Koi Kawa Japanese Restaurant

Second time here with my girlfriend and it’s become her favorite place to eat in San Antonio. Traditional, delicious food is hard to come by and this place nails it! If you havent tried this restaurant I would highly recommend it! Great people, great food, great experience! We’ll be back soon!

This place was truly amazing! Went here after a visit to the botanical gardens. I will say I recommend using google to find this place (after you park) because it is tucked away and hard to find when it is dark out!). Sushi is extremely fresh tasting and the flavors are bright. Service was decent as well. Only complaint is appetizers came out at the same time as the sushi but not enough to ruin the experience. We will definitely be back when we are on this side of town again! (Now that we can find it!!!!)

This is my first time come here and I really enjoyed my meal here! The food was so delicious and the portions were very generous. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a really nice atmosphere. My family definitely come back again!

The madai (Japanese sea bream) and Suzuki was buttery, fresh, and delicious enough to order twice. I love the presentation with the fan shaped plates 🪭 Seating at the sushi bar was fast, service was excellent, and the salmon and madai both were delicious.

A Surprisingly Good Sushi Spot (Even for a Non-Sushi Fan). Hidden away, almost as if it's playing a game of culinary hide-and-seek behind a few other buildings, we found a little sushi gem. It felt very much by itself, which, in a way, added to its charm. Large windows offered a nice view, letting in plenty of light. Now, I'm not really a sushi guy myself – I'm more into other food – but some of my family members definitely are, and they gave it a hearty "pretty good" stamp of approval. The prices seemed pretty normal; from my perspective, not cheap, not outrageous. The service was good, attentive without being intrusive. The restaurant isn't huge, which gives it a cozy, authentic feel. I was actually a little surprised to see quite a few people dining solo, a testament, perhaps, to its quiet appeal. The decor is decent, nothing over the top, but it definitely feels very genuine, like you've stepped into a little piece of Japan. If you're a sushi person, or even if you're just looking for a solid meal in a place that feels off the beaten path, I'd say this spot is definitely worth checking out

The server we had did a pretty good job. Regards to the quality of the food, I wish it was better. My friend got the friend fish and I got the beef. Maybe, we should have ordered the sushi because the food is mediocre best. The soup was well prepared. But the salad was too sour. The main dish needed more flavor. Again maybe sushi is what they are know for because the main dishes was not it. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, and they had a bunch of tables by the windows that overlook the pond, which was nice to see animals like ducks.

We came in right before close and they were happy to serve us. My boyfriend got the chirashi bowl and I got 6 pieces of nigiri of the Akami and chutoro which was amazing I was so happy with it. The sushi chef even surprised us with a yam popsicle after dinner!! They are so nice and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back and suggest everyone to try them out!

Hidden gem tucked away in a little business plaza. Sat immediately at Sushi Bar. My husband and I LOVE white tuna... and they have it! So yummy. And then the extremely tender A5 Wagyu off the special. If you're looking for sushi while in San Antonio give them a shot!

It was such a hard place to find, but my goodness! Such a lovely space! Seems like you're stepping into a little Japanese shop. The decorations are very nice. The service was fine, souvenirs liked to have been checked on a bit more often, but can't complain. Listen, the fish...AMAZING. Started off with the cucumber salad that was so crunchy and fresh. My friend and I got 5 rolls. Nothing tastes fishy, it was so fresh and melt in your mouth. Will definitely come back! So worth the money!

We happened to find this through Google maps. It took us a while to find the actual building because the area is pretty empty and looks almost abandoned. We eventually found the parking lot where everyone else parked their cars. This is the kind of place where to not judge a book by it's cover because we has a fantastic meal here! We started out with the Tempura, it was good but just a tad bland. But obviously we didn't come here for that, we came for the sushi. My husband got two rolls, Kiss of Fire (Tuna, Hamachi and Avocado topped with Seared Tuna, Jalapeño, Spicy Mayo, Chili, Habanero Tobiko), and Heaven & Hell (Albacore and Avocado topped with Massage, Spicy Tuna, Jalapeño, Crumbs, Spicy Mayo, Chili). These were the two I pointed out for him and he really enjoyed them. It's usually hard for us to come across a sushi restaurant where they have spicy rolls that don'e include cream cheese or anything fried because he's really not a fan of those in his sushi. I got Koi Kawa Sushi set that had 9 pieces of Nigiri, and I loved everything about it! The fish was fresh and they were a decent size for the price. This has got to be at the top of my list of favorite sushi restaurant in TX, so we will most definitely be back!!

