food		“...awesome food; great atmosphere!! Id highly recommend Koi - especially if you like sushi! Will be back again soon... “...Excellent food, but with diners packed in, nothing to muffle the noise of conversations and the loud driving rock music, Koi is not a place for a serious business lunch... “...Went here on a business lunch and the food was excellent. As was the ambiance... “... Koi has an elegant atmosphere and is definitely worth the price. Fabulous service and wonderful food!... “...i was invited for a business dinner. The atmosphere is electric...
ambiance		“...This is my FAVORITE place in the city to eat. I don't even like shrimp but was convinced to try two different shrimp sushi entrees, both of which I lov...
service		“...The staff were friendly and our waiter was great. We even met the Chef and he was wonderful not to mention easy on the eyes!!... “...Koi was excelent - We stayed at the Bryant Park Hotel and had dinner at Koi. Great food and good service...
value		“...New York isn't known for it's sushi.... “...I hvae always thought that Koi was a pretty good restaurant. It's definitely one of the better cookie cutter japanese/american places... “..."Hang with the fashionistas in this hip Midtown restaurant adjacent to Bryant Park. Order a number of the appetizers and share them with your friends...
sushi		“... I didn't mind it as it actually tasted. For shared appetizers, we had the crispy rice, edamame, and the daily sushi roll (I forgot what it was called)... “...This is my . I don't even like shrimp but was convinced to try two different shrimp sushi entrees, both of which I loved! And the crispy rice is a must... “...Not as good as downtown or in Hawaii but still great sushi in a neighborhood without much to rival it....
restaurant		“... It was very uncomfortable to be seated right next to strangers and no. Felt as though I were in a cafeteria instead of a very good Japanese restaurant... “... As was the ambiance. I loved the orange-red of the fish scale wall decor as you walk into the restaurant... “...To the reviewer who complained about the 'tasteless' edamame: Have you ever had edamame? It really doesn't taste like anything at all, it is a steamed vegetable (young soybeans) sprinkled with salt, so yes, all you will really taste is the salt...
recommend		“...Loved everything about our experience at Koi! The decor is especially striki. recommend the spicy salmon on crispy rice! Our server Bonnie was amazing!... “....the ambience's is admirable-but I definitely would not recommend this place... “... its incredible. i strongly recommend that you should come here...

Pricey with above average sushi, but the portions are way too small. Spent $120 on a roll, ceviche and a bottle of wine and I did not leave feeling full. However, the service was good (had a very entertaining Chilean waiter) the food brought out at the exact right time. Nice atmosphere as well and great space.

So allow me to begin with mentioning I usually tend not to give my opinon on places. Well... Yesterday I ate at Koi in N.Y.. I found Koi to be sophisticated all the way up, through the decor through the presentation. Good job on a pleasurable and contented dinnerWait staff at this particular restaurant was really nice! The service was excellent. The food showed up very fast. Without doubt one of my own issues would be the plating wasn't that incredible. The idea was decent though did not provide you with that amaze factor. Experience this today ahead of the news becomes ridiculous. We definitely will be back soon.

Crispy rice! Oh yeah.

Start the evening with an order of creamy Rock Shrimp and a Rock Saké Lychee Sakétini.

Rock Saké

Only place in town with decent sushi I've found, + try the Truffle Essence Kobe Beef Carpaccio Fried Shiitake which is what I always get, it'll cause an orgasm in your mouth.
