TL;DR/The Short Version:
Tasty Asian food at good prices in a modern environment.
The Long Version:
My husband and I went to Koi for a late dinner. We both got a combo. Combos come with your choice of meat, your choice of rice or vermicelli, salad, a spring roll and an appetizer vegetable soup. I got the chicken combo with vermicelli ($18) while my husband got the beef combo with rice ($19).
The vegetable soup was mostly broth and only contained a single broccoli floret, a single cauliflower floret and a single slice of carrot. Oh and some green onions, lol. However, the broth was very flavourful.
We each got 3 sizeable pieces of meat. Mine where chicken thighs. I do prefer lean breast meat to the fattier thigh meat, but they did trim off the fat, so the meat at least wasn't gristley. The marinade was delicious. The chicken was really flavourful. I had a taste of my husband's beef and it was tender and delicious. I did notice some gristley bits to the beef though.
The vermicelli was nicely cooked. The spring roll was hot right out of the fryer and crunchy on the outside. The salad had too many raw bean sprouts for my liking. It also has lettuce, pickled carrots, and daikon. And also mint leaves.
We both enjoyed our meal.
Service was pleasant. The place was packed when we arrived, but by the time we left it had completely cleared out.
Decor is modern and hip looking, lol. Clientele seemed to skew young, at least younger than my husband and I, haha.
The restaurant is in a plaza and there's free parking in the plaza parking lot.
