Clever Koi

"Casual dinning restaurant in the heart of Gilbert. Friendly service with nice ambiance. Happy available from open to 6 pm. I would recommend you to try pork belly and soft shell crab steamed buns. Pork ramen was good too. It’s a fusion style where they added kimchi to ramen and served with pork belly. I’m not very impressed with chicken katsu with Thai papaya salad. Chicken was dried. Thai salad is coleslaw with peanuts."

"I recently dined at Clever Koi in February 2024 and sampled several dishes. The dumplings / buns were a standout, and we particularly enjoyed the XO noodles, which were both surprising and delicious. The shaking beef was exceptionally juicy and flavorful. The spicy kimchi ramen with chicken broth was a hit for spice lovers. While the pork broth ramen (tonkatsu) and fried rice were decent, they didn’t stand out as much. The main course portions were generous and suitable for sharing between two people if starters are ordered. Overall, the pricing is fair for the portion sizes. The restaurant offers a trendy Asian fusion ambiance with decent food. I would definitely return, especially with a group of friends."

"I don't know what took us so long to come here! Everything was delicious; from the short rib dumplings, soft shell bao, katsu sandwich, calamari fries, banana fritters with red miso, and spicy kimchi ramen. We will be coming back soon."

"The restaurant is very pretty the service was good. But honestly, the food was a disappointment. The flavor was literally a bomb if randomness. And a very gross aftertaste. The seasons were not complimenting within the same dish at all and it just was not that good. We had the short rib dumplings (8/10) Chicken miso Ramen (5/10) And the fried rice (5/10) It was not the worst but definitely don't see myself choosing again."

"The food here is super mediocre at best. They advertise as a modern Asian restaurant, so I was willing to pay a little extra for to try it. Their entrees are 18$ minimum which is slightly on the expensive side and their margaritas are just lemon juice with a splash of alcohol. The Raman noodles tasted like instant Raman noodles which completely tuned me off, and their kimchi tasted plain and bland."
