22 Best Japanese Restaurants in Phoenix

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

“I’ve been eating at this location for well over 15 years. The food quality is fantastic, and the owners and staff are super sweet and welcoming. The chicken teriyaki with all white meat is one of my favorites. Recently, however, I started getting the Shishido steak and adding pineapple. It’s delicious!!!!! You honestly can’t go wrong with anything you choose.“

“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!!“

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

“love the food and the staff 😊“

“wonderful food and excellent service“

“Nigiris are quite large in size and taste wonderful. The eel nigiri is very generous in portion and soooo yummy. And they use real crab legs for the crab nigiri and give multiple crab legs for one piece of nigiri. Very very great deal. But the ramen is just so so.“

“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“

“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 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“

“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.“

“The ramen and curry was amazing!!!“

“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.“

“10/10 sushi, don’t skip this place!“

“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.“

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

“One of my absolute favorite places for sushi. The rolls are so good and the people here have been so sweet. Im allergic to shellfish so i cant speak on that type of food here, but i do love that I can eat all the veggie and salmon rolls without worrying about contamination because they are so safe with their food. Its one of my go to spots for lunch now.“

“This place is truly a gem! Every lunch I’ve had here has been consistently delicious, with fresh flavors that never disappoint. Raj goes above and beyond! He greets you with genuine warmth, ensures your order is handled with care, and always has spot‑on recommendations that make the experience even better. It’s rare to find a spot that combines great food with such attentive service, but this establishment nails it every time!“

“One of my favorite sushi restaurants in Phoenix! Good food and good prices. My favorite app is the calamari tempura and I always get it when I’m here. My go-to roll is the sunset roll and it never fails me. Tried the sushi combo this time and it was a great deal!“

“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.“
