Upscale Japanese dining. Very fine plate presentation and quality of ingredients & preparation. Overall quality is consistent in all my visits. The prices are high but comparable to similar level restaurants in Abu Dhabi. Restaurant ambiance is great. Compared to other Abu Dhabi restaurants, Koi is a 5 star place.
Easily one of the best brunches in Abu Dhabi. From the fresh sashimi, to the free flowing sake. to the tempura shrimps, to the salads, honestly I could go on. In my several visits, I have yet to come across a single misstep at Koi. From being greeted by your server with a chilled towel to dessert and final call, everything moves flawlessly. The service is excellent, and the prices fair for what you are getting. I cannot recommend Koi highly enough.
Superior Japanese cuisine in a smart well set ambience. Visited the koi restaurant for dinner and was treated to the best sushi i have had in a long time. Grilled Japanese eggplant was superb to say the least .. must must try The takikomi rice ( rice prepared with asparagus and mushrooms in a light sauce and customized spice levels) is a must try as well. thanks
We had a great time here! The staff was very friendly and efficient! The food was really good! The sushi was quite simple, but fresh and our main dishes were great, we really enjoyed it! The only thing that put us a bit off was the wooden chop sticks, you don’t want to get a splinter in your month. Apart from that we really enjoyed it. Thanks for your service sarfraz.we really enjoyed the food and service,nice atmosphere I will come back for sure
Koi is my happy place and one of my favorite restaurant in Abu Dhabi. From its interior, romantic setup, perfect lightning down to its amazing sushi and beautiful selection of wines, I just cant get enough. We had the best service from Menchie. She always give us her warm smile and very attentive to all our needs. I can really say that this girl knows and love what shes doing. I will never get tired of coming back here and will recommend to more of my friends!
Love Japanese cuisine
Great atmosphere and food. Really a good cozy feeling inside. Wonderful staff. The hotel complex is fantastic.
Nice food 🍲The food here is reason enough to visit. Winning feature has to be its beachside location. The terraces are great for cooler months. Impressive shisha. They have some innovative cocktails on the menu. Do not leave without trying the lobster dumplings
Great place for dinner and celebration such as anniversary and birthdays. They have a very wide range of food and drinks.EVERY MONDAY THEY HAVE 50% OFF THE MENU (selected items).. I personally visit the place in weekly bases easy to find and navigate and vales service available from the Saint Regis hotel
The food here is amazing - the portions are large so dont order too much! Everything was delicious, so hard to say what our favourite was - we did really enjoy the dragon rolls. The service is excellent and we had great recommendations on sake pairings. The lighting is low, which makes for a romantic ambiance, but can make it hard to read the menu! Highly recommended for a special night out.
Amazing food and service was outstanding. Fine dining at its best
The chutney is all freshly made and delicious, and although the food costs more than most other places, the quality is amazing and definitely worth it.Derby was actually an accidental stop due to the weather, but were considering making the trip from Sheffield just to get curry...
Great food and great experience. The place is a little dead. Can be super romantic though! Would recommend a try. Pretty upscale and pricey though.
Extremely good service as well as food. They have discount every Monday. Best Sushi Rolls
Amazing food and service. One of the best brunches in Abu Dhabi
Good fusion Asian and Japanese food , a wonderful atmosphere and great service
Aesthetically beautiful scenery, sensationally breath taking, good and nicely prepared Japanese food, a place to visit again.
The food was good. But the hostess did not even show us where to be seated. The hostess was on the phone, just look at us up and down and did not even bother.
2nd brunch here and its amazing. You could eat at zuma and nobu if you want to spend 3 times as much for a quarter of the amount of food and drink, but the quality is basically the same. Service is actually better. Not your typical brunch, you dont need to leave your seat, youre given various dishes and if tou like something you can always ask for more of it. Perfect way to discover new dishes you might otherwise never try. Seriously value for money in this age of all you can eat average stuff.
My date take me here for a brunch and it is highly commendable, from the staff, ambiance and food - all are remarkable. definitely coming back for Miso Black Cod.
Great food and atmosphere. pretty well price during all you can eat evenings :)
Super place to go and enjoy the brunch with good food and beverage
Service is great. Food is just okay, better sushi is served elsewhere. I found shrimp shells in the tempura shrimp maki rolls, the first time I see such a thing in sushi in my life. Sushi feels heavy and rice is a little tasteless. Spicy tuna is simply okay. All the food could be better.
