" At Koi Express you genuinely get a great meal for your money. The portions are generous, and the flavors of the food are impressive! I thoroughly enjoyed the seafood ramen - the broth was rich and satisfying. The staff checked in regularly to see if we needed anything, which was nice. The only downside would be the waiting to order your meal upfront, which felt awkward. Nonetheless, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Asian dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't sure what to expect when visiting Koi Express, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise! The atmosphere was bright and clean, creating a nice environment for lunch. I ordered the chicken teriyaki, which was flavorful but a tad too sweet for my liking. The portion sizes were generous, so I had enough left for later. The staff was friendly, but the ordering process is a bit confusing as you pay upfront. Overall, it was a good meal and I might come back to try the sushi next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Koi Express for a casual dinner and it did not disappoint! The hibachi shrimp was wonderful; perfectly grilled with great seasoning. I also had the pineapple fried rice, which was a delicious twist. Although the restaurant got a little noisy at peak times, the friendly staff made me feel welcome each time they checked on me. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for tasty hibachi at a reasonable price! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for authentic Japanese food, Koi Express should be on your list! The flavors are rich and true to their roots. I had the tonkotsu ramen; the broth was exceptional and the noodles were cooked perfectly. Service was attentive and friendly, and despite the unique ordering style, it flowed well. This place definitely deserves more diners supporting it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Koi Express has won my heart! Everything I had from the crab Rangoon to the steak hibachi was beyond good. The crab Rangoon was crispy and melted in my mouth. The hibachi was rich in flavor and I appreciated the generous portions. The staff were genuinely friendly and made me feel welcome. I felt that the ordering process was a little hectic, but the food quality definitely made me forgive that. I’d return without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Koi Express is a solid choice if you're craving Japanese food. I had the chicken teriyaki, which I thought was nicely done - tender and bursting with flavor. My friend had the sushi, and I sampled one of the rolls; it was fresh and generous with the fish. The ambiance was pleasant, and the service was attentive without being overwhelming. The only downside for me was having to order at the counter, which isn't my favorite style. But overall, I’d come back for the good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Koi Express left me feeling very satisfied! I had the chicken teriyaki and some crab Rangoon as an appetizer, both of which were delicious. The crab Rangoon particularly stood out; it was creamy and packed with flavor. The staff members were friendly; however, I think there was a familiar atmosphere that added to the experience. One downside is having to order upfront each time you want more. Overall, I would recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)
