Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

My bf and I came here on Friday night around 7 PM. The place was extremely packed, and our wait time was about 20 minutes, but it was well worth it. The food was excellent! We had tempura green beans, shrimp, and vegetable tempura as our appetizers. For our main dishes, we ordered spicy drunken noodles and beef noodle soup. The drunken noodles were SUPER spicy, definitely at an Asian level, but still delicious! The noodles in the beef noodle soup had a wonderfully chewy texture, and the broth was incredibly flavorful. The whole beef rib tasted amazing, but I wasn't a fan of the sliced beef that came with it, it was a bit dry. The beef noodle soup also came with a side of chili sauce and pickled root vegetables. Our server was very nice and attentive! Overall, it’s a great place! A true gem in this small area! I would definitely come back.

Really authentic taste. Nice ambiance We didn't wait for seating but we got there early. Around 6 or so it gets busy so if you do need to sit and eat on a schedule go early. Good sign it is good food. I had thai noodles with chicken... want more veggies. Next time I will ask for extra and pay for an add on. My part had spicy basil. One had wok style and one had friend rice. Both enjoyed. We had crab ragoon. Free damage. Nice place to eat good food

We have to up our review of Koi a little bit. Honestly, except for the Thai dishes, we love everything here. I don’t know why we don’t eat at Koi more frequently. The decor is also very nice for this area. In an area where really good restaurants are few and far between, this is a nice gem. The owners are very nice to us. Every time we visit and the service is always cordial and prompt. We feel very well taken care of here and we appreciate it. They’ll do the same for you.
