Everything tasted delicious - out of this world at Ko An! We got the lobster buns as an appetizer which are very tastey. The bibimbap was made very well and the Thai red curry has a very good sauce. The desserts were exquisite! The restaurant is so pretty - the high ceilings, tables, and even bathroom, are absolutely gorgeous. They also have fantastic outdoor dining. I am really impressed with this restaurant. Can't wait to go back!

If we had gotten a variety of small plates to share we may have had a better experience. I had planned on getting Bibimbop (Koren BBQ) until they said it didn’t come in a hot stone bowl (which is a key component so the rice gets crispy) so I went with the ribeye- which I wouldn’t normally get unless I was at a steakhouse, but it looked great in the pictures. And it was good. It’s mildly seasoned, but the butter on top and the spicy sauce on the side adds a nice flavor. The fingerling potatoes were good, but they were on a bed of puréed sweet potatoes (that tastes like baby food) and didn’t have much flavor and certainly didn’t add to the dish (potatoes on potatoes?!?) the salad was just taking up room and the dried radish (?) added nothing to the dish. My dining companions udon noodles were too spicy to eat (and she likes spice)- and there was no warning on the menu. The dessert bites were delish - a little burst or flavor that reminded of a Michelin course. Both deserts (liquid chocolate and s’mores) were good. If you are looking for something fruity and a little lighter, I’d go with the liquid chocolate. But the chocolate squares in the s’mores was divine.

This place is too much.....in a great way! It's deceiving from the outside, the restaurant is very large inside with several indoor and outdoor areas. The separation of these areas makes dinner feel intimate while allowing the restaurant to seat many guests. This is farm to table with a seasonal menu. The drinks were fabulous!!!! We tried every one of the speciality drinks, Rickety Ginny was our favorite, the dragon fruit makes it a bright purple color. Super fun. We enjoyed several small plates including himachi crudo, cauliflower, lobster buns, bao, poke and tuna truffle roll. Every one of the small plates was unique, carefully prepared with small details in seasoning and garnish and tasted FABULOUS! The chef has perfected southeast Asian with a fusion of unique flavors that play on your palate. For dinner we had the Thai red curry which is an explosion of fresh seafood and the Korean BBQ which is perfectly marinated hanger steak in a bowl with lots of fun ingredients to mix in. For dessert, we had PX dessert wine which perfectly paired with freshly baked cookies and the best carrot cake I've ever eaten. I'm not sure what the chef did with the sweet brine for the beets that garnished the cake, but those were next level unique and tasty. We will definitely be returning soon!

This place is top tier. The ambiance is amazing and beautiful. The theme is modern Asian and there is a mixture of all of the Asian countries' decor. The ceilings are high, and the lighting is strategic and sets a relaxing and romantic mood. There are private room for large parties but the main dining room is huge. The food is the best that I have ever tasted. I had the lobster claw Japanese curry on the winter menu for an app. For my main dish I had a sushi roll. It was divine. The dessert was the star. I cannot explain that the textures were beautiful and the flavors were balanced. No sugar high, and so much flavor. I had a sorbet with my dessert and my boyfriend had ice cream with his dessert. When he tasted my sorbet, he preferred it to the ice cream which was also amazing. This is pricey so this would probably be a dare or celebration meal or if you're like me, go on a random Tuesday.

My husband and I come here all the time and love it! The ambiance is awesome, we love the ample space in the restaurant and how clean everything is. The bar makes great drinks, and if you don’t like anything on the drink menu; they will make whatever you would like. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The lobster buns are a MUST! They are AMAZING! We love everything on the menu- we love to order a bunch of things and eating it all! I highly recommend this restaurant.

I enjoyed this place. It has a very nice environment. This could be a very nice romantic spot. I ordered The Vietnamese Fried Shrimp. I really loved these. It came with a dipping sauce which complemented it very well. It was a nice, sweet and tangy flavor with a bit of spice. Just the right amount. I will definitely order those again. I ordered the Korean Bibimbap. The steak was cooked and flavored nicely. The egg was perfect. The kimchi was some of the best kimchi I've ever had. It had a really spicy sauce on it. It was a pinch spicier than I would have liked but overall it was very good. For cocktails, I ordered the Ricketty Ginny. I like that one and it was nice with the shrimp. I ordered the seasonal cocktail called the Bitter Becky and it was nice. It was bitter but finished with a sweetness. I loved how it was bitter and then sweet. It wasn't bad for a bitter drink. I am not a sweet drinker but I would say not bad. Becca was our server. She gave good service. I will be back for sure, especially for tge Vietnamese Fried Shrimp. You should check it out!

Dine in, dinner in early November 2022. Lovely table service from the staff. Ordered the cauliflower and steamed lobster buns appetizers with a seafood curry and pork chop entrees. The pork chop was a bit overdone, curry was okay; I'd choose something else next time. Dessert was a chocolate mousse in a doughnut shell plus 2 individual droplets of raspberry puree coated in a chocolate shell. Pretty presentation. It was quite dim in the dining room for me. There was a bar area that seemed more well lit. Plenty of parking and easy to find.

I visited kō än during Triangle restaurant week. What an experience! The small dishes were fresh, creative, and decadent. The atmosphere was tranquil and warm. The lavatory was aesthetically pleasing. They have an extensive wine list. The bar drinks were pleasantly rich and full of flavor.
