“We were able to try the following: Pomegranate Lychee Belini Lychee Martini Vegetable Spring Rolls Vegetable Dumplings Damage Vegetable Maki Rolls Dragon Fire Maki Everything was fresh and delicious and a great time was had by all attendees”
What happened to this restaurant??. Koi USED to be one of my most favorite restaurants until tonight.
Went in on a weekday for lunch.
Food is good but it took so long to serve the dish. We went twice. We waited 45 minutes or so both times.

“Real delicious authentic Chinese food with menu for authentic Chinese and American Chinese dishes.”
Real delicious authentic Chinese food with menu for authentic Chinese and American Chinese dishes. Four of us ordered fish dishes which is more than what we needed and that had generous portions but all dishes were so delicious that we ate everything lol. We got 酸汤肥牛 a sauerkraut beef dish, 干锅包菜, stir fried cabbage, 干锅豆腐, stir fried tofu with potatoes, 小炒肉, green peppers with pork, and 三杯鸡 a chicken dish. My personal fav is stir fried cabbage and the tofu. They were so well seasoned with fresh ingredients. Chicken was a little too savory. But after all really friendly service, they even gave 杏仁酥 and fortune cookies as dessert for free. Def a 5/5!!

Been back here a few times now and have enjoyed it just as much every time! Ordered the Phoenix and the Vegetable Maki off the happy hour menu. The Itamae (sushi master) was very sweet & working really hard. She made the experience way better. Ambiance was great, too. Great music and cozy vibe.

“You can't go wrong with this vegetarian option.”
You can't go wrong with this vegetarian option. I've had The Green Salad a number of times, always fresh, and even for take-out orders it is quite a large portion that could be split up for 3 persons and the price is perfect under $10. It comes with 2 small containers of ginger dressing which is a refreshing flavor apart from your traditional American salad dressings. On this take-out order I also had Miso soup and spring rolls and were a delicious combination that I highly recommend to warm you up on cold evenings. I will be coming back to try other dishes.

“I came to Koi with a group of 10 Latina women, and we received the most fantastic service and food.”
I came to Koi with a group of 10 Latina women, and we received the most fantastic service and food. Everything was so fresh and cooked to perfection. The drinks were just beautiful and super tasty. Our group kept ordering drinks throughout our dinner, and they were always made perfectly and brought out quickly. I highly recommend Koi for large groups, corporate events, and celebrations. I would also highly recommend this place for people of color who want excellent service in a super welcoming environment.
