Chotto Matte London

Chotto Matte sits on Frith Street in the heart of Soho. It serves Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei cuisine in a room that runs smart.

This is a loud, sprawling operation that leans into its high-energy reputation, unlike the quieter, traditional options scattered through the rest of the district. While the small-plate format often invites fatigue elsewhere, the sheer variety of the menu here keeps the pace moving. It makes sense for large groups who need to satisfy varied appetites, provided you accept that the room prioritizes theatre and volume over intimacy.
