“ Sophisticated dining experience with a clever menu! Food was attractive and delicious. Highlights were the lettuce wraps and beautifully plated mushroom appetizers. Fried calamari was tender and lightly flavored. Pork ramen soup was good with yummy chewy noodles & plenty of broth in a huge bowl. Wait staff was professional and helpful. Restrooms were clean & tidy. A bit pricey, but overall a fun & relaxed dining experience for our special occasion meal! ”
“ Their bartender named Bacon is a boss. If you’re a cocktail enthusiast, you will not be disappointed. He even takes special requests. I once gave him a flavor profile I was interested in, and he made me a custom drink that was out-of-this-world good! They have a long list of classic cocktails plus special house made cocktails, that are excellent, with many ingredients made from scratch. Service was fantastic. And food was good too. Would definitely recommend their short rib dumplings, calamari fries, and orange chicken. ”
“ It’s been a little over a year since we’ve dined at Clever Koi and we won’t be waiting that long to come back. We tried a few new menu items and a few of the CK staples. The Krazy fries are a MUST. They were packed with flavor and so crispy. The steamed buns are a classic, along with the pork belly ramen! We also enjoyed the chow mein with Karaage chicken and it was delicious. Also you can’t miss their happy hour cocktails! (4-6pm) ”
“ We can’t believe it took us so long to find this place! Great atmosphere & our server was excellent. Ordered the hot chicken, pork belly, & soft shell crab steamed buns to start. Phenomenal flavors & the best steamed buns we’ve ever had. The Katsu chicken sandwich w/ Thai salad was delightful & each bite was so flavorful I didn’t want it to end. We’ll definitely be coming back here again! ”
“ Manager addressed an issue i had with my online order, no questions asked. Food was phenomenal, Drinks are excellent and the service absolutely matches the food quality. I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could. Food: duck ramen, chilled sesame noodles with crispy chicken, hot chicken bun. 10/10 Drink: Pink Cashmere (dethroned my previous all time favorite drink) 11/10 Will be returning as soon as possible ”
“ Second time to this restaurant, enjoyed our dinner here. We’re ordered Pork Ramen and XO noodles . Our waitress was attentive and welcoming. She taking care of us and make our dinner enjoyable. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. One of our place to go in Downtown Gilbert. ”
“ Run to this spot as fast as you can! Set aside two hours for an experience with the food and drinks. Sit at the bar and enjoy their bartender Bacon. Top notch! Hats off to the chefs! ”
“ Walked in hungry. Left fat, dumb, and happy! The host greeted us like we were VIPs at a noodle nightclub. Our waiter? A flavor Jedi. Guided us through the menu like we were on a food spirit quest. I got the Seafood Hot Plate. That broth? Straight-up sriracha oceanic poetry. The noodles hugged my soul. The shrimp and calamari made me question every life decision I've made that didn't involve them. My girlfriend got the Pork Tonkotsu Ramen. I tasted it. Almost proposed to her and the bowl. And the buns? Lord help me. Who doesn't love some hot--steamy buns? Big, juicy, put them in my face buns. Those let me smell them before I taste them moist fluffy buns! Three pillowy pockets of perfection: Pork Belly, Hot Chicken, and Kimchi Cauliflower. Cocktails? Anime-level dramatic. Sipped one and felt emotionally prepared to fight a dragon or my work group text thread. Moody lighting, cozy vibes, sexy broth steam--it's an amazing time waiting to happen. Come for the buns. Stay for the broth. Leave fat, dumb, and happy! Highly recommend ”
