Okay honestly I didn't think I'd be able to post this review because I'm in a sublime food coma.
I have been eyeing Clever Koi for months and avoiding it due to my assumption of it being a mecca for pretentious concoctions and over hyped ambience. The atmosphere was great. The service was excellent (get seated in Natalie's section if you can she was awesome). The pork buns are SO GOOD. I hate seeing pork belly on menus because it's always chewy and gross but damn these guys did it right. Chow mein was fresh and yummy. The only thing I wasnt impressed by was the pork dumplings/their kimchi was a little weak but I will definitely be back to spend my whole paycheck on their cocktail menu. They should rent livers so I can effectively try every drink they have. Cant wait to come back. I think we found our new happy hour spot.
