Koyame Still the Best Chinese Around!
 
My husband and I decided to get Chinese take out tonight and ONCE again, we are very satisfied with Koyame in the Publix shopping Center near Ollies frozen custard. If you have not tried it, try it even for lunch one day. Food is great and prices very good given the portions. They will substitute brown rice instead of white with no upcharge!! :laugh:

We love the Walnut Prawns!

ladylake1 08-24-2014 09:19 AM

I agree!!!! It is the only Chinese restaurant we will patronize.

I also like their garlic chicken and King Pao are great.

We agree. Great lunch prices!!!

The only down side to Koyame is Ollies at the other end of the shopping center.........;)

Are there any restaurants in TV that deliver? I'm lazy.

Can not go wrong at Koyame. Food is very good. Portions are generous. Hot food is served hot. Look for their coupons in the paper.

Not to be picky about words, but isn't Koyame (Koyamae) Japanese?

They bill themselves as an Asian restaurant. Asian, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai

Funny, and I agree! My dietary Achilles heel!

DigitalGranny 11-13-2014 02:06 PM

It's great! We eat there at least once a week. Tip: get Carryout at the end of lunch -then for lunch prices, you have dinner the next night! We eat in and carry another meal home most of the time

Koyame
 
After reading previous posts we decided to try. Absolutely delicious. My wife who isn't too crazy about Chinese, can't stop raving about it. Everything tasted fresh and was served hot. And to top it off we found the coupon in the Sun. It' swell worth the drive from Brownwood.

mmac321 11-14-2014 07:57 AM

We agree
 
Koyame is by far the best.

rdhdleo 11-14-2014 09:06 AM

I guess we'll have to give it another try. We tried it a few months after it opened and we're not impressed at all. We even went back a couple more times to try other dishes. Yes prices were pretty good as were the portions but still nothing compares to real Chinatown food. One time I tried the Walnut shrimp and the walnuts had a burnt taste to them. Every place around here seems to always lack in the use of Chinese vegetable, where are the bean sprouts, bok choy, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, snow pea pods? Heck even LaChoy canned chow mien has some of these!

It's in the Publix plaza near the hospital on 441 near Buenas Aires. Koyame isn't near the south end of the plaza. Ollies is near the other end.

For the cheapskate diy’ers in the villages here is an alternate route:
Aldis has a variety of Asian sauces available now for $2 a jar. This includes orange sauce, teriyaki sauce and General Tso's sauce. I stir fry whatever veggies and meat I have on hand and add a tablespoon or two of sauce. Don’t forget the garlic, ginger and dried hot peppers if you like it spicy. Take a little cornstarch and shake it up in a jar with a little cold water and throw that in as a thickener.

I can cook it, clean it and eat it in less time than doing pick-up for a fraction of the price. Get creative.

Clarify location please!

That's easy. Ollies is next to Koyame.

MoeVonB61 11-14-2014 11:43 PM

KOYAME is in the Spanish Plaines Publix shopping Center on Route 441...it's the Publix Plaza that has the Central Florida Blood Bank on the far end( right next to the hospital)....Ollies is for dessert...a walk down to the other end of the shopping plaza (next to First Watch).

BeetleBailey 11-25-2014 10:28 AM

We agree. Great food & service.

BeetleBailey 11-25-2014 10:32 AM
