The location they have posted on the website is closed down, made reservations for dinner and they weren't even open. Had to scramble for last minute reservations elsewhere. The phone is not even in use.

I went in for Comedy night. The serving staff were all quite friendly and attentive. I hope more people start going for the comedy, as there were some laughs to be had, and they had Matt Foster as the headliner. The food was great.

Koi was open for the last day during our visit. Excellent food and music and songs and poems. Very unique dining experience, hope it will reopen soon and definitely will come back again.

We love Koi always. They changed there menu since we had been, we were pleased with the options as we are a vegan and a vegetarian duo. We were impressed with the food portion and left feeling full and satisfied. Our waitress was lovely and we just loved her personality. Also the music was so good we definitely commented on that to each other. Top notch, thank you guys

We went on a Tuesday night which turned out to be open mic night. What a fun surprise. There was a variety of acts, lots of fun and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We tried the Blossom cocktail. It was delicious!!!

Eigentlich ein schönes Restaurant. Tisch reserviert wurden aber trotzdem rein geschickt, uns wurde versprochen sobald was frei ist werden wir raus geschickt, ein paar tische war den ganzen abend nicht belegt und als man nachgefragt hat meinte man „alles ist besetzt wir geben Ihnen bescheid sobald was frei ist“ leider nicht passiert

Enjoyed our visit and food was good. The Bao was really good in particular. We visited on a Friday night and we were departing as a 2nd music act was beginning as does a cover charge if your staying. Menu could have a few more offerings. Service was great and we will visit again.

Nice restaurant/bar with an Asian inspired menu and creative cocktails. Had the classic curry - best fried tofu I’ve ever had! Extremely friendly staff and live music.

We stopped here and it ended up being open mic night which had a good vibe, sadly our food was disappointing and the beef my partner ordered was so tough and inedible. We also said to the waitress that there was an egg food sensitivity and they still put a fried egg on top of the order. Overall really disappointed

Great atmosphere, live entertainment and good food - BUT, we had vegans at our table and I have a serious seafood allergy. We ordered Vegan Salad Rolls for appetizers. The description said ‘shrimp’ with a ‘v’ indicated they could be ordered vegan - no shrimp. We checked with our server several times and were assured they were ‘vegan shrimp’. When they arrived the shrimp looked so real but were assured again they were tofu. They looked like shrimp tasted like shrimp and guess what - they were shrimp. Not good for a person with allergies. Waiter was very apologetic but this could have been a disaster.

Comedy Wednesday is the best! Other performances are great too! Food is delicious but be careful of choking when you’re enjoying the show too much! Haha! The atmosphere is smaller than I expected but you’ll get used to it. Will come here again!

Last night was fabulous from the wonderful servers, delicious dishes, the lighting & the music was just amazing!! We shared a lot of dishes but highly recommend the Vegan Gyoza! Actually all we had was fabulous, pad Kare, Chicken Coconut Curry, pork gyoza & yam fries!! Everything was wonderful thank you for a great night out!!!

Thank you Koi! For an outstanding first experience! We made it for your spoken word night, and it was an absolute treasure to witness everyone's hearts and souls spill out the cavity of each written page. Never have I personally felt so connected to a room full of strangers. And never have I felt so truly welcomed from the moment I opened the door to saying goodbye and knowing I'd definitely be back again. Thanks for accepting all open minded creatures of all sorts of backgrounds into your home, and allowing them to feast and nurture on the figments of our imagination and the yearning strifes of our realities. Amazing food and drink. Adieu!

Had a delightful evening at Koi taking in the Thursday evening Open Mic Poetry evening. Our server was lovely and the ambiance was warm and inclusive. The only downside was the lack of menu items, but that is the reality of supply chain issues that are prevalent all around presently. ;)

The food was amazing and the service was friendly and prompt. That evening there was a local band playing. The band was very good. The sound level was high at times but overall it was an excellent atmosphere to unwind at the end of the week.
