I've become a regular customer with Koi San within the last 5 years. I live in Salitran and my 1 hour commute to visit the main branch is always worth it. I recommend all the menu items available. (Mainly because I've almost tried every dish and sushi). The staff and owner are very accommodating and really social. If you visit on your own to treat yourself, with friends or family. You'll leave with a full heart and stomach with their affordable prices. I keep misjudging my ability to consume portions. I end up taking some of my leftover ordered meals to-go! My greed to satisfy my cravings for Japanese cuisine. This place is my number one location to go to.
