Koi Japanese Sushi Bar & Lounge

"Let's be honest. When you want good food, Beaumont, TX is not where you go. There is very little to offer regarding great cuisine. All hail the food Gods and let us give thanks for Koi! Tucked away, almost unnoticeable, is this fantastic Japanese inspired establishment. We ran into it by a happy accident. While not a large restaurant by any means, it it put together extremely well! The layout and decor is ambient and modern. The service was impeccable! Our server was Victoria- a very polite and charismatic young lady. Victoria knew the menu very well and took extra special care to accommodate my wife's food allergies- which is not common in this community. Our food consisted of Beef and chicken yakatori, salads, Sushi, and Beef Tenderloin Teriyaki with fried rice. The food was absolutely amazing. It was fresh, vibrant, and the Tenderloin Teriyaki was cooked to absolute perfection. The sushi was also fresh, and possessed exquisite flavor with the combination of the spices used. Fried rice is typically cooked in bulk. It can be dry and unpleasant. This fried rice was a fantastic compliment to my dish. It was cooked to order. Perfect! It was beaming with flavor and I loved it! We lived in Denver for many years. The Denver area is really a Renaissance of fine delicious food that has really made its mark in the restaurant industry. KOI could quite easily settle in a larger metropolitan area and compete just fine. The food was delicious. The service outstanding! You can tell these owners care about what comes out of that kitchen, and that my friends, deserves praise. Considering there isn't much at all in this area, I imagine we will eat here habitually for some time! Well done, KOI! 4.25 from this dining connoisseur! Eric and Tara!!"

"Went the first time for my birthday with my friends, we all loved it and will be going back. Immaculate vibe, service, food, and drinks. You definitely pay for the experience, but it's well worth it. Lovely drink presentation and food plating, along with it all being very delicious. Something kinda specific, but the couches and music really added to the overall comfyness. It's really refreshing and relaxing, very different from anywhere else you'll dine around here. I would heavily recommend this to anyone. P.S. if a manager is reading this, I don't remember his name, but whoever the white guy with glasses who was working on Feb 6th was, he was stellar."

"My sin was in from out of town like way up north. He took me to go eat here and it was the best experience... It was fabulous fabulous fabulous!! I ate things I normally would have never even ordered, and it was fantastic! I will go back for sure!!! Prices were even great for the quality of the food and atmosphere. Great place!!!"

"Won’t be back. The food wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great either. The fried rice was swimming in soy sauce. We ordered water as a drink and were charged for that. Looks like they charge you for water or even if you don’t order anything to drink at all. Our server did keep a check on us, so no marks against her."

"2 of the itmes pictured were not that flavorful. We did order a volcanoe roll that was pretty delicious. But the rolls were so tiny and the price was pretty high for Tiny pieces. We did sit In the lounge chairs. That was different, fun, and the seating was comfortable. You could tell it was family owned as the little girl up front asked us to buy chocolate from her. Loved that type of atmosphere where kids are there hanging out."
