The Clever Koi has my heart! Came here on a Saturday for happy hour (4pm - 6pm). What can I say... I was impressed by every detail of this restaurant. No wait. The modern Asian decor. The friendly and attentive service. I can go on.
Their happy hour menu features so many great dishes AND drinks which to me says a lot because I feel that some restaurants are so minimal on their happy hour menus. I came here with my family, a party of 5. We ordered everything on the happy hour food menu to share (5 dishes, minus the wood grilled veggies). The pork ramen was so good, we ordered 2! We all were fighting for the last bit. We added a kimchi fried rice with pork belly which was so good, I want to try it again with the other proteins. From rave reviews, we ordered each steamed bun (5) for each one of us and WOW! Just wow. So full of flavor like all the other dishes. And the greatest part, is that all of these dishes plus 3-4 drink orders came out to exactly $100. I was expecting much more! I am surprised that Clever Koi isn't swamped for happy hour on a Saturday! I won't accept coming here any other way. And I will definitely be back for more.
I enjoyed this restaurant experience from start to finish! Can't wait for the next.
