Kota Kai
Cornwall, Porthleven - Pan-Asian - Restaurant
*Following a refurb, Kota Kai has relaunched with more covers, a 'statement bar', updated interiors and a revamped menu including dishes from the Josper grill. Watch for a new review coming soon.*
Facing Jude Kereama’s acclaimed main restaurant, Kota, this second-string eatery is a first-floor space that feels a little like a loft apartment. A very long room offering good views over the harbour, it serves up a largely pan-Asian menu of popular favourites – say salt-and-pepper squid, tempura tofu, soft-shell crab bao, seafood laksa, vegetable ramen or chicken massaman – with one or two western interlopers in the shape of mushroom arancini, feather-blade steak or fish and chips. Drink cocktails or wine from £25.
