Description
The eight seat, omakase-style restaurant opened in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The owners, Eric & Adriana Fralick, started planning the establishment after noticing a roughly 70% of the sales at their existing restaurant, Noble Rice, were for tasting menus; the space was the original location of Noble Rice, which moved to a larger location.[1]
The Tampa Bay Times named the Koya of the year's best new restaurants in January 2022.[4] Koya became one of the first three restaurants in Tampa to receive a Michelin star in May 2023, the second year restaurants in the city were eligible for the Florida Guide, with inspectors noting its "singular interpretation of Japanese cuisine."[5] It was a semifinalist in the Best New Restaurant category of the James Beard Foundation Awards in 2024.[6]
