| - Every Thursday, my sister and I head to Koi after yoga for bowls, and every Thursday, I look forward to it.
Koi's a fun little spot that mixes live music and Asian inspired fair with a warm hole-in-the-wall atmosphere.
Like most restaurants I tend to frequent, this place is small. Unlike most restaurants I tend to frequent, this place takes reservations; so if you're thinking about heading there any day between Thursday and Saturday, make a reso or get there early.
I could talk about how the food is delicious and well balanced; how the $9 yam wedge appetizer has a dip I could drink and the vegetarian selection is wide and varied (Koi can spice and seer a mean tofu stick for it's $14 Lotus Bowl); but what makes Koi special is it's themed nights.
Thursday is open mic jazz night and the place is packed by 8 pm with delightfully talented local musicians. Fridays feature local DJs and Wednesday is comedy night.
Koi gets a solid 3 stars from me for one main reason; sometimes, my food is burnt; and in a place that has a good track record for having great food, this is a mistake that has happened enough that, regrettably, it cannot be overlooked.
However, that does not mean you shouldn't check out Koi, because you totally should, and you should totally have a Lotus Bowl.
