The only rough spot is that it's quite popular. One must arrive early or call to find out when the next wave of diners might be departing. The staff. From greeting to departure, we have felt welcome and appreciated. Not sucked-up-to. Appreciated. It's like they dig what they're doing. Feels great. This is doubly true for us when dining at the bar. We had a great conversation with the gent serving, and enjoyed him nearly as much as the meal. The fish. So fresh. So tasty. Soft. Perfectly cut. Mmm. Parking is pretty simple. Plenty of space behind the building. Chill neighborhood, too. Felt quite safe. At some point, I need to try some of the many other types of Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine, and Thai cuisine. This place makes me wish I lived in Bellevue.

We finally made it to Koen, and had a great time. The tabletop grilling makes dinner feel like an…read moreexperience rather than just a meal, and it's the kind of place that's fun for a date night or dinner with friends. We ordered the Koen Sapporo and Koen Kirin sets, then added the Crown Ribeye to share. Both meals came with miso soup, salad, rice, and a variety of meats, so it was a great way to sample a little bit of everything but not go for the full premium set. The miso soup was a great way to start the meal. It was warm, comforting, though it cooled down pretty quickly, so I'd recommend finishing it before you get distracted by the grill. The house salad came with a carrot ginger dressing that I really enjoyed. It was fresh and flavorful, but surprisingly sweet. I loved the taste, though by the end of the small bowl it became a little sweet for me. One fun surprise was the beef gyoza. I'm much more accustomed to chicken gyoza, so it was nice to try something different. As for the grill, the Toro Beef was the standout. We piled it over our rice and ended up with a delicious little donburi bowl that was easily my favorite bite of the night. The Top Sirloin, Chicken Bulgogi, and Yaki-Shabu Beef were all enjoyable as well. The only downside was that the Spicy Pork Belly and the Crown Ribeye were a bit difficult to eat without knives. We managed, but those thicker cuts would have been much easier to enjoy if we could have cut them into smaller bites. We did have meat scissors but it was a little uncomfortable sharing. I also ordered the salmon nigiri, and I was pleasantly surprised. I'd put it right up there with Blue Sushi in terms of quality. The slices of salmon were incredibly generous, actually larger than the rice, which wasn't quite my preferred balance, but I'd much rather have too much fish than too little. Since I was the only one ordering sushi, our table didn't have chopsticks or soy sauce dishes, though we also never thought to ask for them either. To drink, I had the red sangria, and it was packed with fresh fruit, which I absolutely loved. I ended up ordering a second because it was so refreshing. They're definitely more of a flavorful, easy-drinking sangria than a particularly strong cocktail, but that's exactly what I was in the mood for. Our server did an excellent job. They explained how everything worked, checked on us frequently without hovering, and made the experience feel approachable for first-time diners. Overall, Koen is somewhere I'd happily return. The grill is half the fun, the Toro Beef alone is worth ordering again, and the service made the experience even better. If it's your first visit, my biggest tips are to enjoy your soup before it cools, don't skip the Toro Beef over rice, and if you're ordering thicker cuts like the ribeye, don't be shy about asking for a knife.

I'd prefer if it was just plain. But I do think it said on the menu they would be marinated. The kimchi is way spicier than any other kimchi I've had. Most of the banchan was spicier than I'm used to. The chocolate-martini drink was so yummy. It just tasted like chocolate milk. You have to walk up two flights of stairs to get to the entrance to the restaurant, and it's right above a dispensary, so it smelled a bit like weed at the entrance. Our server was great. The seating host did give us a classic gen-z stare and he didn't move his arms when he walked. Just a fun fact. It didn't affect our meal or experience. If anything it gave us something to giggle about. Overall an ok experience. Minus the cigarette taste, but I think that's just a me problem. Edit: nvm, not just me. My husband said after thinking about it for a few days the taste of the cigarette eggs still lingers in his mouth and he hated it too.

(although I think the fish is cured to retain freshness) We ordered a couple rolls, but mostly stuck to the nigiri. The Hama toast, prairie tuna, and yaki gindara were all ono. The yaki gindara tasted like butterfish sushi, but with sablefish rather than black cod. Also, the rice used for the sushi tasted similar to the rice used in sushi in Hawaii. We also tried some of the yakitori - grilled meat on sticks. I strongly recommend the tako yakitori. I'm not really into tako poke (Hawaii dish), but this tako with that miso panca sauce is super ono. Full of flavor with a touch of spicy. I could eat that all the time. The five-spice old fashioned they have is also delicious. Service was excellent for us. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself has a/c and gives an izakaya vibe familiar in Hawaii. Also, I saw people come in with t-shirt and shorts for dinner. So I guess there isn't really a dress code here. As others have mentioned, Koji is a sister restaurant to Yoshitomo, and the menus of both restaurants do overlap to a degree. However, Koji has MUCH better parking than Yoshitomo. Trying to find parking for Yoshitomo or Ota can be a pain since it's all street parking. Koji is in a strip mall with its own parking lot (free parking too). I will definitely return here whenever I'm in Omaha.

Service was efficient when we ordered carry-out; we received four rolls, two miso soups, and seaweed salad within 15 minutes. However, our experience upon returning home was disappointing. The salmon rolls were extremely fishy, to the point of gagging and nearly vomiting. The California roll also tasted off. Additionally, none of the rolls were rolled properly and fell apart as we picked them up. The seaweed salad did not meet our expectations either, which was surprising since I love seaweed salad and have never been disappointed before. The miso soup also lacked flavor and seaweed. It seems likely they used old fish that had been sitting out for an extended period of time. We only ate the spider roll, which was cooked, and the only one we enjoyed. Overall, we were very disappointed because sushi is our preferred date night choice, and we enjoy trying new places whenever we visit. We are ending up throwing them away. I wouldn't recommend going to this place after peak hours.

My daughters said the same thing about their chicken and also commented that the fried rice just tasted like butter. Service wasn't great either - no one came around to refill drinks or check on us.
