UYE Happy Hour At INDO Restaurant & Lounge

Writing this review super late, but better late than never!
Such a lovely event put together by Kevyne and Denise, which was was an absolute success. It didn’t even feel like an UYE– hell there was even Unilocal swag provided by the ever so dearest Abby S.
I had the pleasure of spending happy hour with amazing South Bay Unilocalers and my mother– it was her first Unilocal event.
My mother and I shared Crispy Calamari, Garlic Frites and I sipped on a Passionfruit Caipirinha cocktail. There was a Poh Pia sample as well as small dessert samples of Coconut Tapioca and Crème Brulee. All items perfect to go along with drinks and good company.
I had such a blast with fellow Unilocalers and the amazing staff working at INDO. Such a great event, many thanks again Kevyne, Denise and Abby!

So the LAST Unilocal event at INDO led to me giggling the night away amidst a mountain of empty shot glasses until I had to resign myself to calling my poor roommate to come drive my drunk butt back home. And drive me back in the morning to pick up my car. Right, so that was last time.
This time, I told myself, this is just a casual happy hour, gonna have a drink or two, chill on the patio, meet some fine Unilocalers, etc etc. And I am happy to report I did all of the above! Great unofficial event! Thank you Denise and Kevyne for an awesome awesome weekday party. And INDO, a lovely time as I’ve come to expect. Wonderful food, wonderful staff. That was the first hour.
And then the double trouble duo Tommy and Bryan started with the shots again. It did not end as tragically (read: tragically awesome) as last time but I did end up locking my bike to a tree sans key so again I had to leave my mode of transportation in the INDO parking lot. But Unilocalers are a kind lot and always willing to lend a hand so thanks to new Unilocal friends Jeff J. and Morris C. for driving this crazy girl back home.

I say nice job Kevyne and Denise! It was a fun UYE that resembled a YEE. I almost forgot it wasn’t! It was that well planned and executed! Abby was very pleased I heard:) She created a very well trained mini me’s!
The HH menu was awesome. Indos famous appetizers were so graciously shared to Unilocalers for free and the drinks at $ 5 each! Oh my! My favorite drink Paloma remains at the top of my list.
Brian you’re awesome! Thanks for letting us enjoy your place once again!
It was nice meeting and chatting with new Unilocalers and saying hello to old friends!
It was one great shindig! Adam and I had a blast!

Fantastic UYE organized by the 2 lovely darlings Kevyne R and Denise L. Kevyne has matured from a Unilocal Talk teaser into a social event hostess! And Denise L has transfered her performance skills into a great show for her Unilocal friends!
Much thanks goes to Abby S, the SBCM, for adding YWP, or as they say in the department store cosmetics business, Gift With Purchase, in this case Unilocal schwag With Purchase, even if you were cheap and bought nothing. Abby’s pretty face and red emblemed giveaways made it seem oh so Unilocal Elite! Brings back fond memories when I was an Elite the last 5 years.
And extra special thanks go to Bryan Lew, one of the owners of INDO for his hospitality and generous offerings of appetizers and his great Happy Hour ($ 5) prices for morsels and libations (from 5 — 8pm, so come on down!)! The freebies really made this feel like a YEE, and all those cheap Unilocalers and Unilocalettes didn’t have to starve! (And complain like they do at other Unilocal events about not getting enough free food and booze! Geesh! I can see Abby rolling her eyes now about those types, discretely of course! C’mon, how can you not rate FREE at 5 stars?)
And thanks to Alex L, who took so many great pics just like a YEE, with a real camera, not a point and shoot or cell phone, but one with a great macro lens.
And to Tom, the Chef who supervised the hot dishes from the kitchen. He graciously came out and met some of the Yeeps.
And the beautiful and fantastic servers, who are well trained and very pleasant. Like Michelle, who handled the myriad of orders of this group of 50, at least our section almost single handedly, with the help of the muscle bound food servers on the staff. And Mel, who kept things going inside with the other paying customers. And others I have yet to meet. Great crew! I will meet them the next time I return.
I came here about a week ago, not to do pre-​event scouting and intelligence, but it just so happened that I met a dear friend here, Julie K, who was here again with many of my regular Unilocal friends. And I made the effort to meet many more I had never had the chance previously, just like a YEE! And I am especially glad to have met my long time virtual Unilocal friend one whom I highly respect for his superb knowledge and detailed analysis about noodles and sushi, Ken K.
But most of all, Salamat to the 2 fine Filipinas that put this whole thing together, Kevyne and Denise.
Loved it! Just let me know when and where the next one is, and I will show up.

