You will definitely like everything they serve. Extremely well thought through and definitely tasted to perfection. You may not like what they charge (rather steep for what they serve). I didn’t like the oversell of extras after the $500 per person fee plus drinks plus tax and tip. My friend said I am hungry at the end and they do not have anything extra to serve even if you are willing to pay.

Intimate, fun, outstanding service, mind bending takes and outstandingly fresh fish course. Please forgive my reduction to absurdity: The chicken soup was a standout, the Steak and Cheese Sandwich was amazing. To be clear, this was not exactly chicken soup or a steak sandwich, but highly elevated and eminently playful. I was absolutely blown away by the citrus and vanilla Mezcal foam caviar dish. Never had such a bold and eclectic combination worked so incredibly well together. Top notch.

Nestled in Tampa Bay, Koya stands as a culinary jewel, offering an intimate and elevated omakase experience. The setting is a serene, immaculate space centered around an eight-seat curved bar, where every guest has a front-row view of the chefs’ precise artistry. It’s both a captivating performance and a gastronomic journey. The team of four chefs honors traditional Edomae sushi while introducing subtle, exciting innovations. Each piece is a revelation, from a sublime Hokkaido scallop adorned with yuzu and Maldon salt to perfectly seasoned Koshihikari rice and vibrant notes of fresh wasabi and ponzu nikiri. The pacing, the presentation, and the personal interaction all contribute to a truly special evening. For sushi purists and adventurous epicures alike, Koya delivers a memorable, high-end dining experience where meticulous skill meets creative inspiration. It is not just a meal, but a celebration of the craft.

We came here with friends and had a phenomenal experience. It’s a splurge, but the food is top quality, and you can really feel the passion behind each dish. There was an high level of quality even in the small details. Every bite stood out in a different way, and the service couldn’t have been better. Chef Eric and his team are knowledgeable yet friendly and warm. We reached out ahead of time to see if they could accommodate a nut allergy and they went above and beyond to do so. The drink list was extensive and we ordered a bottle of sake that we thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend Koya to everyone and can’t wait to return.

What an amazing experience! The small setting of 8 guests, the attention to detail, the careful and continuous service throughout the tasting testing, the descriptions of each bite, the thought and pristine quality of food….I could go and and on! I’m so grateful that my husband and I could experience this night together. Thank you to the incredible chefs and staff at Koya!
