Had takeout, pretty solid dragon roll, covered with crunchy and shredded tempora flakes. The miso cod was good, you didn't need the extra sauce as it was plenty salty, though had a few bones in mine so be careful when eating.

I expected something totally different from KOI. The service was very nice, don't get me wrong. But the food is just unacceptable. The dishes were extremely overpriced. I ordered sushi omakase, and the materials were nowhere near fresh (dry and pale fish), and were very cheap. The sushi and the hand roll were also poorly made and taste terrible. The cocktail was unsatisfactory as well with foam and carelessly garnished. The environment was okay. I don't usually write reviews, but I am indeed disappointed by the place.

These restaurant is hard to see from the street. It's inside the Bryant Park Hotel. And Also there is Scaffolding covering it. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Service was amazing. Good was excellent! I couldn't get enough of the spicy tuna crunch! It's a hit! We had the seared Tuna, the pot stickers, lobster tacos, and a side order of the Ginger rice! Everything was delicious! Drink was good. I had the Pear-adise martini! Will most definitely be back.

Great sushi. Slow service and long wait to be seated and served. Better for dinner options than lunch.

Great food and nice atmosphere. Good for shared plates. Sushi tacos were the star of the show. Was easy to walk in.
We love this restaurant very much and every time we visit NYC (very often) we can’t miss it. Today we were very pleased with Pye service

This entire staff is impeccable. Everyone is professional, friendly and attentive. You can really tell that they care about not only their work but also each other. The manager Freddy is also incredibly gracious. The young woman (Yaya) at the door made us feel welcoming, shared a laugh and helped us to our seats promptly. Make sure to make a reservation and enjoy a carefully crafted cocktail. This review is long overdo. I have been here about 5 times and each time I have had nothing positive things to say. The food is exactly what you'd want it to be only it was more delicious. I have been to many places that have similar menus and I continue to return to Koi because their food is hand down better. The waitstaff is happy to help you with recommendations and they are always on point. The ambiance is also really neat. The four elements are visually woven into the interior design. I am a sucker for aesthetics and design so I thoroughly enjoy this aspect of my visits. See if you can spot them! Overall, a great place to have lunch or dinner in the heart of midtown without compromising on quality. Across the street is a cute park where you can sometimes find little shop tents set up. Worth a visit.

Excellent food and staff. The crispy rice is amazing. You must try the baked crab hand roll…The staff is very attentive and give great recommendations.