Having grown up in San Antonio, I was finally introduced to this place by my brother who apparently has been frequenting here for years! Depending on where you are parked, it could be difficult to find as this place is hidden towards the back of the center. However, once you do stumble upon this place, you are warmly greeted upon entry and we were seated right away for our party. The service was friendly and the recommendations were perfect and hit the spot! We opted for all various appetizers and rolls, with my favorite being the Kiss of Fire roll! The fish was fresh and the portions were just right! Now I know how to find this spot, I will definitely be back again. Enjoy!

Came back to this spot after years! I originally went on a date here ages ago, and while the date didn't stick, the memory of how good the takoyaki was definitely did! So I came back with a friend for dinner, and it was just as amazing as I remembered. It was a chill Tuesday evening, busy, but not too packed, so we were able to catch up and enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. I was craving something fried and sushi-like, and the Sara Roll hit the spot. The salmon skin roll was also a standout super flavorful and filling. I thought I'd have leftovers, but I ended up eating every single bite. No regrets! Our server, an older lady, was so sweet and attentive. She gave my friend a salmon roll recommendation that was spot-on! my friend loved it and finished the whole thing. Overall, such a solid spot for good sushi, great service, and chill vibes. Definitely planning to be back soon.

Although very isolated and hidden, this was a great sushi spot! Very limited parking around so keep that in mind. We went Friday night and there wasn't really that long of a wait, so that was a plus. We ordered a few different roles - First Kiss and Samurai (pictured with the avocado and dots of sriracha) the other rolls I don't remember the names but were really good! I specially liked the shrimp tempura role with what looked to be spicy tuna on top.

This place was so cutely placed in a little shopping area. It's unfortunate that it's so far in the back. I think the sushi was actually really delicious. I cannot eat raw sushi for a few months but it looks really quality and the sushi chefs are really good. The food I did have, the miso soup and the twin dragons, were really delicious. Sometimes it's hard to find a place where the miso soup is nicely prepared. The first time I had this place, the eel was a bit squishy but the second time the eel was much better. I'll probably come a 3rd time before I leave San Antonio on Jan 15th.

Went for my bday. The fish was very fresh. The atmosphere was neat and the window overlooked the river.

Snuck away on my lunch break for a solo sushi date (my favorite!). I went here.. hadn't been in several years.. and it's better than I remember! Friendly and attentive staff and chef! I tried the IZ roll and got a salmon hand roll and it was delicious! This restaurant is tucked behind a couple buildings behind Press Coffee. The sushi is good, not my favorite in San Antonio, but good! I'd return :)

I like this little hidden gem. The inside is spacious, warm, and inviting. Our waitress was great and explained the menu. We ordered the Sara roll, hand roll, tuna sushi, tappanyaki (chicken) and a couple of te-maki's. The food was fresh and yet flavorful. The Sara roll was probably my favorite thing on the menu.

Wonderful ambience. Food was amazing. They have the best takoyaki in San Antonio. The parking and area is a little weird as it is surrounded by offices but it's worth the awkwardness. I went when it was quite slow so the service was fast.

My go-to sushi place in SATX. They have a selection of fish from Tsukiji which is always so yummy! Pictures attached to this review is from my most recent visit, but I've never ordered anything here that wasn't delicious and picture-worthy. Quality and service is consistently excellent, which keeps me coming back regularly.

Fish is very fresh- definitely better than most sushi places here. Their miso is also very good. But- In my opinion, the value isn't there for what they charge. I ordered the samurai roll and it was 6 small pieces drenched in sriracha for almost $20. The other rolls were similarly priced $15-20 but the portions were tiny. Note-I do not expect these huge super sized rolls but I do expect to get my money's worth and this place did not deliver. Sushihana has a similar vibe and price, but the value is there and worth every penny.

