Very friendly service, cool vibe in this place. 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. We then splurged on the salted caramel gelato. read more

Food was nothing to write home about. The pornstar martini tasted watery? kimchi carbonara was just sour and didn't taste like kimchi. Chow mien was a little dry. The buns from the steam buns were very pillowy. I love the vibe and the service was nice. read more

Food is consistently excellent, staff friendly and helpful good date night spot where you can carry on a conversation

Weather was perfect for ramen so we went to our favorite spot. Clever Koi is our go-to for tasty drinks and food. They had a bao special going where the Sonoran Bun was bao, filled with spam, beans, cotija, pico, and avocado, super tasty. I had the Midnight Oni Highball which is a favorite cocktail with whisky, plum whiskey and a plum cordial with club soda, super tasty. The ramen always hits the spot. Delicious tonkatsu pork broth with noodles, lots of tasty pork belly, mushroom, soft egg. Scallions, bean sprouts and of course ramen noodles. Just the thing for chilly weather. Service is always friendly and attentive, you can't go wrong! Highly recommended. read more

This may not be a super authentic/traditional Japanese joint, but the flavors of the food we ordered was delicious! I came here with my boyfriend for lunch on a Sunday morning and we had a great time. We were able to find parking in a nearby garage, but there is also decent lot parking outside the restaurant. When you walk in, there is outdoor patio seating, bar seating, as well as indoor seating. We were greeted and seated very quickly, and our waiter was attentive and gave great recommendations. It is fairly large, with Asian-inspired/Japanese-inspired decor. It was also decorated for Halloween, which was very cute and there is one tv near the bar that was playing a sports game. I wasn't too hungry but my boyfriend ordered the Thai tea and the chicken katsu sandwich while I ordered the cauliflower kimchi bao (one bao was around $7). His Thai tea was good, but definitely not as strong as I'm used to. The chicken katsu sandwiches were also decent, but the chicken katsu itself was more toasty and dark brown instead of the classic golden katsu that I am used to. The fries that it came with, however, were out of this world! My bao was also very impressive - I loved the texture of the bao and the flavor of the cauliflower kimchi was subtle but the perfect blend. We would love to come by on a Saturday night, as the vibes really sold us on this place! read more

Was in the area for work and stopped in since I have never been to this location. I sat at the bar love that happy hour is on weekends also. I got the special bun which was called southern something it had friend chicken and a pork belly gravy so good. The crab avocado rangoons was really good also. The bar service was great and attentive. This location is larger than the central location. read more

So sad to leave this review as I love the name, and both service and the vibe of this restaurant is great. Where they completely fail is the taste of the food. We ordered 3 bao buns- 3 for $18 or $7 each. We ordered 2 pork belly and 1 shrimp. I was really looking forward to it but as soon as I bit into the pork belly bun, I realized it was not edible. It was extremely tough and I just could not chew through it. The shrimp bun was ok, but it only had 1 small piece of shrimp and it didn't have much flavor. We also ordered the chicken katsu sandwich with fries. The fries were very good but the sandwich was extremely underwhelming. It didn't taste like anything?? Hubby even made a comment about how it was possible to take the flavor out of chicken? This restaurant has so much potential but their food needs a serious overhaul. It's like they don't even know about the basic flavor composition of Asian food!The concept is great but the execution is so far from being an Asian fusion restaurant. read more

Great food and the service is so great! The restaurant's ambiance is so nice -- especially when the sun sets. We got the avocado crab Rangoons, kimchi carbonara and lemongrass fried rice.

