I discovered Koya Houston on Instagram, and it immediately caught my eye with its upscale and fun vibe. Although I noticed the reviews weren’t as high as I typically prefer (I usually stick to places with a 4.5+ rating), I decided to take a gamble while in Houston for Thanksgiving—and I’m so glad I did!
The restaurant is absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere was great, though it wasn’t too crowded—likely because it was the day before Thanksgiving. We started with the wings, which were perfectly cooked and delicious. For our entrées, I had the lamb chops, and my husband ordered the sea bass. Both dishes exceeded our expectations, and the drinks were on point too.
Our server, Carson, was the highlight of our visit. His service was exceptional, and he went above and beyond by offering us two complimentary shots each and even giving us a tour of the speakeasy, which was such a fun touch.
We’ve been traveling through Miami, New Orleans, and now Houston, dining out each night, and while Koya was the most expensive restaurant we’ve visited this week, it was absolutely worth it. I’d recommend giving it a shot despite the mixed reviews online. We left happy, full, and truly impressed!
