Soooo I've always loved this restaurant however a few days ago I ordered the calamari. The first thing I noticed was that all the pieces were exactly the same size. Like exactly the same. Odd right because octopus legs are not uniform in shape? So we ate some and it did NOT taste like real calamari AT ALL. We broke a piece apart and inside the breading is a solid square tube inside of a sausage like casing. We called the restaurant and was told it was real calamari and that they prepare it fresh. I said it appears to be synthetic. The person on the phone told me to order something else next time. At minimum I expected an apology. But with such rudeness THERE WILL BE NO NEXT TIME. read more

Kinda pricey, but over all good sushi options. I personally like the mayflower, dragon on fire, spider roll read more

Best sushi I've had in years, I'd come here everyday if it were up to me, my guilty pleasure!!!!

Just had dinner here this evening. Absolutely amazing that you folks have such a nice Asian restaurant here. We found it on Yelp and are both very pleased with dinner. I had the Honey Walnut Shrimp and the wife had Beef and Scallops, both very delicious. Sooty for no photos- we ate it all gone :-). read more

I enjoy thie resturant, I find its food quite enjoyable. It is also a reasonable price for everything you get.

Well, I only gave 4 stars because the rolls are small. But, they were delicious. Also, I ordered the crab rangoon and the clear soup; both of which were ver tasty as well. Glad to have found this place for sushi, will definitely visit again. Hopefully, will get the chance to dine in soon. read more

My favorite place to eat in Kankakee hands down. Way better than Kansai. They have lots of vegetarian friendly and healthier items ,, food is always really good :) The staff is friendly as well! read more

I've never had an unpleasant experience here. It's pricey, but the amount of food you get is worth it. Try the spicy girl roll!!

Amazing lunch today and amazing service. First time visit on a Sunday. Definitely would return on a Sunday. Best service ever received was today. Tuna tataki was amazing along with the angel hair roll and the new tuna roll. Expanded menu since our last visit looks good, too. On a previous visit I would say the udon needs work, not on par with the other menu offerings. Great experience at dinner but I thought it odd they use iceberg lettuce in the ginger salad. Everything else is more authentic why not the salad? read more

I had the amazing tuna roll. I don't think words can describe how delicious this was. It was like a slice of heaven in my mouth. I can't stop thinking about it. Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. I'll definitely be back to try more. Service was okay, though it was a pretty busy night. read more

I was super impressed with quality sushi in this smaller Midwest town. As a CA native I have a very difficult time finding good sushi but Koi Asian does not disappoint. The sashimi pieces are very good sized and the presentation that arrives is top notch. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside and I probably eat there at least once a week. Koi Asian is really the best kept secret in IL. read more

This place is the best Asian food in town, very clean and intimate. I truly love the food here and I'm from chicago so it's really difficult to find great eating places here.

They've come a huge way. They had good food a few years ago when I visited last. But they've improved by leaps and bounds. I mean. Having food from there three times this past week is proof enough that their fare is great. Great value for money too. Our new favourite Asian restaurant in Kankakee/Will/Cook county. read more

