Tabelog ratingKoho (虎峰) offers a unique interpretation of Chinese cuisine in the form of a theatrical, counter-style omakase. Seated at a 12-person counter in Roppongi, guests watch as the chef prepares a procession of 13 to over 30 small, inventive plates that reimagine Cantonese classics with modern European touches. The experience is as much a performance as it is a meal.
Reviewers consistently praise the technical skill and creativity on display. Signature dishes that appear frequently include a unique Beijing duck served with apple and youtiao (fried dough), a rich claypot of shark-fin rice (fukahire donabe gohan), and lobster prepared with either an américaine or chili sauce. Punchy starters like botan shrimp marinated in Shaoxing wine are also highlights. The beverage pairing, curated by a sommelier, is singled out for its thoughtful matches and generous pours of wine, sake, and beer.
The most common criticism is the brisk tempo; with so many courses, some guests find the pace can feel rushed. While the restaurant lists English-speaking staff, reviewers note that detailed explanations of the dishes are often primarily in Japanese, with limited English available.
Expect to pay around ¥30,000–¥39,999 for dinner. Reviewers in 2024–2026 commonly reported paying ¥22,000 for the seasonal omakase course, with beverage pairings bringing the total closer to ¥30,000. A shorter, later seating is sometimes available for around ¥13,000. Optional supplements, such as Shanghai crab or truffle, are often offered for an additional ¥3,000–¥5,500. For its quality, creativity, and performance, most diners consider it good value, provided you enjoy a fast-paced, multi-course experience.
