Koiya Japanese Express — Restaurant in Dublin

Koiya is the most...whatever Japanese place in Dublin. I say that, not out of rudeness, but just as a normal consumer.

They have a beautiful atmosphere, and I wish that carried to their food. It's...fine. Not great, not bad, just fine. Some Sushi I've had there was, decent, others I really personally didn't like. The Sushi menu is very small relatively, and pretty basic. The other stuff is okay. Serviceable chicken, steak, shrimp, fried rice, etc. Sometimes it lacks flavor, veggies are there with no real notable anything, and their yum yum is different. I didn't hate it, but it's not as good as others.

To me for the prices they ask, I'd much rather pick the other offerings from the competition. I'll still go here on occasion due to it being so close to my work, but otherwise, eh. It's just there. I perfectly understand why I did not go there for much of my life. I didn't miss anything special, nor did I hate anything there either. Most 3 star place I've...

Had a chicken bowl served in a styrofoam food container with cheap plastic knife and fork offered as the only option for utensils. No chop sticks available. Three compartment container, 2 for teriyaki chicken, 1 for rice. Zero vegetables. No onion mixed in, nothing green on the plate... like maybe a little broccoli? The food isn't bad, just uninspired. Great care to separate the kitchen from the dining room. Plexiglass seals the front of the restaurant from the cash register behind the counter and the kitchen. Masks are still being worn behind the counter. Food is passed out through a hinged opening in the plexiglass. But drinks and sauces were self-serve by the customer. Masks not required in the dining room (which is good in my opinion). The food came out quickly, was hot, and is inexpensive. Just needs a little love added like chopped green onions added to rice. Would also be nice if it were actually served in a real bowl instead of the...

This place is pretty cool. I lied this place is more than cool, it's wonderful. I love this place, I've gone to several high end Japanese places around middle Georgia and I've been disappointed with almost all of them after going here. For example I believe they might have some of the best yakisoba in the business, it's only competition being another restaurant running around Dublin. I truly feel the need to give the chef a kiss every time I eat some chicken yakisoba, truly I do. But the authorities got mad at me last time I tried that maneuver so I'll just have to settle for this. I love you Koiya, thank...
