A friend and I have dined here several times, we always get the banquet and have never been disappointed! Great quality meats and vegetables, lovely miso soup, a unique and enjoyable dining experience as opposed to just sitting and eating a meal. Excellent value for the money but be sure to book as it gets very busy even through the... More

We enjoyed the barbecue at Koh- Ya. It is great to be able to have some of the traditional meats and flavours - beef tongue flavoursome and chicken sinew was good and crunchy.

However there is a time limit and some dishes you can order for the number of person we have in the group. So please check the condition. I found $40 is... More

It's a bit pricey but the service is excellence! The food is good! Compare the resturants in Carins, it's cheap if you can eat a lot of meats!
