``I eat at Koi Kawa (koi river) next to Witte every 7 to 10 days - it's the only Japanese restaurant/sushi place that my very Japanese, traditional mom will eat at. I also have had sushi in Japan, Okinawa, and throughout the US including the West Coast and NYC. Koi Kawa is a restaurant that I am `studying' - mom won't order until I experiment. The best item to order for starters is the `Frost Bank Roll' - a cute play on sushi words - but well worth ordering. Maguro is the best standard order. One odd aspect of Koi Kawa (Witte location) is that gaijin do the cutting. The cute female wait staff is efficient, fast, and Japanese. If you want your meal in a certain order -let them know. Main course: stick to the tempura dinner - even for lunch. Finish with coconut sherbet.

``The atmosphere, overlook of river of koi - is incredible. The San Antonio zoo is nearby and the Koi Kawa (Witte Museum) is on a curve of the zoo river which is gathering place for about five different duck families. The window tables are worth a wait. I typically order tea, miso, sushi/sashimi, and another course or appetizer. I know that order of serving is not traditional - I just like it that way. As with all great unknown restaurants and hard to locate restaurants (about 500 feet) from Broadway - park at Witte nearest Boardwalk Shopping center. With the comment grid I tried to be accurate. This Koi Kawa compares favorably with sushi restaurants in Houston in terms of freshness, presentation, and atmosphere.''
