A Japanese restaurant has closed six months after launching at a well-known spot in Cardiff city centre. Koi No Yokan opened last July on the ground floor of the Windsor Place building which had previously been home to the popular music venue Buffalo Bar.
Alexander Taylor, the owner of Koi, reopened Buffalo on the site's first floor in September. The venue and bar continues to trade after Koi's recent closure.
Koi took inspiration from Japan's izakaya bars which offer small plates and alcohol. The business aimed to serve "delicious, modern, naughty Japanese-inspired" food and had an average rating of 4.4 stars out of five after 26 Google reviews.
