Review from Rob Y.

Our server was attentive, and polite, although seemed like she was trying to rush us a bit. The food was excellent as far as I was concerned. The sushi was fresh, and the coconut shrimp is excellent. I admit I noticed the prices on the menu were steep for certain items like the steak mentioned in the previous review (almost $30 for 12oz), but generally for this type of formal more upscale restaurant the prices are satisfactory and in check. I would definetely go back to Koi, especially in the summer where the patio looks very nice. Even just for some drinks and some apps (the tempura was also very good). No doubt, there may be better sushi houses around but overall to please a varied palette, Koi is quite delicious.

GENERAL NOTES
It should be noted that I was pretty drunk the entire time I was here and never knew whether I was in Koi or Sizzle and I feel that's pretty much how everyone experiences Koi/Sizzle.
I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing but Koi/Sizzle seems to be the only place in Hamilton devoid of beards and plaid shirts. Once again, I was pretty drunk but everyone seemed to be pretty good looking, especially the bartenders. Seems to be the place to be if you're young, hot and into hip hop and house (and in Hamilton). Probably a decent chance of hooking up with a drunken Mac student.
MENU RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to being a nightclub, Koi/Sizzle are also restaurants. However, I don't know which side I ate in and apparently the (limited) menu changes often. Seems like pretty good food at a slightly higher than you like to pay price.
I had the chicken teppanyaki. If you're white, I'd say go for it.
SERVICE NOTES
As mentioned, the bartenders are by in large better looking than you. Despite this I seem to recall receiving fast and friendly service. No really, the staff was actually great.
LOCATION NOTES
It's a fucking maze. Honestly, I don't know how you're supposed to find your way around when you're drunk. It's like the Madison, only with more rooms and narrower hallways. Lucky for me, a nice Chinese boy named Eugene helped me out when I got lost.
The nice thing about the plethora of rooms is each room plays a slightly different style of music so you won't get stuck listening to music you hate all night (unless you hate all dance, hip hop and house). Also, if you want to lose someone in there, you most certainly can do so. Which I guess is a plus only for some.
HUMOUROUS STORY
After facetiously complaining about having my rye and ginger poured in a plastic cup I immediately (accidentally) dropped it on the floor right in front of the bartender. Of course I asked for my refill in a proper glass. She obliged. My friend who works there saw this and made me mop up the mess and return the mop to the kitchen. She's a bitch.
