    This time we ordered s few things off the DimSum menu and I was a little disappointed in what I chose. Not a criticism, just a comment.

    Very dissapointed in last visit. Lunch, weekday, ordered the Sesame lunch special as well as the mongolian beef. Came out cold, both orders, and the rice, meat, flavorless. Had a hard time attracting our server to get the food warmed up. May or may not visit again.

    Good food but too much oil when cooking. I had sesame shrimp which tasted good but there was a puddle of oil at the bottom of the serving dish.

    We go to Koi several times a year... we just hit it on a bad night. There was a loud party in the dining room and it was difficult for anyone else to have a conversation. The food was.. MEH. The sushi did not seem fresh and the garlic shrimp and thai basil fried rice was overcooked and a bit mushy. It was a very different experience from just 3 weeks before! Our waiter could not have been more attentive -- nice guy! We will give it one more chance Wine is very overpriced -- a $12 bottle of wine retail should not be sold for $48. Gluten free items are sometimes more expensive that what is on the menu. There is an uncharge for some of the roll ingredients

    Several friends got together for a nice dinner. We had not seen each other in a few years due to an out of state move. The food was excellent but the service was marginal. It was so slow that we had to ask for things several times and still never got them. We actually called the restaurant FROM OUR TABLE!! It’s was not as spectacular as I remember. Disappointing.
