Waitress was easy going, informed and genuine. Beets and baba ghanoush were the best things on the menu imo!  Restaurant beautifully decorated! Delicious drinks!

Food seemed a little off. Not exactly sure how to completely explain it, but it was happy hour and I wonder if the food maybe wasn't as fresh? Service and afmosphere still top notch, as usual.

KOEN is the only restaurant in Lincoln, NE where you can enjoy authentic Japanese BBQ flavors pre-marinated and brought to you plated and ready to grill to your liking. Every guest becomes a world-class chef with personal smoke-less grills built right into each table. Specially designed ventilation systems pull smoke away and vent completely outside, so you can relax in a clean and healthy atmosphere.

Our waitress was not very attentive. We ordered a platter that was supposed to come with soup and cheesecake and she never brought the soup and we had to ask for our cheesecake. We also ordered jalapeño poppers, which she also forgot to bring, but remembered and they were delivered cold on the outside and lukewarm in the middle. Our bill was $135 before tax or tip, and the service did not meet my expectations for the amount of money we spent. The food quality was amazing though.

About the restaurant
Time to ditch the ordinary and level up your night. Our duckpin bowling lanes are for those who know how to mix a little play with their cocktails. Sip on our signature drinks, show off your skills (or at least your style), and let the good times roll. Whether it’s date night, squad goals, or just a reason to strut your stuff—reserve your lane now before someone cooler does.