It was a pleasure and an honor to host my first UYE! I hope all our guests had a wonderful time kicking off some gorgeous summer weather with good drinks, tasty food, and excellent company. Kevyne R. and I enjoyed sharing INDO Happy Hour with everyone. I have to say, I did not expect such a spectacular turnout and am overjoyed that it seems to have been a big hit!
This 5-​star review is for all the people who made this event possible, primarily INDO for being a superstar venue. I hope you didn’t actually think we were going to review ourselves. Ha!
INDO (5 stars):
— — — — — — —
We could not have done it without INDO’s owner Bryan and all the awesome staff. INDO graciously reserved most of the beautiful outdoor patio for our Unilocaly party, and offered to provide complimentary tastings throughout the event. All the INDO staff were working very hard and running around like crazy to ensure all our Unilocalers were happily stocked up on food and drinks. Even when we had a whopping ** 58 ** people show up (we expected 35 – 40), they stepped up their game and still made sure everyone was taken care of.
The $ 5 appetizers and drinks are unbeatable, and who doesn’t love free samples? Thank you so much to Bryan and staff for providing the perfect venue for a Unilocaly happy hour. I know many of the guests from last week’s UYE will be back for more.
OUR CM ABBY S (5 stars):

Special thanks to our amazing South Bay /​Peninsula CM Abby S., not only for lending her full support and answering my random questions, but also for attending with enthusiasm and Unilocal swag! Abby, I’m glad you were able to «sit back» and enjoy the event as a guest. It’s the least we could do for all the awesome events you’ve hosted!
ATTENDEES (5 stars):
— — — — — — — — — — -
Thank you to all the Unilocalers and +1’s who attended. You ALL made this event the success that it was, and we had so much fun hanging out with you. The Unilocal community is truly beautiful. I saw many «experienced» Unilocalers mingling with and welcoming new folks, as well as many +1’s observing the comeradery and declaring they would be joining Unilocal.When I left at 9:30 (an hour and a half after the event had «ended») and saw close to half the Unilocalers still mingling on the patio, I felt satisfied that the evening had gone well.
And finally, this event wouldn’t have happened at all without my lovely co-​host and good friend Kevyne R. It was her idea to throw a UYE at a new and upcoming restaurant, and of course we chose INDO. Thank you for sharing this experience with me. I had so much fun being partners in crime!
Until next time, SYOY (see you on Unilocal) and raise a glass to the fantastic Unilocal community!

A super fun UYE organized by the very sexy and amazing Denise L. and Kevyne R. It was one serious party and would easily rival any official Unilocal event. Denise helped me out with my Unilocal name tag and introduced me to a bunch of cool people, which is definitely what I needed, as I attended without a +1. What a sweet hostess for making me comfortable!
An Unofficial Unilocal Event with a bunch of Unilocal swag on all the tables — Unilocalsticks, Unilocal Breath Mints and Wristbands?!? What?! More like OFFICIAL status. Thanks Abby S. for all the cool Unilocal swag! I definitely needed a Unilocalstick and breath mints as this pollen and allergy season is totally kicking my butt and making me miserable. How about some Unilocal tissues or Unilocal hand sanitizers? :P My misery was mostly forgotten as I mingled with awesome Unilocalers Tracy K., Katherine C., Carl W. and Bobby L.
Due to my minuscule income (and generally Asian cheap-​skate-​ness), I was very very thankful for the awesome deals that Denise L. and Kevyne R. were able to arrange with INDO. A special menu of $ 5 cocktails and appetizers kept me booze-​fueled, red-​faced, stomach happy and didn’t break the bank. Shout out to INDO for providing complimentary crème brûlée and coconut tapioca desserts. The server even hooked me up with seconds. Yum!
I really loved the Pear and Ginger Mule, made with pear vodka, ginger syrup, lime and soda. It was surprising stiff, given the innocently sweet and spicy name. I could drink those all night long, but then who would drive me back to the East Bay? The tuna tartare was artfully plated and really tasty. I wish there was more spice or heat, but that’s not really a complaint. The chicken skewers, fried calamari and roti with curry sauce were really delish!
A warm shout out to Alex L. for taking lots of professional quality pics, making this unofficial Unilocal event feel very official indeed!
Awesome deals, incredible outdoor space, outstanding and attentive waitstaff service and seriously fun atmosphere with my Unilocal brothers and sisters for a fabulous happy hour on a hot day in the South Bay! Great job, Denise L. and Kevyne R. for this successful 5-​star event! Thanks for putting this event together!

