text: I love Koi LA but the Vegas location leaves a lot to be desired It is beautiful and has a nice cocktail area that partially overlooks the casino floor which is fun for people watching but that is where it ends for me nnMaybe it is just me but when I am in Vegas I never go to Planet Hollywood for anything Generally speaking we stick to Palazzo Wynn Ceasars and Bellagio This stop at PH was a first and only to go to Koi which was seriously lacking in customers for a Thursday night in Vegas nnWe ordered crispy rice with tuna kobe beef carpaccio seared tuna with fried red onions creamy rock shrimp tempura rolls and a dragon roll Everything was as good as I remember it from LA with the exception of the crispy rice with tuna I do love that dish but I felt that the rice was overfried nearly burnt and that was disappointing If I am going to go there as far as calories go it better be worth it That one was not but YMMV It is a signature dish so on another day it may be better nnStill love the kobe carpaccio and the shrimp rolls The seared tuna with red onion could use a few more slices of tuna They are really stingy on that one It is a nice combination but I have had it twice now and I do not think I would order it againnnWe also tried the kobe pot stickers and they were good but not great Tasty enough and I particularly liked the little bit of heat that the dipping sauce had on the finish but just not mind blowing overall I would not turn one away but I am not sure I would go out of my way to order it again either nnKoi is expensive so all things considered you might be wiser to spend your money at a restaurant where the atmosphere is more upscale and service is more attentive I am glad I got to experience this location but next time I will not make it a destination
