Ramen Restaurants near Laveen Village, AZ

“I liked the takoyaki, as the octopus avoided that rubbery or foul texture that I have had before at other establishments. I was about to give up on takoyaki until I had these ones. The bonito flakes they used were excellent. I also liked the gyoza, and you can add it as a topping for your ramen.

As for the ramen, I found that it was a good value for the experience. I liked the toppings. The flavor of the tonkotsu ramen was good, but I don't have many experiences with restaurant quality ramen to compare it to. I wish they had had the udon noodles in stock to add to my ramen. I ended up feeling unwell later, but that was probably my fault for drinking all the broth. I don't think I was supposed to do that because of the salt and oil content in ramen.

I liked the decor of the restaurant, and the lighting level was good(some restaurants struggle with keeping the place adequately illuminated, but not this place). I think that I interrupted the staff in the middle of cleaning, and they had a trash bag in the aisle between the dining area and the kitchen they then had to step over or on to get past it. I would have been fine waiting for them to pick it up, which they ended up doing once the rush had died down.

The service was good, and I noticed that, for the pick-up customers that came in while I was dining, the orders were ready on time and these customers did not have to wait.

I know this review isn't stellar, but I wanted to submit my feedback so that they can bridge the gap between my experience and the 5 star experience I am sure they are capable of. I also don't want my review to dissuade anyone else from visiting this establishment. I am glad to see more ramen joints opening throughout the valley. I may go back someday.“

“Cute place and quick service“

“So we had a wonderful experience tonight at Clever Koi The staff was friendly, the wait was short, the ambiance was perfect, the waitress Ash was delightful and great at her job We accidentally ordered a couple items wrong misunderstanding the pricing but they comped it which was not expected but appreciated We absolutely loved the Ramen, the steamed buns & the Vegetarian Chow Mein The Ramen bowls are huge! The mushrooms were my favorite thing We bought two bottles of their house made Sriracha sauce Overall best experience anywhere in a long time! Complete opposite experience than Jobot Coffee & Bar“
