KoKo Asian Fusion, in the Financial District, is new. The decor is attractive, with swaths of decorative fabric, shades of yellow and red, some Asian pieces on display (a lacquer chest, a porcelain horse), and lots of backlighting. It was a little too quiet and too light, though, perhaps. These are the kinks of a new restaurant, along with things like an awkward arranging of the plates on the table (just set them down and leave, man!).
My egg roll was dry and uninteresting. My chicken pad thai was fine, but it did not taste like pad thai should - no sweetness. And what are little bits of cabbage doing in pad thai? On the other hand, Pat's Grand Marnier Shrimp (made, according to the menu, with condensed milk, oddly) was delicious. The sauce was lovely and the walnuts and broccoli were a nice accompaniment.
A particularly nice touch was included with our leftovers. It was a tidy ziploc bag with spoon and fork, napkin, sauces, and even a mint!

I gave KoKo a whirl for takeout a couple days ago, getting a salmon and avocado roll and beef lo mein. Both were delicious, and the beef lo mein was a huge order that provided me with plenty of wonderful leftovers (just as good re-heated!).
