“Excellent sushi and sashimi. Had the unagi and toro and both cuts were fabulous. Good gyoza, the right temperature. Kyoto roll was tasty. Traditional rainbow roll was good, firecracker roll was excellently presented and flavor and flavor was perfect, lollipop rolls were a good finish and texture. Everything was very fresh and no flavors were overwhelming. Topped it off with lychee ice cream. Definitely will return.“

“This has been my go to spot since middle school for Authentic Japanese style food in the valley. The service - food quality - and prices have all stayed very consistent and honest for the last 20+ years I've been coming!

I used to drive out to Tempe for their last Kyoto Bowl location, but I have to say. It doesn't hold a candle to Yoko.

If you are curious - definitely try it! You will be back with friends.“

“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!“

“Ordered from Doordash, enjoying this fresh, meat plentiful, flame grill taste of the Teriyaki chicken & shrimp meal. I wish they had more drink options than diet Coke or bottle water (like regular Coke cans) on Doordash but YUM! The chicken tasted like white meat & there was plenty of shrimp. They even included a side of extra sauce ( it needs it) without me asking. The napkins are real thick. The only criticism about the food is the veg is just mostly cabbage with bits of broccoli & carrot shavings. It's such a bounty of quality shrimp & flavourful fresh chicken, that I don't mind. 5 stars Sarku Japan! No fortune cookie cuz it isn't that kind of place. Healthy like they don't use oil. YUM.“

“Very welcoming and definitely the biggest and best sushi I have had at a super affordable price. I couldn't even finish it. I bought the Dragon Roll and edamame beans and it took them only 5 minutes to complete my order.

Everything tasted so fresh. From the crab filling to the eel topping, perfect.

It is a lot more difficult to eat due to its size and not being bite-sized anymore, but I honestly can't complain. If you have good chopsticks skills, you will be fine.“

It was perfect. They have unique tasty flavors that definitely makes them stand out against other local pastry shops. Also if you are someone who enjoys Japanese treats this is the place for you, they never fail to take me back to my visits to Japan with their incredibly accurate tasting pastries !! 5+ stars all the way!!“

I particularly enjoyed the sushi to order as opposed to the all you can eat because we weren’t going to order more than $30 each. Howard was great and incredibly attentive. However, the cleanliness of the restaurant could have been better, which is why it’s 4 stars instead of 5.“

“I have to give kudos to this place. Excellent customer service. The first time I ordered from this location, I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken was tender and not charred because it was never very good at another location I used to go to. So I ordered again, brought it home, and the chicken was overcooked. I called and spoke to the manager who immediately offered to replace my meal so I ordered it yesterday and it was so delicious and the staff was so friendly. I'm pretty picky when it comes to teriyaki chicken and haven't been able to find any that's really good. Now I have. I will continue to get it from this Yogi's in the future. It's one of my favorite meals. Good customer service goes a long way. I wish more businesses understoid this.“

Unfortunately, they have a yucky smell in the dining room right now. I hope they get that taken care of soon.“