Is it tacky if me and and my partner in crime awesome Denise L will review this event… Yes? No? Meh! Too late, we will review it anyway. Succckkkaaaa! :)
When Denise and myself had HH here in INDO, I told her that I wanna do a UYE event and co-​host it with another Unilocaler but it needs to be in a place where people will be so interested to come, show up and try it. Since Denise is a regular in INDO and she knows Brian and most of the staff. We agreed to do it here and do it together as partners.
By now, everybody knows already how GOOD the food that they make here. How their cocktails can make one super happy, jolly, and tipsy! and for $ 5 happy Hour prices, it’s definitely a great place to chill. The patio that was reserved for the event was perfect to kick off this Hot California Summer.
A well deserved THANK YOU to:
The owner Brian — For your generosity in giving us free samples of delightful food and drinks and for accommodating all 40+ beautiful Unilocalers (i think it even reached 50)!
The staff — who were so attentive to every Unilocalers needs and were all smiles and helpful that night.
To the gorgeous SBCM Abby S for showing up and giving her full support and bringing some Unilocal schwag that us Unilocalers can’t seem to get enough.
To Booboo Alex L for snapping some professional photos. Can you take my wedding pics, please? :)
To ALL YOU fellow awesome Unilocalers for making it that night and spending your precious time with the Unilocal community
and
To my ever dearest partner in crime and dear friend DENISE L who made everything possible! You totally ROCK!
CHEERS and See you all on our next UYE!!!

My first UYE and a really fun event; wish I could have stayed longer, but I had to bolt halfway through.
Double thanks to Denise and Kevyn for setting this up. It really was the perfect setting for late spring cocktails and apps — a beautiful night, a festive group, and the staff treated us all like rock stars.
The apps were right down my alley — roti prata, lamb murtabak (looked like samosa), tuna tartare and chicken satay. I enjoyed them all, and we definitely got a break on price.
And it was really nice to see some old Unilocal friends and meet a whole set of new ones. I think they are on to something with this whole UYE idea (it’s new… right? ;-)). So when’s the next one?

Want to make your Unofficial Unilocal Event official? Contact Denise L and Kevyne R.
For a reasonable rate, these ladies can turn any party into an extravaganza. They can make any football game into a superbowl celebration. They can turn streams into rivers. They can make hills into mountains.
Ok, for reals… Hats off to Denise and Kevyne. They know how to throw a serious party… and a very well coordinated one. Great venue, awesome happy hour deals, complimentary appetizers/​dessert, outstanding service, and wonderful friends.
What more can a Unilocaler ask for?

Thank you two lovely ladies for a fun evening. Never one to turn down an INDO Happy Hour this event was great to hang out with even more of my favorite Unilocalers.
What a great turn out this event was. the place really was buzzing with the awesome staff bringing out samples of menu items for us to try. As Anson also mentioned, I didn’t see any of the complimentary drink samples but I didn’t come for the freebies so that’s fine. I came to support my girl, Denise. I did get to try the Samosa and Crème Brûlée though. Yummo!
Hubby and I also took full advantage and ordered from the HH menu — Garlic Frittes, Murtabak, Chicken Satay AND Roti Prata with a couple of Cocktails to wash it down with That sure was a feast!
Well done ladies. Abby watch out!

Wonderful job, Denise & Kevyne! You pulled a very successful UYE that would rival any YEE in South Bay or beyond :)
It warms my CM heart to see a party thrown at a wonderful venue like INDO, who’s passionate about serving their customers top-​notch cocktails and interesting menu items… and service is always with a warm smile (sometimes even a hug!). INDO hosted an Elite event back in March and I’m so glad that y’all liked it enough to plan your own little shindig here too. Their back patio was perfect for happy hour on a hot day!
Who doesn’t love $ 5 drinks and complimentary appetizers? No complaints here! I could drink the pear ginger mule all night long, but I did experience a little drink envy when Sidney S’s sparking rose was brought to him. Tried some of those chicken satay with peanut sauce and now know what everyone was raving about at the (Pre)Easter Sunday party… they were moist and the peanut sauce has a little kick to it! Also nabbed a garlic fry off of someone’s plate and they were pretty good! And I just figured out that they had crème brûlée too? Damn, that’s what I get for taking off a few minutes early :(
Probably the best part of the evening was watching our two lovely hostesses handing out Unilocal name tags, working the room and handling this party like a boss! It’s a rare treat where all I have to do is show up with a little schwag and behave like a guest. I actually got to talk to Unilocalers that I hadn’t yet met before and not worry about any logistics, making announcements or talking to the venue to make sure they’re happy. Even Alex L brought his camera to snap official-​looking photos… It was by far the most official unofficial event in our community!
5-​stars, ladies! Can’t wait to see more UYE’s in the South Bay. Big or small, bring ‘em on!

