurant

NOYA London’s main menu includes sushi, Robata grill, sharing platters as well as side dishes.

 

NOYA Maki Specials are the perfect example of a Pan-Asian restaurant’s menu. The ‘NOYA Special Lamb Maki’ for example, is a flavourful combination of Katsu Lamb, Korean glaze, sweet mayo and Aonori powder, while the ‘Crispy Crab Maki’ is an adventurous marriage of Japanese and Korean flavours.

 

The Robata Grill menu consists of the most diverse dishes and flavours. You will find Beef Noodle, Kushiyaki Chicken Skewers, Chicken Burger, Salt Dry Aged Rib-Eye Steak 250G, Vegetable Stir Fry Noodle and so much more.

The restaurant is spanning across 2,000 square feet and is designed to provide the most relaxing environment for customers. That’s why the décor is made from natural materials, such as rattan and wood to align with its cultural and culinary ethos.

 

YiQi is a brand-new concept in Chinatown London, featuring standout dishes and innovative cooking methods.

Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by a variety of seafood along with baskets of fresh fruit and vegetables. These are all available for selection and you can choose from a range of different cooking styles rarely seen in Chinatown:

 

Dishes cooked with ‘Sous Vide’ technique are vacuum-sealed and cooked at a precise temperature to perfection.

 

If you choose ‘Binchotan’, your dish will be cooked over Japanese white charcoal.

 

Dishes prepared with ‘Teppanyaki’ will be grilled or fried on a hot iron plate.

 

The cutting-edge menu is created by Chef Lum Wah Cheok who is known for his expertise gained at prestigious restaurants, such as Hakkasan and Yauatcha.

We tried ‘Bamboo Tube Rice with Chicken Curry’ which was made with a traditional cooking technique.

They slow-steam the rice within the bamboo tube to preserve the original flavour making sure each rice grain is infused with aroma and texture. Then they serve the rice while still inside the bamboo tube with either chicken curry, pork or seafood.

 

Their signature charcoal chicken wings were served in a stylish woven basket nesting on fresh leaves. The wings were big and juicy and served with lovely home-made sauce.

 

‘Pasar Malam Prawns Fritters’ is a hugely popular street food in Asia. They embed the prawns in some batter mixed with vegetables and fry it until crispy. A lovely snack to either start or finish your meal with.

 

‘Childhood Radish Ricecake’

‘Childhood Radish Ricecake’ is a traditional snack originating from Chaozhu in Guangdong. It was originally a street food sensation in Malaysia and later gained popularity not only in Singapore, but today it’s a popular snack served in many restaurants here in Chinatown London as well. It’s a nostalgic childhood snack for those grew up in Southeast Asia.

 

If you’re a lover of Asian food or simply love trying new flavours, YiQi is a must-visit in Chinatown!
