The occasion was my dipping my toes into singing jazz. I was one of the 5 featured singers and all of us had brought our cheering team so the place was fully booked. Despite the fact that everyone more or less arrived around showtime the servers were efficient and professional and food took probably a little more time to arrive but not that long that you noticed. The food was delicious, the menu offers a good variety for those who are wanting vegan or gluten-free options. I opted to start with the Lantern rolls Baked spring rolls w/ mushrooms, carrots, suey choy, spring onions and chilli plum dipping sauce. Though they were baked they still had crunch and worked well with the plum dipping sauce. I also had a taste of my friend's Kimchi Salmon, make sure you give it a good mix or you may get a whole lot of salty Kim Chi which wasn't too pleasant but once balanced off with the other ingredients the dish was good. I didn't want to sing on a full stomach so waited till after my set to order Miss Shanghai Vegan noodles and seasonal vegetables tossed in szechwan chili-fire sauce.The noodles were perfect, al dente and well-tossed in a tasty sauce. I didn't find the heat very spicy but then I eat extremely spicy food so for me it was probably between a mild to medium but very nice. I would definitely order this dish again and find that I didn't miss not having any meat in it. The place is intimate and cozy and Cafe Koi supports local musicians and artists with their daily events of either open mics or other presentations. The only beef I have is that there is only street parking and on a weekend can be pretty hard to come by.
