Koyama sushi house


I recently had dinner at Koyama Sushi Restaurant. It was recently established in downtown Iowa City and it was very good. They have the Hibachi Grill where you receive your own chef and they help prepare your food in front of you. The best part of the whole experience is that you get to have an entertaining show and amazing meal. The chefs are very well trained and know how to prepare amazing food. Throughout your meal you will finish and not be able to move. You start off with the option of salad with soy vinaigrette or you can get soup. The two traditional types that are offered are miso and clear soup. As you get your soup you may also order sushi from they long menu of options. I highly recommend the Spider roll. It is filled with shrimp, crab, cucumber, seaweed, rice, and carrots. Others that are a flavor booster are their California Rolls and Captain Crunch.

After you enjoy your conversation and appetizers your chef arrives. He hand cooks your eggs and rice along with an assortment of vegetables. Around the table one at a time the chef shoots broccoli at you and if you caught it they would provide Saki bombs on the house for the adults. Saki bombs are tradition in Asia where you have a small cup placed on chop sticks on top of your drink and you hit the table and drop it in to your glass. Then you quickly drink down the alcohol. Finally you get your meat and voila! Enjoy!