I can't sing enough praises about Koi Kawa! It's exactly what my husband and I had longed for in a while. My husband is originally from Maui and definitely a sushi connoisseur in my opinion! I trust his opinion whole heartedly. We moved here from Florida and sadly, after searching far and wide for months we just did not find the quality of sushi we are used to. I first searched and read articles and blogs on good sushi in the San Antonio area and reading one article that mentioned Koi Kawa getting some of their fish from Japan sold me on it! I knew this place would be special. Yelp also had raving reviews but mostly I just felt this place would be a hit! It's a bit hidden in the plaza it's in and aesthetically the location itself was so Zen and welcoming! There's a small pond outside and large glass windows that allow natural light to pour into the entire restaurant. We ordered edamame and hamachi sashimi as appetizers! The hamachi was phenomenal. The perfect cut , temperature, quality and consistency! We each ordered a roll and they were also above par! The roll I ordered is the "281" and my husband ordered "the Bellagio" roll. Just a warning, the Bellagio is pretty spicy! As if the quality of sushi wasn't enough, the presentation of the dishes is so detailed. I am very appreciative of details like this! Our server Alex is wonderful server! Very prompt and attentive to our needs! I am so grateful to have found this gem of a sushi restaurant and I cannot wait to return and try new rolls and items on their menu ! Arigato Koi Kawa for such a wonderful culinary experience!

Came here for the first time for a friends birthday. It's definitely a popular place for lunch on a Saturday and the place was full but we still got great service. The food came out fast and the server was very attentive and quick. I tried the gyoza and fiesta roll which were both delicious. The gyoza are large and the spicy tuna in the roll has more of a kick than normal! My friends got the sushi boat and it was a beautiful presentation. The restaurant is at the back of the boardwalk area near the Witte and faces the park/river for a nice view.

We had excellent service by a young lady this evening-it's a small sushi restaurant tucked away in the back of a little shopping village that doesn't seem very active. However the restaurant was surprisingly busy for a Tuesday night. Here we found: -chicken karage 3/5 meh -gyoza 5/5 thin skinned- very good - needed to add more soy sauce to the dipping sauce -miso soup 4/5 -seaweed salad 3/5 huge quantity -Tempura udon 4/5 standard fare Veggies could be done a little more -California roll 2/5 meh I don't like crab salad- very little avocado and I couldn't find the cucumber -spider roll 4/5 huge roll -Chronic roll 4/5 -first kiss roll -red devil 4/5 -chicken teriyaki - 2/5 no grill marks-sauce needs work -fatty tuna from Japan 5/5 excellent, fresh -madai from Japan- 5/5 another winner

This is my go-to for lunch sushi- close to work, quick service and yummy sushi. I always get the bento box. My only wish is the bento came with a portion of edamame.

A very inviting space with plenty of space. The staff was very friendly and efficient with service. The sushi is really great as they have plenty of fishes from Japan. The sushi rice is excellent. Love the tempura because the batter is light and crispy just like in Japan. Lunch menu have great selections and awesome price. The restaurant is tuck away in the back parking lot. This was a true hidden gem. Highly recommend you try it again. We will be back when we are in San Antonio.

My number go to for sushi! Quality of food, above reproach. The service was excellent and we never went without a refill. I he food is prepared per order so we got a tasty cucumber salad while we waited. Ambiance is so much like restaurants in Japan. Not overly done, very serene, very clean, immediately greeted upon entering...can't say enough about this place!

The only downside is that it's hard to find. You have to park and walk towards the inside of the shopping area. Anyways that's the only con... the rest are all pros. Fresh delicious sushi, amazing lunch specials, the ambiance was great, our server was great as well, very nice gentleman. The seaweed salad is great!! My mom got the shrimp tempura and it's massive with big veggies also fried tempura style. It was so good! Would love to go back. The lemonade is (Minute Maid from fountain) just fyi! The green hot tea looked good too!

The Food was AMAZING! Very traditional and a lot of options! I will definitely be coming back

This Japanese restaurants has such a beautiful interior and exterior! The inside has lots of natural lighting, beautiful artwork on the walls, and a lovely view of a lake. Our server was attentive. I ordered the bento box ($15). The fish tasted really fresh, and the gyoza was crispy! I liked the salad that was lightly favored with a tangy sauce. For the price, I think this is an okay value. I would pay a little more to have all you can eat at Umiya (another sushi restaurant in San antonio).

