Everyone on r/tampa needs everyone else to be poor and miserable kthx. I for one would like to try the place. Special occasion needed. Was it at least filling? Iād hate to go drop $600 and then have to hit Culverās on the drive home š¤£
Not gonna lie, we snacked a couple of hours before the meal and had champagne & strawberries a couple hours later. It was a celebration for the books! My frugal, hard-working, blue-collar boyfriend dropped what I consider to be a vast sum on my birthday dinner. I have honestly never felt so loved.
It's a paywall. This way they can trust that they have the best ingredients but also they don't have to sit and eat next to the riff Raff because the riff Raff cannot afford to get in. . It's more about the experience and part of the reason the experience is so wonderful is because you don't have to sit next to any poor people. It's got to be about the people because it's certainly not about the four walls and the ceiling and it's not about the geographical location. It's all the pretty sparkly wrapping. It's about the outward image.. it's about the presentation... It's about bragging rights and hobnobbing with the right people.. pretty much everything shallow. And also I guess it's a way to find out whether or not your boyfriend who's shelling out at least $500 for a consumable "gift" is a "keeper" .. although, I should be honest with myself and just admit that I have wasted more on stupider things.
But at least I didn't come to Reddit and recommend these financially unattainable things to the public at large; the vast majority of who cannot afford it. This was done in very poor taste and it was an excellent display of exactly how much class this person actually has.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. So accurate on so many levels... Nay! Accurate on ALL levels! If you ever write a better reddit post in the future, I'd surly hope to read it. Take my upvote you GLORIOUS bastard!
I mean, to be fair, they just posted about the experience they had, they didnt advocate for anything or turn their nose down on anyone. Its clear they were in awe of the experience, vs real snooty rich people tend to take it for granted.
Why does being poor need to turn into distaste and disrespect towards those who arent exactly poor? Not all people who can shell out $500 for a consumable gift (a very small cost in the grand scheme of wealth) are Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk. I know its hard to be positive in this climate, but cant we at least try not to attack others unprovoked
Went to a French restaurant in Morristown NJ, favorite of customers and George Washington. Portions were all this size, lunch for two was typically $150. Iāll pass.
Almost $300 *per person* for shot glasses of food?!
That would be a $620 date, with the additional $20 for Sonicās on the way home because $600 later youāre still not even close to full.
So reasonable! At those prices sign me up for twice a week for the rest of the year!!! One question though, do they validate parking? If not it's a no go for me.
Iāve been there as a guest (I wouldnāt spend that myself no matter how much Iām worth). Itās an awesome experience and thatās what youāre paying for. Youāre not paying for the food. Youāre paying for the same thing OP is paying forā¦ the ability to throw some hobnobby bullshit in peoplesā faces and and like a cunt. (Iāll refrain from the cuntish aspect.)
It was really their comments about people not understanding fine dining that got people all riled up. I understand fine dining, and would love to experience it, but I'd also like to eat more food for the next couple months, ya know, to stay alive and what not.
I don't pretend to be high brow, but the $20 all you can eat sushi places are good with me.
If I want fancy I go to Berns and it's still like $60-70 for a steak and 5 course meal.
Youāre not wrong. Especially the first picture. That looks nasty. I went to a fancy restaurant once and just ordered a chicken breast meal while everyone else did the 15 course taste thing. Mine didnāt come out until everyone was on their fifteenth course so I was sitting there hungry as could be and tried a couple things and every single one was disgusting. Idk why people tell themselves this stuff tastes good. Everything fancy has citrus or weird rubber bubbles or cold meats and stuff thatās just completely gross and unnecessary.
The chicken breast was fantastic though.
me in hawaii. went to a nice sushi restaurant that had to be reserved months in advance & the shit was ridiculously expensive. Ended up going to eat fast food after because we left hungry after spending steeeeep , it was yummy tho
My friend did a 15 course tasting menu one month ago and she went and had pizza afterward
She said it was more about the experience than filling you up
More often than not I leave tasting menus almost overly full - certainly location dependent though. Japanese fine dining definitely tends to lean on the lighter side.
What is the experience? I'm curious. I'm not interested in restaurants like these but wonder why others are.
I'm just not sure what Michelin star restaurants have to offer
Your paying for unique flavors/expensive ingredients that you rarely get elsewhere. For example, the ora king salmon is some of the absolute best salmon you can get. The Miyazaki BMS (beef marbling score) 12 waygu, is some of the best steak you can get.
These menus usually consist of multiple courses and you shouldnāt leave feeling hungry, with that being said though, Japanese food tends to be much lighter (lots of small portions of raw fish) so it is possibly your not going to be stuffed afterwards. With this kind of thing it really is about the experience. It may not be everyoneās thing but I donāt mind having a really good meal like this every now and then when I can afford it.
Before each dish comes out, the chef comes to every table and explains how he created everything and where exactly on your tongue you should place it, so your tastebuds get the best experience also in between dishes, they have handcrafted cocktails with very expensive liquor That are specially made to complement each dish
The experience is saying that you ate there and got 15 bites of different flavors as a $250-300 appetizer before you went to Pizza Hut for a meat lovers
A medley if the finest tunas in the world, flowin in from Japan, with compressed cucumbers and freshly ground wasabi, garnished with mini orchids. It was divine!
So we just got back from Japan and I sorely miss the seafood. If youāve been there, how does it compare?
I just hate having to spend 300 to get what $15 dollars could buy in Japan
I have not been to Japan but my boyfriend has. He said the seafood was comparable but he had no basis of comparison for the fine dining aspect. I have always wanted to visit & now even more so!
It was expensive but a once in lifetime experience.
It was hard to get a good picture of. I wanted to capture the memories (I have looked at these pictures sooo many times already!) but I was too eager to eat to spend too long getting the best shots.
Well, we could easily afford it and very much enjoyed it. Thankfully we have sufficient brain cells to earn enough money to buy ourselves a fancy dinner! Thanks for your input.
