“Best poke in chicago suburbs!! Genuinely so so good and i usually don’t really like poke. Lady at front was so nice too she made my day :) Bowl includes miso soup and cookie for free”

“The food was heathy, flavorful, and delicious. And great customer service, and prices!!!”

“Very flavorful food and healthy too! You won't be sorry.”

“This is now a favorite spot for us!! Lots of good gf, vegetarian, and vegan options and it was super tasty!!! I got the veggie bento, the people with me got a chicken teriyaki bowl and a sunset bowl and both were very happy. And all of them came with miso soup! We also got the mango boba and it was tasty, I recommend less sweet. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially for a quick bite for not too much!”

“Loved the “Choose Your Own” (CYO) experience! Everything was fresh and delicious. Pick up was fast and easy. Will definitely be ordering again.”

“This place was modern and sparkly clean. The staffs were amazing! We tried the to-go menus for the first time. The whole family gave thumbs up! My husband, 5th grade son, 8th grade daughter and I were all so pleased. It is rare we find a place that we all love. Can't wait to go back and try more. Food was delicious and fresh! Bowl Chicken Teriyaki, Bowl Avocado Torch, Bowl Sunset all had excellent flavors. I also love their eco friendly packaging. Highly recommend Koya.”

“Good food and very flavorful. Had the beef teriyaki cup. It was a nice size for portion control. The food was a little cold not sure if that is how it is supposed to be or just due to the delivery process.”
“Visiting. Such a great idea. Healthy, custom poke bowels. So good!”
