MOI is one of Soho’s coolest private dining options, with exclusive-hire space, a full venue takeover, a selection of Japanese-inspired menus and the option to keep the party going in hidden bar ROOM86, complete with DJ sets.
There are two main ways to book MOI for your friends, family or colleagues. The ground-floor dining room accommodates groups of eight to 14 around one table, with guests dining from the Chef’s Selection Menus alongside other diners. For something fully private, the Yutori room can seat up to 18 people around one table or 24 across two adjoining tables, or hold up to 30 standing for networking or canape receptions.
There’s a selection of private dining menus to choose from, all of which are multi-course and a set price. For example, you could start with edamame and moromi miso, wood-fired sourdough with whipped miso butter, crispy fried buns with cod’s roe and chilli crisp, and house pickles. From there, dive into Orkney scallop with green tomato and pickled seaweed, tuna tataki with karashi miso and grapefruit, A4 Wagyu tartare and seaweed salad with almond and chilli oil. Larger dishes might include an oyster and cauliflower mushroom skewer with yuzu gel, whole roast sea bream with sake beurre blanc, and 35-day-aged sirloin on the bone. Roasted potatoes with kosho butter and tenderstem broccoli with white soy yoghurt and almond accompany the mains, before a yuzu and meringue tart finishes the meal.
For standing events, there’s also a canape menu, with options like cod’s roe milk buns, crab potato cakes, shiitake tempura, beef korokke, spicy tuna tartare, lamb belly skewers, chicken karaage or hazelnut financiers.
What’s more, you can give your event something a little extra with wine and sake tastings, including bespoke three-pour wine pairings or an introductory sake tasting exploring brewing styles. And when dinner wraps up, guests can head downstairs to ROOM86 for cocktails, wine and DJ sets, without having to leave the building.
