| - I must first admit that Japanese tapas is not my cuisine of choice, which partly explains the 3 star rating. I prefer full meals when eating out, and the small dishes seem a little gimmicky to me. My friend, who is a Koyoi regular, raves about this place so I thought I'd give it a go.
Overall, I still maintain my stance on the food, HOWEVER I do love the ambiance of this little place. The staff is extremely friendly and everything was beautifully plated and very instagram worthy =P We ordered the beef tataki, torched mackerel (not actually sure what it is), chicken cartilage, okonomiyaki, and curry fries. None of the dishes stood out obviously as the clear winner, but I definitely wasn't a fan of the cartilage. I enjoyed the fried batter around the cartilage, not so much the texture/crunchiness of the actual bone.
I would come again with friends for the amicable atmosphere, perhaps try out different dishes in hopes to find something to change my mind. Koyoi is definitely a unique meeting place for friends to connect over food and drink :)