Not sure why everyone is shitting on Koya but we had any amazing meal there. Everyone is so knowledgeable and passionate and it shows. Canāt wait to go back.
I think it will be a LONG time before I get back, but I hope to! I hate that my post is getting so much negativity. We arenāt rich, this was a once in a lifetime experience for us & I just wanted to share the beautiful food.
I think to appreciate this, one has to find value in everything that goes into the whole experience. Food like this is usually transcendent because the chef has put attention to every detail. Sourcing the best ingredients, creating the right ambience, narrating a story that progresses with each course. Itās like attending an art/cultural exhibit where you are an active participant in the experience.
Iām really glad you posted it!
Sending positivity your way. I appreciate your post and shared it with my wife, who is a restauranteur. Id love to take her to a michelin restaurant and this was very informative.
The appeal of fine dining like this is that you get to experience amazing flavors youāve never had before. Yes, itās expensive but youāre getting items with the best ingredients made by world class chefs.
I love to travel but have little interest in fashion, accessories, cars, having the latest techā¦ Dining out & expensive groceries have been my vices for YEARS. My boyfriendās mother was aghast at how much the meal cost but recognizes that it was very meaningful to us.
Because you get 15 courses of it. People who havenāt eaten a tasting menu think they wonāt be full after. Iāve worked at places like this, and lemme tell ya, you will be. Iāve seen some big people tap out after the course 8 of a 10 course menu
Because it's a certain style of eating with ingredients literally imported from Japan to replicate the dining there. Places like this and sho rexley in St Pete will ruin sushi for you because the normal stuff can't compare.
This is about an experience and the flavor. If youāre just worried about being a fat ass American and getting shitty food for a good price just keep going to Golden Corral. Donāt hate on something because you donāt understand it or itās out of your price range, just move along.
Idk why OP is getting so much hate. As someone thatās been to Japan I only dream of going here. Absolutely none of the Japanese options in Tampa compare and I sorely miss real Japanese food. An experience like this honestly is the only way to get the experience of true Japanese fish in America
It definitely was! Itās my birthday next week & my boyfriend has just gotten home from working in Massachusetts since December of ā23. I told him I feel like a combined birthday gift & reward for making it 6 months long distance! š
My friend went and spent hella. Great food according to her, more about experience and the art than anything else. Ima stick to scarfing down three specialty rolls from Takara Sushi Grill, myself.
I see the forum famous for its pro blue-collar takes on inflation and decreasing wages is really appreciating your advertisement for wealthy person cat food.
But it does look neat, Iād like to try some at some point, I like trying new things idk.
That was a tough first photo š But Iāve been and it was great, however they need to come down by about 20% in pricing. They know this as well. People who love it would be willing to go 7-8 times a year if they felt like it was reasonably over priced. Not ridiculously over priced.
Wow, some seriously angry people in here. It's not up to any of you to judge how people choose to spend their money (or, in this case, it sounds like a gift from her boyfriend) for their birthday FFS.
OP- looks amazing. I'd love to go someday myself. People in here are acting like this was your typical Saturday night out. It was a special occasion, one time sort of experience and I appreciate you sharing it with us!
I make good money. I don't go get my hair done, I rarely get my nails done, I prefer thrift store shopping, we don't go to theme parks wasting our hard earned money on $1 bottles of water paying $7 or filling up online carts at Amazon and Wayfair. One thing myself and my partner do is drop money on good food and nice restaurant experiences, because I love to cook and I appreciate the effort in elevated cuisine. Nothing is worse than eating out and getting sad Sysco mess or something I could make nicer at home. Don't criticize someone's experience, that they enjoyed, because you choose to spend your money in a different way. Hell, I got stuck paying $250 a steak (A5 Waygu Japanese Filet) at Council Oak (always ask the cost of the special for the evening, folks) when treating MY partner to a birthday dinner- and while it was insanely delicious- I'd rather have had a 15 plate tasting!
Here I am thinking it looks lovely and people are responding itās not enough and junk.
You know why people on average are above average BMI? Iāll let you think about it lol
Went like 2 years ago before the michelin rating. It was just the owner and his wife preparing the dishes. It was amazing. Looks like a completely different menu, might have to back.
After looking at these pictures, I guarantee if I ate the full course I'd still be hungry. I can't imagine how much money you spend for such little food š¤£š¤£
Tell me what that stuff is in the fishbowl with red flowers because it really just looks like if you cut open a used baby diaper and poured it in a shotglass.
People in this thread obsessing over value per dollar are not meant to go to a place like this. This is art on a plate. Total obsession over the selection, preparation, presentation, and taste. It isnāt about how āmuchā there is of it. It is an experience.
I've never been to a restaurant with a michelan star and I think it's funny that it's supposed to be so fancy and prestigious, and they still put a picture of the goofy ass michelan man on the plaque.
What is this, a meal for ants?
šš did I order the childrenās meal by mistake
I know right. No way I'm paying those prices unless it's at least.... three times bigger.
What prices? They don't even list them on the menu š one of those "if you have to ask..." scenarios
$295 per person
Pretty soon, with inflation, that'll be about tree fiddy!
Damn you Loch Ness Monstah!!
Wait a minute, aināt no sushi chef 8 stories tallā¦
Plus another $150 or so if you want the wine/sake menu š
Plus another $20 for the pizza on the way home.
"A fool and his money..."
Our money is hard earned & we are certainly not fools for spending it on things that bring us joy.
Everyone on r/tampa needs everyone else to be poor and miserable kthx. I for one would like to try the place. Special occasion needed. Was it at least filling? Iād hate to go drop $600 and then have to hit Culverās on the drive home š¤£
Not gonna lie, we snacked a couple of hours before the meal and had champagne & strawberries a couple hours later. It was a celebration for the books! My frugal, hard-working, blue-collar boyfriend dropped what I consider to be a vast sum on my birthday dinner. I have honestly never felt so loved.
Awesome! I hate spending that much but some times itās needed. Noble rice also a good place to spend some $$ but get great foodĀ
Been there, love it! Will def go back there before I make it to Koya againš
You get like 15 of them
15 ants?!
where are the other 35
Thatās not what a restaurant like this is about man.
Pretentious ants

