The best omakase I have had so far!! I came on the last
The best omakase I have had so far!! I came on the last week for their winter menu and I was so surprised. Every course was so fresh and the flavors were so compatible. They have seasonal fish which most places dont serve so that is already awesome. It is $175 per person which is expensive, however it is worth it for the quality of fish they serve. Everything was so great, the chef was so knowledgeable and masterful. The host was great as well, constantly checking up on us to see if we needed anything else. They also have a separate menu after your course is over before dessert if you want to try something else! I made my reservation the day of on a sunday night for the 6:00 and it was just me and 2 other guests, so very intimate. Definitely recommend!!

*Review reflects management*We hope you never have to encounter Koyo management. If you do, prepare to be blocked. My wife was booking a birthday dinner for me and we were looking to enjoy a lovely meal. We booked via Resy and it wasn't until the day of where we realized we booked the wrong restaurant and wrong location. We called and explained our situation to them. They canceled our reservation which resulted in a $150pp charge ($300 total). The lady on the phone was kind and told us to email their management. Once we emailed management there was little to no empathy or understanding. They essentially said, we have a small restaurant and rely on every seat that comes through the doors. Which we get and understand, but there has to be a middle ground, some basic understanding, and human kindness. They told us to email Resy, which we did and Resy told us to start an email with the restaurant. Which we did and then they never responded. We emailed them a week later to follow up and no response. Then she went to call them and her phone number was blocked! We were not malicious or had any wrong intentions we just wanted to resolve the conflict. We understand everyone's money is tight. We understand that there are many people involved in a restaurant that are relying on it for their livelihood, but to avoid and block her number?? That's pretty sad, shocking, and rude.

Cute small restaurant with good food! Loved the omakase and sitting on chef counter for the experience. WouldReturn.
Be the first to ReplyReally great experience here.
Had reservations for 5:30PM. Seated immediately. The host checked our coat. There were several courses of food. I felt like the food was enough for me for dinner haha. We went almost a year ago in the fall, and I don't remember specifically what we ate but I do remember that I was really impressed with all the food. It's expensive, sure, but I didn't feel like I paid more than I should have after experiencing the quality of the food, the people who worked there and the atmosphere. Wish them much success
Be the first to ReplyAbsolutely loved my experience here.
Came on thanksgiving day and sat at the chefs counter. The decor of the restaurant is adorable, very minimalistic but looks very classy. The food was incredible! We started with some non-nigiri items which were so unique and creative. The sushi was so fresh and the flavor profiles were just perfect! They were also very generous with the truffle and uni. They have a seasonal menu so I would love to come back and try another menu! The chef explained each course very thoroughly and happily answered all of our questions, you could tell he's very proud of his work as he should be! There's an outdoor seating area that is beautiful! It wasn't open when we went but they invited us to go take a look and take pictures. Will definitely be back and highly recommend this place!
Be the first to ReplyNice omakase spot in astoria.
Not very expensive, although there wasn't, ebi or eel sushi, it was good overall.
Be the first to ReplyIt was okay.
Not the best, some of the fish didn't taste fresh. Service was great tho!!
Be the first to ReplyWow! This place is such a fine dining experiment.
We had an 8 PM seating. This has an intimate bar seating for the dinner dining experience and a back room for regular dinner. This is not your traditional omakase exerience, which I love. Instead, we had the kaiseki fall menu (the menu changes seasonally which is exciting). I came here for a special occasion and did feel very special. The ambience was classy but relaxed and I felt very comfortable the entire time. We started off with some non-alcoholic drinks (moshi sparkling yuzu and white peach) and they were delicious and satisfying with the meal! Not too sweet, and fizzy - I'll be searching for these at home. We started off with the sakizuke which was an inventive and beautiful dish topped with uni and caviar. All of the small dishes were delicious and fun, from a fish soup you poured out of a teapot to the dessert, which was a squash tart! The omakase part was tasty (9 pieces of fish). I did also enjoy the uni, rice, and fish roe bowl at the end, but wish that the uni was not mixed into the rice, but rather, left in whole pieces. Overall, we had an excellent dining experience and felt comfortable and relaxed while enjoying our meal. In addition, this place definitely did not break the bank for the quality of ingredients. I enjoyed seeing the chef prepare food for other tables not at the bar seating and saw the love and care put into each dish.

Fav omakase spot of 2022! The chef's counter is an experience. There's a rotating seasonal menu with various non-nigiri courses that really showcase the chef's creativity. Love the vibes and the people there are kind.
Be the first to ReplyGood value omakase with lots of uni in every other dish.
The rice was very interesting and quite good - it looked brown due to rye but was not brown rice. We had the fall menu, and my favorites were the rice bowl with sujiko and uni, the salmon and mushroom soup in a teapot, and the torched otoro nigiri. The sakizuke had too much radish that overpowered the dish and covered the taste of everything else.The assistant chef needed to work on his skills though. The extra scallop nigiri we ordered at the end was very loose and broke apart, ruining the entire piece.
Be the first to ReplyIntimate setting, simple design, clean environment and
Intimate setting, simple design, clean environment and friendly service!My favorite were the toro, scallop, eel, abalone, razor clam, soup and snapper.Because it's omakase and it's luxuriously priced, we would come back once in a while for special occasions.

