If you're looking for a place to have a nice lunch & beverage this is NOT the place to go! I sat at…read morethe bar and ordered a $12 nacho and a mocktail and somehow my bill was over $32! when the nachos were brought to me instantly noticed that the amount of lettuce FILLED the plate and there was little tomato, very little guacamole, and little sour cream. after taking a few bites I called over a server (who is actually the manager) and asked if he could bring me more of what seemed to be so skimp in the serving. he asked if he needed to take it to the back and I insisted he didn't need to because the food was descent & I was hungry. He quickly brought out 3 nice sized sizes of shredded cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Once I received the bill I noticed they charged me $2.00 per side of the jalapeños, sour screen, cheese , and tomato's I ordered. I was shocked. When I asked to speak to him, I said that clearly was a miscommunication because I didn't want side orders of those items. I just wanted more because it didn't seem like there was enough in the nachos order that I ordered. He acted like he didn't understand what I was saying, and there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. I even showed him that I only took 1 one 4 filled amount of the sour cream and if that's the least you can do is to remove that from my bill which he did but overall the customer service was terrible. There's no way that a $12 nacho should come out to $30 in my opinion it was ridiculous and definitely not worth the cost. I would not advise anyone to come here if these are the steaks at hand as you can see in the photos attached I barely ate. My food barely touched the sides, and I feel like I just gave the restaurant my money for nothing. if I could give them a no star, I would!

She always said it was more kid friendly than the Mandarin location. So we went. I have never been so disappointed & disrespected by the level of service than at this location. We have never been so we were unaware that this location was similar to the downtown Jacksonville location. 1) We came in and we were not greeted. 2) No one explained to us that we would need to go to the left side of the establishment for full service/full bar. We ordered our food and were given a number just like the downtown Jacksonville location. We sat outside so we can watch our little one play, but apparently we chose the wrong side of the outdoor eating area. (No barrier to distinguish between the 2 sides) We were told we could NOT eat there. The server explained that this is for full service only. I wanted to order more as we were hungry. I thought, perfect. I can order an appetizer, a cocktail, and get my son some gelato while we waited. Again, we were told we can't eat here OR order food OR sit here. Mind you, out of all the 15 tables (both sides) only 2 were occupied. We were told, "You can't sit there either. (NO SIGNAGE TO DISTINGUISH THE 2 SIDES!) AND NO YOU CANNOT ORDER FOOD. You have to sit over there." Then the server asked, "Is that ok? (With an attitude). I informed the server, "NO. IT'S NOT OK." She didn't say anymore as we moved several tables over to the "designated area". This was our first time at this location & it will be our last! There was no apology or explanation that we need to go back inside to the front of the restaurant. None. We had no idea we entered the quick order side (there's tables on both sides.) I went inside & asked to speak to a manager. He explained that there's a hostess on the other side of the restaurant, (apparently there's more than one entrance). He said that someone should have explained it to us & said he would speak to the server. That was it. Nothing else. He tried to seat us in the full service but it was too late. I was so mad at driving 30 minutes after work, (I was still in my scrubs) to get treated that way that. I packed up my family of 3 & left. I am still so angry at the level of service I received. It was a huge disappointment. I hope that the Durbin Park location (once built) will have the level of service we are accustomed to receiving.

Some restaurants earn your attention with one impressive meal. KOI Sushi & Thai & Bar earned our…read moreloyalty by delivering consistently excellent experiences over dozens of visits. We originally came to KOI because we love sushi, but over time we discovered that the restaurant offers far more than an extensive sushi menu. The combination of Japanese and Thai cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, creative appetizers, attentive service, and one of the most distinctive dining rooms in Ponte Vedra Beach makes KOI a restaurant that works for almost any occasion. The first thing guests notice is the enormous underwater video wall. Tropical fish, sea turtles, coral reefs, dolphins, sharks, and other marine life move slowly across the display, creating an atmosphere that feels peaceful and immersive. Peter is an avid scuba diver, so this has always been one of his favorite features. The comfortable booths, attractive table settings, warm lighting, and thoughtful décor add to the experience. One of our favorite ways to begin is with the KOI Sampler. It includes Thai egg rolls, coconut shrimp, Crab Rangoon, fresh spring rolls, and chicken sticks served with peanut and garlic sauces. It is beautifully presented and offers enough variety for everyone at the table to find a favorite. The Garlic Edamame is another appetizer we order regularly. We spent years trying to find a version that compared with one we loved at a sushi restaurant up north, and KOI finally ended that search. The garlic is distributed evenly, the seasoning is balanced, and the bowl tends to disappear quickly. We also enjoy ordering the Crab Rangoon separately. The wonton exterior is consistently crisp, the filling is creamy without being overly heavy, and the presentation shows that KOI gives familiar appetizers the same attention it gives its signature entrées. Susan's favorite dish is the Tom Kha Soup, which earned one of our Best of the Best Awards. The coconut-based broth is creamy, aromatic, and comforting. Mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers are served in larger pieces than we normally find elsewhere, adding texture and allowing the vegetables to retain their flavor. Susan first discovered Tom Kha Soup at KOI, and after trying it throughout Florida, this remains the version against which she judges all others. The sushi menu is extensive, and over the years we have tried almost every specialty roll offered. Remarkably, we have never been disappointed. The Pink Lady Roll is wrapped in pink soy paper and filled with tuna, salmon, eel, avocado, seaweed salad, and masago. The presentation is beautiful, but the careful balance of flavors is what earned it a Best of the Best Award. The Lobster General Roll also received our highest dish recognition. It combines lobster tempura, spicy tuna, and avocado inside, then adds crawfish salad, spicy mayo, and eel sauce on top. Susan loves the lobster and spicy tuna, while Peter loves crawfish, making this a roll that brings together both of our preferences. The most dramatic dish of our visit was the Whole Red Snapper with Authentic Thai Red Curry Sauce. The whole fish arrives looking like a culinary centerpiece. The snapper was moist, tender, flaky, and remarkably fresh. Its red curry sauce, prepared with Thai garlic paste, fresh ginger, broccoli, zucchini, peppers, and other vegetables, added warmth and depth without overpowering the delicate fish. The combination of beautiful presentation and exceptional preparation made this another Best of the Best recipient. The Mongolian Beef was an equally memorable surprise. Peter had stopped ordering the dish years ago after repeatedly failing to find one that compared with a favorite restaurant from his college days. KOI's tender marinated beef and balanced sauce brought those memories back with the first bite. Learning that preparation begins the day before helped explain the tenderness and depth of flavor. KOI's cocktail program deserves recognition as well. The Prickly Pear is colorful and refreshing, combining prickly pear vodka, tequila, and simple syrup with an edible wildflower garnish. The Sicilian Summer, one of KOI's newest creations, blends white rum, mango rum, fresh lime juice, and triple sec, then finishes the drink with rosemary and lime. It is bright, tropical, and balanced. The Thai Basiltini combines muddled Thai basil, agave syrup, vodka, and pineapple juice. It has a refreshing herbal aroma that connects beautifully with the restaurant's Thai personality. The popular Lychee Martini is smooth, lightly sweet, and made with fresh lychee juice, lime juice, and vodka. Service has remained friendly and attentive. KOI is ideal for sushi lovers, Thai food enthusiasts, date nights, casual lunches, family meals, and groups whose members have different tastes. Guests who do not eat sushi will still find an extensive selection of soups, curries, noodles, beef dishes, appetizers, and whole fish.
