    Asian Chicken & Rice Soup from outer space that never had good food!!!

    Worst asian food ever!!! Had Asian Chicken & Rice Soup, OMG overpriced and cheap ingredients, awful food. First bite I almost want to cry that bad. So salty, nothing but cheap ingredients, simply HORRIBLE. Don't bother wasting your time & money!!!

    The served dish of flaccid sea creature. They called it mahi mahi.  I believe it was a water bat of some sort.

    Service was good. People working were friendly. And fast! My problem is the food. Not even close to what is advertised. And certainly didn't taste like one would assume. My wife recommended this place as it's near her office and eats here often. I decided to tag along. Saw the mahi mahi bowl sign as it looked delicious and I'm a fan of mahi mahi. Staff were friendly and food was fast. BUT the food did not resemble what I ordered. I ordered to go, so I did not know till I got home. Attached is a pic of what I believe is boiled mahi mahi, I think. Could be snail, turtle or some other flaccid creature from the deep sea. Nothing like the advertisement posted in the restaurant . I would still recommend this place for a regular teriyaki bowl, but cannot recommend anything else and the advertising / marketing is completely deceptive. I refuse to place blame on the staff. They're doing their job well. Restaurant was clean. This specific offering is a mess.

    Black Tea!

    Love trying new places to eat!! I guess you can say this was one place I would eat at every day if I could! I love "healthy" food's, and Tokyo Joe's did not disappoint at all. It is located in a cute center, the set up is nice. Great atmosphere, and the customer service was excellent! We have never been here so the gentleman had to walk us through what was on the build your own boxes! Seriously this was so excellent, literally everything I love in one shot! We got Bento Box, mine had teriyaki chicken with white rice, spicy tuna, Udon Noodles, spring salad with this excellent ginger soy dressing. The other box contained, mango sushi rolls, dumplings, and udon noodles with a chocolate chip cookie The black tea is so good too! We we will be back so we can try more delicious items in the menu!!

    First time here

    I got the teriyaki bowl and devoured it. It's well priced and yummy. It wasn't too busy but I went at an odd time of day. It was made in a good amount of time for the amount of customers. They were working hard on to go orders too. I would go back to this location if I'm in the area. I was out doing errands and my friend talks about this place so I figured I'd give it a try.

    Poke bowl & spring rolls
    Jon M.

    TJs located on Val Vista opposite the Dana Park mall has a great atmosphere, service with fun, healthy food at reasonable prices. Service by Manager Louis was fast and professional. My poke bowl was large for the price and filling. Recommended.

    Salmon mango roll! Was yummy!
    Samuel G.

    Great food! Good service. Had the mango salmon roll. They don't infringe on your #2A rights

    Banh mi bowl w salmon mango sushi
    Jeff B.

    Banh mi bowl may not have had every traditional nuance of a banh mi sandwich but I need this every day. I honesty needed to eat 2 of these it was so good and the brown rice was cooked perfectly, chicken sauced just right Asian bbq flavor, good greens but the highlight was the soft boiled egg! Don't take this off the menu please.

    Cream Crab Cheese Wonton Roll California Roll
    Chloë J.

    Not bad but I was hoping for more sushi options. If your looking for a good poke bowl it seems like a place you could enjoy but I personally went for sushi. I would definitely recommend the cream crab cheese wonton roll, it was unique & yummy! Staff was friendly & place was clean.

    The food did not taste good. The cashier was friendly, but the other employee was a bit grumpy. Rather expensive for the lack of quality.

    Very friendly service, cool vibe in this place…read more Started with a round of vodka mojito and a bees knees. Both delicious. Apps were the Chinese long beans which very good and the avocado ragoon. They were crispy and tasty. The inside was a golden yellow which seemed a bit confusing for avocado but it still tasted great. It came with a sweet chill sauce and a pineapple mustard, both of which were great accompaniment. For dinner we split the shaking beef which was amazing. Tender beef. Loved the pickled red onions.

Anyway, Clever Koi came to the rescue and it was a great experience! I have been to the location in Phoenix, but it was a dinner visit and the restaurant was very dimly lit. This time it was lunch, so it was nice and bright. The service was wonderful!! I did not catch their names, but the the gentleman and lady who served us were very helpful. We ordered 3 of the Steamed Buns: Pork Belly, Hot Chicken, and the Bun of the Moment, which happened to be Drunken Shrimp, I believe. I didn't taste the Hot Chicken, but the other two were super tasty!! Portions were great and every morsel was devoured. The Krazy Fries were damn delicious!! Packed full of flavor and very filling, it's a great dish to be shared. I can't pass up pork belly!! Lol I forgot what drink my friend ordered, but I had no shame and had the Pornstar Martini, yessir!!! It was quite comical when our server mentioned that most people are embarrassed to order it because of its name, but I proudly said it loud and clear! That drink was perfect for brunch/lunch! Overall it was a great visit, minus the twitching fly that was on our table after we were seated. We didn't know if it was half dead or what, but my friend just swiped it across the table until it fell off. I'm not sure they have any control over flies coming into the restaurant as people enter and exit, but it was off putting to have to shoo them away while you're having a meal and trying to converse. Other than that fly issue, the visit was solid. Prices aren't bad and there's a big parking lot outside the establishment as well as a public parking garage not far away. I highly recommend Clever Koi if you've never been!

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.

I had their Hera (Bayab Rose | Elicser | Grapefruit | Lime | Orgeat | Egg White | Rose Water), $17: It was a delightfully balanced drink with a perfect egg white froth on top. Great sips. Coming back, I was reminded why the first time coming here left me with a great impression. It's still a cozy spot though so I wouldn't recommend coming here with a large party.

The menu is confusing because the selections are very odd -- I thought it was a mexican-asian/sushi fusion restaurant -- which I guess it is but it was still really hard to create the best food experience when I couldn't see everything available. My friend was hungry so she immediately put in an order for calamari and I was being called to order the blood orange margarita slushie. When the margarita came it was like nothing I have ever seen before. It looked more like a milkshake or like a creamsicle. I dove in thinking it would be too sweet but it was actually quite delicious and I sucked it back in a second! Also I put in an order for the edamame which sounded really good in the description -- "woodfired" and spicy miso butter -- but when they came they were really spicy and the woodfired element was making me cough, strangely enough -- I couldn't finish them! Finally after waiting forever we got the drinks and apps. It then took another 15 minutes to order our food. Again it was busy and my friend and I were catching up so it wasn't a big deal. We wanted a fairly light dinner so we just ordered one roll -- the Fuego, which had yellowtail and a whitefish, chili, cilantro and cucumber plus a pico de gallo on top -- it was very flavorful -- although a bit spicy for those who are spice wimps like me.
