Koyo

An exquisite gem for a romantic rendezvous! The Omakase experience at this restaurant is nothing short of culinary poetry. Each dish, a masterpiece, meticulously crafted with the finest ingredients. The intimate atmosphere and impeccable service make it an ideal choice for a memorable Valentine's Day celebration. They also have a great Sake selection including some hard to find bottles!! Tons of five-star reviews are well-deserved; it’s a true gift to the senses!

Total scam. Ghost kitchen that does not deliver anything at all like advertised. Run way.

My wife and I have been coming here for almost 2 years now, so this review is long overdue. We've had 7 of their seasonal menus, some multiple times, and each one has been incredible. The ingredients are always fresh, and each dish is always so creative and thoughtfully crafted to match the season. The current head chef, Chef Wayne, and front of house/pastry chef JoJo are always friendly and attentive. Finally had a chance to try their patio menu and it was spectacular! The highlights are definitely the Koyo Bowl, and the creme brulee cheese cake. And of course no meal is complete without the Uni Toro Toast. Other places make their own versions, but none come close to this one.

Sort of a copycat omakase. I’m well versed into the omakase experience, from sushiko ginza to massa or noda. I’d say that Koyo is okay but not for the price point. You can get authentic Japanese omakase for 200 per person in NYC.

The chef and waitress were extremely accommodating / responsive. Compared to other omakasaes, beginning dishes weren't exclusively seafood - was interesting in a good way. Sushi quality was not too enjoyable. The flavor was lacking and tasted basic. There was no creativity, and only the fish taste was very prominent. Chef did not seem like he was interacting with customers, which seems to take away from the experience.

The food was enjoyable and on par with other omakase experiences I've had. However, the service was disappointing. Despite a 7 pm reservation request (which was confirmed via phone), we didn't start until 7:10 pm, and we had respectfully asked when our service would begin. But the server's explanation came off as condescending - basically telling us to be patient and implying as if we've never had omakase in the past. The chef serving the table next to us was rude, saying that they do not normally give out 7 pm reservations, suggesting we cancel if we wanted to. If they could not accommodate a 7 pm reservation, then why say yes in the first place? They made it seem like they were doing us a huge favor. For a $200/person meal, I expect better customer service. Also, the artificial smell from a candle in the back of the restaurant was off-putting and gave me a headache, impacting the overall experience. Food wan't bad, but I wouldn't recommend. There's better places in nyc.

Wonderful experience. I’ve eaten at least at 30 omasake places all over the country and I have to say I’m impressed. Each dish is made with precision with favors just right. Everyone was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I’m excited to come back and see new dishes.

I feel like I've had comparable sushi at stand up sushi bars in Tokyo. I had hoped to be seated by the bar. Table experience is not as great. There was a drinks/table station 6 inches away. Everything was delicious, gorgeous presentation. Omakase for 2 was about price of about half a ticket to Tokyo. Wouldn't do it again. With tax/tip it was 470 total.
