Our first visit to Chotto Matte was an unforgettable sensory experience that began the moment we stepped through the doors. Greeted warmly by the reception staff, we were immediately drawn into the vibrant ambiance—splashes of color, alluring lighting, and mellow DJ beats created an atmosphere that felt both sophisticated and inviting. Our server, Alice, was exceptional, her knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm enriching our experience. We chose the Nikkei Menu Deluxe ($175 per person, with an optional wine pairing) and were treated to a carefully curated array of dishes: Shishito Peppers, Yellowtail “Nikkei Sashimi,” Toro Nigiri, Dragon Roll, Jumbo Shrimp Tempura, BBQ Huacatay Broccolini, Tentáculos De Pulpo, Black Cod Aji Miso, and Australian Grade 8-9 Wagyu. Each dish was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and executed with precision. The freshness of the ingredients stood out, while each bite offered a delightful complexity that reflected the restaurant’s fusion of Japanese and Peruvian influences. Alice took the time to describe each dish’s unique elements and frequently checked in to make sure we were enjoying every moment. Her attentiveness, combined with Hassan’s (the General Manager) thoughtful hospitality, made us feel well cared for throughout the meal, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Chotto Matte is a must-visit for anyone looking for a dynamic dining experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Food and venue amazing but only later was told by my partner how our waiter George K was hitting on my partner. Made comments and winked at her. Unacceptable behaviour! And this on her birthday celebration. Intend to call manager of the restaurant in the morning.

We enjoyed a pre-concert dinner at Chotto Matte on a Tuesday evening. We have eaten here a few times before and it did not disappoint. Staff was friendly and service was efficient. We focused on the sharing plates and they were excellent. Beautifully presented with great blending of different flavours and textures. Highly recommended!

Service was great, however the quality/presentation of the cocktails has certainly gone down from what it was over a year ago. As well the changes to the food menu felt a little underwhelming. Music was a bit too loud for 12pm lunch IMO.

Amazing atmosphere! The food was very tasty and great for sharing! We celebrated my friends birthday and felt so special from the moment we walked in until we left! I also loved the vibe of the music and dj on a Friday night! I'm very happy with the experience and service!
