    I could eat here every night. There are so many great food options and they are all executed just perfectly. Last night it was the spciy tuna on crispy rice which is the best version of this in town. The lobster tacos are uniquely Koi and taste just sublime. I could eat these all night. Then it was the albacore very thinkly sliced with crunchy onions and again, just fantastic. And the creamy shrimp tempura, which we order with a bowl of sushi rice, and again, there are other places in town that do something like this, but Koi is by far the best. Last night, our last item was the miso marinated black cod, which we haven't had in several visits and it was just as great as always. From start to finish everything tasted great. The service was impeccable and friendly. The place was full with a great vibe. Just a perfect night and at a great restauarant that delivers every time.
