What MikeM962015 likes about Open Kitchen:
A unique experience, a limited menu but some high quality cooking, excellent presentation and food to delight the palate. The meal was exceptional value for money. The service was delivered with a smile and enthusiasm resulting in an enjoyable evening for all. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant and many thanks to the skilful students who train at this college. View all feedback. What rebeljenn doesn't like about Open Kitchen:
I found the menu limited and opted for the vegetarian dishes as I do not eat pork or fish. The vegetable soup starter was excellent. The bread was nice too. We both found the main dishes (salmon pasta and veg lasagna) to be bland. The desserts were alright. I had crem brulee. It was good. The staff were friendly enough and are in training as part of hoxton community. If they had better mains, I would go again as Marc... View all feedback.

I must say, the food was extremely tasty and the staff, including the servers, chefs, and cooks, made us feel very welcome.

OKN1 is a restaurant run by student chefs at Hackney Community College. While some reviewers had negative experiences with service and food, others were highly impressed. They were surprised by the high quality of dishes like scallops and chicken Ballotine and found the prices to be a bargain. Despite some rough edges, the food was consistently delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the staff, while in training, were friendly and attentive. Overall, OKN1 offers a unique dining experience and showcases the talent of young chefs. It's worth a visit to support these ambitious students.

Well worth working with the service of the waiting staff just a bit more, but the creations of the cook are amazing to see and enjoy.
