The Hong Kong Aqua has a really special ambience. Unfortunately this doesn’t carry to London. The music here was so overpowering it was really hard to hold a conversation. Service was slow and a little dismissive. Food was ok, but nothing special. You might say it’s all a bit up its own ketsu.

Lovely roof terrace - much nicer outside than inside - the outside has lovely views and flowers everywhere - the inside is quite dark and clubby better for late dinners
Aqua KyotoResponded on September 3, 2024
Freya, we're thrilled you enjoyed the roof terrace! Your feedback about the ambiance inside is appreciated, and we’ll keep it in mind as we strive to enhance every guest's experience. We hope to see you back soon to enjoy those beautiful views again!

Very nice place with good food. We celebrated there our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. Only what I wanted say the black sesame fondant this time was extremely too sweet and had just chocolate flavour. Last time was delicious and I could feel sesame but this time unfortunately not