Food and drinks were great! Our table got a lot of different dishes and drinks so we could as many as we could. I personally got the kimchi carbonara and two drinks, the Zenitsu Zour and the Sunburst. Both were great, but I liked the zour the most. The carbonara was also really good, and pairs well with the alcohol. The other dishes were also extremely delicious, though some of the Thai tea drinks tasted interesting, not bad, but just not something I enjoyed. Great interior and great service. This place is great if you want a bit of a nicer dinner night, as the dishes and drinks are a bit more on the expensive side. read more

Clever Koi, you Koi-mplete me. Feeling koi-ful today! We ordered two trios of baos (mine with pork belly, kimchi tempura cauliflower, and the featured steamed bun of fried shrimp), duck ramen, and a golden myth cocktail. Did we over-order? We sure did! The portions here are generous. Share a trio of baos, share the ramen, but don't share your cocktails because they're seriously good. I really enjoyed all my baos and I think these baos are definitely worth ordering. Each version was interesting and delicious. I especially liked the kimchi tempura cauliflower. As for my duck ramen, as much as I like duck, I found my ramen to be super rich. It was thick, packed full of sodium, and lacked a certain balance. I mainly ordered the ramen because our waiter spoke highly of their ramen, even saying that they're known for it. I do want to rty their other noodle dishes though. All in all, I had an amazing time here! The vibes were vibin' and the interior is just completely gorgeous. In a world full of fish, be a koi. read more

Let me start with a little tid bit about Downtown Gilbert. There is nothing really special about it outside of the vibe is right. Always a lot of people there so it makes you want to be there. Restaurant wise they have really basic offerings. Places you can find in Mesa, and Tempe, and Scottsdale. Now.... What truly makes Downtown Gilbert special are the small shops that are hidden away from the "main strip". One of those places is Clever Koi. Hidden in the Parking lot space behind Shaq's Chicken spot is a small strip of shops. A book store, smoothie place, and my favorite Clever Koi. Our family has very different tastes when we move from one member to the next. So finding places that we all like gets tricky. Clever Koi makes that easy because we honestly have yet to run into something we don't like. Let's start with our favorite starter. The steamed buns (giggity). The pork belly is hands down phenomenal. An amazing bite that literally makes you want more and more. The lazy fries are just that, again pork belly is included, but that garlic aioli is what drives this dish. The tai salad is obviously classic. The short rib dumplings literally make you close your eyes and just say "Mmmmmm". My middle child is the hardest pallet to please at any restaurant as he only eats certain things, but the Chicken Katsu sandwich here is his second favorite chicken sandwich in all this world. The first time he ate it he spent the whole ride home raving about it. Mind you, we live in San Tan, so not a short ride. The shaking beef is always good. It has this firey kick that brings the heat upfront but does not linger. You cannot forget about the fried rice here. Rice is one of my weaknesses in life second only to pizza. Fried rice ranks right up there with my top favorite ways to eat rice and this ranks right up there with my favorite fried rice places. The main reason we come here is because of the noodles. Ramen, ramen, ramen. When you think of Ramen, I assure you this is what you are thinking of. The broth is oh so savory and reigns in the fresh veggies and proteins to meld them with the noodles for a flavor punch each time you have a mouthful. They have great drinks here as well, or so I've been told by the other adults I come here with. I always just get a sake and Sapporo so... LOL The service is always good here and we somehow always manage to miss the lunch or dinner rush which is awesome. All in all... this is by far my favorite dining spot in downtown Gilbert. Great food, great drinks, great service, great atmosphere, in the middle of a great little square. A must eat for me. read more

I was first introduced to Clever Koi at a prior Yelp event and my first experience was a pleasant one and I wanted to give it another visit. They're located near a parking garage so parking wasn't an issue. We were able to make a reservation for 7:45 pm dinner. We were seated promptly. The atmosphere gives off a cozy, warm and inviting atmosphere. Shortly after being seated we were provided with water and greeted by our friendly server. He was knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations. On this visit we ordered 3 of their steamed buns (2 pork bellies and 1 featured steam bun). We also shared their orange chicken and chilled sesame noodles. All the dishes were fantastic and full of flavor. I also ordered one of their ube'be pina colada mocktail which was also delicious. My nine year old stepson was also with us. He ordered their fried rice and pork belly Raman. The portions were generous, but not full of a ton of flavor. Overall a great place for dinner and would visit again. read more

