Quick info
About Koryu
Koryu is a Japanese restaurant on Colchester High Street that takes reservations and runs table service across a menu built around sushi, ramen and katsu, with a separate selection of vegetarian options. The kitchen covers a broad Japanese range, from hand rolls and sashimi to grilled dishes, alongside donburi and side plates. A private dining room at the back of the restaurant accommodates larger groups looking for a quieter setting. Service runs through the main dining area during regular hours, with the team taking orders at the table. The drinks list pairs sake, Japanese whisky and beer with the food, and the room itself is laid out across the main floor and the private space.