Up until this week, the only Sushi options in Bourbonnais consisted of Kroger (never tried it, but grocery store sushi has always scared me a bit) and Royal Buffet (where the sushi borders the line of edible vs. inedible) When a friend told me yesterday that Koi had finally opened, I knew I had to earn the much desired "first to review" badge. Although it's in a shopping complex next to a bunch of chains like Dunkin Donuts, Sprint and Subway, Koi is anything but ordinary. My friend warned me that it was slightly upscale, so I put on my best pair of high heels in anticipation. My first impression of Koi was that it's a very beautiful space with a nice little bar area for mingling and a spacious dining room. This would be the perfect "date night" spot since it oozes the perfect amount of romantic ambiance. We started with the edamame ($3.95) and the chicken satay ($5.95) Edamame is just soy beans with salt, so nothing too exciting there, however the chicken satay was delicious. It was cooked in a light, tangy sauce that was a perfect match for the peanut sauce served on the side. It was what I called "lick the plate good" because my husband had to move the plate to the side so I wouldn't lick it. The sushi prices seemed standard to me for the places that I've been in the past and about what I was expecting. $5-7 for classic rolls and $10- 14 for the premium or "chef's special" rolls. We went with 3 rolls-- spicy tuna ($7) Godzilla roll ($13) and the Philadelphia roll ($6) The spicy tuna was simple, yet extraordinary. I've had this in the past at other sushi places, but they seemed very generous w/ the amount of tuna in the roll. The Godzilla was my absolute favorite and one of the best rolls I've had in my life. It was shrimp, crab meat, white fish, eel, avocado and cream cheese deep fried. It was accompanied by eel sauce and this succulent chili sauce. I wasn't a fan of the Philadelphia roll. There seemed to be too much cream cheese for my liking. As a fair warning though, I've never had this anywhere else so I'm not sure if that's how it's usually made. The service was fantastic. My drink was consistently refilled and the waitress was very friendly. As a disclaimer, there were only 3 other tables here while we dined, so I hope that this stellar service can be maintained once the word is out and the house is packed. When our server brought the check to us, she let us know that our edamame was on the house since it was the grand opening. Our bill ended up being $45 after the discount (1 appetizer, 3 rolls, a soda and 2 beers) pre-tip, which I thought was a fair price. They do have lunch specials as well, that I plan on checking out later this week and I pray that once they get their groove, they offer a Happy Hour as well. I think that Koi is an excellent addition to a somewhat bland culinary town and I wish them lots of success. If nothing else, they can expect to see me back in the future. read more

Average sushi , above average pricing for the rolls and specialty rolls. They dont offer all you can eat. If you are desperate for sushi and live around here its your only option i believe . I dont see the point in spending up to 45 dollars on 3 specialty rolls and still be hungry. Lunch specials aren't really special . read more

Haven't been there in a while and sad of the changes made. They are obviously cutting corners. The Shrimp Tempura Roll, used to be two long, large shrimp tempura in a roll. Two rolls. Last night, when my order came, they have combined two shorter, smaller shrimp tempura into one roll. I also ordered Pad Thai. What I got was Lo Mein prepared as Pad Thai. Not the same. Also, Pad Thai comes with lime. I got a lemon. No bean sprouts. I asked to have it sent back and ordered the Panang Curry instead. It was good but I worried that they might have done something with my order. read more

I always wonder why there are great sushi bars out in the boondocks throughout the Midwest. This place is quality. The restrooms are very suave and that tells a lot about an establishment. The hamachi ngiri was great. Complimentary endamame is a nice touch. The spicy tuna hand roll was great with a nice crispy wrapper. The hamachi summer roll was fabulous. read more

When we first got there it was 9:28pm, they close at 9:30. Yes we were rude walking in there two minutes to close and I'm not proud of it, but we are so sick of k3's dining selection we were willing to take our chances. We walked in and asked if they were still open instead of politely telling us they're closing in two minutes, the host welcomed us with open arms. He said, "No we're open! Please come in. Have a seat." I was surprised and extremely grateful. I couldn't believe the decor. The place looks great, very modern. Comparable to Woow in Frankfort. Also comes with complimentary edamame like them, wonder if they're partnered. I had the Kim Chi Tofu Soup. It was delicious! If you like menudo or pozole I would compare the broth to those soups with an Asian tang to it. It was so good I lifted the bowl and drank it at the end. I also had the wasabi tobiko which I'm not completely convinced was standard wasabi tobiko because of it's color (looked like food coloring) and it wasn't burning my face off hot. It's possible that my tolerance for wasabi is extremely high because I love it so much, but there's my opinion on it. I probably would order it again, most likely, and that's coming from somebody who loves wasabi tobiko. The salmon sushi was fresh fresh fresh. I'm sure they got that fish that day. Very tasty. Excellent cut. I was a little leary about it's freshness because a lot of restaurants in k3 like to cut corners and refrigerate, dye, or serve frozen stuff, but I feared nothing from this sushi it was on point. My daughter had the chicken fried rice, which I devoured the rest of today. I can say from personal experience that it was so tasty I had it all. Probably the best chicken fried rice I've ever had. I typically like your standard chinese restaurant cfr, but this had definitely swayed my buds. I'm ordering take out from there from now on. My husband had the chicken in garlic sauce. He said his food was luke warm, not hot when it came out, and with that he was disappointed. He also thought it was a little pricey. Personally I feel $12 is pretty standard, if not a pretty good price, for an entré at an Asian restaurant of this quality. Those were his only two complaints. He also got the Godzilla roll which he said was as good as any other Godzilla roll you'd get from other good sushi places. He said is was good. Towards the end of our meal now 10:14pm the manager comes by and asks us how our meal was. We responded it was great and let her know we're hurrying because we know she probably wants to go home. She says, "No, no take your time. I'm here anyway doing paperwork. Please take your time you'll keep me company." She was very nice gave my daughter a toy to play with. Sweet lady. Overall I'd say this is a great place to go if you're a sushi lover like myself. So glad I don't have to go out of town to get this quality anymore. I hope it lasts. My only little annoyance would be that I ordered the wasabi tobiko first and it came out last. Likewise my husband ordered the Godzilla roll first and it came out last. Other than that they would've gotten five stars. read more

