Koi

"Came for a birthday dinner around 8pm, place wasn't packed only had a couple of tables filled. Food was average for Chinese food, thought it would be a bit more up scale for the price paid but it was overall just good. Got various dishes like fried rice, noodles, crab Rangoon's, squid, and kung pao chicken; all were good. Overall for the price paid was expecting more however no issues with food, no issues with service."

"(A very generous 4 stars - read on) I joined a friend here for Asian food and they were very gracious in seating us early, as we arrived thirty minutes sooner than our reservation. Having lived in various points in the Pacific Rim, I must say they have a very creative take on fusion and many delights. The ambience was wonderful - curved tall sweeping walls of river rock punctuated with some very nice minimal design touches. While I generally really dislike banquettes, theirs was so vast and afforded so much room between tables that it was quite comfortable - and beautiful. We started with shrimp wonton soup. The broth was the nectar of the gods - as good as any homemade broth and the wontons were fresh made and thin, enveloping an almost too large whole shrimp.. Delicious despite the baby bok choy being inedible. Also as a starter, we ordered the spring rolls whose outer layers were microscopically thin and just perfectly crisp. We ordered four entrees and dined family style. The Vietnamese Shaking Beef dish was an epiphany. Im not a huge fan of filet mignon but they diced it smaller as one would for a beef stew and somehow managed to sear all six sides of each cube! This was accompanied by a masterful almost impossibly small brunoise of vegetable and other flavors that just sang. I would go there for that alone (OK and maybe the soup) We also had the Scallops and Mushrooms. The sauce ingredients listed included fish sauce and sounded wonderful but the hand in that department was tragically heavy, taking away all the sweetness (and lack of fishiness) that I love best about scallops. Our meal was rounded out by a respectable Buddha Delight vegetable medley and chicken fried rice. (and almost not worth mentioning but curious, the fortune cookies were stale and extra stupid) So why the grudging 4 stars?? After the main courses arrived, I found 2 of them to be just a tad underseasoned for my taste and neither of us could get our waitress or anyone else's attention for so long that the food was cooling off quite a bit. FINALLY I saw a gentleman (Maitre d'?) and flailed my arms because I wasn't going to let one more staff enter and never even bother to scan the room. He asked almost incredulously if I meant him and I said ANYBODY - I really need some soy sauce and a salt shaker. He acknowledged and a few minutes later don't I see him tell a different staff member I need this.....and then i wait and a few more minutes after that, they go and tell my actual server I need these!! So this clown made me go through three rungs of the chain of command for something that would have taken him thirty seconds! This is very piss-offing in a place that cost $240 or so for two."

"terrible service, food is OK (nothing special). It took forever to get drinks (and dinner). Place was not busy at all, many empty tables when we came in. They did not have a bartender and were getting drinks from another location. One drink came ten minutes before the 2nd one. When we realized drinks were not a real option, we asked if ordering a beer would be better? "Yes, no problems with beer". Then we waited 10 minutes for beer and watched next table get theirs in 1 minute. Crazy. Don't even know why I left any tip. Even had to chase down the waiter for check. The place is a hot mess."

"I normally don’t like this type of food. This time it was delicious. The only issue wasn’t the food. It was the lack of people they had to work. Even though they didn’t have enough employees the service was still amazing. I ordered the beef with vegetables. I highly recommend. If you are near this restaurant and don’t know where to eat, go to Koi!"
