    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 low-intervention and biodynamic; a craft beer
    collab and a signature cocktail menu with emphasis on carefully sourced and curated,
    craft 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.

    wine, sake and craft spirits to curate and lead an exceptional beverage program that
    reflects MOI’s vision. This hands-on role combines creativity, expertise, and leadership
