    The Kazu
    Michael T.

    We were in the area for a medical appointment on nearby Boston St., and happened upon this eatery for lunch. We will be back for sure! The food was very good, as was the table service. The dishes came out quickly, even though there quite a few other customers at the time. We thought that the broth for one of the bowls was just a tad too salty, but otherwise we were very pleased with the taste and look of everything. If you are looking for ramen in the Gilbert area, this is where you should go.

    Easy to find with plenty of parking. We arrived for an early dinner and seated within 5 minutes. Staff was friendly and clean environment. We ordered the gyoza which was just how I like them. Very authentic in flavor; then the chicken karaage which was perfectly moist, crispy and served with a side salad; next up was the tonkatsu ramen. I admit at first glance the broth looked more milky than the rich broth/cream I've had before. But, don't let that fool you. It was tastier than I thought it would be. The noodles were nice and chewy and yummy. My only comment is that it could be served a bit hotter. Other than that, I had a great experience and will return.

    My husband and I were craving ramen one weeknight. We usually go to downtown Chandler for ramen, but decided to give Kazu Ramen a try, especially since it's much closer. We were greeted upon entering and seated right away. The restaurant isn't large, but has ample seating indoor. We shared an order of edamame to start then both ordered a veggie ramen for our entrees. It comes with veggie broth with tofu (fried or soft), bean sprout, seaweed, corn, seasoned egg served with kale noodle, and topped with green onions. We were pleasantly surprised by how tasty the veggie ramen was. It was creamy, but not thick and we loved that it came with a good portion of tofu as well as (half of) a seasoned egg. The egg is usually add on at most places. We enjoyed it so much we ordered it again a few weeks later!

    I've lived right down the street for the past five years and can't believe this was my first time coming in. From the moment we walked in, the staff was amazing and so friendly, kind, and attentive. We were acknowledged right away, seated quickly, and felt well taken care of the entire time. Our server was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, especially since my daughter has a severe shrimp and shellfish allergy. They took it seriously, answered all of our questions, and made sure we could both order off the menu with no issues, which meant a lot to us. The place was bustling and full of people, but service was still quick and efficient. We ordered different bowls with different noodles and meats, and everything was delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meats were cooked perfectly. I'm still not sure if ramen is my go-to food in general, but I would absolutely come back here and enjoy a nice, warm bowl again. Great experience!

    We enjoyed ramen at this location and were really impressed--especially with the chicken broth. Since we no longer eat pork, we usually expect to sacrifice some richness when substituting pork broth for chicken or veggie, but this place did not disappoint. The chicken broth was savory, flavorful, and surprisingly rich, and all of the chicken options were excellent. The ramen was super tasty overall. If I had one suggestion, it would be regarding the shrimp tempura: the shrimp could be a bit larger and the coating a little lighter. The batter tends to hold onto grease, so when you bite into it, you mainly taste the oil. That said, everything else was phenomenal. The karaage was also very good and well-seasoned. We would definitely come back, especially for the chicken-based ramen options. Roicia

    My friends and I were craving ramen on Monday night and we headed over to Kazu Ramen since it was the closest to us. It most definitely satisfied our craving. I ordered their Kazu Ramen. It was sooo yummy with the perfect little kick of spice. I also loved that the broth was extremely warm... just how I like it! Next time I definitely need to check out other menu items. The service was great, quick and friendly, as well as the cleanliness. Definitely a great local spot when I don't feel like driving too far for Ramen.

    2nd favorite ramen in Arizona Bomb.com broth and the service was great. Definitely best ramen in Gilbert area. The order also came out very very quickly.

    Stopped in around 6:30 PM on a Saturday. Despite the crowd, the estimated 15-minute wait was spot on. Our drink order was taken promptly, and we enjoyed the Teriyaki Salmon and Kazu Ramen. The salmon was a great new choice for me, and the ginger salad dressing was amazing. Everything was served hot and fresh. The only downside was the California roll we ordered to-go; it had a very fishy taste, likely from being prepared on a surface used for raw fish. Overall, it was a great experience with delicious food and excellent service. We'll be back soon!"

    Some of the best pork belly I've had! The Tonkatsu ramen was great! The service as fast and attentive! The restaurant was clean and comfortable!

    This place is bomb. The lighting is a little harsh but that's barely a complaint. The food is good, the sake is good, the value is good, and it's totally kid friendly.

    Kazu Ramen & Chicken Karaage
    Jennifer A.

    We went here after going to the mint market which is pretty far from where we usually are. We saw the ramen spot and decided to go. We have no regrets, the food was absolutely amazing. We decided to get the chicken kaarage and the kazu ramen. The ramen had chashu as well as grilled chicken, the chicken was so delicious, it had so much flavor and eating it with the spicy pork broth made it 10x better. The chicken kaarage was also very tasty but I feel like it lacked flavor. Adding the spicy mayo it came with did make it better but I still feel like having that extra flavor would've made it perfect. The restaurant itself was a cute little space but it was very clean. There was enough space between each table which is always good. Our server seemed like a shy person but she was so friendly and attentive with us. She made us feel welcomed. If we're ever out there again, we will definitely be coming back.

    I'm sorry, but after reading all of the reviews and looking forward to my first visit here, I have to say I was a little disappointed! First of all, the service was very slow, one server staffed. The inside isn't to large of a space, yet many empty tables during the time frame my daughter and I came in which was well after their lunchtime. The menu is fairly basic & straight forward..Thought on the pricey side for what they offer. Decided on the takoyaki appetizer and it was kinda bland, not much flavor or octopus. Too bad, we were so excited to try it. I had the avacado roll which was ok, but you can't really mess up avacado wrapped in a rice roll! My daughter had their spicy tuna bowl which was probably the best thing ordered. The food was average, nothing special.

    Hubby and I were looking for a quick bite to eat near the mall and found this ramen spot right down the street. The service was amazing. Our server was attentive and sweet. The meal arrived quickly which was good since we were borderline hangry! The ramen was really good. I loved the spicy broth! It was the first time trying the ribeye, egg, and rice dish. It had a touch of unexpected sweet savory. We would definitely return. The dining area is small so I could imagine it getting crowded during lunch or on the weekends. Plan accordingly!

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.

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!
