Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Horrible food - worse service. Not interested in return customers. Extremely rude wait staff - band on Sundays do so much cocaine that they can’t even stand straight. Wait forever for someone to even give you a menu - then they don’t bother coming back...for your order. Don’t ask for help as they are ‘busy with other customers’ - food is bland, definitely don’t order the prawns as they are frozen and then burnt to a crisp. So many good restaurants in Broadbeach - this isn’t one of them.More

My husband’s meal of prawn risotto was a small serve with very few prawns but acceptable I had the lamb gyros which proved inedible with heavy wrap filled with fries lettuce and what looked and tasted like boiled shredded lamb which I could not eat...I was asked about not eating the food and explained that it was not good However I was unhappy especially as there is a 10% surcharge on Sunday for a most unsatisfactory meal Will definitely advise against going thereMore

We really enjoyed a quick lunch here on the second day of our stay at Broadbeach so decided to have a more leisurely lunch there a few days later and were again very happy. Great service, great wine list and mixologist. And the food probably...the best we had amongst many great dining experiences.More

Some negative reviews here of late. But we experienced none of this. We enjoyed a delicious girls lunch with share plates and mains. The staff were attentive and food delicious. Would definitely return.

Very hit and miss - a brilliant weekend catching up with friends to be served cold food in an environment where other adult patrons were running amok ( physically scooting from table to table ) downing shots and sitting all over each other ( love...island meets below deck at Broadbeach ! ) After ordering , one of our guests was advised his meal would be another 4-5 min and obviously the other 3 meals were held under lamps. Cold seafood dishes that should have been hot , pasta and a salad with 3 pieces of falafel. Incredibly disappointing for a dining experience that cost over $300 to be subjected to this type of behaviour and an average standard of food - all ignored by staff but certainly noticed by other patrons. Would not go again.More

Since we were staying at the Qube close by, this seemed like a great local place to visit, having walked past it quite a few times, to see it teeming with customers. Always a good sign! Ordered the beef tartare as an entree with garlic,...pickles, mayo, wonton crisps which was really quite bland. I also went for the Seafood Linguine with prawn, calamari, clams, chilli, pernod, fresh herbs, tomato, parmesan and this was much better. The atmosphere for Koi was fun and lively. It's a really good setting. But the service was rather apathetic and slow. I think we had a new waitress but that did not bother us at all. Everyone has to start somwhere.More

Don’t bother looks good from walking past but once you go in and order not so good. steak was average ordered the sirloin med rare come out well done and than you have to pay for your sides extra so my $60 steak was terrible...kids meals are $30 and we’re just as bad I normally eat at other places on the strip and will do from now on. 6 of us ate there and I left feeling just violated and ripped off. Never again happy to pay but for the right meal.More

The food was delicious and the service great considering they were a waiter down. However, what I really want to thinks them for was their service. A small error was made with our order. Not the end of the world, but the way the waiter...handled it was honest and respectful. What was remarkable based on current service standards was that he completely owned it and apologised. There were no lies, just an apology and rectification. So a great meal and great experience. Thanks very much KOI.More

The food was as per menu but the staff definitely needed better training.you do not have a dedicated waiter rather whoever is passing your table brings your meal and another waiter cleans your meal away.

Whilst the meal at Koi was above average (relative to other Australian restaurants), the service was absolutely diabolical! We seemed to be seated in a "dead zone" service-wise even though it was in the centre of a line of tables flanking the pavement. Having completed...our main course and then waiting easily 30' with dirty cutlery and crockery in front of us (notwithstanding service staff moving past us regularly), we upped and went to pay at the bar counter. What a bad impression, and for the business a truly wasted opportunity to "up sell" further courses, e.g. dessert and drinks. Granted it was Friday night of Blues on Broadbeach, so whilst things were a little hectic in the restaurant, not all tables were occupied. Better staff training and/ or more staff would have solved the problem. During our meal, what appeared to be the restaurant supervisor and a staff member arrived to rearrange an immediately-adjacent table from 2 seats to 3 seats, and in so doing plonked two of the chairs almost upon us without any explanation or apology. Very unprofessional. Fortunately the table wasn't occupied before we left or else it would have been very uncomfortable.More

Very busy night and the service was good but I would have been embarrassed to serve up the pasta dishes …. They were dry and tasteless and the only meal on the table that was good was the steak …. Expensive and overrated!!!

I have been a strong supporter of this restaurant for many years, today I called in for a quick special lunch and cold drink. There was no service, there was no respect, my quick meal order was placed on hold for an unknown reason. After...47 mins I enquired on my order as the kitchen staff were standing around drinking beer. Just zero professionalism and one person saying sorry repeatedly. We received our burgers raw and left. Never to return.More
