★ 4.4 / 5 (12718 reviews)

Nestled in the scenic Lake Tekapo, this Japanese restaurant has garnered mixed reviews from diners. While some praise the flavorful dishes and friendly service, others express disappointment in the food's authenticity and value. Complaints about the atmosphere being a bit messy and the pricing being on the higher side persist. The menu features traditional options like bento boxes and tempura, with some highlighting the quality of local salmon. Despite some cleanliness concerns and a preference for takeaway orders, many agree that the meals are satisfying, especially when considering the stunning views. Reservations are recommended due to its popularity.

What Jay Gao dislikes about Kohan:
We ordered three beers and at the checkout we were charged for four. Because I was in a hurry to leave at that time, I didn't know it and I found out later. The restaurant environment is a bit messy, but the food tastes good. is the price is a bit expensive. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2 View all feedback.