This is a place that you wouldn't visit unless you know about it or someone told you. So this is me telling you. Second time visiting. Ordered gyoza, tar tar, and Yakitori to start. Chicken was cooked just right. The gyoza, although not the best I've had; were very good. Tar tar was delicious. A little spicy but yet and still, very good. Second course we ordered Spider Roll and Dream Roll. Both rolls for stuff and made very well. Service was a bit slow. Which was surprising when you consider that the restaurant was not busy at all. Nonetheless, this is a great spot that is off in the cut. Give them a try Forgive me for not providing pics of the apps, was ready to eat when we arrived

We really enjoyed the food and exceptional service we received. The atmosphere was very relaxed.

This place is beautiful with such great scenery while eating indoors! Once inside your greeted by many of the workers! All very informative and great hosts! The food was filling and super fresh! I didn't take no picture of the food due to being home so quickly! Great sushi ! Had the mas Vegas roll , brother had a superb looking dish with all fresh thick pieces of raw fish served with rice which tasted beyond fresh and flavorful! Would definitely recommend this place for all ages ! Couples night , family night the ambiance is just perfect!

My fiancé and I were in the mood for Japanese food and came across this restaurant! It is in a hidden corner in a plaza near UIW - I definitely would have not found it without Yelp's help. It was so cozy in there! Quiet and not packed. We didn't wait long for service, our server was polite and fast. The food was great; my fiancé had a rainbow roll and I had chicken yakisoba. We split some karaage which I didn't get a chance to take a photo of - it was gone in a couple of minutes. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I'm so glad we stopped by because now we have a place to eat Japanese food at that is not fusion. My only suggestion would be if they'd add beef and vegetable skewers. I noticed they carried chicken teriyaki ones but we really miss it at Japanese restaurants. We have not located another one in town that serves it. Thank you!

Was craving sushi per usual so decided to try this spot. It is definitely tucked away in the back of a lot and the restaurant overlooks a little pond and park. We dined in for lunch on a Saturday around noon and were seated immediately. There were also about 4 or 5 other parties seated. - Chicken Katsu Bento: the chicken was very juicy and tender. The California roll pieces, salad, and potstickers were ok. - Chirashi bowl: I thought the pieces of fish were not too fresh. I can't determine what type of fish was in the front, but there were bits toward the bottom of the slice of fish that were dry and a bit crusty. There was also a sheen on the fish that looked a little green. - Bluefin Tuna Handroll: also ok, I did not feel like the bluefin was as "melt in your mouth" as bluefin normally is. - Kiss of Fire Roll: A bit of kick from the jalapeno but otherwise, I felt the flavor was a bit lacking. The tuna wasn't dry but didn't have its normal juicy/fresh flavor. Overall, an average Japanese joint. Perhaps we caught the restaurant on an off day but I don't think you are missing out on much if you skip this restaurant. I will say the service is great, our server was attentive and checked in often to ensure we had everything we needed.

Amazing service, waiter was super nice. The designs of the menu, the bar just the building in general is perfect. And the food was absolutely delicious. From the poki to the A5 Wagyu, everything was just perfect. 10/10 my only gripe is my stomach wasn't big enough for more.

We loved it so much My kids loved the teriyaki chicken kids boxes. The sushi was excellent. I highly recommend the surf and turf and it's a great location for a date night. Can't wait to come back. Excellent service.

I enjoyed the rolls here! We got the kiss of fire, dream roll, and eel roll, and they were all really good! The kiss of fire was a specialty roll and was the most expensive, so it was the best out of the three in my opinion, but the other two were really good too! Between two people, three rolls was enough for us. The inside has plenty of seating and windows and it was very nice! The windows looked out to a little river (although it had some construction going on right now) and the restaurant is in a quaint little lot that had lots of other things to do around.

Great food and service; my daughter and I love the atmosphere. The service has always been friendly and welcoming.

This restaurant was recommended to us by someone my husband knows. It was a long drive but we finally had the opportunity to try it. Worth the drive and traffic. It's a little hidden gem that gets busy. I have not had sushi that fresh in a long time. We ordered a Big Boss and a shrimp tempura roll and then took a couple of rolls to go; a Sara roll and Cucumber paradise. The only negative thing I would say is that the shrimp tempura roll was kind of small. But the flavor was so good it didn't matter. The service was fast and friendly and we are looking forward to going back.

Koi Kawa has great ambiance! The restaurant is tucked in the back of the shopping center and has a surprisingly wonderful view. The sushi is not my favorite because it is doused in sauce. The sushi is not very traditional nor focused on fresh fish. The ramen is super good!