I swore I’d never review a Unilocal event, but here it goes — at least this one was unofficial. Big props to Denise and Kevyne for organizing a great UYE at INDO, and to INDO for making it fantastic! Thank you also to Abby for showing up with Unilocal schwag and a big smile.
It was fun to meet some old Unilocal friends who I hadn’t met in person yet and see some I hadn’t seen lately. Great venue, terrific food, and lively music. I already love INDO (according to check-​ins, I am a «regular») and I knew some of my buddies would be there, so I had to go. Thanks for making it happen, D & K!

All these Unilocal events just keep getting better and better! Finally all the avatars I’ve been looking at for months came to life! So wonderful to see old and new friends via Unilocal at INDO! What a great venue for such a large turnout.
Denise and Kevyne, you ladies rock! I think the South Bay Unilocalers may have just won my heart back over! :) It takes a lot of time and effort to put something like this together! Thank you for doing such a great job at it. :)

I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.

Time to take a break from winery reviews to thank Denise and Kevyne for inviting me to such a nice Unilocal HH UYE event. I guess you needed someone to skew the average age up a bit but I’m happy to oblige. The three glasses of a good rose champagne, at a cheap price, along with Roti Prata, Chicken Satay and the fried tofu certainly hit the spot. I also got a few free apps and free dessert.
It was particularly cool to see my rhyming buddy Denise and other Unilocal friends Glenn G, Jennifer L., Anna R., our artsy and gorgeous CM Abby S. and compliment muse Cassandra E. Plus I met Denise’s partner in crime Kevyne and other new Unilocal friends like Dan B.
I almost gave this four stars because Emmalouise never said hello but then I remembered how rude those Brits can be ;) (Just kidding)
Nice job D & K!

#112. My first UYE! I was previously here for a YEE, so it was good to come back and try INDO again.
Selected appetizers and drinks are $ 5 during happy hour. I tried the Passionfruit Caipirinha (
), which was amazing. Fairly strong, but it wasn’t reflected on me! That’s a first. I also tried the crispy calamari and the chicken satay. Can’t go wrong with the chicken satay. The best part for me was the crème brûlée. Mmm. So bad but so good!
The servers here are amazing. They check up on you consistently and make sure you’re having a great time. Thanks, INDO!
Big kudos to Denise and Kevyne for hosting this UYE! Good food, great venue, awesome turnout. Success!

I was so excited for this UYE! Thank you Denise & Kevyne for being our amazing hostesses! INDO’s HH is sure to become a new favorite for many (:
I don’t know if it was just me but INDO was kind of hidden! The sign blended in with the grey fencing so we looped around twice! It’s right on the intersection of El Camino Real & Lambert Avenue. although there’s a sign that says Hansen Way pointing the other direction right in front of INDO. Just gotta remember that for next time cause I’m definitely coming back!
I had the passionfruit caipirinha & took a sip of Alex L’s dark & stormy ($ 5 each). I liked mine better cause it’s sweeter (: The chili salt rim caught me by surprise, gave my drink a nice kick! I had finished my drink before we even ordered appetizers!
I got to sample two complimentary appetizers that night. one was a spring roll with a spicy hoisin sauce & the other was a samosa. Both were very good and on point! I like my food with some heat to it so I was happy. We ordered the roti prata & chicken satay off the HH menu ($ 5 each). The roti prata was flaky and there was a good amount while the yellow curry dipping sauce added some great flavor to it. The chicken satay was the winner in my book! Four skewers which had some peanut sauce on them with a side of pickled veggies, very delicious. The meat was nice and tender (:
There was a very good turnout at the event, I almost forgot it was a UYE! It’s always a pleasure to see familiar faces at events. not to mention matching up profiles to faces! INDO’s staff was super nice and accommodating. The owner came out several times to check on us, now that’s what I call amazing customer service! The night flew by & I enjoyed every moment of it. Thanks for hosting such a lovely night, ladies! I’ll be back to enjoy INDO’s HH (5−8PM) soon!

