First time and it was fantastic from the Hostess to the Server and all staff who touched our table. Food and drinks were amazing!!

Miso shoyu chicken thigh ramen was good, but nothing special. The chicken they used in it was a little burned and gave the broth a slightly burned flavor. The egg was good in it. The portion size was decent.

Might be worth trying the pork ramen or bao buns at some point.

The shaking beef was tasty, but the rice was fairly dry and still kind of hard. There also wasn't much beef. The marinated onions were tasty.

Had dinner and a couple drinks and overall it was a good experience. The restaurant is pretty dilly lie, which ads to the ambiance, but keep that in mind if you're one to find yourself reaching for the flashlight on your phone.

The service and drinks were great. Our waiter stopped by several times and the overall level of service was high and everyone was very prompt. The food and drinks came out very quickly, and the drinks themselves were very tasty and creative. The only reason I'm not giving a perfect 5 stars is because a couple of the bao buns were pretty dry and could use some more sauce. Other than that, the mushroom appetizer and the XO Noodles were very good.

Decent. Very good service. Fried rice was quite oily. Steamed bubs were excellent. Especially cauliflower.

Great experience overall....drinks, food, service. Only negative was sitting outside and hearing loud cars, motorcycles idling next door and a lift truck dropping off a car.

Had really high hopes for the restaurant and went there because of the Google reviews. I was somewhat.... Disappointed. Had a chicken ramen and a cocktail. The chicken felt very much undercooked and the cocktail had nothing but ice in it. It was a, Ice tail. When we tell the server that the chicken felt undercooked, he just said, REALLY??, and walked away. We spent a total of 100 dollars for two people for not so great food and dissapointing drinks. Will not be coming back here again.

Most of the menu looked on the heavier side so I opted for the Thai salad with chicken and added a side of kimchi. The salad was fresh and had a good flavor overall, but it was spicy. I'm not sure if it was the dressing or the crispy wontons, but the heat was a bit too much for what I wanted. The kimchi was super tasty but also super spicy. It had my nose running and everything. I'm usually someone who handles spice well, so that caught me off guard. Because of that, I have to take off a star.
Overall, the service was great and I loved the ambiance. It's a super hip, stylish spot, and I'd definitely come back for more apps and drinks.

What a cute restaurant! We came with a reservation for six on a Friday night. I definitely recommend making one because by 7:30 pm the place was packed. We were greeted promptly and had our drinks ordered soon after. They have an extensive craft cocktail menu but I wanted something on the lighter side and went with a skinny margarita. This place really knows how to make a cocktail! Everyone at our table loved their drinks.

To start, we ordered the short rib dumplings and the Krazy Fries. The dumplings had a nice texture and presentation, but in my opinion they were missing flavor. The short rib filling just didn't stand out. The Krazy Fries on the other hand were delicious. They came topped with pork belly and a black pepper aioli that I loved. Definitely my favorite dish of the night.

A lunch time favorite, from the food to the drinks! And if you ever go for dinner you can go to Across the Pond right after and continue the fun and deliciousness! Anything on the Clever Koi menu is recommended, it's so full of flavor that you will not be disappointed. Super chill ambiance with really nice service.