Having been in the area of Koi several times I finally decided to stop in one night . I was with my 2nd son. We ordered the Tom Yum soup with Chicken. It was good . A little spicy but it lacked the hook of that something that Tom Yum has normally? Maybe kefir lime leaf , maybe more sour ? It was delicious nevertheless. I ordered chicken Pad See Ew. My son had chicken lo mien. Both dishes were delicious. The size was easily enough to share and have left overs . Then with the help of our wait-person ?? Jillian we test ran the sushi . Of course I ordered Spicy Tuna roll and Caterpillar roll of eel and avocado . My son got a Cali Roll. The spicy tuna was good+ . It was very finely minced and had no body . My son's Cali was perfect , he said it was perfect . Now the caterpillar ? It lacked the crispy crunch of the tempura bits . It had black and white sesame on it and was drizzled with the eel sauce . It was about a 3 out of 5 . Why , it was very salty ? Like table salt salty . Never have I had a eel roll of any name be salty ? Maybe the itamae grabbed the wrong shaker or someone put salt in the sesame seeds ?? Don't know ? Still was good , I ate it all . Jillian was delightful and attentive and answered any questions we posed . When I'm back in that area I will stop in again . The menu is huge . So many choices . read more

I went to koi for the first time a couple weeks ago. I was seriously craving Thai and they did not disappoint! Service was friendly and prompt. We did go on a Saturday night and they don't take reservations so there was a bit of a wait (about 35 minutes) but hey after 2020 I was just happy to go out. I'll definitely go back and will also try the take out. read more

Amazing! Get the godzilla roll! I'm not sure if they have opened their seating up yet, but they also have great atmosphere.

This is quite a a nice Asian fusion place in a strip mall location. The decor and setting is contemporary and comfortable, and the place is clean. On this first visit, we found the portions generous, prices reasonable, and quality very good. Complimentary edamame is provided Wife had chicken teriyaki, son had a sushi deluxe plate, and I had their panang curry beef, which I really enjoyed (and we all enjoyed our dinners). The rice bowl with the large curry dish was on small side, but server readily provided another bowl upon request. The chicken teriyaki and sushi dishes also came with a soup and nice salad with ginger dressing. Beer is also very reasonable and I had a Tsingtao for $4. They have a pretty extensive menu with various Asian dishes as well as sushi offerings. Sake is also available. We were here on a Sunday evening, and while it was quiet at 6pm, by 6:30pm, several groups started rolling in. Service was efficient and friendly. No Asians on the staff that we saw, but no biggie, and just sayin, and this is Bourbonnais after all. Very likely to return! read more

Held hostage. I did not receive my proper order was offered a $2 credit. Upon later return NOT allowed to use the credit. Told to order same dish.Triple crown with fried rice. Overcooked vegetable swimming in a OILY watery brown sauce more like soup. Since this was takeout, I tried dining in. Hoping for a better experience. That was NOT to be. Asked to apply my credit and that was not to be either. No rule on the menu I ordered from and NO explanation by waiter. By law you can't charge for what is not on your menu. Teriyaki Salmon I've had better .Losy food, lousy customer service. NO TIP for you. ZERO STARS. read more
