Tasty food and affordable pricing! General atmosphere was nice and cozy with warm decorations. Service was great, but food did take a while to arrive. Music was great and was at an appropriate volume generally, but we thought the live music was too loud. Note that the live performances have a $10 cover charge.

Cute little place.. Little. The service is great. The food is so good. The peanut satay vegan noodle bowl with fried tofo was too die for. So was the beef bistek. Cozy atmosphere. I'll be back, soon :)

I love coming here for Comedy Wednesday. The quality of service is awesome and the servers are all very attentive. I love their brews on tap and they even have Kraft root beer. Highly recommend this place.

I know you wanna hear about the food and the restaurant but I can’t start my review without saying this place was a balm to my soul. The food was delicious, the service extraordinary and the group of talented artists sharing their poetry made my night perfect!

Nice restaurant/bar with an Asian inspired menu and creative cocktails. Had the classic curry - best fried tofu I’ve ever had! Extremely friendly staff and live music.

Comedy Wednesday is the best! Other performances are great too! Food is delicious but be careful of choking when you’re enjoying the show too much! Haha! The atmosphere is smaller than I expected but you’ll get used to it. Will come here again!

I went in for Comedy night. The serving staff were all quite friendly and attentive. I hope more people start going for the comedy, as there were some laughs to be had, and they had Matt Foster as the headliner. The food was great.

Koi has an amazing ambiance, fantastic staff, and an absolutely fantastic menu that caters to every diet. A great place for lunch, dinner, or evening drinks with live entertainment. A real gem in downtown Calgary! �

The bar here has a good selection for wines by the glass, a good draught beer selection and nice cocktails. As for the food menu - the ginger beef is awesome! I sat near the kitchen door and there was a symphony of beautiful food aromas wafting out the door. I will definately be back to "eat my way" through the menu!

There’s always a good variety of great music, something going on every night of the week, the staff are incredible and friendly, the food is delicious, the drinks are quality. Truly a Calgarian institution.

I made better friends with the staff here then I have going out to any other establishment. That's just a bonus too, the food is some of the best in Calgary, if not THE best!!!

The staff are super friendly, caring and genuine. This cozy business is a huge supporter of the arts. You can go to Cafe Koi to enjoy or perform any genre of music, poetry while being surrounded by beautiful paintings or photography. Also, the food is absolutely delicious!!!
Owners Aziz and Erin are so down to earth. Congrats to recently located owner Geoff on his new adventure!! The Cafe Koi Family will miss you.

Friendly staff, great, healthy food, diverse programming. The wait to get served could be shorter though they have improved quite a bit on that recently. Great lunch spot, or for evening entertainment. I will keep coming. :)

The community that exists within the regulars and the people that just show up is spectacular to say the least. Best place to play music and get amazing food while you do!

I’ve always loved Koi, especially the monthly Haven party (seriously - Timothonius , Nate, and Maxwell are doing something truly unique in calgary’s Soul/Hip Hop/Jazz scene!!), but the service we were given last night from Larissa was amazing!! She took an already incredible place and truly raised the bar!

I got Cafe Koi ALL THE TIME! Most often on Tuesdays during the Singer/Songwriter open mics, though I have been there during their Jazz Open Mic nights and other evenings throughout the week. They have an amazing and great tasting asian fusion food selection that caters to any dietary needs, combined with beautiful live music that is present on any given evening. More than just a cafe, this place houses a community of music lovers, amazing local artists and talent, and welcomes anyone and everyone who wants to enjoy great music and great food.
Blaine Kingcott
Absolute gem. The food is great and there's always different live entertainment going on. The owners put allot of passion into this and it shows. Great place for a date or drinks that's not to overwhelming. Highly recommend

The open Mic here is the best one I have ever been to. Filled with extremely encouraging fellow musicians and the atmosphere is so relaxing. They have other specialty nights like jazz and classical which are equally as amazing! The food is wonderful as well! Loved it!
