KOI - Menlyn Maine

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Koi, a popular restaurant in Pretoria, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly hostess who promptly seated me at a table with a beautiful view of the restaurant's serene garden.

The ambiance at Koi was elegant and sophisticated, with dim lighting and tasteful decor. The seating was comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and intimate.

The menu at Koi offered a wide range of Asian-inspired dishes, from sushi and sashimi to stir-fries and noodle dishes. I decided to start with the miso soup, which was flavorful and comforting. The broth was rich and had just the right amount of saltiness, and the tofu and seaweed added a nice texture to the soup.

For my main course, I opted for the crispy duck with plum sauce. The duck was perfectly cooked, with a crispy skin and tender meat. The plum sauce added a sweet and tangy flavor that complemented the richness of the duck. The dish was served with a side of steamed vegetables and jasmine rice, which were cooked to perfection.

To end the meal, I couldn't resist trying the green tea ice cream. It was the perfect balance of creamy and refreshing, with a subtle green tea flavor that was not overpowering. It was a delightful way to cleanse the palate after the meal.

The service at Koi was exceptional. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing recommendations and ensuring that I had a pleasant dining experience. The food was served promptly and was beautifully presented.

Overall, my experience at Koi was outstanding. The combination of delicious food, elegant ambiance, and attentive service made for a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend Koi to anyone looking for a high-quality Asian dining experience in Pretoria.

Koi is a huge favourite for my wife and I. It serves The Capital hit guests which is a huge plus. The food is very well prepared and waiting times are not long. The restaurant is located at the entrance of Menlyn Maine which gives patrons a great view of the mall and quick access to the rest of the precinct. Ample seating is available in the restaurant, outside and upstairs to cater to all preferences. Definitely worth visiting.

If you looking for a great vibey place to eat and chill, Koi is that place. Amazing Asian flavors that will make you come back for more. Every meal is different and well presented. Clean and beautifully decorated. They have a beautiful setting of comfortable couches, there’s also a bar area with delicious cocktails or mocktails if you prefer.
I thoroughly enjoy Koi

My 11 year old daughter and I decided to come to your restaurant on Saturday 19/02/22  just after 8pm.   We had just received bad service from a restuarant next door to yours and were truly disappointed. The minute we walked into your restuarant,   we were well taken care of.   The food was amazing,   the waiter, everything. Thank you so much

Always nice. Again with our favorite salmon cream cheese, spinach cream cheese and crispy duck … Yummy Yummy

KOI has to be my favorite restaurant in Pretoria East. The food is absolutely out of this world. I enjoy their beef noodles, beef rib-eye with mushrooms and their signature cocktails.
The restaurant is so beautiful and the people that go there as well very modern, well presented and well dressed.

I'm an explorer of environment and cuisines and in this establishment I found nothing shot of excitement, exhilaration and best chicken dish I have ever had. If you looking for a cozy yet vibrant establishment with best customer service than you need to look no further than KOI. I can dine here all day everyday without being bored with the menu.

Love this place with all the different eating places and if you want you can do some shopping. Just a nice place to chill
