Dragon King's Daughter is one of my go to restaurants when I can make their 3-5 happy hour. Only draw back is they don't sell liquor, so you have to be in the mood for wine, sake or beer. Also, given its all bottled beer and they don't offer anything along the lines of PBR or Miller Lite, even with the happy hour prices the drinks aren't super cheap. However, the food is so absurdly cheap during happy hours that it makes up for it, and the (small, but rarely full) patio is a great place to sit on a warm summer night.
Here is a re post of an article I already wrote for examiner.
The only thing better than happy hour : two happy hours in one day. At Dragon King's Daughter on Bardstown Road and Ellwood Avenue in the Highlands, this glorious phenomenon happens six days a week from 3-5pm and again from 10pm-12am (they close at 10pm on Sunday).
Similar in quality and price to its sister restaurant Maido on Frankfort Ave, Dragon King's Daughter veers slightly from Maido's strictly Japanese menu to offer, according to its website, "an eclectic fusion of Japanese and American fare." Here, eclectic means tacos and pizza to compliment your Makizushi, but by "taco" DKD is referring to options like tuna teriyaki with wasabi sour cream and by "pizza" they mean smoked salmon with wasabi-cream cheese sauce on flat bread.
All three - sushi, tacos, and pizza - are offered on the cheap during the early happy hour. While the late-night deals are reserved for sushi rolls, about quadruple the amount are offered the second time around and you can still get pizzas and snacks starting at $5 and $2.50 respectively, all day and night.
What about drinks? The 3-5pm has discounted wine, beer and sake. 10pm-12am offers select $10 bottles of wine. The only con: No liquor, no draft beers. Here's the Details:
3pm - 5pm:
* $1 off beers, $2 off glasses of wine, $5 off bottles of wine, 1/2 off hot sake, $3 off cold sake
* Half pizzas (all you'll need) $5, Tacos $2 each, Sushi from $3-$5.
10pm - 12am:
* $10 select bottles of wine
* 25+ varieties of sushi rolls from $3 to $11
