Visited Paradise Cafe recently and had a mixed experience. The space itself feels a bit dated and…read morequite heavy... the lighting is very dark, and even moving the dining chairs felt a bit difficult. A lighter, refreshed atmosphere would go a long way. I ended up ordering a few appetizers. The Hot & Sour Soup was the standout... flavorful, comforting, and easily a 5/5 on a cold n wet day. Unfortunately, the rest didn't quite hit the mark. The shrimp rolls were below average... mostly lettuce, the shrimps were dried out, and they took about 10 extra minutes to come out. The crab rangoon was the biggest disappointment; the filling had an unpleasant smell and tasted like heavy, clotted cream cheese and there wasn't even an iota of imitation crab meat to justify that name. My friends ordered egg rolls, which actually looked pretty good (I'd say a solid 4/5), and Singapore noodles, which unfortunately looked underwhelming. Overall, there are a few bright spots, especially the soup, but the food quality and atmosphere were inconsistent. With some updates and more attention to freshness and flavor, this place could really improve.

He was attentive and kind. We enjoyed the lovers plate. Basically, an appetizer sampler. Everything on the plate was perfectly fried. The flavors were good. The Singapore noodles were not what I am used to. Ordinarily it's a green curry, there was no taste of curry. The shrimp were cooked well and it was served with a hot sauce on the plate. It wasn't bad, just not as expected. My dining partner had the paradise fish. A fried filet of fish with vegetables and a sweet sauce. She really enjoyed the meal. All in all, a good experience. We will go back and I plan to try the pho on our next trip.

First, the owner is awesome. Great guy. You'll want this man to succeed. The spring roll appetizer is awesome. As is the sushi and the bowls. Tried salmon in both and they were fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend. With the stir fry, the chicken was tender. The vegetables were a little stiff. The overall dish lacked flavor. I tried to spruce it up a tad with soy sauce, but to no avail. It was just not salvageable. So, I'll be back. I'll try more sushi and bowls. But I'd avoid the stir fry.

The menu has expanded! They now offer poke bowls and ramen…read more Preface to this review-I love Koi express, so this is meant to be helpful to both customers and the business. I hope they take this as an opportunity to improve. I recently tried the new poke bowl on the menu. I was VERY excited when I saw a sign that they offer poke bowls, but a bit disappointed when they did not have all the standard poke bowl toppings. No seaweed salad, pickled carrots, etc. The poke bowl was $15 - and while the flavor was good it lacked the full experience and was way too small for the price. The poke bowl place in Lexington serves a large size for only $13 and it's at least double this size, maybe triple the size. I desperately want Koi Express to offer the same style bowl as Miyako for a reasonable price. I would pay $15 happily if it was enough to fill me up and had all the topping choices. So please keep serving poke bowls - just make them a bit bigger and provide the toppings. I can't justify paying $15 for the version that is currently offered. You also need a different style bowl to serve these in - not practical for mixing. I'll be trying the ramen soon.

Across from Goodfella's Pizza, this place offers a quiet and quaint option for those who love Sushi and other Asian foods as well as an extensive bourbon list (including Pappy's 23). We went on a Monday night and there were only a handful of people in the restaurant so it was a nice quiet evening. Prices were very reasonable and there are a lot of Asian Tapas offerings and a wide variety of sushi rolls. They even have some vegan options which was important to our group. Their bourbon list is extensive and they have several other options for those not interested in bourbon. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I had the Crab Rangoon Roll and Korean Tacos with Slaw. The roll was tasty and fresh. The tacos were my favorite part as the flavors just melded together and complimented each other nicely. This would be a great place to go with a group of people, grab a bunch of dishes and give everyone a taste.
