The Clever Koi is an Asian-inspired kitchen & craft cocktail bar.
Best Deal – It Takes Two On Tuesday and Wednesday nights
Choose one noodle dish and one rice dish to share plus four beers for $40. Upgrade to four cocktails for an extra $10. Our favorite deal around!! For drinks we recommend the Bee’s Knees and Aviator and our favorite noodle dish is the Chow Mein. You MUST try their delicious house made sriracha. They are amazing and you can buy bottles to take home.

Other Recommended Gilbert Restaurants
The rest of Gilbert also has some amazing places to eat!! These are our favorites.
Cozy, colorful sushi bar & Japanese eatery, with a focus on specialty sushi rolls. Sit right at the bar if you can. IT great to chat with the chefs. We like it spicy so our favorites are the tuna poke (7 out of 10 for heat!), the Ginger Bomb roll (extra hot) and the Surprise Roll. You can order them even if they are not on the menu.

On the way to Sedona or the way back, be sure to make a detour to Jerome, AZ. It’s a perfect fit and an awesome little old mining town built on stilts on the side of a mountain. It makes for an even more scenic drive!
