What Briann Beigel likes about KOI Dessert Bar:
Both wagyu meals on the set menu the tartare and steak were expertly done. Probably my favourite dishes of wagyu ever. unfortunate that some of the other items on the set menu, such as the duck, were unavailable. In spite of this, staff were very hospitable. Very ambient and suitable for families or couples, no matter what time of day. View all feedback. What Jack Philpott doesn't like about KOI Dessert Bar:
We ate dinner here for Valentine’s Day, booked at 7:30pm. Because of the degustation experience customers, we felt that we were lower priority customers. We waited 40 minutes for our drinks to come, which was shortly followed by one of the starters. The other starter came at 8:30 an hour after we were sat. Our mains were really delicious and definitely the highlight of the night. Overall, a 3/5. View all feedback.

The restaurant offers a mixed experience, with some customers feeling like lower priorities due to a degustation event, while others praising the delicious mains. Some reviewers mention rude and unprofessional staff, while others highlight the amazing desserts and friendly service. Overall, the restaurant seems to have a creative and well-thought-out menu, with some room for improvement in service and portion sizes. Despite some mixed opinions, many still find it a great place to hang out and enjoy tasty food.

Some employees are not well trained. We had to repeat a few times. The check-out type did not seem happy when we paid with card instead of cash

The food is overpriced and not really special. I would say with the similar price you will have much more choices
