Koi's Asian Cuisine

I have traveled to so many states. Lived in north Carolina, Florida, Texas, Arizona and California. I'm biased bc I'm from here. This is the best sushi I've ever had. Other honorable mentions were fine dining sushi restaurants. The snow crab salad here is just incredible.

Stopped here for a quick dinner while passing through Slidell. The reviews were mixed and I may know why. The wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was busy, but there were more open than filled tables. Still, it took awhile for our waitress to take our drink order. Right after, she took our food order.I estimate that we waited a good 30 minutes for our food to arrive. So long that she gave us another drink on the house. We were first told that they were making a fresh batch of fried rice for us, then it was fresh egg rolls. Well, obviously we want freshly cooked food! But, it should not have taken that long.The shrimp Kung Pao had a good flavor and so did the egg rolls (very crispy, fresh and tasty). The General Tso's chicken sauce had a different twang to it, hard to describe. And I have never been asked if I wanted dark or white meat and if I wanted it sauced or sauce on the side. I was thrown by that and ordered white with sauce on the side. The chicken tasted dry that way. Maybe it would have been better with dark meat and sauced?! Also, the fried rice that accompanied both dishes had a good flavor, but the consistency of stuffing. The restaurant itself had a locals kind of vibe. It did look a bit dingy and had a grease smell. I would say that it could benefit from a deep cleaning.

I love Koi. The sushi is always fresh and delicious. I always get great service, even when I order takeout. The interior could use some upgrades but that is being nitpicking. I highly recommend this place. It is my go to for sushi on the north shore.

I will have to remove the best sushi in Slidell crown from the other restaurant and give it to Koi's. Their sushi is fresh and delicious, but also reasonably priced. There is a variety of rolls to choose from and they are generous with their portions. My favorite roll is the Angel Roll: tuna, snow crab, avocado, with eel sauce on top, known as a Metairie Roll at most spots in New Orleans. I also enjoy the Supa Dupa Roll when I am visiting with my mother, she only eats non raw rolls. The name should let you know it is a huge roll, boy is it ever, I would suggest getting it made into a small roll. Finally we truly enjoy their egg rolls, a must try with their homemade duck sauce. This is a great restaurant off of Airport Rd. in Slidell. The restaurant is always clean and the staff friendly. Note: They are closed on Mondays. Definitely my new sushi spot in Slidell. It is called Koi's Asian Cuisine, so know that there is something for Everyone to eat. Until we me again.

A place known for their sushi had good sushi! My favorite was the Carribbean Way Roll but you just have to try it all! The entrees/meals were an average take out Chinese food. They were tasty and flavorful but nothing special. The sushi was really what we came for and it was good not heavenly but good. Very flavorful and definitely unique to every roll. The waiters were all very kind and welcoming. This place is very common restaurant for families to eat.

The service is awesome at koi's. Ladies are always super nice. The quality and taste of the food has decreased in the last year or so and I'm not sure why. Just my opinion, maybe they changed who they buy from ? Not sure but I can say, much nicer owner without his mom around! (Sorry!)

I am writing this review wishing I was back in Slidell so that I could order the shrimp and lobster sauce plate with fried rice and wonton, plus egg drop soup. I have been a fan of this place since it open. Actually, I am not sure, but it seems like a new extension of the former South Seas Chinese that used to be on hwy 190 w (disclaimer: this could be untrue but the food tastes the same). The to-go situation is like a well-oiled machine over there. Just know they are always busy for a reason.The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the indoor dining isn't a 5-star experience, considering decor and furniture, however know that my standards are pretty high since I've dined at some fine dining establishments so it's hard to see past shabby stuff. It's worth it for the food though. You won't be disappointed.

We try to make it here at least once a week. The food is fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem here in Slidell. We have eaten sushi from Alaska to Texas and this place is impressive. So fresh and tasty. They are very creative with their sushi rolls. Generous servings and the flavors are off the chain. The service will not disappoint. We absolutely love this place. Try the orange beef and ask for it lightly fried. It's a little sweet but the fresh mandarin oranges balance that out and the beef will melt in your mouth.

Koi's Asian Cuisine was that of a fish, very wet with an odd flavor. We initially got the so called "Boo Boo Delights" which mind you, were very delightful, but not something I'd call my boo boo. We also got a California roll, which stood for what it was, a typical California roll.For entrees we got both the sweet and sour chicken and the sesame chicken.The sweet and sour chicken was more so a gallon of sweet and sour sauce to go with your chicken, which typically wouldn't have been a problem were the tang of the sauce not equivalent to that of a sock soaked with gym sweat. For this particular sauce, there should have been about 1/4th of the amount.The sesame chicken had a good flavor, but the same problem with the amount of sauce. Both entrees came with fried rice and an egg roll. The egg roll was not tried, but the fried rice was very decent.Our server was delightful though she had only been there for 2 or so weeks, but the restaurant was a tad bit dirty and left something to be desired.Overall, Bruce's Chinese Kitchen or Imperial Chopsticks are much better options for the price point as well as the same amount of food.

We live nearby and used to order here all the time. We love the food, but the service is terrible! We called to order take out to be told they aren't accepting sushi orders or anything with chicken. Each time we visit something is unavailable.
