   This was the 2nd time I visited Koya Houston and I tried the wings and they were very good in flavor, however they were old. Hard , we did inform the waiter and he was to let the chef know! But I didn’t get the chance to enjoy them being tender! But we will be back!

   We were sat 20 minutes late for our reservation. And then given an attitude once we inquired about when we will be sitting. We then were given a table that was basically on the speaker and stage. Keep in mind I noted during my reservation, that this was my wife’s birthday. The service was absolutely terrible from the sassy hostess to the non-personable waiter. If I’m not mistaken, the waiter was actually a manager, but they were so busy he had to take a section. We sat at the table for an hour and a half before we were given our entree and still end up paying over $300. At one point another waiter started to notice that we weren’t getting any service and just randomly would chime in to see if he could help but at that point it was long gone.

   I had a reservation at this restaurant, but when I arrived, I was shocked to find that they were closed for a private party. Not only was there no prior notice or attempt to contact me, but the staff also made no effort to accommodate or offer any alternative solutions. Completely unprofessional and disappointing, especially since I made a reservation well in advance. I won’t be returning and would advise others to look elsewhere for reliable service.

   I’m really disappointed with the service we received. This place is not what it used to be. The music was way too loud, the food was bad, and the service was terrible. I had high hopes since my visit a few months ago was great, but unfortunately, this time was a letdown. I don’t think I’ll be returning.

   Koya has definitely transitioned Management from when the restaurant originally opened. The service was terrible and the restaurant was out of several menu items. This is far from a fine dining experience that we had when the restaurant first opened. The food service was slow, we did not have silverware or water after asking several times. The server did not know how to work the torch for a smoked drink order. Koya was one of the worst dining experiencing I’ve had in Houston and we definitely will never come back. In addition, the speakeasy lounge that has a nice ambiance now serves hooka, which changes the entire vibe.

   The ambience was great. We loved the vibe. Everyone was nice and our party enjoyed themselves. We got to see 2 mini shows which was very different. (In a good way!) The food however was just ok. The rack of lamb were very skinny and didn’t have enough meat for the price. Also the snapper did not have any seasoning. All in all this place was nice if you want to experience something different for a date night.
