What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Le Yen Koï offers a refined Japanese dining experience with a focus on innovative dishes and a serene ambiance. Many praise the exceptional quality of the sushi and sashimi, innovative preparations like truffle-infused dishes, and the attentive service. However, some diners found the authenticity lacking and noted that certain dishes, like tempura and pad thai, were overpriced for the portion size and preparation style.
"From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was serene and beautifully designed. The service was attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. Every dish we ordered was a masterpiece, both in flavor and presentation. The sushi was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the hot dishes were rich and comforting without being heavy. You can tell they put real care and expertise into their cooking. It's now one of my absolute favorite spots in Aix—can't wait to come back!"
Erin Goerres
"Had a great lunch with my friends. The dishes and service have improved. We had sushi with truffles as a starter, crispy chicken (kara age), grilled octopus, the crying tiger seared beef angus (le tigre qui pleure), and several mocktails. I recommend all the dishes."
Veritas Loquitur
"While the ambiance was pleasant and the service was courteous, the dishes lacked the authentic flavors and freshness one typically looks for in Japanese cuisine."

Placé un plein cœur d’Aix à deux pas du cours Mirabeau, Koï restaurant japonais moderne et raffiné. Le chef Riuji Kakizaki réinvente les classiques, comme le sashimi qu’il associe au pesto, à la truffe ou bien à la prune. Le Koï affiche aussi à la carte des filets de bœufs Angus et des desserts aussi poétique que gourmands.
