We chose Koki to celebrate my birthday this year at Capella Hanoi. Koki - House of Senses, unites Japanese flavours through Akio Bar & Lounge, Hibana's MICHELIN Star Teppanyaki, and Izakaya's MICHELIN selected curated dishes. It was an enchanting feast for the senses with layers of flavours embedded in each single dish. The teppanyaki menu includes the freshest seafood and beef dishes which were elegantly presented with attentive service.
Staff was detailed-oriented and professional, and were keen to chat with customers to make their day. A birthday touch was also offered for my celebration to complete our joyous evening.
I had an exceptional lunch at KOKI. From the very first bite to the last, every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The quality and attention to detail truly stood out.
The service was just as impressive, attentive, professional, and welcoming throughout the entire experience. I was especially honored to have Chef Yama personally prepare our meal and take the time to explain his inspiration, ingredients, and preparation techniques. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable.
Thank you, Chef. It was a privilege to enjoy your cuisine.
They have a sparkling tea which is so good and not too sweet. The root and green salads were great. The miso black cod was so flavorful and comes with egg roll and mashed potatoes with carrot in it (never had that before but so good). Chicken yakitori is huge and there are 8 diff kinds of skewers and came with yellow zucchini. Some have a glaze and some are just salted. Shrimp ramen was yummy. The mochi is great. Then got all three ice creams. Coconut was probably our favorite and the sweetest. Matcha one was very strong and good but just be prepared for a strong matcha taste. Black sesame was great too (more savory than sweet). Make sure to try the sake drip infused with fruit. Service is outstanding!
We went to Hibana by Koki for lunch and loved it. The food was amazing (especially the wagyu), and having Chef Yamaguchi cook for us made the whole experience feel really special. The service is exactly what you’d expect at this level — polished and seamless.
Such an epic night with great chefs who entertain and educate. You see each course being made and watch experts create greatness. The staff is incredibly attentive and the courses weave together. It’s an elegant fun night and a paradise. Great experience
