“Great food and Vibe ! Nuff Said ! The General 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏈🏈🏈“

“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!“

“Great selection on menu. Sushi was delicious as was the cucumber salad . We will be back .“

“First time dining at Uchi. Wow! Amazing food and beautifully prepared. Every bite was a delicious morsel.“

“This review for Samurai Sam's on Greenway is way overdue. Ive been a customer at this location for years. Whenever I want something healthy AND delicious I know I can get my cravings met at Samurai Sam's. There are too many wonderful dishes to mention (check their menu), including kid-friendly items, plus they are happy to customize every order. Their teriyaki sauce is fantastic, and you can buy a bottle to take home. It’s a very casual place in the Safeway shopping center on Greenway and Tatum. I highly recommend this location for a fresh, healthy and tasty meal for the entire family. The staff are all great and prices are reasonable too. I usually eat-in but they have a booming take-out business.“

“This is one of the best restaurants in the Valley. The location is different, but actually very cool. The service was outstanding and the food was amazing. This place should be fully booked every night, but people do not know what they are missing here. Excellent cocktails and impressive wine list. This is a can't miss restaurant in Phoenix.“

“I strongly recommend coming to Daruma. The selection of ramen options are the best I’ve seen. The food is visually phenomenal, the quality and flavor is even better. The staff is attentive and very kind. I will certainly be a returning customer!“

“love the food and the staff 😊“

“Best Sushi 🍣 I ever had in my life hands down.“

“Very friendly staff, I just met with Cassidy and she was very nice and helpful. come check this place out and their food!“

“We are no strangers to some of the best food there and have dined with a few James Beard winners. Some of the best yellowtail and salmon sashimi we have ever had. This place should have a line wrapped around the building. Very impressed!!“

“One of the best sushi spots in the area. Their happy hour and lunch specials are amazing. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I love the menu for their simple rolls made with high-quality fish. If you're looking for consistently great service, and quality sushi without anything overly complicated, this is the spot!“

“amazing food.great service even met the owner!“

“Fabulous welcome, sushi, sake and service! First visit but we will definitely be back! We had the Gyoza, Salmon Carpaccio, the OMG roll and the Sex and the City Roll. All were delicious. While we were waiting we were treated to a taste of the chefs special. Really good!“

“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!!“

“10/10 sushi, don’t skip this place!“

“First time going here and absolutely loved it!! The food was incredible, but what was even more amazing was the service!! We accidentally ordered double of everything, but our waitress quickly resolved the issue. In addition, we realized we ordered too much food and the manager helped us with editing our order so that was awesome. The service here was incredibly quick, and the people are so kind and attentive. Would highly recommend visiting if you love sushi and quality service!!“

“Located inside the Asiana Market's food court. Excellent hidden gem for authentic Japanese staples. The ingredients are always fresh and the dishes have a homemade quality to them. Not to mention, the portion sizes are quite generous for the price, especially for today's standards. I recommend supporting this business and giving them a try.“

“Yoshi's Fresh Asian Grill is one of my favorite restaurants and I highly recommend it. The drive thru service is quick and everything is great. The home made sauces and attention to detail makes this a great and healthier option compared to burger drive thru“

“Really enjoyed dinner here, and it was nice sitting on the patio. They had a happy hour menu that extended to the end of their hours so that was nice. The food and service was great, with the ramen really the highlight. But they did have a really nice selection of rolls of which many were available on the happy hour menu.“

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

“I highly recommend it very clean comfortable atmosphere great personnel. The sushi chef Rico, was friendly, helpful, creative in suggesting ideas. I had a really good experience, i was there by myself yet had much company. I recommend it to anybody I can’t wait to go back probably as soon as next week. It is very affordable and really really good sushi I had the Fresh water Eeal roll and they made me a Crunchyroll with real Crab also enjoyed their sushi rice. They had really cold beer. It’s definitely a place I recommend with great music, oh my gosh great great music ask for Rico’s music. Lol“

“We LOVED our experience!!! Loved the food and drinks and service!!! Absolutely delicious 👍🏼👍🏼“

“its early in the morning and i heavily crave sushi, takoyaki and other japanese dishes. I just want to share my experience here at King Salmon before, the place is really nice its quite elegant and disciplined its like an zen garden idk how to say this but it has this silent elegance that lingers around the place, then food is so fresh like woooh, top tier quality food, they serve it hot, cold what ever your pallet needs. exceptional service and fresh ingredients and rest rooms are nice and clean which is a huge +!! good food, good service and nice people, based on my experience before its fair to rate it 5/5 and other customers will agree! ill be back“

“everything was amazing: food, service and atmosphere“

“We definitely enjoyed our meal,drinks and dessert. As first timers our server, gave good explanatory service about the menu and the lunch special was on point. Will definitely return“

