About MOI
MOI, the first in a series of innovative restaurants from the Login family, is a
collaboration between a father-and-son duo celebrated for establishing the globally
renowned patisseries, L’ETO. With a focus on seasonal ingredients, authentic interiors,
and unparalleled hospitality, MOI sets the stage for a fresh wave of culinary excellence
in London’s vibrant and dynamic food scene. This marks the beginning of a new chapter
for the Login family, bringing their signature warmth and artistry to the city’s dining
landscape.
MOI is a Japanese restaurant in Soho, offering an inventive fusion of Japanese flavours
with a modern, elevated twist. The eclectic team at MOI brings together a range of
culinary expertise, each skilfully showcased in every dish.
Led by the Executive Chef Andy Cook the kitchen embraces Japanese cuisine as a
canvas, highlighting peak-season ingredients and global influences to create dishes
that are both complex and inviting. Specialising in meats and whole fish cooked over
charcoal, MOI brings a smoky depth to its offerings, enhancing flavours with a
signature, refined touch.
The food is complemented by an eclectic range of exciting, uniquely chosen, premium
yet approachable wine, with a focus on natural and biodynamic; a craft beer collab and
a signature cocktail menu with emphasis on agave spirits, sake and accented by the
same Asian influences as the food.
Named with a nod to Soho’s vibrant culture, MOI, literally translated as a ‘bowl’,
presents a Neo-Japanese dining experience in a relaxed, stylish space where guests
can savour the atmosphere as much as the food for patrons to see and be seen.
