Is Koi worth going to?

[Alabaster Doll]

I hear its pretty expensive, is the food and ambiance worth it?

Thank you so much!!! I had seen the baked crab roll on the online menu, so now I will definitely get it.

definitely go.
koi is underrated and gets a lot of undeserved flak.
yes it is a total scene -- but they also turn out a lot of good dishes, you just have to know what to order.
so i'll tell you: the three-layer tuna "taco" type thing, the seared albacore w/onions, the miso cod, the rock shrimp tempura, the tuna on crispy rice and ESPECIALLY large quantities of the warm crab rolls. they are absolute heaven.

go for the celebs, not for the food. if you want that style of designer rolls/cooking, id recommend katsuya anyday (the valley one, not brentwood).
