Reservations · Outdoor seating

Scenic rooftop sushi spot with tablet ordering and AYCE value at lunch; great views and cocktails, but service pace and consistency vary and a minority report freshness concerns.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Koicha Room delivers solid neighborhood dining anchored by exceptional rooftop views of Como's cathedral and reliable sushi quality, but inconsistent service pacing and occasional execution lapses prevent a higher grade. The lunch all-you-can-eat format offers genuine value, though uneven delivery timing and quality variance across visits suggest this is a view-driven experience where expectations should be calibrated accordingly.

Restaurant Summary

Elevated above the shopping streets, Koicha Room feels modern and scenic with sweeping views of Como’s cathedral. Guests describe friendly hosts, tablet ordering, and rounds of cocktails, noting that "the terrace made the meal feel special." However, service pace can lag at busy times and a minority report inconsistent execution on a few dishes. The cooking leans classic sushi with some playful specials rather than avant‑garde fusion. Many diners praise fresh fish and value, especially the lunch all‑you‑can‑eat format, while others find certain bites bland or slow to arrive. Order smart, ask staff for suggestions if the tablet menu feels vast, and expect a view-driven experience as much as the food. Families do fine here: one parent said their child "devoured the dumplings," and the menu includes simple rolls and noodles. That said, terrace seating and strollers can be tricky at peak times. There is no kids menu, but straightforward options (edamame, dumplings, basic maki) make it kid-manageable if you keep choices simple.
