Blending Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese cuisines, as well as a whole host of lesser-known delicacies from across Asia, Cocochan's broad spectrum of influences means it's not one for the indecisive. That said, divided into seven sections including soups, dim sum, sushi/sashimi and salads, the menu certainly has something for everyone. Starters include chargrilled green chicken cutlets with tamarind and date chutney, or Vietnamese pancakes with shrimp, avocado, mint, and coriander with spicy sauce. Main courses include a range of speciality dishes from Asia with a modern twist, including aromatic lamb strips with lettuce and chilli lime, caramelised sembal tiger prawns and aged beef strip loin with ginger, soy and gochujang chilli bean paste. Slick, attractive and dimly lit, Cocochan, which is in the heart of London's shopping district, was designed by L'Autre Monde and set up by one of the men behind Gaucho. A year-round terrace sits 20 while the ground floor covers 80 and includes some romantic snug areas where guests can get a little privacy. An adjoining lounge bar is open until midnight with DJs playing world music from 8pm.Cocochan: Full review in The Lowe Down
