Local tips
- Book a table in advance for Friday and Saturday evenings, as the compact dining room on Skolegade can fill quickly during peak hours.
- If you are unsure how much to order on all‑you‑can‑eat menus, start with a smaller selection and add more later to avoid food waste.
- For a balanced meal, combine a sushi platter with a few Korean barbecue items to experience both sides of the menu.
- The room can be noisy when busy; if you prefer a slightly calmer setting, consider visiting in the early afternoon or early evening.
- Wear comfortable, easily washable clothes if you plan to focus on Korean barbecue, as grilling at the table can leave a light food aroma.

Sushi and Korean barbecue in the heart of Esbjerg
Restaurant Lyokoi sits on Skolegade, one of Esbjerg’s most restaurant‑rich streets, and blends Japanese sushi with Korean barbecue in a single, buzzy space. Inside, the room feels compact and energetic, with closely set tables, simple modern furniture and the glow of tabletop grills adding warmth to the atmosphere. The concept is deliberately social. Much of the menu is built around sharing plates and generous sushi selections, encouraging you to order for the table rather than eat alone. It is a place where chopsticks clink against platters of maki and nigiri while sizzling meat cooks just an arm’s length away.Colorful rolls, hot grills and all‑you‑can‑eat options
Lyokoi’s menu focuses on classic sushi combinations – salmon, tuna, prawn and vegetarian rolls – alongside more elaborate specialty rolls topped with sauces and garnishes. Sushi is typically served in mixed sets, making it easy to sample a variety of flavors without studying every line of the menu. Korean barbecue is the other pillar here. Built‑in grills allow you to cook marinated meats and vegetables at your own pace, turning the meal into an interactive experience. All‑you‑can‑eat formulas are common, with a steady flow of sushi and barbecue items arriving as you order, making this a popular choice for groups with big appetites.Atmosphere, seating and pace of an evening
The dining room is relatively small, so the mood is lively rather than hushed. Conversations overlap, grills hiss and plates arrive regularly from the open kitchen. Couples squeeze into two‑tops along the walls while larger groups take over central tables, filling them with shared platters and dipping sauces. Decor leans toward modern and functional rather than ornate: clean lines, dark tables, bright plates of sushi providing much of the color. Because seating is quite close together, you are very much part of the room’s collective energy, which suits sociable evenings and casual dinners.Who it suits and how long to linger
Lyokoi is well suited to families with older children, groups of friends and couples looking for a relaxed, informal meal rather than a quiet, intimate setting. The all‑you‑can‑eat approach works well for mixed parties, as sushi fans, barbecue enthusiasts and those who prefer cooked dishes all find something to focus on. Plan on at least an hour to an hour and a half if you are trying both sushi and barbecue, and longer if you like to linger over multiple rounds. The pace is unrushed, and the format makes it easy to extend the evening with just one more platter.Practical details and when to go
Restaurant Lyokoi sits within easy reach of Esbjerg’s center, surrounded by other bars and eateries, which makes it convenient to combine with a stroll or post‑dinner drink nearby. As a mid‑priced restaurant, it offers good value for those wanting a substantial meal without heading into high‑end territory. Lunch hours on selected days and continuous afternoon‑to‑evening service on weekends mean it can serve as both a daytime sushi stop and a full dinner destination. Evenings, especially weekends, tend to be the busiest, when the compact room fills and the atmosphere is at its most animated.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
