    I absolutely love Clever Koi. This is one of those local restaurants that makes you feel comfortable every-visit ! I was a little heart broken to see my favorite dish (szechuan catfish) has been removed from the menu. I was caught off guard and even shed a little tear because I'd been looking forward to it all week. Our amazing server Maryland gave me a recommendation and it was a good dish, but I still craved the catfish.

    Wonderful experience! Everything about Clever Koi works, and works well. We were greeted upon entering the restaurant and really liked the vibe. We started with drinks and the bartender recommended a cold sake after apologizing for not having the one I usually drink, and it was the perfect fit. We shared an order of the calamari fries which were simply out of this world, with a sauce drizzled over. My husband ordered the Chow Mein with Bulgogi steak; I had the XO Noodles, which had shrimp, scallops and pork belly with vegetables. Both were delicious, but the XO Noodles were a bit spicy for me, so my husband and I switched entrees and we both were happier. Portion sizes are good, service excellent and great vibes means we will definitely return! Thank you so much.

    Service was great, and I loved the new drink menu they have. All four cocktails we tried were excellent. Food was delicious as always too. One of my favorite spots in Phoenix.
