" My experience at Koi Express was delightful. The crab Rangoon was the best I had ever tasted. The filling was generous and the wrappers were crisp, almost addictive! I also really enjoyed the hibachi chicken. It was juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection. The only complaint I have is that I felt a bit rushed during the ordering process, having to go back to the counter so often. Overall, the food was incredible and worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Koi Express recently and was a bit hesitant, but the food proved to be fantastic! The crab Rangoon was unbelievably crispy and filled with a delightful cream cheese blend. The hibachi chicken was seasoned well; I loved how it came with perfectly cooked veggies. The only downside was the ordering method, which felt a bit impersonal. However, the food quality and cleanliness of the restaurant made this a positive experience overall. I would advise anyone looking for a fresh, authentic meal to give Koi Express a chance! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Koi Express during our last night in town and I’m so glad I did! The sushi was fantastic, the freshness was evident in every bite, especially the spicy tuna and California rolls. The service was equally commendable, with a warm and welcoming environment that made my dining experience pleasant. If I were to point out anything, it would just be the unique payment system; it felt a bit odd to pay before eating. Regardless, I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking to explore great sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Koi Express was just delightful! The miso ramen was the highlight of my meal. It had the perfect balance of flavors, and the chicken was beautifully crispy. I also enjoyed the generous portion sizes – I think I could eat there every day! However, the ordering system made it a bit awkward as I had to get up to order several times. Despite that, the food definitely made up for it. I’ll be back for sure, especially to try out more of their sushi options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Koi Express has delivered a consistently great experience for my family! Every visit, we take the opportunity to have their hibachi chicken, which they masterfully prepare every time. The seasoning and vegetables always complement the dish perfectly. The entirety of their operations shows they value cleanliness and customer service. I would strongly recommend Koi Express to anyone looking for a new favorite spot in town. " (*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*)
