13 Best Japanese Restaurants in Gilbert

“We enjoy the food they have offer here ! A friendly environment“

“Impeccable food, service, prices, and ambience. A great selection of appetizers, entrees, sushi, vegetarian options, and dessert. I have eaten here several times, and every experience has been great! Best Japanese Restaurant in the East Valley!“

“Just found this place yesterday and I’ve already gone twice! From the outside it doesn’t seem like much and the inside has been empty each time we’ve gone, but the workers were patient and so kind and the food is absolutely amazing! Fresh made sushi, tender chicken and steak, delicious fried rice! Even the pork gyoza and cheese wonton appetizers were delicious! I highly recommend!!! This will definitely be one of the places I frequent!“

I have been coming to Temari for 15 years. Danny and Saki feel like family. They made this place the best sushi place in the valley, in my opinion. When I heard they sold, it was like a gut punch. I was mad, angry, sad.. a lot of emotion for a sushi place. LOL I read some new reviews and vowed no more Temari for me.... But, I felt I should I give it a fair shot... I am so so so glad I did..

First thing I noticed is hwo bright and clean the place is. It looks bigger. It is bright, airy, open, and not so dark. I like that change.

The bathrooms are bright and clean!

The service was great. We LOVED our old servers but lets admit it was not very attentive. The place was packed on Saturday night and our servers was great- friendly, kind, and attentive.

We spoke with the new owner-Jinsu- many times and he was great.

Now to the important stuff- the food:

I will start with my truly only negative- The staple of Temari is the Primo Roll. They have made it spicier- almost too spicy. It was good, mind you, but I want my original primo, drowning is sauces, mild taste. This was upsetting, but,again, the new Primo was very good..just not the Primo.. :(

White dragon- amazing- Less eel flakes on top which allowed the fish to be the hero. It was also less smoky. This was delicious and for my favorite roll, I am very happy.

Amazing Grace was clean and fresh and well balanced.

My wife loved the new Salmon pepper- seemed cleaner and crisper. She wanted a second roll, but we had just finished 7. :)

Las Vegas- delicious- less breading, more fish, less crispy- more like a soft shell crab. A fantastic roll- Far less sauce which allows fish to come through

Pretty in Pink- still a sweet favortite but without the pink flakes I could taste the delicious fish.

Hamachi- was absolutely amazing!! Fantastic..

Overall we really enjoyed the New Temari. Instead of comparing, I think we will close the book on Danny and Saki's Temari which brought us so much joy and delicious food over the years. We look back fondly on it and wish Saki and Danny nothing but the absolute best- Thank you both for bringing such delicious sushi and joy to our lives.

Now, we open a new chapter with Jinsu's Temari- which from our first visit could our sushi place for the next 15 years!“

“Food was excellent and the service o Impeccable. We will be returning.“

“There’s a reason they’ve been here since 2013. Prices are very reasonable and their meat quality is excellent. It reminds me of a local owned mom and pop Benihana on a smaller scale. Flavors are great and the tuna quality was really up there. Especially for the price.“

“The spicy tuna bowl was fresh and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. The yellowtail nigiri was buttery and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The shrimp noodles were flavorful and cooked perfectly. Everything tasted high quality and beautifully prepared. I'll definitely be back!“

“The food is always great every time I go here. My boyfriend and I have tried many of their sushi rolls, sushimi and other plates and it never disappoints. It is never super busy so food comes out quick as well. I have even taken a few friends here because it’s more reasonably priced than some of the bigger sushi chains that charge outrageous amounts for a sushi roll. Highly recommend this spot!!“

“Theyve got a very busy counter. You can get car insurance quotes, lollipops, support your local soccer team, find an accident attorney and oh yes order food. Good quick asian food we've been to numerous times. Sushi was decent but it's not a sushi restaurant. Portions are generous. Staff is nice“

“always delicious, fresh, amazing food with the best waitstaff around.“

“I came for soup after going to the dentist. The staff is incredibly professional, super nice. They are so personable and attentive. On top of that, soup was amazing. You can tell how much pride they take by the taste of the food. Wonderful atmosphere, very clean, great music, big portions.“
