Zoka

A note of appreciation to the F&B team at Zoka for a memorable birthday lunch gathering. Credits to the chefs for the scrumptious meal and for recommending the right portion sizes. Thanks to Abraham for looking into our requests and coordinating in a timely and courteous manner.

The service and the variety of food presented to us was so good! Really tasted authentic Asian cuisine. The staff were very cordial especially Arjun and Sanju Would definitely recommend this restaurant

Good food, super service. The Teppanyaki grill was fun to watch.
Needs to expand more on the mocktail front. Though they do improvise.
Sushi is awesome!

Hands down the best asian food I have had! Sushi, soup, started, the noodles - even the drinks - incredible experience. Being at Crown Plaza, the ambience is spectacular and the service equally matches with it. A perfect date night for us!

Really good experience! Me and my group of friends have never tried the Teppanyaki grill and we wanted to, but did not even have any idea on where to start. So we asked the restaurant manager to kindly help us understand the different options and what would be the best choice to go for. This is where it surprised me, Mr Saurav took the time to explain things to us, and we truly felt like he cared to help us understand the cuisine better! Really good job here, so we had the Salmon Sushi and the Teppanyaki grill pack, the items were - Garden salad, Miso soup, Grilled prawns (really huge ones), grilled chicken breast, Fried rice, grilled salmon and ended on a high note with Matcha tea. We did order two mocktails too, which were really good as well.
Would definitely come back not only because of the great food but also for the helpful attitude of everyone there. Chef Raju is very capable of handling the cuisine well and we were helped by Mr Sanju, whom you should definitely ask for! '

This venue was our final dinner option before we flew back to our residing countries. We were super hyped to try their Teppanyaki set menu which obviously costs $$$$$$$. The hopes were so high given this is Crown Plaza and it's Kochi.

To our fate, our expectations were crushed by the ignorance and lack of awareness of how a Teppanyaki needs to be prepared.
The cherry on top was the gap in communicating we could choose our sauce base as every single item tasted of Soya. The salt level was so high that my niece was so hyper through out the night like a bulb that had the world's energy sucked into it! Also the waiting time for our dishes - too long. We are very patient but with Teppanyaki comes a smooth process of freshly made dishes that are served right away. Waiting time per dish was 15 mins. Also imagine cooking seafood that long, they were stronger than Michelin/Bridgestone tyre.

We obviously communicated our concerns in a kind manner. There is a huge gap in communication plus a huge gap in understanding the basics of Teppanyaki. Please train up your chef as this is a star hotel and let's not ruin standards for yourselves.

Flip side - desserts were delicious and they offered a 10% discount.verdict: Teppanyaki - "don't do don't do"!

Zoka was a good dining experience, the ambience was good, the food was great and the service was excellent.

Beautiful ambiance, absolutely mouthwatering and authentic food, best Asian Cuisine in Kochi.

Zoka is one of the best pan asian restaurant in kochi. Dim sums were awesome. Sanju helped us with the best choices from the menu and his service was excellent. Overall good ambience, very good service, friendly environment and tasty food.

The service was amazing
We got a guy his name was Govind and loved the way we were treated

Dinner date with my wife where we sat at the live grill station and it was absolutely phenomenal. Mr Govind was as entertaining as the delicious food. Special thanks to sanju and Govind for the excellent services. Great experience through and through

Zoka is the best pan Asian restaurant you got in Cochin. Everything from hospitality to the flavour is amazing. Deciding to celebrate our anniversary here was totally worth. The food was top notch. Sajana, Rakesh and Liza just made sure we had the best time during our special day. Highly recommended!
