Koi Chinese - A brief review w/pics

Finally went to Koi Sushi and ordered off the Chinese menu. We didn't have to ask, they handed us both menus as we were seated. I enjoyed both dishes we tried.

Cumin Pork (mildly spicy)

This was just killer. Tender pork, really compelling cumin flavor that stayed interesting and addictive with each bite. There were also a veg in the stir fry that I could not completely identify. I think it may have been a sort of mushroom, but it was fairly firm. It provided a nice texture change and just carried the cumin flavor

Hot Oil Beef

I think this is what is frequently called "Boiled Beef" in sichuan restaurants. It's a very spicy broth with slices of beef, (bok choy or some other similar Chinese green), mushrooms, carrot pieces & fresh bamboo shoots. It was really good, but I'd be willing to try something else next time.

I think the downside of the cumin pork was I will want to order it every single time I go.

Overall it was a great experience. It's not often that I get an unexpected great meal in the BR area. I think it will be on the new, regular dining rotation. I regret not taking a picture of the menu as you cannot find it online anywhere.