How did I miss this place for so long! You gotta have this on your list of restaurants in downtown Gilbert. Located near the garage this place is a fresh take on Asian restaurant. They have bao buns, ramen, drunken noodles. So it caters to all your likings. Their cartoon drink menu is a highlight and the cocktail selection is endless. To start off with I went with long thailand, crab dumplings and assorted bao buns with chicken, pork and kimchi. The drink was absolutely yummy and was delightfully good. The crab dumplings were delicious, crispy and flavorful. My favorite were the bao buns, all were excellent and I could just eat them all day. I tried the vegan ramen, which was decent and the tofu was the highlight, it was grilled and had a good texture. Overall an awesome experience with exceptional service. The ambiance is chic and modern. I'll be back soon! read more

Transport yourself to a city from-scratch Asian restaurant with a plethora of handmade cocktails and an upscale warm, inviting vibe. This is Clever Koi. Our server Maya was incredible and extremely knowledgeable on all dishes, drinks, and so many details of the restaurant! I've never had this good of service anywhere! My wife and I had the Pad See Ew with the braised chicken thigh which was INCREDIBLE. Perfectly chewy noodles, great seasoning. I highly recommend adding some of the homemade Fresno chile sriracha for a kick! The pork ramen was also very delicious. Be warned it's a lot of pork! My wife preferred it with the green jalapeño sriracha. The drinks were also very unique and delicious! A sideline view for me and riding the line for my wife. Oh and the best part was the dessert Bananas foster hush puppy puffs. These were so unique, seasoned with cinnamon sugar and Chinese 5 spice. It took some getting used to but the more you ate it with the Carmel toffee sauce the more I enjoyed it. All in all I can see why people love this place! It's a 5 star restaurant for a 3 star price! If you're looking to expand your flavor palette and have a wonderful evening I can't recommend Clever Koi enough! read more

Following up on a recent Yelp Elite Week visit to Clever Koi in Gilbert, took my daughter and her fiancée there for dinner. Despite living in Gilbert and frequently dining in Gilbert heritage district, they had never been. Great visit. Had reservation, but probably didn't need it on weeknight at 6 pm. I just want to ensure we had an inside table for Luna since it was 104' out. Promptly seated and then visited by our server who explained the Clever Koi unique vibe (Asian food representing dishes from the whole area) and then the very inventive craft cocktail menu. I love it. We started with some the Shrimp Shoyu taco's, and the moved into an order of steamed buns. Then it was entree time while I enjoyed my very tasty and unique Golden Myth cocktail. Having worked and lived around Asia, I can say the dishes are a pretty darn good representation of the originals. We sampled the Pad See Ew with pork belly; the Chow Mein with bulgogi; and the Drunken Noodles with bulgogi. Service was nice, several servers teamed up on our table and the bartender even came out with our cocktails and said both Phoenix area Clever Koi locations were going to be developing their own unique cocktail list (they currently share the list). Coolio. I'll drop in for a happy hour cocktail just by itself. They really are a star of the Clever Koi experience. In addition to Golden Myth, we tried the Kanagawa's Great Wave and the String of Pearls cocktails. All three were refreshing and unique. Nice outdoor, shaded patio with misting fans will keep you cool as a cucumber if at height on summer heat. Everything was about $50 pp with appetizer, craft cocktail and entree ex tax and tip. I think a pretty good value. Both my daughter and her fiancée loved it. The reputation deservedly grows read more

This is one of my favorite Asian fusion restaurants. Controversial but they have the best ramen in town. We had the calamari friend for an app and the dumplings and they were soooo good. We usually ge the crazy fries but this was a good switch up and we were not disappointed. We always end up with the pork belly ramen- it is FIRE and a must try! We also had the orange chicken and rice which had such good flavors as well. The bartenders are always super friendly and make such bomb drinks. This place is an 11/10 in my book. read more

