Ikoyi Restaurant St. James's London Reviews from The Last Year
Food art to stimulate the senses and delight! A totally tasteful lunch
Coming in from the cold there was a very warm welcome. There was a very special cola to have with an excellent rum and order it with the one special large ice cube experience! Calm chefs and a beautiful flow of dishes presented in stylish ceramic settings.The layers of tastes in each course were exciting.
Visual gastronomic treat that costs quite a bomb
Three of us had a birthday dinner at Ikoyi in London’s St James’s neighbourhood a few nights ago. It’s a very small fine dining restaurant with two Michelin stars, helmed by Jeremy Chan, a Chinese-Canadian chef who apparently honed his culinary skills from his teenage years. I understand it’s a place that is usually fully booked, so we were really excited when we managed to reserve a table. Let me say this right at the beginning: as foodies, we truly enjoyed our “omakase” dinner. We oooh-ed and ahhh-ed often, because every dish was an explosion of flavours! Highlights were: 1)Smoked Sirloin & Shishito Pepper (everything went so well together, including the crispy little cracker-like cup that reminded me of the Peranakan kueh pie tee) 2)Mussel & Saffron Crème Caramel (visually pleasing with a vibrant presentation of ingredients, including a generous helping of caviar, to boot!) 3)Pigeon Suya 4)Turbot & Egusi Miso 5)Native Breed Rib, Roast Cep & Sauerkraut The names of the dishes do not do them justice, as there were actually so many more ingredients and elements in each dish. For instance, I enjoyed the little truffle infused brioche that was also topped with shavings of truffle. There were four desserts, including two main ones - Green Yuzu & Rye Amazake, and Black-Eyed Pea & Caramelised White Chocolate. While the former was a yummy sorbet, we especially liked the latter…partly because it was a dessert that incorporated another generous scoop of caviar and shavings of truffle! The service was professional, with staff giving a running commentary of all the ingredients they had memorised. But it was rather robotic at times and somehow lacked the spontaneity and warmth I am used to even at fine-dining restaurants. (Perhaps staff were trying too hard to remember what they had to say!) The menu was presented to us at the end of the meal, so we could confirm and/or recall what we had consumed! I am glad the birthday girl enjoyed herself immensely. But quite frankly, it would have been better if the VVIP dining area was not quite so near the door, despite the presence of a heavy privacy curtain. Also, while we caught the chef and team in action in their small open concept kitchen, it would have been more memorable to have met the chef after our meal. (The menu they revealed at the end actually had a final paragraph that said: “We are truly grateful to have your support, which allows us to do what we love”.) Including drinks, the bill came to a whopping £467 per person. (FYI, to make a table reservation, one needs to put down a deposit of £300 per person.) For the amount spent, it’d better be a very special meal for a very special occasion (for a very special person)!
This is a tough one.
As I am now living in Los Angeles since 1997, I have been eating West African and Ethiopian food for years. These cuisines are everywhere here. And they are delicious, and ancient, and complex. But they are also the food of the poor and cheap as hell. No matter how good the chef is at Ikoyi in London, or how "locally foraged" the leaves and twigs are that you use - the food you serve is still just simple Rice and Beans and a starving Chicken. What I see in this video are great authentic Nigerian dishes like Jolof Rice and Pounded Yam that are traditionally served as hearty portions in a plastic bowl at a curbside food stand on a noisy street, but now served here at Ikoyi as a dollop on a plate and then covered in caviar or truffle shavings just to make it seem high end. But it's still just beans and rice. It's still just yam starch paste shaped in a ball. If you walked up to a food stand on a busy street in Lagos and threw a handful of truffle-shavings on top of some local working-mans lunch-bowl of Jolof Rice & bean-paste-Moin-Moin, and then tried to charge him extra for it, he would either laugh or he'd kick the crap out of you. This stuff is street-food, it's family food, it's sacred traditional survival food that is delicious as it is - and no amount of Sevruga Caviar or Gold-Flake sprinkles is going to improve on that. It's just sad that those wealthy Brits need the permission of a Michelin Star before allowing themselves to try this cuisine. I've been to Africa many times, and believe me, the traffic sounds and the plastic bowl doesn't take an iota of the original flavor away.
Very disappointing experience at Ikoyi
Went to dinner at Ikoyi after seeing it featured in many places and had extremely high expectations. Overall, we were very disappointed with the creativity/quality of the food and the level of the service. When considering the price we paid we were expecting something spectacular, and we were very underwhelmed. At one point, we even considered leaving the meal mid-way through because the early courses were that disappointing. The highlights of the meal were the desserts and the meat dishes; although, the meat dishes were again not up to the standard of similarly-priced/rated restaurants. Can also see that a few reviews report back similar feedback over the past year, so maybe something has changed there recently, or maybe just an issue with the current tasting menu. One general warning for potential customers is that many dishes are quite spicy - this didn't bother us though since we like spice.
Great first stop in London recent bday trip.
Walking distance to Tralfagar Sq. Small intimate space. We loved most of what we had. Very distinct flavor palettes ..West Indies w a British mix. It gave us spice trade vibes lol. I was not expecting this at all. I will say some were liked and understood better than others. Enhanced our experience and Minds were opened. Thats the whole point right?

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