Dissapointing! Koi has a big name and we had high expectations.....the describtions on the menu is mouthwatering but the cook use the cheaper possibilities for all courses! For example... shrimps (tempura) you get the small ones in a glass and a (not so) spicy sauce instead of good shrimps. The starters where all together not to bad but mains had nearly no taste. Lamb was very fat.Staff is polite but cannot smile or do on small talk.Not again for us!
Best brunch deal in Abu Dhabi! Great food quality and service.
The service was awesome. The food was hit and miss but screaming children at 2130 on a Friday? Not good. Also the restaurant was taking publicity photos during our visit without permission. And they have a problem with the a/c. So I wont rush back.
Top service, refined kitchen and a cosy & design interior! I also enjoyed the Stellenbosch white wine...
If you try the signature dishes or the classics, theyre all delicious and well prepared. Staff were extremely friendly and fast, but be prepared to pay.
I have never in my life had bad sushi until I came to this place. I couldnt believe that an upscale restaurant had such bad food. It was such a waste of money. The place itself is nice, lively ambience especially for a romantic meal or a celebration with friends. They also had good music but thats the only good things i can say about this place. Ive had sushi in many different countties at many different price points but this by far the bottom of the list.
The most tricky japanese restaurant in the world maybe?... hmmm i rather pay 200AED for a tasteless salad than visit this place again. The people who give high reviews for this place, they tryin to act like casuals and show off like they are gentlemen. However, if you really wanna eat a nice and sense able japanese food eith good price and tasty, I recommend you to go Samurai or Sushi story with average prices and really juicy taste of food.
I really like the food and the service , the price is expensive.
That glazed lamb? I accept the challenge to finding better because it’s just not possible! 😊
Superb service and food.
Food is very good, especially appetizers.Music was generally very nice but could be loud at times (especially when place is almost empty).Service is medium. We used entertainer coupons but were cheated; waiter insisted even though I explained to him how he cheated us.Definitely not worth the money
Delicious and fresh sushi. Book early for Friday brunch. The restaurant is packed!!
My favorite in Saadyat!!
We ate twice at Koi during our stay at the St Regis and it is safe to say it is one of the better options at the resort, just a stone throw from the lobby.Sushi, California Roll and lamb were excellent the first night. Mochi and Tapioca desserts too. Spicy chicken and waggyu short ribs a bit less convincing the second night. But overall very good value for money, served with attention and a smile.One caveat: wine selection by the glass underwhelming.Still if you are tired of Sontaya or 55&5th, Koi is a very enjoyable option.
A la carte menu is good, but a little expensive. The best option is the friday brunch. Food never stops coming, and you can use Entertainer vouchers!
Food: Went to the original in LA several times. Appetizers and mains were great, however the sushi rolls were a bit of a disappointment. Rice over cooked and fish had no flavor.Atmosphere: For a Friday night it was a bit on the quiet side. We did go for an early dinner at 7pm though so it does tend to be quieter that time.Service: A bit slow at the beginning but we expressed our concern to our host and he was quite attentive.Overall I would still recommend a visit.
Bar area is really Small .. its only nice to go there with a group of friends .. music is nice
A wonderful place with excellent food, usually crowded on weekends and loud music coz of the lounge,
Amazing resturant some delicius food there is..
Beautiful place relaxing with friends for a reasonable price
Chill ambiance (in the restaurant, the lounge is loud. Their Tokyo nights is great value for the money.
Pricey food ok atmosphere most nights lacking as its very empty
The Thursday evening buffet was great. The service friendly
Had one of my best birthdays in koi. The staff were amazing , the chef gave us good food and cake with his compliments . best dish was the salmon carpaccio ! Highly recommend it.
What a dreadful experience. Empty resturant with no life, average good and VERY bad managment. I wouldnt go back if they paid me...
Excellent. Best in ABU DHABI.
Not a fan of asian cuisine i was pleasantly surprised of the venue and found some delicious vegetarian options. Located on fabulous Saadiyat island,just few steps away from St.Regis resort. Indoor and outdoor seating options.Very cosy and intimate .Great food,attentive staff.There is a bar area in case you dont feel like dining but just hanging out with friends.
Food, atmosphere all is very good!
Friday brunch 12:30pm to 4:00pmNot bad
Great food good atmosphere
Expensive but worth itNot extraordinaryStaff are very nice
Best shrimp tempura in Abu Dhabi
We go there usually love the atomsphere and food but last time the meat wasnt tasty like before. Hopefully they will change it after we inform them
We went there last Saturday but it was closed with construction removing chunks of cement inside! What’s going on?
