Review by George Smith

August 14, 2024

I recently dined at THEKOI Japanese Cuisine and it was a delightful experience! The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between casual and upscale, making it ideal for both solo lunches and romantic dinners. I tried the spicy tuna rolls and they were fresh and flavorful - definitely a must-try! ๐Ÿฃ

Their tea selection is impressive, adding a nice touch to the meal. The fast service was commendable, especially during peak hours. Plus, it's great to see a restaurant so inclusive, with options for everyone. I'll definitely return! ๐ŸŒŸ
