    Thoughts and designs were intricate and mind blowing. However, for the price of the degustation, small things like having the same glassware across the table; not dragging the plates when serving need to be taken into consideration.

    Absolutely incredible experience, and one we will book into again for future menus. Each course looked stunning, tasted divine and offered a unique dining adventure. Being able to watch the exquisite craftsmanship whilst enjoying the food enriched the experience immeasurably. We felt cared for, considered and appreciated. The space was warm and tranquil, the staff delightful and attentive. We're looking forward to our next visit!

    With the amount paid for this high tea, the level of service and ambience were not up to expectation. Also dissappointed with the the presentation of the high tea rack for 3 people as it reflected lack of thought putting the food on them. Staff seemed to be disorganised, distance and lack attention to diners needs. Having said I would like to acknowledge the host who welcomed us was very friendly and briefed us before we started the high tea. Unfortunately, that level of service subsided once we're served. We've to look out and called out for service. Moreover, it was not noted on the booking confirmation of the 10% surcharge. Koi knew this high tea was on the weekends and should have noted the 10% surcharge on the booking confirmation. Really dissapointed as the level of service and ambience were below expectations especially this was high tea was by Koi and the amount charged subjected to 10%.

    Desserts always amazing! Second time for the soft opening and thoroughly enjoyed just found the service was not quite up to the same as the previous time we had attended.

    Great cakes! we especially love the Opera Cake. A bit sad because only few cakes left when we came, so we didn’t really have choices. Services could be better in terms of the hospitality.

    Delicious! The food is centre stage here and so it should be. Lovely minimalist decor, professional and friendly staff and of course sensational desserts.

    Food was amazing as expected. Service needs a lot of work. Not personable at all. Do not make you feel like you are welcome it felt more like a production line. It was a soft opening so maybe it will get better but not sure I would go back after that when there are other places you can get a nice dessert.
