Koen Japanese BBQ & Izakaya (Blackstone)

Looks like a place called Koen Japanese BBQ & Izakaya is going here. There is a place by the same name in Lincoln.

I think this place may have opened:

This restaurant is open in Blackstone. I have eaten there. I found it falls into the same category as these new Brazilian Steakhouses. It's a novelty, expensive, and the food is average. Now if your looking for a fun, engaging evening with a group, I could recommend. But if you looking for the best Japanese, Sushi, Or Thai, I would look elsewhere.

Why are you comparing this with Brazillian churrascaria or Thai food? Prices look the same as any other Japanese restaurant in the area.

Ugh

you can find better Asian elsewhere.

Just generalizing the food from a continent of over 2 billion people.

When I dine at a restaurant at the end of the meal I ask and answer two questions. 1. Would I return to dine there? And, if I answer that question in the affirmative, 2. Would I order the same menu items again?
What I never worry about is any consideration as to whether the restaurant is the very best (sushi/ Brazilian/ Italian etc.) dining experience in the metro. The “good” shoulder never be the enemy of the “perfect”.
