Koyame Now Open

[Skip]

The Gourmet Club's website says that the new Chinese restaurant Koyame Asian Express (http://thevillagesgourmetclub.com/page1.html#K) in TV is open already. Sounds great too! Today's paper says that opening is still pending. Someone should tell The Daily Sun.

Has anyone eaten there yet? How does it compare to Cheng's and China Gourmet III in Colony Plaza?

Koyame sounds Japanese. Are you sure it is a Chinese restaurant?

[texasfal]

It's chinese, Japanese and Singaporese. It's Asian Fusion.

We went to Koyame tonight and really enjoyed it. My husband had Mongolian Beef and I had Shrimp Curry. Both of us thought our meals were delicious. I also like that we could "eat in" at a booth. We were there around 5:00 and most people were coming in for take out. I will definitely return.

Where would that be?

Publix shopping center just north of the hospital.

Had lunch there today -- very nice, good food -- we will go back.

My husband and i have eaten there many times since they opened. The food is very good probably the best in The Villages as far as that type of food. We tried to go again saturday early evening and they were packed they had a line out the door.

This is where Fratelli Pizzuti Pizza used to be and now close by to Whole Earth Pet Supply and the Florida Blood Center place.

We finally got around to trying Koyame Asian Express. FANTASTIC! Martin, the owner, is terrific and his staff cannot be beat.

Great lunch special (advertised on the Paper ). Great Food (Chinese & Thai). Sit Down tables or take out. Fast turnover when order is taken .

Wok & roll!

If this is the best one around, I guess we won't be trying many others!

We went there on 7/13 for lunch to try it out. We got Beef Fried Rice (they don't have normal pork fried rice), a PuPu platter and General Tao's chicken. The beef fried rice was soggy, seemed to be more steamed than fried - not like any fried rice we have ever had and not very tasty. The PuPu platter was "unusual", none of the stuff we normally get in a pupu platter in New England. The General Tao's chicken was tasteless and the broccoli with it was not even warm and almost raw.

The service on the other hand was excellent.

You may want to try the Chinese restaurant on Southern Trace. It has the Buffet as well as take out . It's very popular and does a vigorous business. It is called the China Buffet .

Thanks Skip. When we're away from The Bubble for the summer, it's always fun to hear about new businesses and restaurants opening up.

Sakura II (for lack of a better name) in La Plaza Grande will be open soon too. It'll relieve the pressure over the immensely popular location at Colony Plaza.

Great Bento Boxes here.

We've been there several times and each time we comment how much we really do enjoy the meal and the staff. Excellent food and decent prices and combined with excellent service. We've been there and will be back

Ate at Koyame for the third time last night. The food was as awesome as it was the two other times. The mongolian beef was delicious. My husband has Szechuan shrimp and loved it. The hot and sour soup was the best I've ever had and so was my husband's won ton soup. I've tried all the other places in the Villages and consider this to be the best. They have booths all along the wall. Room for about 25-30 to sit and also do alot of carry-out.
Can't wait to go back!:mmmm:

Great food! Great service! Great prices! Enough said.... Heard they have a new ad on the site and a new directory. Check it out people and give them feed back.

Thanks for the good advice - stay away from the PuPu.

I agree - really good

Loved the food - Mongolian Beef is outstanding as was the Thai Chicken.

[jackz]

good food, good service, good portions and great prices.

Can't beat the $5.95 luncheon specials that include soup or spring roll and choice of white or brown rice.

[ajmccar]

Skip - we have been there several times - been open for 2 months - Mongolian beef is outstanding and all the other dishes are very good. It's the best Asian carry out we have tried in TV.

We had dinner there last night. Excellent food, service and prices. After being disappointed at several other Chinese restaurants, both on and off campus, it's good to find a good one. We'll definitely go back.