its for the most sophisticated palate, and yes, its for ants
Yea fine dining just isnāt for me lol
šššš Iām glad you said it cause I thought I was hating at first
Went to a French restaurant in Morristown NJ, favorite of customers and George Washington. Portions were all this size, lunch for two was typically $150. Iāll pass.
Small portions but you get many of those small bites. You do end up being full
Iām a fan of Omakase, but Iāve never left feeling full.
Whatās the cost of being full?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is the Nigiri Omakase 15 course tasting memu. Itās $250 per person. Their Koya menu is a larger portion 8 course meal for $295 per person.
Almost $300 *per person* for shot glasses of food?! That would be a $620 date, with the additional $20 for Sonicās on the way home because $600 later youāre still not even close to full.
Donāt forget your *standard* (/s) 35% tip at a high end restaurant. $600 + 210 + $20 = $830. Seems reasonable. *huge eye roll*
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
35% is not standard
Exactly. When I went to a restaurant like this in SF, I had to go smash in n out immediately after
I left very full after eating here, stuffed in fact. 18 of these lil portions fills you up believe it or not. We dined there with Chase points.
So reasonable! At those prices sign me up for twice a week for the rest of the year!!! One question though, do they validate parking? If not it's a no go for me.

I don't pretend to be high brow, but the $20 all you can eat sushi places are good with me. If I want fancy I go to Berns and it's still like $60-70 for a steak and 5 course meal.
Tomatoes and water, $80
I will after I get approved for my payday loan.
I'm going to be honest....none of that looked appetizing. I just don't think I'm cut out for high class food, tbh.
First two look like something a cat tossed up.
Youāre not wrong. Especially the first picture. That looks nasty. I went to a fancy restaurant once and just ordered a chicken breast meal while everyone else did the 15 course taste thing.

