Koi Kawa Japanese - San Antonio

A very inviting space with plenty of space. The staff was very friendly and efficient with service. The sushi is really great as they have plenty of fishes from Japan. The sushi rice is excellent. Love the tempura because the batter is light and crispy just like in Japan. Lunch menu have great selections and awesome price. The restaurant is tuck away in the back parking lot. This was a true hidden gem. Highly recommend you try it again. We will be back when we are in San Antonio.

The only downside is that it's hard to find. You have to park and walk towards the inside of the shopping area. Anyways that's the only con... the rest are all pros. Fresh delicious sushi, amazing lunch specials, the ambiance was great, our server was great as well, very nice gentleman. The seaweed salad is great!! My mom got the shrimp tempura and it's massive with big veggies also fried tempura style. It was so good! Would love to go back. The lemonade is (Minute Maid from fountain) just fyi! The green hot tea looked good too!

My number go to for sushi! Quality of food, above reproach. The service was excellent and we never went without a refill. I he food is prepared per order so we got a tasty cucumber salad while we waited. Ambiance is so much like restaurants in Japan. Not overly done, very serene, very clean, immediately greeted upon entering...can't say enough about this place!

I can 't sing enough praises about Koi Kawa! It 's exactly what my husband and I had longed for in a while. My husband is originally from Maui and definitely a sushi connoisseur in my opinion! I trust his opinion whole heartedly. We moved here from Florida and sadly, after searching far and wide for months we just did not find the quality of sushi we are used to. I first searched and read articles and blogs on good sushi in the San Antonio area and reading one article that mentioned Koi Kawa getting some of their fish from Japan sold me on it! I knew this place would be special. Yelp also had raving reviews but mostly I just felt this place would be a hit! It 's a bit hidden in the plaza it 's in and aesthetically the location itself was so Zen and welcoming! There 's a small pond outside and large glass windows that allow natural light to pour into the entire restaurant. We ordered edamame and hamachi sashimi as appetizers! The hamachi was phenomenal. The perfect cut , temperature, quality and consistency! We each ordered a roll and they were also above par! The roll I ordered is the 281 and my husband ordered the Bellagio roll. Just a warning, the Bellagio is pretty spicy! As if the quality of sushi wasn 't enough, the presentation of the dishes is so detailed. I am very appreciative of details like this! Our server Alex is wonderful server! Very prompt and attentive to our needs! I am so grateful to have found this gem of a sushi restaurant and I cannot wait to return and try new rolls and items on their menu ! Arigato Koi Kawa for such a wonderful culinary experience!

Came here for the first time for a friends birthday. It's definitely a popular place for lunch on a Saturday and the place was full but we still got great service. The food came out fast and the server was very attentive and quick. I tried the gyoza and fiesta roll which were both delicious. The gyoza are large and the spicy tuna in the roll has more of a kick than normal! My friends got the sushi boat and it was a beautiful presentation. The restaurant is at the back of the boardwalk area near the Witte and faces the park/river for a nice view.
