| - We decided to check this place out for a late lunch on a Monday. The place wasn't terribly busy, just a few other patrons. There were two sushi chefs on duty, more than adequate for the number of people in the place...and yet, our first rolls took 15 minutes to get to our table. Our last roll didn't show up until about 30 minutes after we ordered and they almost completely forgot our Unagi pieces (which I found odd considering the waitress had highlighted all our selections on the order slip to make sure the chefs didn't forget anything).
They have an all-you-can eat deal for $25 per person. But we were thinking we didn't want that much, so we just ordered off the regular menu, it still ended up costing us $50 for two! Now spending $50 on sushi for two is all fine and good and pretty common. But you expect a little something more when all you ordered was a couple of rolls and a few pieces. Plus, you expect quality...while the sushi wasn't HORRIBLE, it wasn't GREAT or even very good by any means. It was just plain blah! Even the special roll we ordered was boring (I don't remember which state it was named after because all the names seemed to have been assigned arbitrarily and this was all just too gimicky even for me).
They automatically charge a 15% gratuity no matter the size of your order or party. Now, I suppose from their point of view, it was a good thing they did when we were there because we would have leaned more toward the 10% or lower mark. I'm sorry, but tips are given based on level of service and quality, neither of which were supplied in abundance by Koi. My advice? Sushi Eye! Still by far the best sushi I've had since I moved out here, the best price and the best special and original rolls!!!
