Koi Restaurant

Koi, one of the sexiest Japanese restaurants on the Strip, is hidden on Planet Hollywood's mezzanine level, a nice respite from the casino below. Giant carved Indonesian doors open to reveal three gilded Buddhas handcrafted in Thailand, as well as prayer wheels that lead you past the lounge and into the dining room. From giant bamboo plants to curved lattices along with the ceilings and walls, Asian-inspired yet modern design elements surround guests in the rounded, flowing room.

Sushi and maki are excellent, but Koi's true strengths lie in its signature dishes. Starters like nutty, crispy rice topped with spicy tuna and fresh salmon carpaccio with black truffles and savory ponzu demonstrate the seafood's freshness and quality. Toplist recommends the peppercorn filet mignon toban-yaki with shishito potato mash and the miso-bronzed black cod from the warm menu. You should finish the meal on a sweet note with the coconut rice pudding crème brûlée, a delectable twist on the classic dessert. Koi's extensive saké and creative cocktail menu can be enjoyed in the lounge overlooking the Bellagio fountains.