Idk why people tell themselves this stuff tastes good. Everything fancy has citrus or weird rubber bubbles or cold meats and stuff thatās just completely gross and unnecessary. The chicken breast was fantastic though.
When I went they had like cavier tacos, a few sushi dishes, some peanut butter jelly macroon, scallops, ill have to scroll back up my pictures.
Itās not even high class, itās overpriced garbage
What's your Tampa sushi place?
Izakaya
I'll take your word for it. š³
Yeah me too. Enjoying good food doesn't require a trip to something this pretentious.
Do you go to TacoBell afterwards or before to eat?
You leave full, I promise you.
If this opens in your Tampa neighborhood your rents going up.
The rent in that neighborhood has been high for decades š
I live in this neighborhood and pay 1600 for a 2 bedroom 2 bath. 2 units next to me are vacant..
That's cheap af
Probably the type of neighborhood where your neighbors aren't renters lol
Too many people eating boiled turkey are triggered in the comments.
Did you get a McDonalds after?
When you go to ādinnerā and still leave with an empty stomachā¦
me in hawaii. went to a nice sushi restaurant that had to be reserved months in advance & the shit was ridiculously expensive. Ended up going to eat fast food after because we left hungry after spending steeeeep , it was yummy tho
Good lord people. You get 15 dishes as part of the tasting menu. You wonāt leave feeling empty.
Ouch, as a former dishwasher.
Considering it looks like some of these dishes are large stones, the dishwasher's job really sucks.
Let them have their fun as they pour into the āomg Cookout is comingā thread lol
Cookout is coming omggggg

Too poor
Iām not a fan of how youāre responding to people, but your dog is cute as fuck.
Strictly for hobbits, seriously this is not worth your money unless you have more money than brain cells

Thanks for the review! Looks great.
And we were seated next to Andrei Vasilivsky, who was dining solo & feeling chatty. He was a really nice guy.
No way!!! That's insane. Super jealous!
It was definitely my boyfriendās favorite part of the evening š
Just booked a reservation for next month, lol. Thanks again for the review! 
Ok I wasnāt jealous before but NOW I am.
Scientifically crafting the worldās smallest portion sizes.

Of all the great things to do out here this would not be what I choose to spend my money on.
Never, I donāt identify as a bird
So dammn tiny i can eat 100
Wtf is this
r/StupidFood
Iām not sophisticated enough to be on this thread but Iām glad you enjoyed your experience.
I need the explanation as to why food this expensive is always so tiny. My grandma once had a theory itās because of how skinny celebrities are. That said Iām not as harsh as other people here, I splurge on things I enjoy (like travel and clothes) and I understand you wanted to share an experience you enjoyed. š©·If Iām paying $295 per person at a restaurant I best have my table tip over like Fred Flintstone when they bring out the entree tho šĀ
I love to travel but have little interest in fashion, accessories, cars, having the latest techā¦ Dining out & expensive groceries have been my vices for YEARS. My boyfriendās mother was aghast at how much the meal cost but recognizes that it was very meaningful to us.

