This is a cost-effective omakase. I recently found out about it, visited it on a whim, and left very satisfied! I was worried if it was okay to sell it so cheaply! They said they only take reservations at 6pm, so I just went around 7:30, but there was a table available at the right time, so I had a great time!

Course meals served without stopping❤️‍🔥 The store was moved to the basement and the space became much larger, so 4 people gathered together and enjoyed the food. Alcoholic beverages are cheaper than other stores, so you can try even things that look expensive👍

This is my first review of Koya. It's hard to make a reservation, but it's a restaurant I want to keep to myself in case it becomes more famous, so even though I've visited it more than 10 times, I'm writing my first review today. I visited with my friends and acquaintances, but today I visited with my parents. I was worried, but they really like it. The food is so delicious. ^^ Everyone who brought Koya has become a regular here. Fortunately, the owner said he will be moving to the basement level of the same building starting in March, so there are some reservations. I look forward to it becoming more comfortable haha.

Needless to say, the legend got bigger after moving from the first floor to the basement. The owner is the best.

I was really, really lucky that there was one table left, so I sat down, but then 4 more teams came and went away.. Reservations required.. Needless to say, the food was really delicious, and the owner was also tsundere-friendly. Every single piece of food was really delicious, and the owner even explained in detail how to eat it, so I savored it more than when I didn't know. It's a great place to go on a special day.

It's truly my undisputed #1 favorite restaurant. I don't want people to know about it because I selfishly want to know about it, but it's so delicious and the owner is so kind. How could I not write a review? I'm writing this with a heavy heart. This is my nth favorite restaurant. Don't hesitate and make a reservation!

This is a place that every grandmother goes to if she makes a reservation :) It would be great if sushi shari or seaweed were provided so that she could eat them, or if she could choose by paying an additional fee ㅠㅠ Or even just rice ㅠㅠ There is no type of rice, so you usually have to go straight to get in, so the only unfortunate thing is that I go there to drink on an empty stomach, but I can't drink even though I want to drink more... ㅠㅠ