Absolutely LOVED the vibe here. I walked by when they were closed, peeked inside, and knew I wanted to come back. They are also on InKind, so I got a great discount through the app! The vibes are really cool. They had fun Halloween decor up that made it really fun without being too cheesy. They seem to be super busy so I would recommend a reservation. We walked in without one and were able to get a table, but it was the last one. I am gluten free and pescatarian and our waitress checked on a few things for me to be sure I was able to eat whatever I was ordering. I ended up getting the drunken noodles with shrimp since the tofu has soy sauce here. They were SO SPICY! Probably the spiciest thing I have ever eaten. Yes, it does mention chili oil on the menu, but it was practically inedible it was so spicy and I do not feel like the menu adequately warned me. They are known for cocktails but the menu is overwhelming, so I asked my server for recs. I told her I like an acidic drink with some fruit but not a lot of sweetness and she recommended a margarita....I know I like margs, I did not need that recommendation. I let her know I was more interested in one of their 20+ signature cocktails and she didn't have any guidance. The chairs here are also kind of gross. They are all completely peeling. Parts of the seat of the chair were falling off and peeling a ton. We even saw a table that had a completely peeled off chair. Fun spot, great cocktails, but I think they need new chairs and a better indication of spice level on the menu. read more

My partner and I like to consider ourselves foodies, and this place is one of our absolute favorites! Their cocktails are very unique and light and refreshing, which is something I love. Their short rib dumplings are one of the best things I have ever had. Honorable mention for their Boa buns and all of their noodle dishes because they are truly fantastic. Each server we have had here has been notably amazing and we will definitely be back. read more

I had not been here in years. But I wanted to eat their steamed buns. The ramen is supposed to be good but I was craving the buns. I got 2 pork and one chicken. The pork belly was excellent! Crispy and delicious. With peanuts and cucumbers. I asked for the cilantro to be removed because I don't like cilantro. The hot chicken was delicious too. My server Eric was great. Brought water without asking for it and checked in with me a couple of times. The restaurant is spacious and was empty for lunch on a Sunday. There's a nice patio area to sit outside too read more

Hubby and I checked out Clever Koi for date night for the first time last night and were not disappointed! Our server Maya did an excellent job making some recommendations and was so nice and attentive! We started with the avocado rangoons and a trio of steamed buns. The rangoons were super crispy and full of flavor and the pineapple chili sauce and hot mustard were perfect compliments. We were even dipping the cabbage garnish in the pineapple sauce, we couldn't get enough! For the steam buns we went with the tempura cauliflower, the pork belly, and the seasonal catfish. The cauliflower had a great texture and the sauce was delicious, just a little hard to eat as it's one big, round piece of cauliflower in an oval shaped bun so some bites are all bun and others is a big bite of just cauliflower. The pork belly was delicious and flavorful and the hoisin sauce and peanuts were a great addition. Lastly the catfish was perfectly done and the yuzu aioli on top was *chefs kiss*. For entrees I went with the tonkatsu ramen and hubby had the miso chicken ramen. Both were delicious. The broths were phenomenal and the toppings plentiful. Our noodles were just a little under done so a little chewy still and my soft egg was covered in a goopy, almost still translucent egg white. I'm all for a jammy egg but I just prefer the egg white a smidge more cooked/firm. Overall, a great meal with great service inside a beautifully designed dining room. The decor is very pretty with flowers and lanterns artfully placed and good music for the perfect vibe for date night or gathering with friends. read more

