KoiAlways strongA solid pick that has aged gracefully. It's a better deal than Nobu across the street. An LA staple that may not be as seeney as the past, but I think that's a good thing. The food has always been solid anchored by the original crispy rice. Well priced. Lovely staff that always seems to care. A step up from the college Izikaya crowd on 3rd.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGood but priceyKoi is a different restaurant than it was 5 years ago when we last visited. On a Saturday evening, the place was only about half full with none of the buzz that we experienced on our last visit. And there's a reason for it. While the food was flavorful and the patio setting warm and inviting, the portions were small and after a tab of just over $300 (for 4, including 2 non-drinkers), we left not completely sated.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place!I went with my wife for a regular Tuesday dinner and we love Koi. It was our first time there. The valet is a bit pricey at $8 and the initial service took at least 10 minutes before our drink orders were taken. After that, it was solid clockwork and delicious food served as ordered with nice presentation.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMWe LOVED ANDREA our waitress.We LOVED ANDREA our waitress. Def request her

Made the whole dining experience great. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was pretty good butThe food was pretty good but a little pricey for what you get. We got to the restaurant earlier than our reservation time and were told we would be seated right away. There was no compunction that we were there early so we may be waiting for a little while, instead they took people who walked in including parties of 9 and seated them before my guest and I. I don't know if it was due to not being as dressy but still the only real reason I would come back is because our server Anthony was outstanding!! Keep up the good work!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMLove this place, been hereLove this place, been here many times before and I try something different and I'm never disappointed !4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic Japanese food.Fantastic Japanese food.
