Stopped by The Koi in Bellevue during restaurant week, and it turned out to be a pretty good experience with a few things worth calling out. The biggest headache was the parking situation. There was no clear instruction anywhere about whether free parking was available, and if it existed, it wasn’t obvious at all. Maybe I missed something, but that’s exactly why it stood out. There was nothing guided for first-time visitors. Once I got inside, the experience picked up quickly. The restaurant week special was an incredible value, easily one of the best deals I’ve seen in the Bellevue area. Portions were solid, the flavors were clean, and everything came out looking great. The atmosphere itself was modern, calm, and comfortable for both casual and slightly nicer dinners. Service was friendly but slow, especially with check-ins and small requests that took longer than expected. It didn’t ruin the visit, but it definitely added a bit of waiting throughout the meal. The food pacing stayed smooth, and everything arrived fresh. Overall, I left satisfied and impressed by the value, even though the service and parking clarity could use some tightening.
Efficient: No
First-Time Friendliness: No
Would I Return: Yes
