    It IS loud in here! We were the only customers, we got here when they opened, and we could barely…read moretalk to each other KFC was very good, and there was plenty of food! Green beans, mashed potatoes and regular chicken strips all very good too. My wife commented that the beans were fresh. We both took a little chicken with us as we couldn't finish it all! Our server Hannah was awesome too! Eat here!

    I got chicken tenders plate (comes with two sides so I got the fried okra and mashed potatoes with…read morejalapeños gravy and comes with one sauce so I got the Dirk signature sauce) . I also tried the nashville hot chicken. Let's go pros: I really enjoyed the side options and the amount of food for the price. Chicken was juicy on the inside and not dry. The flavor on the Nashville hot chicken was enjoyable. Cons: The chicken itself doesn't feel marinated or anything so the flavor isn't in the chicken itself. The seasoning on the tenders was very minimal and just tasted like a lot of salt. Same with the okra... the fry on the okra was good but just tasted like salt. The mashed potatoes were fine but the "bacon" in the gravy was canadian bacon or something because it wasn't crispy like bacon. I wouldn't get the mash again.. Nashville definitely had better flavor, but was very very very oily. It's also has like virtually no spice. Dirks signature sauce is like canes sauce but tangier... (Canes is better I'm sorry). Service was good! They do charge 2.5% credit card fee so bring cash.

    OVERALL Koi Asian Cuisine recently had their grand opening…read more This Japanese-Chinese restaurant is a good choice for a fast casual sit-down meal with minimal adult beverage options (beer, wine, & sake) in Hobbs, NM. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 3.5 | Service: 4 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING Ample parking in their own private lot or there is a large plaza within walking distance just east of the restaurant. LOCATION/AMBIANCE I remember when the building Koi moved into was a Dairy Queen. The restaurant is near the Norte Vista Plaza on Bender Boulevard. Inside, the minimalistic Asian decor and multiple seating options caught my attention. It was a nice cool temperature as we sat in a quiet corner on a very warm October 9, 2024. THE GRUB + free shelled peanuts were served before we received our menus + gyoza - we received this as a free app. While it's not what I originally had a hankering for, it was good. + spicy chicken ramen ($13.99) - according to our waitress this is their most popular ramen bowl. I can see that being Hobbs. It was good. I tried my youngest daughter's entree. But let me instead recommend this one: + Tonkotsu Shoyu ramen ($13.99) - both ramen bowls entailed marinated egg, bamboo shoots, corn, wakame (seaweed), scallions & nori (the larger flat seaweed that is half-way placed into the bowl). If you enjoy chashu pork like I do, then opt for this. + added fish cakes ($1.29) - this is another reason why I bumped my score up to 4 stars overall... they weren't stingy with these when my oldest daughter requested them. They brought extras for all three of us. LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's menus! Or at least they didn't offer my kids any, but they order adult stuff now anyway. SERVICE Quick to seat us as soon as we walk. The hostess wasn't really all that friendly. Standoffish. Our waitress was very friendly, but her "colleague" as she put it stole our vegetable spring rolls after they had forgotten to bring them to the table BEFORE our meal. They made things right by bringing us a plate of gyoza which was very flavorful. MY FAVORITE PART... My pork and my daughter's spicy chicken were both very tender. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I wanted a bit more flavor from the broth. It was on the weak side. TIPS + The waiting service cashes you out tableside. + An 18% gratuity is automatically added to parties of 6 or more.

I won't…read morelie, I am spoiled with any and all Asian cuisine living in San Francisco, so I didn't have high expectations going in. My Aunt and Uncle love to eat here, though. Seeing a menu that offers Chinese, Japanese, and Korean was a little intimidating, because who can do them all well? I can only speak to the Chinese portion of the menu, since we each ordered from that section of the menu, but it was all very well executed. I convinced my Aunt to try the Salt and Pepper Fish, but she really wanted the standard Chicken Fried Rice she always gets, so we agreed to share the two. I'm happy to report, she loved the Fish! It wasn't greasy and was fresh tasting, crisp and flavorful. The Chicken Fried Rice was also very good, not greasy and I especially loved that the chicken was all white meat chicken slices. Additionally, we had an order of Orange Chicken at the table, that I didn't taste, but looked great. I forgot to mention that we started with Crab Rangoons and they were more crab (imitation of course) than cream cheese, which is very uncommon. I wasn't a fan of the wonton wrapper used for them, but otherwise they were great. Each entree was a very large shareable portion, so of course we ordered too much food for 3 people. The service was a little slow, but the restaurant itself was very clean and modern with a minimalist appeal. I was impressed with what they did in an old DQ space. Bottom line, they do Chinese well, and I'm curious about the Japanese and Korean portions, since I'm a big fan of both of those cuisines as well. (In all honesty it takes a bit to impress me with cuisines I indulge in back home in San Francisco, but this place hit the mark.)
