Koi Japanese — Restaurant in Saskatoon

The lady who greeted me as I paused to look at the menu, thank you. I was on the fence on grabbing something there, or the pita place.

The food is pretty good, the teriyaki sauce is fairly balanced with a slight lean to sweet. With that said right near the end of the meal or right at the start where the rice was without sauce or when it that fully mixed with the sauce it feels kind of flat, which might be due to the unseasoned rice. As the first few bite if rice is dull if it lacks sauce. Or the last few bites where the sauce is the dominant flavor. The chicken and shrimp I ordered was well cooked, the shrimp cooked superbly. The torpedo shrimp was crispy and steaming.

The price for the main dish is comparable to most places that are not Mc.D or other super cheap fast food, coming in at 16 dollar for chicken and shrimp. Which is a good deal when shrimp is involved.

In comparison to an EDO chicken/shrimp rice combo - teriyaki sauce is similar (perhaps a little stronger), shrimp and chicken proteins are on-point (although I would order double chicken next time) - vegetables were a miss as they were over-cooked with no crunch. I would order this dish again and, overall, it was an enjoyable lunch. Was greeted by, who seemed to be, the owner and I sensed his passion for the food and...

I love the food here, but the lady who works here (I think she might be the owner) is very off-putting. I ordered the chicken teriyaki meal and she felt the need to tell me that “everything we have is teriyaki”. I am literally just ordering off the menu where it says “#1: Chicken Teriyaki”. I probably won’t be back for awhile as I don’t really appreciate being lectured for ordering exactly what it says...