We came here on a Saturday evening with no reservation, and the weather was pretty nice so we opted for a table outside on the patio. There is plenty of parking in the parking garage just a short walk away. We were seated right away and our server introduced himself shortly afterwards. We ordered a couple cocktails from the cutest comic book inspired drink menu. They have a wide selection of drinks, so definitely take some time to read through it to find the one that suits your preference the best. We ordered all of our food with the intent to share so we can try more. We ordered a few appetizers and a couple entrees, and everything came out fairly quickly given it was a busy night. I highly recommend trying the house made sriracha sauces! They're not too spicy, but add a nice citrusy flavor to any dish you add it to. We were huge fans. Everything we ordered was good, however my only critique would be regarding the shaking beef. Being Vietnamese myself, I have had many shaking beef dishes in the past. The one here at Clever Koi was good, but it does not taste like what shaking beef should taste like. This dish is typically strong in garlic and mixed with onions and/or bell pepper, and the shaking beef we tried here did not taste like it should have, although it was still very tasty. Overall, I would come here again. The ambiance is nice and the servers were great, no major complaints on my end! read more

Great place for happy hour! Their HH cocktails did go up in price by a dollar but still a decent selection to choose from for 11.00. The cocktails posted were not on their HH menu (left) Riding the Pine and (right) Scarlet Sora. Both were our best cocktails of the night. There isn't a great selection of appetizers or starters on the HH menu but definitely yummy food that I have reviewed here before. read more

The food here was fine, but definitely not worth the price. I ordered the Chicken Katsu Sandwich, and for $18, it just didn't deliver. The portion size was fair--I had leftovers--but the sandwich was packed with more cabbage than chicken, which felt like a letdown. My wife got the XO noodles. If you're into strong, fish-forward flavors, you might enjoy them. Personally, I thought they were just okay. The scallops completely overpowered everything else, so it ended up tasting like a one-note bowl of fishy noodles. The bao were a mixed bag. The shrimp one had barely any filling (you can see it in the photos), but the pork belly and hot chicken baos were actually pretty solid. Overall, it feels like the place is relying more on its "upscale" image than on delivering standout flavors. You can tell they're using quality ingredients, but the execution was bland and forgettable. That said, the service was great--our waiter was friendly and attentive, and the patio was genuinely a nice spot to sit with a good vibe. But at these prices, I expected a lot more from the food. read more

Yummy place! My family and I came here to and tried many different dishes. I have heard of the one in Phoenix and was excited to hear there was one opening up in Gilbert. The ambience is great, very modern and a good amount of seating. They have many different options for drinks and our server was helpful in suggesting options to us. We specifically ordered the Porn Star, Zenitsu Zour and the Scarlet Sora. Although the drinks took a hot minute to get to our table, they were delicious and we would definitley order them again. For appetizers, we ordered the Avocado Crab Rangoons and the Steamed Buns. Both were really tasty and didn't last long on the table. For dinner, we ordered an array of dishes. I personally had the Pork Ramen. It was good, however I would have prefered that it was creamy. The rest of the table ordered the Katsu Sandwich, Drunken Noodles, Shaking Beef and Chow Main. Everybody seemed to really enjoy it and took the leftovers home since they were great size portions. Overall we had a great time. The only thing I struggled with was the service being a little slower. Our server was great, but the drinks and our food took longer than expected. I know this very well could be a growing pain, so I will be back in the future! read more

I love this place so much. It's our go to place when we want to go out to eat, we've celebrated several special occasions here and every time the food and the service are 10/10. It's a really nice spot, not too loud and it's pretty inside and on the patio. Maya and Micah are the two servers we've had and genuinely both the sweetest, informative, and accommodating people. Also need to highlight - if you're a vegetarian this is the place. They don't just have one veg option that you have to go with they have like 7 that are insanely good. It's so nice to go to a restaurant and actually be able to choose between more than 1 or 2 entrees. They have great vegetarian appetizers too. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant! read more

I really recommend this if you were looking for a great fusion restaurant. To begin with the ambience is very chic lots of low lighting perfect for a date night. There is a long long, long list of cocktails to choose from even mock tails there's really no bad choice on them, but I do recommend the long Thailand, but one and you're definitely done. The menu has a variety of great Asian food to choose from everything from noodles to orange chicken. The servers are very friendly and do not hesitate to give you great recommendations. I do recommend making a reservation because they can get quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights. read more

