As much as I enjoy Koki's, the experience is very YMMV. I've been here three times and the first time was excellent. The chef was excitable and he cooked all the food perfectly well. Everything was delicious. The next two times I've been here (I've had separate/different chefs for every occasion), were more lackluster. The food really depends on how well the chef can cook - some are better than others. And some chefs don't even have a personality. They look so tired and burnt out that they barely want to put on a show. It's also a tad pricey as they upcharge lots of things ($2.50 charge for fried rice). Overall, it's a good family restaurant but it's very YMMV.