“Dine in experience is definitely better than ordering online. I would not recommend ordering online. There's too much confusion with the ordering portal and confusing communication. And I paid for extra things that didn't exist lol... So if you want to eat here, I definitely recommend but just go in and dine in instead. It is a really nice little spot. ❤“

“فرع اربد رحته مرتين ما في بينهم وقت طويل من كثرة زكاوة الأكل رغم اني مش عارفة ايش طلبت بالضبط بس كان تعامل الكادر جدا راقي ولطيف ، تجربة حتتكرر كل فترة وفترة أن شاء الله ، حبيته جدا 🥰“

“The ramen and curry was amazing!!!“

“My all time favorite terryaki chicken spot... Down to one location but still pretty close to the early 2000's experience... Best sauce.. side salad... Chicken comes slightly charred and that and the sauce is what elevates Tokyo Express over chain places.“

“🍣❤️ good sushi 🍣 good food 🍱“

“Went in and got some take out for lunch. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this place. The bartender who took my order was extremely friendly and shared lots of info about the restaurant. The atmosphere is really nice and cozy, we'll definitely be coming back here for dinner.My lunch sushi was amazing! My boyfriend is a chef and has spoiled my taste buds a bit and I could really taste all the high quality/house made ingredients that really set them apart.“

“We stopped by Sushiholic before catching our flight home and were so glad we did! Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

If you’re looking for a great sushi spot in Scottsdale, Sushiholic is definitely worth a visit. It was the perfect light meal before heading home, and we’ll be sure to stop by again the next time we’re in town! 🍣✈💛“

“Delicious Japanese food with a HUGE variety of options you won't find on every menu. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the restaurant itself because I ordered through DoorDash. What I can comment on is that the food was fresh, affordable, and delicious. I ordered the Zaru Soba Noodle meal, which came with hot, crispy Tempura on the side. The Soba Noodles really hit the spot after a day of roasting in the sun. As for the sushi, the Maguro Nigiri was excellent & super fresh. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant, as the options are authentic and affordable compared to other places.“

“revolving sushi bar (think conveyor belt where you sit and the food comes to you!)- awesomeness. come off the street, pick a table, sit, eat - done. no fuss, prices are color coded. hot green tea or beer, you call the shots. sushi without the pretension.“

“I’ve been coming to this Samurai Sam’s location for a few years now and I am never disappointed as the food quality and portion size is abundant, and the service is always top-notch; especially from Ericka who always goes out of her way to make customers feel welcome. Definitely one of my favorite lunch spots in the Valley.“

“BRO WHO CARES if it's a ghost kitchen (delivery-only restaurant). The food is so good, it came from 6 miles away, and arrived hot, and my iced tea very cold. Neatly packaged with utensils + napkins. 10/10 delicious spicy tonkatsu ramen and crispy gyoza!“

“I have been coming to Bop and Roll for as long as I can remember, and its crazy to see how much they’ve grown. It is always lovely to come in and enjoy a delicious bowl of ramen, some sushi, or some of the many other delicious menu items. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming, and they always make my experience incredible. I love coming here because it is always so peaceful and delicious. 10/10 will always come here.“

“Real omakase in the desert! 🍣 The quality of the food and the creativity of the chef’s menu definitely make it worth the price. This is the real deal—not one of those “fake” omakase experiences. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. If you’re looking for an authentic and creative omakase experience, you will not be disappointed!“

“A lovely and chic vibe! We will definitely go back!“

“Great food fast service and friendly staff“

“I always try to get their steamed buns whenever I see them at any event or festival! Incredible taste and very good service! The prizes are also very reasonable and the food is soooo good and very cute. I wish they had a physical location so I could have their food more often! 10/10.“

“Great service. Great selection. So fun outdoors. Great prices!“

“Always fresh, good and affordable“

“We recently moved to this area from Hawaii and I was convinced we would never have good sushi here u til we found Kay Sushi. They have great food that is very fresh and well balanced. I love their tempura, it is very fresh, light and crispy. My favorite dish here is the special with blue fin tuna from Fuji, Seattle salt and pickled wasabi root. They also offer fresh wasabi and pickled wasabi. My family goes here at least once a week.“

“Great restaurant chefs choice 9 course dinner was wonderful!“

“Really nice job. We did the chicken & steak with noodles and rice. Really lovely meat. Thank you Via Lida Samurai Sams!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at AJ's Sushi Bar, a small new business that is truly underrated. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with the warmest of welcomes by the friendly staff. The service was exceptional - I have to say it was the best I've experienced in the entire century!Despite being a small business, the quality of their sushi was outstanding. Every dish was expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. I also appreciated the creative combinations of flavors in some of their signature rolls.AJ's is definitely worth a visit. Don't let the size of the restaurant fool you - they truly deliver on quality and service. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings.“

“Great food at a great price. Best Poke Bowl I have had yet“
