KOI Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino

06/20/2008 Posted by PennyPretty

Koi is such a treat. All properties, everytime. Planet Hollywood is a great casino, but KOI is the gold star of this property. Seriously it is so pretty, has a GREAT lounge area (perfect for parties). The fountain dining lounge is one of the most beautiful views in the city.. If you are in Vegas, you MUST check out this property... and when you are in LA or NY, see the others. You will not be dissapointed.. Oh Crab hand rolls- crispy rice-creamy rock shrimp.... all to DIE for.. oh,, and the saketini and the Koi Sake Bascially it is all amazing!!

Pros: everything... design is a major plus

Cons: I left too full

We were fortunate to have been seated in an area, the fountain lounge, that offered privacy from the main seating area, an eye-catching view of the strip and the Bellagio Water Show, and comfort; take a look at the pictures on the Koi website- really, the picture doesn't do it justice. The experience really does begin from the time you're greeted to the moment you leave Koi. Koi is appealing to all of the senses. You can't help but gaze out into the fabulous view or scan the subtle details of the room itself. The service provided to us was exceptional; we truly felt taken care of. Nathan, our server, and his support staff were intuitive, talkative, humorous, kind, attentive, and, I feel, went above and beyond. For example, my friend, Carol, asked where she could find the ladies room and one of the Koi staff walked her all the way to the entrance of the ladies room. The food was unforgettable, succulent, and adventurous. I suggest the Hamachi Fusion, the Miso Bronzed Black Cod, the Grilled Skirt Steak, the Spicy Rock Shrimp Tempura Hand Roll (this one really made an impression on us), the Coconut Rice Pudding Brulee for dessert, and the Asian Pear for cocktails. I look forward to the next time I am able to dine at Koi; it is a gem within a city of many gems.

Pros: Appealing to all senses, unforgettable food, excellent service, ambience, located mid-strip.

Cons: The A/C was turned up too high for our preference.

The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice and there was no attitude from any of the service staff like other reviewers posted. The loud music wasn't an issue until they started play club music with bass so heavy that it was rattling the glasses on our table. If the food was truly good you could overlook that BUT...awful. Just plain awful. All the sushi tasted like it had been sitting out for a few days. One bite of sea urchin was close to inducing a gag reflex not to mention leaving you with the worst breath possible. We tried to salvage the meal by ordering off the 'hot' menu and ended up with a very average roasted duck. We ordered a comparable sushi menu at Sushi Roku a few months back and were delighted by the quality. Save yourself the trouble and just head to Sushi Roku.

Pros: Ambiance, Service staff

Cons: Food

I'll be brief... in short, I'd love to keep going back here for the food, but since the attitude is as high as a kite, I will frequent the other comparable sushi restaurants here in town. Their competition treats you better and remembers you and does something special for you. There are many choices here in town and what sets the top spots apart from the rest is that the good ones remember you. Sushi Roku, Nobu and even RM Seafood do an equal job with food but treat you far better. The bar/lounge is far too big and/or under utilized - or both. If they treated locals better, they could fill that space and create a cool scene. It's too bad because I want to like this place more and frequent it - especially in the newly revamped casino, but I'll take my business elsewhere. You guys aren't in LA, so clue in or just be another sushi joint in the ever growing landscape. Leave the 'tude' back in Hollywood where you can get away with that garbage.

Pros: Cool room with great design and look, very good food.

Cons: Attitude from staff. Over-priced, treat you like a number not a person.

Looking for a good place to eat in vegas is nearly impossible. I have been to both Koi LA and Koi NY and found them to be amazing but was a little skeptical of Vegas. However, much to my suprise, Koi pulled through. The place was GORGEOUS, the food was so fresh and the view was INCREDIBLE. I sat in the "fountain room" and watched the Bellagio light show, eating fantastic sushi. The staff was very nice and accomodating, making this dining experience on of my favorite.

Pros: two thumbs up

I just had dinner at KOI in Las Vegas over the weekend and it was such an amazing experience. I didn't know food could taste that good!! The creamy rock shrimp is to die for!!!! I also enjoyed the cripsy rice dish they had with spicy tuna. I ordered two of them. The service was great, everyone was always watching to make sure i had enought to drink and if i wanted to order more. I tried the house KOI sake and really liked it because it wasn't too dry. I cannot wait to try the other KOI restaurantas in Los Angeles and New York!

Pros: food is like no other sushi restaurant

I was taken to Koi on a date on a Friday night. We had reservations because we thought that it would be busy at 8 pm considering how packed Vegas was, but to our surprise it was empty. There were about 10 other couples there. We were seated after having to wait for 10 minutes while the hostesses joked around with one another and flirted with male guests. Once we were seated we were asked four different times by two different servers if we wanted to order alcohol, when we said no they kept pushing it. It was annoying that they didn't take no as an acceptable answer. The food was good but it was not worth the price. We got sushi that tasted EXACTLY like the rolls you can get at a half price sushi restaurant. There was nothing special about it at all. They didn't even give us soy sauce when we received our food. Our waitress didn't come around until 10 minutes after our food was served and quickly retrieved the soy sauce when we asked. I asked for salt for the edamame and her response was "it has salt on it" and did not bring me any. For three regular non specialty rolls and one order of edamame our bill was slightly over $50. Definitely not worth the cost when we left hungry and unsatisfied but spent a lot for what little we received. The service was mediocre and not up to par with the environment that they are trying to create. I would say skip it and go somewhere cheaper because the service will be better and the food will taste the same. All you are paying for is the name of the restaurant.

Pros: The decor was very nice and it created a very romantic feel.

Cons: The food and service were no where near worth what you pay.

Best experience ever!!!!! I've been to KOI in West Hollywood and loved it, so when I found out that KOI was opened in Las Vegas, My friends and I went. I ordered the Kobe beef and it was delicious. It was tender and soft. It melted in my mouth. After we had dinner, we headed for the lounge. OMG! The decor was just fantastic. We had mixed cocktails and all of them were good. Must try the Leche Martini....yummmm. The service was kind and friendly as well. If you are in Las Vegas, its definately a MUST GO!

Pros: EVERYTHING

Cons: having to leave
