Coco Ichibanya has just opened in London. With basic (non meal set) menu items starting at £10 (1,430yen) and most of the offerings priced at around £13 (1,900yen), that’s going to affect people’s perceptions of Coco’s as belonging in the fast food category.
My daughter is interested in going, but I’ll hold off and let her try Coco’s in Tokyo.
Today I ordered Chicken three ways (katsu, stewed, and fried) substituted beef sauce for pork as you get good chunks of beef (free choice), added vegetables, added cheese, bumped it up to 400g rice and level 6 spiciness. Ordered a side of rakyo as well. All in 2010 yen or £14. If you only get a basic menu item for £13, it starts to feel like a scam. Would likely skip CoCo in London and head to a pie & mash shop anyway.
