“Been coming here regularly since discovering this gem of a restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious. And the customer service is always top tier! The wife and I usually stick with our favorites(Combo A and Combo B), but have tried some of the other dishes and they are all very good. Favorites include Yakisoba, yakimeshi and Chefs special. The sushi is also not to be slept on. Highly recommend this place for great Asian food.“

“Unmatched Sushi Experience at House Modern Sushi in Mesa! Review: My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at House Modern Sushi, located conveniently next to the AMC theater in Mesa, and I must say, it was an absolutely phenomenal experience! Right from the start, we were impressed by the cleanliness of the interior and the warm welcome we received, which set a fantastic tone for the evening. The service at House Modern Sushi is genuinely outstanding. It's clear that this family-owned business puts a lot of heart into their service, ensuring every customer feels valued and well-cared for. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made our dining experience even more special. Now, onto the main event - the sushi! Every single item we ordered was nothing short of incredible. The sushi rolls were fresh, expertly crafted, and presented beautifully. What really stood out was the generous portion size, which is a great value for the price. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, clearly highlighting the quality of the ingredients used. Comparatively, House Modern Sushi easily surpasses other local spots like RAW and Broker Sushi. There's just something about the way they prepare their dishes that makes their sushi stand out in a league of its own. Without a doubt, House Modern Sushi has become our new go-to place for sushi in Mesa. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or just looking for a delightful dining experience, I highly recommend visiting House Modern Sushi. It's more than just a meal; it's an experience that you'll want to return to time and again!“

“delicious food reasonable price“

“Yum yum the chicken teriyaki“

“The treats taste heavenly and are always fresh. You can tell a lot of love goes into making these treats💗 Definitely recommend!!“

“The food is fresh and delicious, the staff are always so sweet to our family - this is a great restaurant to bring friends and family. The lunch menu has slightly less options than the dinner menu, but it's also cheaper, so you really can't lose! Sakura Sushi is the best“

“Did you know that the word Teppanyaki in Japanese means ‘splash hot oil in customer’s eye?

Although Got Sushi tossed out its much beloved teppanyaki tables (and chefs) ages ago, the cuisine and customer service still SIZZLE!

So after hittin’ the ballot box and pounding down two Whopper Junior appetizers at BK, I was ready for a REAL meal. And I found it at Got Sushi!

The tall bottle of Kirin (not Japanese?) and Lemon Chicken Bento box instantly made life worth living again.

Gochisosama deshita!“

“I can’t believe I haven’t left a review for this place. Specifically the Ellsworth location. We’ve ordered probably 15 times since finding it in November. It’s our #1 take out place! The chicken and beef teriyaki bowl with no rice, double veggies is my favorite!“

“We had Makenna as our server tonight at RA in Mesa AZ at Dana Park, at 4:30pm on 10/03/2025. WOW!!! Incredible server with great knowledge of the menu and the food and offered awesome suggestions. She was very personable and attentive. It was such a delight to eat out and have a server that actually likes their job. Thank you so much Makenna for your smiles and joyful nature. To the GM: Makenna deserves a raise and a promotion. We will definitely be requesting her next time we are in.“

“The food was great and very tasty. This restaurant has 5 rows of food to select from. The staff were very attentive and cleared the plates from the table and made sure my drink was refilled. I've been to pacific seafood buffet, and I think this restaurant was so much better. I love coconut/ honey walnut shrimp. The shrimp and sauce at pacific didn't taste as good as this restaurant. The price was decent. It was 17.95 for dinner and came out to about 22 bucks with a drink. I read a few reviews saying the food wasn't hot when they got back to the table and another mentioning the paper plates. My food was still hot when I got back to my table, and I didn't mind the paper plates. They were decent paper plates, not the cheap ones that get soggy on the bottom or fold from the weight of the food. I'll definitely be coming back when I crave a buffet again.“
