15 Essential Restaurants Near Downtown Knoxville
"Racking up a number of local culinary accolades since its opening in the fall of 2021, Koyo offers an elevated Japanese dining experience in downtown Knoxville. The menu rotates seasonally and currently includes a la carte options like crispy pork belly with kimchi and duck bulgogi with vegetables — though the omakase-style tasting menu is always an option. Koyo is owned by Nama Hospitality Group, which also includes Nama Sushi Bar and Harvest, which is known for its steak, seafood, and wine." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Kellie Walton