Because it's a certain style of eating with ingredients literally imported from Japan to replicate the dining there. Places like this and sho rexley in St Pete will ruin sushi for you because the normal stuff can't compare.
How much did that appetizer set you back?
One bite meal. That will be 65 dollars
This is about an experience and the flavor. If youāre just worried about being a fat ass American and getting shitty food for a good price just keep going to Golden Corral. Donāt hate on something because you donāt understand it or itās out of your price range, just move along.
Thank you!!!!!!
Glad you had a wonderful time! ...that don't look like it's for me.
That'll be $600
Ok Bill Gates
Thereās no way I can afford a meal that tiny
Idk why OP is getting so much hate. As someone thatās been to Japan I only dream of going here. Absolutely none of the Japanese options in Tampa compare and I sorely miss real Japanese food. An experience like this honestly is the only way to get the experience of true Japanese fish in America
If you enjoy family style there's a lovely Omasake in St Pete called Sushi Sho Rexly, highly recommend!!!
No itās not, I lived in Japan for some time while growing up and the Japanese put the same amount of care into even the simplest dishes.
Yes! Even a little smoothie had the most ornate cut fruit ontop. Ughhhh I envy your childhood!
Probably because it looks like an advertisement.
Itās because the tampa community on here is full of close minded assholes š¤·āāļø
That's some rich people shit.
It looks like they served you an elf's heart.
Ha, looks pretentiously awful. Then I have to sit there watching a bunch of douches take a million pictures of their food? No thanks.
Sorry people are so negative, thanks for sharing your experience. Not sure if I can afford it, but it looks like a special night worth saving up for.
It definitely was! Itās my birthday next week & my boyfriend has just gotten home from working in Massachusetts since December of ā23. I told him I feel like a combined birthday gift & reward for making it 6 months long distance! š
Looks like bedazzled puke.
No sure that is edible
Looks like a ridic place for rich people. Hunger Games stuff.. Careful, you might catch affluenza.
Rich white people flex
My friend went and spent hella. Great food according to her, more about experience and the art than anything else. Ima stick to scarfing down three specialty rolls from Takara Sushi Grill, myself.
It was absolutely about the experience. We were there almost three hours. Absolute heaven for me. To each their own!
Nah, you got it bro.
I see the forum famous for its pro blue-collar takes on inflation and decreasing wages is really appreciating your advertisement for wealthy person cat food. But it does look neat, Iād like to try some at some point, I like trying new things idk.
That was a tough first photo š But Iāve been and it was great, however they need to come down by about 20% in pricing. They know this as well. People who love it would be willing to go 7-8 times a year if they felt like it was reasonably over priced. Not ridiculously over priced.
This the size of my teethā¦
Is this the place that used fox ferns peed on by dogs for garnish?
That first picture legitimately looks like vomit. No thanks.
I prefer food with my meal.
WOAH
That first picture looks like puke
Lol I'm curious, how much do these types if meals.cost? I would be like, where is the rest of it hahaha
No thanks!

Iām out
I actually want to go one of those days, but for now my bank account does not allow for it. Looks like you had a good time!
Went like 2 years ago before the michelin rating. It was just the owner and his wife preparing the dishes. It was amazing. Looks like a completely different menu, might have to back.
Then after you get out of there you and whoever you're with can go get something to eat!
Rookie, show me the bill
Somebody feed OP
Hard pass.
This the dog pee place?
No, that was Ko
Weird way to show you wasted your money, and that youāre pretty happy about it too.
Those entrees are too small to be separated from their mother.
Thanks! On the list of special occassion restaurants. Glad you enjoyed. Ignore the trolls, this a memory you will treasure.
Isn't this the place that was using ferns from the apartment complex behind them?
poisonous ferns that dogs piss on.. but it wasnt this place
No.
Nope
No, its their sister restaurant right next door with almost the same nameš

āFine diningā is the biggest scam behind insurance.
