Quite unpalatable

We came as a group and was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately the sushi wasn't fresh, some were fishy. The worst part was a fly came through the door and I saw the fly flew by and went into the kitchen. And the chef appeared to be angry and we all thought he was going to replace the sushi. Moreover, three of my friends all saw the fly landed on the sushi, yet the chef continued to serve that sushi to us ?

Koyo refers to the changing of Japanese maple tree leaves as a metaphor for seaonsal. Koyo utilizespeak seasonal ingredients to create an Omakase experience by Chef Jay. We stepped inside this beautiful simple restaurant and quickly seated at the sushi bar by their friendly hostess. The gold tier Omakase consists of three otsumami’s, twelve nigiri’s, a temaki, and dessert. Each otsumami course is prepped with detail that you can taste. Rice is on point with the perfect seasoning. A miso soup cooked with fresh eel was served to clean our palate before dessert for a perfect experience. Reserve your spot on Resy and come taste Koyo!

This place has great reviews and for $155 a person we came in expecting to be wow'd. Sadly we were not. The fish quality is excellent however the presentation is very barebones - hardly any fancy creations. Also the pieces are quite small and they come with little rice underneath so that at the end we were actually still hungry. So yes, the sushi chef is excellent and the fish fresh and all of the basics are there but this was nowhere near a top Omakase experience like we had at some other places (for less money).

What an amazing experience! The chef is 5 stars and so knowledgeable.
Best Omakase in NY, period!I’ve pretty much tried every Michelin star (including Masa) Japanese restaurant in NY. They don’t come anywhere near the quality of food and service to Koyo. We’re here every month now. Hope they get a Michelin star soon!

Food was OK for the price. Nothing mind blowing, nothing too underwhelming. Uni quality was good. Miso soup was meh. The dessert was the most impressive part.

It's the restaurant I've loved for many years.The new Spring menu at Koyo is now available!There are two different Omakase menu priced at $90 and $155 .The squid in the sashimi is very smooth and tender. I really like the firefly squid with mayo sauce, and the uni is very fresh and sweet?Come enjoy the spring special?

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!

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.
