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

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

“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.“

“love the food and the staff 😊“

“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!!“

“This. Is how you do Sushi. All the staff are chill and great people. Only grief is the hours. Wish they were open more hours. But high street foot traffic can be rough. I get it. High quality. Delicious. You can just tell when you try something and TLC and quality are put into consideration. Don't miss out!“

“10/10 sushi, don’t skip this place!“

“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. ❤“

“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“

“wonderful food and excellent service“

“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“

“I’ve been coming to this place for years. Because of distance though, I had been away for about 5 years or so. I had really been craving this place specifically though so we went. I was afraid that my favorite roll would be gone. It’s the kanpyo roll and it’s made with marinated vegetables. I’ve never seen it anywhere else and I can’t find the ingredient at any Asian supermarket either. Since it’s not fish, I have no idea how popular it is. Thankfully, I was delighted to find that it was still there and so was the spicy Buffalo fried chicken. It might seem weird to order chicken at a sushi place but it’s delicious and apart of their all day happy hour menu. Order it. Just trust me, order it. It’s fairly spicy though so be prepared. I’m pregnant right now so there were a lot of things I couldn’t order but they still have a decent amount of cooked roll options. It made me so happy to have such a nostalgic meal at one of my favorite restaurants. I hope this place never changes“

“This is by far my favorite sushi place. Don't be fooled by the hole-in-the-wall vibe. The food is great, the prices are cheap, and most of all I love that the owners are waiting on you and cooking for you. I was afraid this small restaurant might not survive Covid but I'm super happy that they did. Let's all support good quality inexpensive mom and pop restaurants whenever we can!“

“🍣❤️ good sushi 🍣 good food 🍱“

“I say this place was absolutely the greatest sushi spot ever. Me and my wife tried so many places in Arizona and this one tops them all. Everything we had here was perfect. We will definitely be coming back here. The service was absolutely the best...“

“The ramen and curry was amazing!!!“

“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.“

“Seriously so good! The spicy ramen is amazing and I’m obsessed with how tasty it was. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“This place was the BEST unexpected find ever. I loved every minute here. From the atmosphere to the hospitality. my rolls were HUGE and worth every dime. Kevin was GREAT!!!!! #SupportSmallBusiness. 10 out of 10 would recommend to ANYONE!!!! Return customer for LIFE!!!!“

“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“

“So happy you serve Eegee's!!!! My yakisoba bowl was super yummy too!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“It is worth every penny: The hood sauce is absolutely immaculate and by far one of the most wonderful flavors I've had in a long time. If you're looking to support a local business, I'd highly recommend giving Hoodbachi a chance.I sincerely hope this kitchen can evolve into a brick and mortar store someday soon.“

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

“Tried the all you can eat menu. I got full for once! The staff is amazingly nice like a ritz carlton! I highly recommend this place after eating sushi all around the world!“

“Delicioso sushi muy diferente a todos los demás. Super higiénicos. Recomendadísimo.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I love it OMGOSH is so good...California rolls and my mitso soup 😋😋..great price 👍“

“Love this place. Delicious daily fresh food. Super yummy!!!!!“