Great Japanese food! We got 3 rolls (Bluefin roll, Kiss of Fire, and something else with salmon, scallop, and spicy tuna (my fav!)), Katsudon, and they were all amazing and have great quality. The vibe is more casual, can get a bit loud, but it's a cute restaurant and can be good for a date. Our server and chefs were all incredibly nice. Highly recommend!

This has always been one of my favorite places to eat the food and ambience is amazing! The service is always great everyone is very friendly!

Delicious and awesome! So many unique rolls to try. If you're looking for something quiet, romantic, quick, and bougie; this is not the place. This place is authentic, unique, and paced for perfection to match the art you'll be served. The artwork on the wall is sweet and perfect for the Instagram pictures. 281 and the Heaven & Hell rolls were my favs. Been twice already and I'm very certain we'll be back soon.

I'd like to start by saying Arigato! I have been searching far and wide for quality sushi here in Texas and I have finally found it. In my opinion there are certain fish, cuts, and styles that are required for a place to stand out as authentic. It was fascinating to me that this place had otoro and uni, two of my favorites. The quality of fish here and the way it is cut and served has far surpassed my expectations. The hamachi sashimi was served on a light bed of ice which kept it cool and at a perfect temperature, the texture and consistency of the cuts were perfect which made it all the more delicious. Although I prefer nigiri over rolls, I wanted to see how they served the rolls and the specialty behind them. The presentation, flavor, and delicate care put into each roll was fabulous, all of the ingredients were delicious. The restaurant itself was beautiful and very authentic, it had the sushi bar set up like you'll see in movies as well as a very personable seating that felt very zen. The ambiance is what you'd expect in a sushi restaurant. Last but not least the service was fantastic and our waiter Alex was very helpful and kind. As we left I felt responsible to give thanks to the chef as our meal was delicious and memorable. He gave a kind arigato in return. What a fantastic place to eat!

We came across this restaurant on accident. We tried going to a nearby place that had a crazy long wait, which seems to be normal the past few months. This restaurant is in the back of a large parking lot and there is plenty of other parking within a comfortable walk. We got here shortly after they opened. We were sat right away, but the service was pretty slow. They seemed understaffed, but everyone was really nice. My wife got the chicken katsu bento box and I got a nigiri bento box. Both came with miso soup, gyoza, and salad with ginger dressing. We both enjoyed our food and everything came out great. My box didn't have the types of nigiri listed on the menu, but I enjoyed it all. Our table was against the window and we had a great view of the river and could see into the park on the other side. We took advantage of the path right outside the restaurant and had a nice walk in the park.

This place is a little hidden gem. It's all the way in the back of the little shopping area but it is totally worth it! I ordered the 5-Piece Nigiri + 1/2 Tekka Maki + 1/2 Kappa Maki. This plate has a little bit of everything. All of the fish was very fresh. I would definitely come back for more. The soup was super tasty! Over all a great spot that doesn't exaggerate their prices and keeps their quality high.

Food was delicious, we loved every roll we had. nigiris are also really good, and we were satisfied with the overall service. service was fast and the place is really nice it is almost peaceful because theres a view from the inside.

The food and service haas always be consistently good. Nice to have real authentic Japanese food here in San Antonio.

Waitperson (Cole?) was very attentive and food was nicely prepared. But my dining experience, the enjoyment of my meal was ruined by the adults sitting at a table way across the restaurant from mine. Those "adults" allowed their child to incessantly scream for the entire time I was in the restaurant. Management should have told the table that their food order would be prepared as a take out order and that they would have to leave the restaurant. I wonder if I would have been refused service if had taken off my shirt and removed my shoes. Restaurant staff did their best, but management failed miserably. My receipt included a "How are we doing?" code that did nothing.... I'm going to Sushihanna next time I'm hungry for Japanese fare.

My husband and I really enjoyed our meal. Miso soup was perfection. Chicken karage had a nice crunch, good flavor. The fish was very fresh and vegetables, sauces were all made well. Can't wait to visit again.

I've had two outstanding sushi to-go dinner experiences thanks to Koi Kawa. First time, my friend picked a bunch of her favorites and we shared everything. The second time, my friend from out of town and I picked a bunch of rolls. Both times the food was delicious and perfectly done. Stand-outs for me were Ichiban roll, Bluefin and Crush On You (don't knock the goat cheese / sushi combo until you try it). Recently, I went for a solo lunch visited and ordered the Ichiban. I was sadly disappointed at the quality. The tuna in the roll was not cut well. I'm hoping that's a fluke because this place impressed me so much those first two to-go times.

