Score
Low Risk

The health department has logged four inspections at Koi, the earliest from 2025. The most recent visit was on Aug 21, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to zero violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “observed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Koi's latest score of 100 sits above the Ponte Vedra Beach average of 75. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
