Everything was hot, delicious, and fast! The service was quick and friendly.

Ordered hibachi tuna and emphasized that I wanted it rare , thinking it would be cooked like an ahi tuna steak. I got overcooked cat food, flavorless fried rice and what looked like precut veggies from the nearest grocery store. Luckily, I ordered Miso soup (the only positive of the meal.) Do not be deceived by the low prices, you get what you pay for!

Disappointed.
I've had food a couple of times from they're food trucks, and it was amazing.

My wife and I decided to go to the 1st Ave location for dinner last night , 9/26/25, to start off our anniversary weekend.
We got there around 7:20 pm , they were busy, so we were understanding. We ended up getting sat at a table by the bar area. We waited for 20 mins waiting to be served to be told we were sat in the wrong location. And we relocated to another table.
Which then went on to wait another 20 mins before we were even greeted by a server.
They looked annoyed, people that came in after us were severed before us as well.

When finally got served, we ordered an app and a cup of soup. Ordered our food as well with some fountain drinks, which ended up being flat.

We got the Gyoza ( the pork dumpings) , which were cold in the center, and my wife never got her soup.

Main food came out, which was the last time we saw our server. The main food was ok.

We were wanting to leave, I started feeling unwell, server would never stop, even when politely calling for them. So i got up and walked up the cashier so i could just pay and leave.
Since they never would come back to the table.
They took the soup off since it never came.
It was a terrible experience for the eating at the restaurant. Left a tip, but probably shouldn't have.
Proceed to get sick in the bushes as soon as leaving then building.

Disappointed due to the fact the food truck was a good experience, but the actual restaurant was terrible.

Will not be returning.

I have literally never had a bad experience or meal from Coyles. The food is always very good and the staff is always friendly and professional. The dining area and kitchen is always very clean. Theres no where else in Cedar Rapids I would rather eat to be completely honest.

I love it here. The hibachi menu is a great deal and all of the sushi I have tried has been very good. They will happily customize your experience if you just say so.

My girlfriend and I had dinner at Coyle’s and started with sushi — one Iowa State roll and one Lion roll. Both were flavorful and enjoyable; we’d rate them an 8.5 out of 10. For the main course, we ordered the vegetable hibachi and the chicken and scallop hibachi. These dishes were just okay — the scallops were a bit chewy, and the rice didn’t taste quite right. The yum yum sauce helped cover some of the flaws. We’d give the hibachi a 6 out of 10.

That said, the portion sizes and prices were solid, making it a good value overall. Service was also good, however, for some reason they had Africa by Toto on loop. I’d definitely come back for the lunch special, which includes two sushi rolls with soup or salad for about $15. I’d recommend giving Coyle’s a try. Overall, I’d rate the experience an 8 out of 10.

My husband is on a gluten free diet and of course its really tough to go to restaurants but our waitress was super helpful and she looked at the ingredients for us and had the chef left out the ingredients with wheat for him. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back!

Coyle's is by far my favorite Japanese resturant in the area! Since living in Japan and coming back to the states, it has been hard to find any enjoyable Japanese cusinese but this resturant really hits the spot! I come here regularly as well as to the food truck when I can! Last night I went for my 30th birthday and I had the best time! As always, the staff was very kind and patient with me and my family as we have young kids (we had two families with small children last night as well.) They also made sure my night was special and I truly cannot express how much I appreciate them!
