"we had 10 course omesaks for 3 and were on a hightop in the middle of the bar area, which is very brightly illuminated and honestly quite unpleasant. we booked the lounge. the food was enough from a few really good bites to some who were unusable. favorite first, the smoked blue fin was exceptional, served in a smoke-filled hole, it had a great texture and taste, very well toned and presented, and it is rare to see blue fin more. my personal favorite was the skallop and aubergine, which was unexpected and beautifully balanced. the fat tuna trio was fun to contrast the various cuts. the Swedish salmon rolled around mango and jalapeños was my honorable mention; the first roll, plucked vegetables, was light and a good start; the garnelen nigiri was served with his head and a dramatic fan of fried rice paper and enjoyed by the table. I was disappointed by the boston oysters (painted as petrol and not well balanced. we got 2 and ate only 1 we have eaten thousands of oysters and actually felt bad not to eat them, but they were not good,) the wagyu was very gristy (I actually went to the bathroom to spit out. it was practically a disc silver skin. very disappointing,) and the last seafood stew felt compelled and was harmless spicy (my man loves spicy.) the mochi ice creams for dessert were confusing (1 banane, 2 mango, 3 strawberry) and did not go with the rest of the experience. it was difficult to hear the foods to explain, not because it was too loud, but they spoke very soft. I have always asked to repeat them, and only learned that the tuna trio was a comparison of the cuts because I asked. I don't think I'm going back. we spent $450 and didn't think it would suit the value of the offers"

"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."

"This place has probably the chillest vibe on a Saturday for any ayce sushi place in Vegas. Soundtrack of easy listening hits and comfortable booths. Menu is abundant with options including apps and rolls not offered elseware. Perhaps my favorite thing about this place though is that you can get a half roll of up to 2 specialty rolls per person, which allows you to try more variety. My favorite was the Leonardo Special 2, which has shrimp tempura with spicy crab and torched beef on the outside and was topped with a spicy garlic ponzu and crispy onion. It was a truly unique complex flavored and textured roll that I haven't seen elsewhere. One of the things I did not particular enjoy in comparison to other places is that they still garnish with sesame seeds but it doesn't say it on the menu. All the apps that we tried were delicious and I would totally order again because they offer smaller 2 or 3 piece portions as well as normal size ones, which I also haven't seen offered elsewhere. The service by the servers was a bit lacking not in friendly or enthusiasm but they seemed overworked perhaps due to limited staffing. It resulted in my plate of sushi being needed to made three times until it was correct due to the sesame garnish that I couldn't have due to my allergy that I mentioned on the first delivery. They were super apologetic but I just felt bad about wasting food as my friend had already eaten the first one delivered. There were also items ordered that we needed to check on as they were never delivered to the table. I'd come back for the specialty rolls and apps but be mindful to be a bit more aggressive upfront about allergy to avoid food waste."