It is a nice place within a nice little area. You get a pretty good view out of their windows while you eat so the atmosphere is great. Shoyu Ramen wasn't bad at all. The soup base was amazing and not overly done. Some shoyu base can be super strong but this one was just right! I've had many a ramen and a lot of bad ones but this one is pretty mid. The chashu wasn't a fall off the bone type of pork like others I've had and it was slightly tougher. Overall it the ramen was still good and had great flavor to it. Spider Roll was your typical roll so I can't complain about it. The soft shelled crab was great! Usually the spider rolls you can't eat the ends because of how hard the crab is but these were great and you can eat the whole thing without any issues!

Chu was a friendly server. The ambiance of the restaurant was very authentic and beautiful. The decorations made you feel you were in Japan. The sushi itself was very fresh, and the rolls came out quickly. The fish and crab was fresh which melted in the mouth. We also ordered the house salad and miso soup was also very good and tasteful

From my experience, this is probably the best Sushi place in San Antonio. The Hamichi Kama is always good and the atmosphere is amazing. It's in a park like setting, surrounded by huge trees . It's possible it's on the famous "river" but it looks more like muddy backwaters ... Nonetheless, the place has delicious food , And it is the best I have yet to have here in San Antonio. I am still looking for Blackened Redfish.

SO, so disappointing! We came here because we thought it would be cute and we were in the mood for Japanese. We get there, order, and turns out the kitchen closed most of the stoves(?) and they only had the fryer. So I had to change one of my orders to a fried dish (that's fine). Well my partner ordered a shrimp and vegetable tempura dinner and all that arrives is the plate of tempura (the dinner was supposed to come with rice, salad, and soup). No one comes by to see us - when they finally arrive, I get what was pictured above (a katsu pork bowl). The breading was soggy, I have no idea what the scrambled egg look to it is from, and just overall mushy. I'm not sure what happened in the kitchen or if they let it sit out too long before they got it to me. As for my partner, turns out they gave them the appetizer and not the dinner so they would not be receiving the rice, soup, or salad. When asked, they said they could order those separately - we decided not to, because we realized it would cost more and we were starving. We asked how much it would cost and they said it would be $7. We decided it would be fine and finished our meal. Time comes to pay our check and it was not in fact 7, but 12.50. At this point we are extremely annoyed with the service and food and confused as to why the price was different from what they said. The server tried to fix it, but couldn't fix the discrepancy. It wasn't an issue of price, but of a mixed up order and being told incorrect information. Something to note was that the head chef was not there because of a broken thumb(?), the dishwasher wasn't there, and the manager also wasn't there. So....who is in charge back there that's causing this place to be so chaotic and disorganized?! If the head chef isn't there because of a health issue, why isn't the manager there to help run this ship? I'm sure that this was maybe an off day. Will we be going back? No. If you do go and decide to get the pork katsu bowl - pray that it doesn't end up like mine. If you get the shrimp and tempura dinner - be sure to specify that it's the dinner. Overall, pray that the head chef has working thumbs.

Don't ever show up looking for lunch at 2:15 and think they'll honor the lunch menu that ends at 2:30. There was no one here and plenty of seats. Took 12 minutes for someone to come seat us. We finally got to order at 2:32 and they refused to honor the lunch menu. I've never been to a restaurant that wouldn't honor it. I even asked the manager, who went to ask the owner and was told no. It's not even the price difference I care about, it's more the principle. Additionally, the Coke was out so we were only told there was Diet Coke or Dr Pepper. What they failed to mention was that the Diet Coke came in cans and there would be no refills. The Dr Pepper was fountain and would have refills. I could stop there but to pour salt in the wound the glass I was given had lipstick on it.

Overcharged teen girls birthday who paid separately, you added the 30% gratuity to all individual charges. If it was one person paying for 10 people that's understandable but if it's 4 people paying for 10 people you don't get to add a 30% charge to all 4 cards and tell the teen girls that's just how it is because you're an adult who can force kids to pay. And on top of forcing them to pay unnecessary fees you were also rude to them for whatever reason. Not a good look.
