The imagination was lacking when eating – at very high prices (especially in meat dishes). Both the deer and the chicken were okay, but on average, the vegetable mix was rather boring. Wasabi to the deer's court is suitable, but was only to taste pointwise. I recommend the Sashimi. That's why unfortunately only a good with restriction.

Unfortunately, what might have worked years ago in a different city and cultural context translates here as imitation rather than innovation. The cuisine itself is competent but entirely uninspired—formulaic sushi at premium prices, presented with an air of exclusivity that the food simply does not earn. One is left wondering how Michelin could even consider mentioning a place where technique is safe, flavors are predictable, and creativity appears to have been outsourced along with the concept. What Koi truly excels at is atmosphere—not in the gastronomic sense, but as a social stage. It’s a magnet for Munich’s “wannabe luxury” crowd, where being seen matters more than what’s on the plate. In that sense, it’s perfectly aligned with today’s social-media-driven dining culture, where hype outweighs substance and Instagram aesthetics trump culinary integrity. If you’re looking for exceptional Japanese cuisine, this is not the place. If, however, you enjoy overpaying for average sushi while observing a curated display of aspirational wealth, Koi Munich delivers exactly that.
