    Salmon Carpaccio
    Lisa Z.

    Had a reservation for restaurant week and they have a pretty wide range of options to choose from compared to some other restaurant week options elsewhere. The service is immaculate, the servers and staff are very helpful with choosing menu options. The food itself is very average, still good but nothing really stands out. The prices for restaurants in this area are pretty high as well, so something to keep in mind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Otherwise, the interior is really nice inside and is a great place for friends or for dates.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's

    Room wasn't quite ready at The Bryant Park Hotel (we got here a bit early). Asked front desk folks for a place to get a light lunch and one recommendation was Koi.......you don't have to say sushi twice to me!! Was seated promptly, great ambiance and seating but very noisy. There was a fairly large group that was especially loud and we weren't even near them. Service was excellent, attentive and knowledgeable about an eclectic menu. I went with the Omakase lunch special and was not disappointed. Really good sushi with a twist on the finish of each piece of nigiri. A bit pricey for the portion size, but definitely grade A sushi.......after all it is NYC prices!

    Located off of 40th inside of BP Hotel , across from Bryant Park. Upscale sushi with exotic and delicious cocktails, wines and sake. Celebrated a friends birthday here as our 1st night in NY & food was incredible.

    Chef's Vegetable Tempura Selection
    Yara F.

    Came here for a work dinner with a group of folks from out of town and we tried a variety of things on the menu. Overall, my favorites were the salmon sashimi, and the veggie tempura, but all of the dishes were very fresh and well . The service was a little bit lackluster, we had to clarify an allergy multiple times and the waiter wasn't fantastic on checking on us regularly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor of the restaurant felt a tiny bit outdated, with candle holders, devoid of candles, and dust settling on fake plants.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back just for the salmon sashimi though, which was some of the best I've had in the city!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was fantastic and the place had an amazing vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was also well worth the wait. Prices are on the super high side though, but what do you expect for NYC. We had the roasted Chilean Seabass, northern lights roll, potstickers, Hamachi fusion and Dragon roll.

    Sort of shocked to see the aggregated rating of this place be somewhat low. I thought it was an incredible sushi spot. The staff were friendly, they offered a great selection of drinks, cocktails and non alcoholic options. The food was delicious. All around fantastic. We went with a fixed menu option that included a starter, main, dessert that satisfied exactly what I was looking for. I'd go back again.

    Exceeded my expectations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent service. Food is top notch. Had the dragon roll and sweet chili shrimp roll. Dessert was also delicious. Extremely pricey but worth it if you want to treat yourself. Perfect restaurant for celebrations.

    Koi was good as expected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A beautiful restaurant in midtown, great place to take clients to for a work lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great service and tasty dishes. Love the sushi rolls, we all shared. But not impressed by my main dish, was pretty bland.

    Tuna Roll

    I was here recently for an event. It's a large space and we had a portion of the back row sectioned off. Prior we had a small presentation in a conference space upstairs with a bar before heading downstairs to the restaurant. Staff is attentive and we had an assortment of apps and sushi placed on tables and either passed or replished. What I had Koi Crispy Rice topped with Spicy Tuna (just ok) Tuna Roll Salmon roll crab roll Kobe Style Potstickers Salmon and beef skewers Lychee Martini

    Aka roll
    Dillon M.

    Amazing experience. Absolutely love this place. We go here every time we are in New York and is a staple for us. They have incredible food and great service. Check out some photos of the food below. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lighting is great and love the decor too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend going to Koi. Order the tartar but as a hand roll! Also the aka roll is awesome.

    Stopped by for a birthday lunch with a friend on a weekday and it was so busy! Despite the crowds, our service was attentive and prompt, and the food was better than expected. Stuck to sushi and seafood items and enjoyed every bite. It's a nice setting for an outing with co-workers or special occasion; and great it's conveniently located by Bryant Park, the library, 5th Ave shops; and for me, by the office.

I came here to throw down on some seafood and that's exactly what we did. I found out about this place because one of my favorite TikTok foodies posted that she came here when she was visiting from Chicago. It was also my friend's birthday so we figured we'd check it out. If you come with a group of 4 or more, including the birthday person, they eat for free, which is a pretty nice perk. This place lived up to every bit of the hype. We did the $125 option which includes lobster. If you have people in your group who are on the fence about spending the extra money, just remind them it's only about $35 more and that's basically the cost of one lobster anywhere else. Here you're getting unlimited lobster. The food literally just kept coming. At one point we were running out of room on the table. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed and started putting multiple items on the same plates instead of bringing everything out separately. It sounds small but it actually helped a lot and showed they were paying attention. The drinks weren't super strong but they definitely weren't weak either. If you love seafood, come hungry and bring a group. The vibes were great, the service was on point, and we left absolutely stuffed.

It's honestly a seafood lover's dream. I highly recommend coming with a large group so you can try a bit of everything. They also offer an option to pay an extra $45 to take your leftovers home, which is absolutely worth it. I ended up with so much food that my fridge is still full. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others.

The flavors in the Manila clams were still a 10/10, but I was disappointed by the portion this time. I had more empty shells in my bowl than clams with meat! I'm not usually one to complain, but I honestly should have said something. The coconut crab curry, however, knocked it out of the park as always. The flavor is out of this world, and the succulent lumps of crabmeat practically melt in your mouth. Pro tip: If you order both dishes, mix a little of the sweet basil clam sauce into the coconut crab curry. The combination is incredible! The Tongue & Cheek cocktail was divine mildly sweet, refreshing, and incredibly smooth, with a velvety texture from the egg white. Service was mixed this particular evening. The host came across as a bit rude and seemed to have an attitude, but thankfully, my bartender was attentive, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the night. Despite a couple of misses, Fish Cheeks remains one of my favorites for its bold flavors, beautiful atmosphere, and consistently unforgettable coconut crab curry.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two?

Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.
