"My friends and I went out to Koen for the first time last night and it was the BEST dining experience so far. There were three of us, so we ordered the Samurai course. The appetizers were delicious and plentiful. The Samurai comes with several appetizers, but we also ordered the fried gyoza (very yummy! . We ate all the appetizers and they did their job by building an appetite, so we had plenty if room for the main course. Our server then turned on the grill and showed us (not told us how to use it so we could fully enjoy the experience. The grilling was probably the most fun. You have full control over how long your meats are cooked for. The Samurai comes with plenty of delicious meats, but we also ordered sliced short rib (definitely recommend! . The overall experience of the grilling makes the trip far more worth it. Then, after we were done with the main course, our server brought us tempura ice cream for dessert (also included in the Samurai package . We honestly didn't expect the large portion size we were given, so we were excited when he brought it out. It was TO DIE FOR!! All-in-all, you should definitely consider going to Koen with some friends or a date. The experience will definitely leave you wanting to come back (I'm checking with my friends on when we'll go next, lol . I will say, if you want to go on a night like Friday or Saturday, make a reservation. It was so busy last night that even with a reservation, we had to wait 30 minutes. We didn't mind, tho, because the food and experience didn't disappoint. Also, make sure you're planning to spend some because an experience as good as this won't be super cheap. If splitting with friends, expect to be paying between 30- 50 with tip (depends on what you order and how many friends you're dining with . Totally worth it, tho!!"

"When I and my guests walked in, I immediately noticed people looking at us and what made it more uncomfortable their eyes followed us all the way to our seats. I looked back at them finally after I sat down and they stopped. Then the waitress came by and I tried being a little humorous, but she wasn't going with it. I then decided to just be normal with the waiters because I inferred that they were just being professional. The waiters took a while to refill our cups. Our initial waitress argued with me that there was no Rootbeer soda when I had just gotten a refill from another waiter. She even had the nerve to tell me that I didn't know what I was drinking. My initial drink was sweet tea, but she said they only served unsweet. I then decided to mix the unsweet with the sweet soda. I told her to serve a bit of tea and add the rest sprite soda. The cup came back very dark and tasted like unsweet tea. It should have been a very light brown if she had done it right. Then I'm told there was military discount and I ask if it was per person or per ticket or if there was another method. I was told no, which was okay. After a while, I am told there is no military discount at all. This is San Antonio Tx and I strongly believe there should be military discounts all over this great military city. I then tasted the food and if not for the extra sauce that was brought to me; I wouldn't have eaten it. The sushi at Chopstix, for me, tasted better than the ones I ordered there. I then got the bill and noticed an added 18% gratuity charge. It was just 4 of us there. The service was bad and the food wasn't very good. I will never return there. So disappointed with this place. UPDATE: AUG. 7 2021 The manager spoke with me and paid me back the wrongful gratuity charge. She told me we could actually let the waiters knows how to cook the items on the menu to better suit our wants. She apologized for the treatment we were given. I changed from 1 star to 3 stars. I am hoping that military discount becomes a reality there and that we get treated better next time we go. This place has a lot of potential and I hope to give it a whopping 5 stars soon."

"Wow, Wow, Wow. For the last 3 months, I have dined here at least 7 times with family and friends all very happy and leaving with full bellies of nice quality foods. Having experienced both the lunch specials along with the rolls and even dinner entrees, you truly can’t go wrong with someplace like Blufish. The lunch special is for sure a standout served Monday Friday with items being around 20 bucks after tax. In my opinion, great deal!! Not only do you get the main, but you also get a spicy tuna roll, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken with soup or salad. Everything is pretty good on the lunch with my only critique that the entree meat is on the smaller side. It is though made up by the quantity of items served with. My only other ask is if we can get the recipe for the dressing?! From all the Japanese restaurants we have tried in the Chicagoland area, their dressing is by far a favorite of ours. We have tried a few of the rolls but they are just okay. Not one has completely stood out to us, but it is possible we just aren’t ordering good ones. Dragons were nice but the mozzarella one was a little off putting as the cheese wasn’t melted. As for the best quality item to get here is always the sashimi lunch dinner. The raw fish always tastes super fresh and for a good price you get so many pieces. I do wish sometimes I knew what I was eating : BluFish is located in strip mall with ample parking and outdoor seating. Generally, services has always been good for the served, but the bartender is a huge standout. My only negative experience would be from the host who was quite off putting on a Saturday afternoon. There are more positive ways to greet guests and she did not do that. The restaurant was also empty at that time and I don’t think having a small quiet puppy in its carrier is an issue… All in all it’s a nice place. Best of the 4 locations I believe that they have. Check them out! Grade : A"

"let me begin by reminding our waitress, she was amazing. let's go to the experience itself. this place was influenced by the kovid strong as well as personal lack, but they are amazingly fast. they can have some experiences with inaccuracies with their orders even during eating. be patient! I believe at least from our first experience here they had only one cook, a cashier, a sushi cook and a waitress while we were there. our waitress took our orders with memory and she is older, so there were some mistakes, but she was great, so please don't think what occurred to me from this place the least. the traditional Hibachi experience to sit the flattop grill with others due to kovid is not an option so they have a more traditional restaurant experience while still the Hibachi menu most are used in these. I ordered the filet and the huh, but I got a filet and garnel. more in a moment. portion sizes were excellent. I have the standards soup, salat with ingwer dressing, fried rice, noodles, filet mignon and the above garnels. I also ordered 6 pieces sashimi that were thunfischmackerel and red snapper. the sashimi was an excellent size cuts and presentation. my meal had some mistakes and surprises. most establishments that are similar to that I have visited do not offer noodles so big 1 for it. I love the fried rice, I appreciate it very much. why I rated it 4 stars vs give it 5 is that this establishment does not allergy with their meal prep take into account. Yes, I know that cross-contamination can occur, but at least they give me the opportunity to remove as much risk as possible. I didn't get a nice drink that is usually included in a Hibachi menu and I'm deadly allergic to mushrooms. I had not the opportunity to remove them, their sweet are premixed and cannot be replaced. I also have a garnel allergy, not as bad as the mushroom, so when I got an ugly side of garnel with my order, I was a bit removed. our waitress, spirited them, elderly people and took our order completely through remembrance had everything perfect, but that. they made changes, they had a cook make me go a side order of the huh when they asked why I did not eat the garnel. I loved her personality and her sincerity and care when she realized the mistake she made and appreciated the effort. Great eating, the sushi love much, but if they have allergies, they might want to stay clear of this."
