Totally overpriced perfectly fine but not outstanding food. You know those Japanese grill places they sometimes have in food courts in the mall? The ones where you pick your meat and your sauce (garlic bean sauce, or teriyaki, etc) and they cook it up for you on the griddle with fresh veggies and your choice of rice or noodles right there in front of you and it's usually really yummy and costs about $9.95 and you can't finish it 'cause it's just too much food for lunch? Well that's what the food at Cafe Koi is like, except that it's not that quick, the portions are smaller, and it costs about $17.00. I'm not saying the food was bad. The edemame was actually delicious. The service was nothing special, the ambiance is hard to comment on since I was seated with a view of the dishwasher's butt even though the place was empty. All in all, I just don't get the appeal or understand the high ratings for this place. It was really mediocre.
