My wife and I were looking for a new spot in Downtown Gilbert to celebrate our anniversary. What a great find Clever Koi turned out to be.We got there in time to still take advantage of Happy Hour. We tried several different menu items and they were all very good. The
portions were just right.
We had the Duck Fat Sriracha wings, the Pork Ramen, the Spicy Sriracha Noodles all off of the Happy Hour Menu. We also had the Kimchi Fried Rice and a Soft Shell Crab.
Everything (really everything!) we tried was very good. The wings were especially good. The spice was perfect and the sweet/hot combo was very nice. They give you a couple of jars of their house made Sriracha Sauces (one red and one green). These were also very good and gave each one of the noodle and rice dishes another flavor level.
Our server (Pedro) was excellent. Great service and very knowledgeable about all of the menu items and drinks. He recommended the Bees Knees for my wife and she loved it. He was very attentive without being overbearing.
We will definitely return (there are so many interesting menu items that we have to try) and recommend the Clever Koi.
We were surprised that they had only been open for three weeks. We did not experience any of the hiccups normally associated with a new restaurant. It felt like they had been open for years already.
