20 Best Japanese Restaurants in Mesa

“Amazing sushi and Japanese Izakaya fare (yakitori, curry etc). They often import fish from Japan, so be sure to ask about what's special that night!“

“Reminds me of food I used to get on base at MCAS Iwakuni Japan, not far from Nagasaki.“

“Found this spot a couple years ago. Its our favorite ramen place. Service is always quick and attentive! Ramen always tastes amazing and always is above other places we try! The sushi is great too! We get the miso butter ramen and tonkotsu ramen.“

“We enjoyed a nice lunch and great conversation with dear friends who will be moving out of state soon. This was their recommendation for lunch, and I must say it was a good choice. The California and Philly rolls were very tasty from my perspective. Everyone had something different to eat, and everyone enjoyed their choices as well.
The shop is small and seating is basic, but when your out with good friends, enjoying your food, it makes no difference one way or the other. We definitely enjoyed our visit.“

“The sushi spot that will ruin all the other sushi experiences for you! We haven’t found a better sushi maker than Jade and Tech here at Makittos! 🤤 try the Angie roll and soju!!“

“I had the chicken shrimp fried rice combo w/yum yum . my wife had the noodle w/shrimp bothe were great good portions going back soon“

“Best. Ramen. Ever. Be prepared to wait in line during peak hours, but it’s well worth the wait!“

“The sushi is always delicious and fresh and you can't beat their happy hour prices! Friendly staff and quick service! Small but quaint restaurant that's easy to find! I order food for pick-up all the time and will continue to do so!“

“Food was delicious 😋 I will come again“

“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!“

“Wow ,
I stopped here by accident. I was literally pulled over trying to order delivery to my house after a long work day . When I looked up , I was next to this food truck . I thought well , that was meant to be ( please be good )
When I got home ! Wow … perfect . Everything was cooked perfectly . The gal at the window was so kind and the chefs nailed it ! Super impressed ! Everything was cooked on point ! Thank you“

“delicious food reasonable price“

“yummy as always, i litterally eat here everytime i come to the mall and it never fails. the guy in the tye die wrap had the best customer service ever. the big dude thats older than the other employees wasnt there when i went up, but he's cool too and been there as long as i can remember!!“

“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“

“Great place ! We used to live in Seattle, the World Headquarters of easily accessible great Teriyaki, and hadn't really found a place that measures up. I don't know why we waited so long to try Yogi's since we live < 2 miles from it, but a friend visiting wanted some Teriyaki so we went here. I was shocked at how great it was ! Now we visit all too often ! They have plentiful portions, and the chicken T is just as good as we had in Seattle, if not better. Chicken was cooked perfectly, and wow their Teriyaki sauce is amazing. Best way is to order and pay on their website (no need to use 3rd parties), then go pick it up. Everyone's so nice at the counter. Only hassle is parking since it's behind the building with the Starbucks, but being behind the building provides quick access since you can drive behind the entire strip mall and avoid all of the slow Albertsons traffic to get back to Baseline.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Sushi isn't very good but their chicken options are. UPDATE. Went there recently like a few weeks ago. I was looking it up to plan a trip back. The food was all very good and the quality of the Sushi was also very good. Sushi from other places messes me up but I risked it and this was pretty good(I probably have undiagnosed allergies but this place gave me no major issues). The ingredients seems more real and fresh vs the fake and packaged stuff. The chicken and Won Tons were great. I hope we can go back durring Lunch since we don't eat Crab or the steak really.“
