This review is being wrote after the second time eating at the restaurant. Before I even walked in the restaurant, I loved the little "plaza" that The Clever Koi was in. It is an old existing building that contains two more businesses: Pour, a wine bar lounge and a hair salon. They all work well together. The businesses all have floor to ceiling windows that face towards the center walk so it is easy to see people that may be joining your party and to create a more open urban feeling. Each time I go, it has been busy so you might want to call ahead and find out if there is a wait. One of my favorite items is the wings. They taste different than "ordinary" wings and it is not so many that you get full before your meal. A good one to share with one or two others. All the food at the table was fresh, flavorful and good portion size. One of my favorite dishes was a noodle dish called Spicy Seafood Hot Pot. It had a nice seafood flavor with a kick. The Clever Koi is classified as Asian-American comfort food and I think you will find it just that.
