    I was so happy to have my "gas station hibachi" as I call it when I visited this past weekend. The food was so good and fresh and we were able to have a lot of Yum Yum Sauce on the side. The food was able to stay hot and fresh while we ran a couple of orders out to Cave Run nearby for lunch for the rest of the family. Would recommend calling it in because by the time we got there it was ready for us. The lo mein was delicious and definitely a favorite.

    Food is great! Ask them to make it spicy and the chicken hibachi is awesome! Can't beat the price for the amount of food they give you.

    The second best Asian restaurant in Morehead Kentucky. Only Yamatos is better. Don't let the fact that it is in a gas station fool you.

    Standalone japanese style restaurant…read more No frills seating area. There is variety of seating availalble available Regular tables, booths high tops lining the glass full length windows. There was just one young man serving. He seemed a little tired and unhappy to be working. But he was polite. My colleague ordered chicken hibachi and I ordered teriyaki salmon bento. My salmon bento came with spring rolls, dumplings and salmon atop some pieces of vegetables. The salmon was cooked perfectly- cooked through yet not dry. The spring rolls were freshly fried- but the contents of it was mushy. Dumplings were eelicious delicious Good for a quick meal.

    Ambiance is decent, some soft music playing throughout. It is smaller than I thought it would be…read morefrom the outside, however. Tables were very clean. Service was prompt, although there were only 2 other tables seated there around 1pm. We were told to pick any table we wanted, then given the menu once we were seated. Menu pictures are included, I ordered a pink lemonade, hibachi lunch special with the strip steak ordered medium, clear soup, salad and a sushi roll of shrimp with cucumber. Important to note that the rolls that have a slash "/" mean you have to choose between the 2. The ginger dressing on the salad, on top of being quite pale compared to the normal color, was very sweet. I did enjoy it, but first impression wasn't the greatest. The clear soup, unfortunately, was the opposite. It looked delicious, but just tasted like warm water to me. When the waitress asked if I wanted yum yum sauce, I said yes and she brought over the squeeze bottle. Steak was cooked well, I'm thankful that I asked for medium, cause it came a little between medium rare and medium. Just the way I like it. Zucchini was cut quite thick, made it a little difficult to eat the less steamed bits, but the more steamed bits were fine. The rice was in the same situation as the soup. It looked delicious, but was pretty bland. The yum yum sauce helped. Overall, I'd go back if I was in town and hungry, it's certainly not bad. Ordered some to go dishes to try, chicken yakisoba and some fried rice on its own. The chicken was delicious, they really seem to have their meets down pat. The noodles were a little on the dry side, and salty. Rice was the same as in restaurant, kind of bland, need the yum yum sauce to mix into it.

I hope they take this as an opportunity to improve. I recently tried the new poke bowl on the menu. I was VERY excited when I saw a sign that they offer poke bowls, but a bit disappointed when they did not have all the standard poke bowl toppings. No seaweed salad, pickled carrots, etc. The poke bowl was $15 - and while the flavor was good it lacked the full experience and was way too small for the price. The poke bowl place in Lexington serves a large size for only $13 and it's at least double this size, maybe triple the size. I desperately want Koi Express to offer the same style bowl as Miyako for a reasonable price. I would pay $15 happily if it was enough to fill me up and had all the topping choices. So please keep serving poke bowls - just make them a bit bigger and provide the toppings. I can't justify paying $15 for the version that is currently offered. You also need a different style bowl to serve these in - not practical for mixing. I'll be trying the ramen soon.

They tell me the latest they can do is 8:00... even though they don't close until 9. Make that make sense. So I explain the situation . she literally gets out at 8, we need a little time to get there. The girl on the phone acts like I'm asking for something impossible. She finally says, "Well... I guess we can do 8:15," but with the worst attitude. And when I paused for two seconds to check that time with everyone, she hits me with a long, rude "hellooooo?" Like girl, calm down!!! I'm trying to make YOUR schedule work. We show up for our 8:15 reservation, and the vibe immediately was that we weren't even wanted there. They looked at us like we showed up uninvited, even though we literally made a reservation. Then they tell us they only have two soups and ONE salad left... for three people. Everyone is supposed to get a soup and a salad, so how exactly were we supposed to "split that"? On top of that, they had no sushi rice and half the menu unavailable -- and not one apology. Just more attitude, like everything was somehow our fault. Then it took them 20 minutes to not even bring our drinks. They never showed up. We're just sitting there watching them walk around acting busy while ignoring us. At that point, we just got up and left because clearly they didn't care if we stayed or not. And the craziest part? They charge an 18% mandatory tip for this kind of rude service. Like... hello?? What exactly are we tipping for? The attitude? The missing food? The ignoring us? It's wild. This place is rude, unprofessional, unprepared, and honestly gives off "we don't want you here" energy. If you wanna pay to be treated like an inconvenience, go ahead. Otherwise, save yourself the headache and go anywhere else.