Be the first to ReplyLocated in Astoria, an upscale Japanese Kaiseki and Omakase
Located in Astoria, an upscale Japanese Kaiseki and Omakase combination that couldn't be more different than it's surroundings.Rounded down to 3 stars. Over half of the dishes were good. But some of the omakase pieces were a bit below average, and that's not something you can have in the competitive omakase scene here, especially at this price point outside of the city. Super creative dishes that rotate every season. There are two different chefs, one for cooked dishes and one for sushi. It did seem that we got the less experienced sous chef serving us that day, which kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. Though he was skillful, that's not what you expect when you're paying upwards of $200 for a meal. Akami was good for the 8 pieces of omakase, but nothing else was memorable. While scallop was used in the Chawanmushi, I would have liked scallop, golden eye snapper, and other essential pieces there. Highlights:1. First course, Sakizuke. Nori cracker with langoustine and uni was unique and showed the boldness of the store2. Chawanmushi. My favorite dish here, but ultimately a simple dish that many restaraunts have perfected. 3. Chutoro handroll. Was incredibly fresh and used expensive ingredients. Overall they were very generous with caviar and uni. Which were both standard but nothing exceptional. Some noticeable misses wer:1. The rice, which Jiro has claimed to be more important than fish. Also the quality of the fish was subpar for about half of the pieces. Tough, bland, and uninspiring 2. I watched closely as the Kaiseki chef cooked the eel. While it did have nice charring, it was severely overcooked and tasted like rubber. 3. The Abalone was a bit bland and overcooked as well, lacking bounciness and texture. 5. Miso soup. Nothing really stood out in this dish. The crab felt out of place and was not the right pairing. Something simple as miso cod or homemade tofu would have been much better. 4. Dessert. Worse than cake mix. The mirin-marinated pear had a few flavors that did not match very well
Be the first to ReplyBig fan of Koyo!! I go at least once every time their menu
Big fan of Koyo!! I go at least once every time their menu changes with each season. The menu is very creative and beautifully presented, with unique ingredients unseen in most omakase spots around the city. Gorgeous execution of dishes, lovely interior, the nicest staff... this place checks off all the boxes!

Worth the price, this is luxury sushi done right! Let me preface my review noting for 2, without alcohol, we paid $475 for omakase at the bar including tip. We got very lucky and were the only ones sitting at the sushi bar for our anniversary date night. It's a beautiful dining experience -- service is top notch, well informed, friendly, and the actual atmosphere is really charming and calming. Good chill music to vibe to, while eating some of the best sushi in your life. Simple menu, a seasonal omakase offering with some Uni add-ons if you want. The omakase alone was plenty filling for both of us! Also I just loved the tempo between each bite. Nothing felt rushed and I love watching the sushi chef create. The actual food and plating is just gorgeous! This is sushi that will make you want to chew more slowly, that's how good it is. I loved the variety of texture in the omakase. It really is such a fun range of fish and seafood to experience. This is somewhere I'd definitely go back to celebrate something major in life. And if I ever hit the lotto, this is somewhere I'd go every Friday.
Be the first to ReplyKoyo is a truly outstanding dining experience.
My initial reaction when I think omakase is "$$$ and need a slice of pizza after because I'm still hungry" but my husband wanted to try Koyo for his birthday and it was worth every penny. One of my top five meals of all time and we definitely didn't leave hungry. The space is intimate, ambient and chic and the service is among the best I've ever experienced. I was very grateful for the explanations and tips on how to best experience each dish because the presentation is very creative and I didn't want to miss any of the unusual flavor combinations.I'm not an omakase expert by any stretch so I'll say each dish was fresh, inventive and really delicious. They were also all really different and incorporated countless flavor combinations. I live for dessert and I was not disappointed. The butternut squash custard topped with chestnut and maple was the perfect finish to the fanciest fall dinner. My husband loves uni and I love toro so we couldn't resist the uni toast, and it was a worthy splurge for both of us. I highly recommend Koyo for any special occasion (or night out if you're a baller like that ha). I definitely hope to return to try a menu for another season.
Be the first to ReplyNice and quiet sushi spot.
Everything was top quality and the server was very knowledgable. I was worried that this might be one of those gourmet places where you still need to eat dinner afterwards, but they certainly give you your money's worth with lots of courses.
Be the first to ReplyMy favorite omakase spot.
Superb dining experience. Host was very knowledgeable and friendly - explained each course as it came out. Flavors are deliberate and well thought out. The ingredients selected are high quality. Food presentation is minimal & elegant. This can be an expensive dinner with sake (Our bill of 3 people came out to $780) however it was worth it for the experience!
Be the first to ReplyOrdered a takeout.
The package is very delicate and foods are elegantly arranged. Love the uni which is so sweet. Chirashi Don also has nice salmon and tuna. I am not that into some salted fish or roe though. Unagi Don is also good. But pork belly has too much fat that you will feel creamy very soon.Overall this is a good Japanese restaurant offering takeout in LIC.
Be the first to ReplyKoyo is one of my favorite japanese restaurant to go to
Koyo is one of my favorite japanese restaurant to go to when I visit new york! I was there before when they were Gaijin and the food is still amazingly delicious. All the ingredients are top notch and fresh. We came as a party of 4 and had ordered 4 omakase, each time the server would bring our food they would explain to us what the dish and called and enlighten us with where the dish came from. Love that about this restaurant! The boba dessert portion was super delicious! Koyo is a must go sushi spot to check out if you're in New York!
