Sin-u-Rita and Who's Your Daddy are just two of the uniquely named cocktails served at Koi in Las Vegas. Both were quite tasty. The Sin-u-Rita was a patron cocktail mixed with grand marnier, ginger, and pomegranate puree and fresh lime juice. I sucked down three of those and was feeling a bit tipsy. My friend tried the Who's Your Daddy served with an energy shot. \n\nMoving from cocktails to food we ordered the crispy rice topped with spicy tuna appetizer. A little small, but super flavorful. The crunchy rice really added a unique texture to the dish. We also ordered the tuna sashimi with jalapeno and garlic chips. Excellent, but small portion. We then tried the spicy yellowtail albacore with crispy red onions. This was amazing. Lots of texture and flavor and the crispy onions were a perfect accompaniment. We then tried the the kobe beef potstickers which were good, but if it didn't say Kobe beef, I wouldn't know otherwise so we basically paid for the name. Lastly we tried the creamy rock shrimp tempura and the baked lobster roll with creamy sauce. Both were perfectly prepared. I wanted more of the lobster because the portion was so small. \n\nA note on the service -- I was supremely happy with our service for the first hour and then suddenly our waitress (Melody) disappeared for about 30 minutes and forgot about our drink order. I'm not sure what happened to her. When she came back to check on us, we had finished all of our food, all of our cocktails, all of our water and expected a cocktail (which we had ordered). She had 100% forgotten. So we took the check and left. There's nothing that makes me more pissy than crappy service. I might consider going back to Koi again next time I am in Las Vegas because their food is very inventive and interesting, but I would probably sit at the bar next time to avoid the disappearing waitress routine.