We had dinner there this evening and it was overall a decent experience but I wouldn't return. Short rib dumplings: 2/5 Five steamed dumplings in broth. It came out at room temperature and we had to ask the kitchen to remake it. The second version was noticeably warmer but still not as hot as it should be. I think this dish has potential if they can figure out how to serve it hot. Krazy Fries: 4/5 Came out piping hot! Crispy fries covered with pieces of pork belly. I think the garlic aioli was a bit too heavy handed. Would recommend getting it on the side to preserve the crispness of the fries and pork belly. Chow mein: 3/5 Not sure why they call it chow mein when they use Japanese yakisoba noodles. This dish was tasty but nothing special. It came out hot but the noodles were a bit overcooked. Bulgogi steak (side): 2/5 We ordered bulgogi steak as an added protein to the chow mein. Our server said it would be sliced but it's not thinly sliced the way traditional bulgogi is. The steak was lukewarm and not very tender. It tasted nothing like bulgogi. Fried rice: 3/5 Also decent but nothing special. Came out hot which should be expected of all dishes but it seemed hit or miss here so I'm mentioning it. Orange chicken (side): 3/5 We ordered orange chicken as an added protein to the fried rice. It was four battered pieces coated in an orange glaze. It was hot but overcooked (the chicken was tough and stringy, not tender). Kids chicken karaage and French fries: 5/5 For $10, this was the best value and best executed dish of the evening. The chicken was hot and crispy and tender (not overcooked), and the French fries were very crispy and hot. I think this place is okay if you're not seeking authentic Asian cuisine and not picky about the temperature of your food. read more

This review is based specifically on our happy hour cocktail experience - I have eaten here before, many years ago and really did enjoy the experience, but it's been a so long, I can't really speak for it at this time, but based on our bar experience, imagine it would still be great! My husband and I were in the vicinity and thought we'd find a happy hour in the area. We really enjoyed our previous experience at Clever Koi, so thought we'd snag a seat at the bar for some beverages. At the time of this review they had a 4-6 Friday happy hour. They offer a couple bucks off of their appetizers and then offer $10 classic cocktails, which they have a nice selection of. Love the inside decor, very vibey and moody while still hovering nice light during the day, perfect option for a date night or have a nice dinner with friends or family. The bartenders were so friendly and on top of it, bringing us the menus promptly, along with water and asked if we had any questions. We only got the name of one of them, Kazton; but both of them were great. I ordered the Bees Knees, that came with a lavender touch and my husband got the Green Point. Both were delicious, perfectly balanced and hit the mark. My husband followed up with a recommendation,to follow his first cocktail (can't recall the name), from the bartender, which he really enjoyed. The food menu looked delicious and they had this kimchi burger as their special that sounded amazing, but alas, we had dinner plans. That being said, we will definitely be putting a pin in it for a a future visit to enjoy! read more

Hubs and I visited back on a weeknight in January. It was a chilly night and we were craving some warmth and ramen. We've heard great things about Clever Koi so we decided to give them a try. We arrived close to 8 pm and though there were other diners there, the place was not at all busy. We were greeted and seated right away. The space has a nice romantic vibe. We ordered the following: Korean fried mushrooms Calamari fries Vegan ramen + soft egg x2 The Korean fried mushrooms came with maitake mushrooms, daikon sprouts, red sriracha vinaigrette, and sesame seeds. They were very crunchy and tasty, especially with the vinaigrette! The calamari fries came with tempura calamari, mint, furikake, and yuzu aioli. Another tasty app. Hubs and I both ordered the same entree, vegan ramen with a soft egg. Though I appreciated the generous portion and amount of veggies (it was loaded!), I unfortunately did not love the flavor. I would have also preferred a creamier broth. I've heard their ramen is really good, so maybe I just ordered the wrong one. Nonetheless, we had a great experience and would definitely return. There's so much to try! read more