When my Unilocal playas Denise L (aka Honorary Slumdog) and Kevyne (aka Boob OO) told me they were having a UYE, I asked them one question: Are sure u want me to RSVP, cuz if I do there will be a trail of ladies RSVPing to this event… but they didn’t care, as they welcomed everybody to this Event with open arms!?!
Our CM Abby S was also in attendance and guess what, she didn’t have to work for once, she was a guest, and she just sat back and watched Denise/​Kevyne do their thing!
The drinks were nice and STIFF just like Kevyne likes it… The happy hour food was good and super cheap. We also got to try free samples of new menu items, you’z know I love’z me some free samples!
We had Alex L. taking glamour shots of all the playas throughout the night, we had our Southbay power couple Adam D and Janet OOOOOOOOOOO in the heezy… We had Cassandra E. & Anna R. decked out in their money makers getting all the fellas at Indo all hot and bothered!?!
I met a lot of new Unilocalers in person that I’ve stalked in the past from Daniel N.~~Ly D~~Janet N.~~Julie K.~~others who I can’t remember cuz I was super buzzed by the end of the night!
Overall I had a great time, it felt like an Elite Event cuz I got to wear a name tag, i got my drink on, there was good food, and lots of glamour shots with all my Unilocal playas!!!

Great event! Even though I showed up super late, I was still able to talk with a lot of great people and meet new friends.
Thanks to Kevyn and Denise for setting this up!

Once again another great Unilocal event, this time a UYE! Many thanks to Kevyne and Denise, along with INDO for doing a fabulous job!
[Food/​Drinks]
Happy Hour Menu! I personally love the:
Chicken Satay
Roti Prata
Garlic Frittes
Coconut Tapioca
Crème Brulee
Those Garlic Frittes are deadly, one bite and you’re sure to buy more. As for the drinks give, bomb as usual. I normally go for the Passion Fruit Caipirinha but this time I wanted to try something new so I got the Paloma and it was spot on.
[Service]
I’m a regular here at INDO so I know their service pretty well and they did a great job making our stay amazing. They provided that special care and friendly service we all love. Great job INDO!
[Fancy People]
Awesome people with that Unilocal Swag! Met some pretty darn amazing people and I couldn’t be more happy. It’s always great putting an actual face to the profile, and wow y’all look SPLENDID! I’m also happy to see some familiar Unilocalers again, always a pleasure.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — -
Overall the event was a perfect success, a lot of Unilocalers from all over showed up. Must of been 50+ Unilocalers all having a great time. If you ever get the chance to go to an Event hosted by Denise or Kevyne, do it! You’ll sure to have a great time and many laughs (and drinks of course!)

The wifey and I missed the YEE at INDO in March. Sadness. But not to worry, because Denise L and Kevyne R just couldn’t get enough INDO, so they arranged a UYE here! My first UYE!
The INDO staff were super chill and made sure we had everything we needed. I enjoyed my Pear and Ginger Mule (Pear vodka, ginger syrup, lime and soda), and the wife her Paloma (Tequila, grapefruit, lime, agave). And man, those drinks were STRONG! Two sips in and I was already red-​faced… usually it takes way more than that for me to start feeling anything!
The staff kept the freebies coming, but I didn’t see any of the free drinks that were advertised. Maybe it’s because we were at the back, and all the good stuff got taken by the people at the front. Oh well, hope you guys enjoyed your free drinks! Lol!
The $ 5 appetizers were all very enjoyable. We had the Roti Prata (grilled flatbread with yellow curry), Garlic Frites (Kaffir lime aioli and galangal cocktail sauce), and Murtabak (stuffed roti with spiced beef, served on a bed of pickled onions with yellow curry).
We particularly enjoyed the free crème brûlée and the kuih nagasari (coconut pudding) for dessert. And the waiter even hooked us up with extras!
Mad props to D & K for putting this sweet summer shindig together! It was great running into some familiar faces: Emma and Stephen B, Janet O, and Alex L. And new ones as well: Christine P, Dang N (remember to write that Unilocal review!), Alan D, Adam D (congrats on making Elite in only 2.5 months!), and Kenny P. Looking forward to seeing you guys at future events!
