"Koyn is the restaurant equivalent of upstairs for thinking, downstairs for dancing. Upstairs is a serene dining room with quiet chatter and yellowtail being sliced behind the stunning sushi counter. Take your parents to show them that you almost definitely know what an ISA is now. Downstairs is a moody black and red den serving stand-up Thai dishes, that say “seduce me with satay”. Bring your date to show them that you almost definitely know what The Weeknd is talking about in 80% of his songs. Just know that you’re probably going to spend three figures—it’s a special occasion spot, or for when you’ve got the corporate card." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
