I never considered buying a scuba mask at a restaurant before. Quirky and fun. I'll return in the future and already know which friend I'll invite to join me. Recommended.

They were both not too rich was awesome and they are able to make substitutions or exclusions if you ask. They have chili oil and all the yummy enhancements at the tables. The service was spotty. The layout makes it unclear if you order at the front or if you wait at your table. It is also unclear where to sit and if they will come check on you besides when they bring out the food. The ambiance had nothing special. It was a comfortable restaurant but there was no special music, anything special about the menus, tables, etc. Great little place to run in for a bite.

Q: Why did the hot pot break up with the broth? A: It…read morecouldn't handle the heat. Came here for Lunar New Year Day lunch. It had been dark and drizzling and hot pot sounded perfect. The two of us ordered two mini hot pots but fair warning, I think one mini hot pot is enough for two people, especially if you order some sides. We ordered siu mai (frozen) and their house-made spicy wontons. For the hot pot, we got one with a sha cha based and the other with the house spice blend. I really liked the House Spice Blend. Not a bad hot pot spot but I'm not sure I would be back given that there are other great places nearby that makes a good hot pot. Service here was attentive but sparse. The day we came, it seemed like there was only one server. I saw four people walk away after not being seated. I wish this place much success.

This is probably more of a 3.5 star rating. I came here on a double date on a Wednesday night. We…read morewere seated right away. A party in our group has a dairy allergy, so we did have to go back and forth with the server to confirm what can and cannot be eaten. It took a bit of time but the server was patient. Some things were good and some weren't. The mini hotpot was good. I got the mushroom broth and chose the chuck eye roll for the meat. It's a good enough of food and my husband and I ended up sharing it. We also liked the spicy cucumber salad. The spicy pork and shrimp dumplings were disappointing. I know I can't compare it to din tai fung but these were hard and undercooked. The pork and chive dumplings were pretty tasty. We got to try a pan fried bao and it was decent but not worth getting IMO. Our friend got the kimchi fried rice and said it was good. Portion is generous. It's hit or miss.

The noodles were great texture, the broth was super flavorful, and the sides were quite nice. I've been thinking about this meal every day since. It is a small spot, almost looks closed from the outside. There was just one server who appears to be the owner, and he was very nice and attentive. He checked in to make sure we knew how to eat the noodles properly and gently let us know when the kitchen and restaurant were closing. The croquettes were very nice, and I normally am not a huge fan of takoyaki but the octopus texture in these was nice and soft. There was not too much octopus in them though, so if that's important to you... :( Would definitely come back and probably order the exact same thing...

Very friendly service, cool vibe in this place…read more 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.

Let me start with a little tid bit about Downtown Gilbert. There is nothing really special about it…read moreoutside 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.

Nope, so she got our drink order & promised our actual server would be there shortly. Tori was zooming around with piles on her serving tray, smile on her face. Came back to say, "you know what, let me take your order!" She gave us the walk-thru on the menu. Everything came out in great time! My long Island was the right kind of strong, the sushi sampler was fresh, the chicken lettuce wraps-FLAVORFUL, & our main courses had great portions! Miso salmon was perfection!
