50 Best Sushi Bars in Phoenix

“10/10 sushi, don’t skip this place!“

“We loved sushi friend. Our toddler was having a hard time and they continued to give us avocado because it’s his favorite. The sushi was amazing and very fresh.“

“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“

“Been craving a good ramen and decided to give this a place a try! WOW!!! I’m not kidding when I say this was the best ramen we have ever had! HANDS DOWN! First, the service was amazing! Ian went out of his way to make our first time there exceptional! Brought multiple sauces for us to use on our small plate starter, (mixed tempura) which was light, and delicious!! He went above and beyond to make our visit special. Service was fast but not rushed! I felt like I was at a 5 star establishment! Now back to this ramen!!! We got the Tonkostu ramen. It was thick and creamy and FLAVORFUL!! Wow. Meat was tender and everything was so yummy! My husband who normally says everything is “aight” said this was really good and definitely the best he’s had and we’ll absolutely be back! Although he ate all his noodles he still brought the left over broth home it was so good! Thank you Ian and Yutaka for such a wonderful experience and meal for our Friday date night! Can’t wait to come back !!“

“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“

“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. ❤“

“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!“

“This was our first time here and it was delicious A+++. The appetizers we got were the rock shrimp and the Gyoza. They were both fantastic. We also got the Alaska roll and Cherry Blossom roll. They were both delicious. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be back because the service was wonderful. Everyone was so nice. .“

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

“My apologies to Kevin and his staff for this long-overdue review.

I have been dining at Nami for quite some time, and every visit has been a wonderful experience. Kevin consistently greets me with genuine courtesy and warmth, and his staff always takes excellent care of me, my family, and the guests I have introduced to the restaurant.

The food is consistently of the highest quality. As someone of Asian heritage who has traveled extensively throughout Asia, I feel confident saying that Nami’s cuisine is both delicious and impressively authentic.

I have also never been disappointed by the quality, freshness, or variety of the sashimi. Whenever I ask Kevin to select and slice whatever he feels is best that day, he always delivers an exceptional assortment.

I rarely write reviews unless I feel they are truly deserved. In Nami’s case, this review is sincere and long overdue. Kevin and his team have created a restaurant that is worthy of recognition, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.“

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

“The sushi is just outstanding not to mention the service I am so happy they are open in Ahwatukee again! They did a remodel and its so quaint. It is small so large parties would be tough, go with 2 or 4 its so worth it! ,“

“I absolutely love this place! I have become a regular now and the staff are so kind and fun! The food is always amazing and when I first started coming here I wasn't a sushi person. Now, I love my sushi and even have a few favorites. I doubt they could get rid of me as a regular customer! XD“

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

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

“I have been wanting to try Salmon King since seeing reviews pop up on my Facebook feed. Well, the reviews I read were right. Sushi was A+ and so was the service. Don’t wait to try it. Summer is here, and sushi is best (in my opinion) during the hot days! The sushi quality rivals well-known sushi locations in the hood. We will be back, to dine or take out!! Thank you!!!“

“Went here for the first time last Saturday at 5:30 pm and it wasn’t busy at all. There is a lot of seating there and some nice booths with good privacy. The sushi was really good and fresh and came out super quick. We got a Las Vegas roll, Tiger roll (which was our favorite), and the shrimp tempura roll. We also tried the gyozas which were very good as well, nice and hot. I got the Tokyo Mule and my wife got the Moscow mule and both were very good. I also got a cosmopolitan which was strong but good! We finished with their lava cake which came out super hot and was perfect to top us off. We will definitely be back.“

“Girlfriend and I stopped by tonight, super cute little spot! We loved their late night reverse happy hour. Our server was friendly and great, the food was delicious! Only slight feedback we have is that it was VERY bright in there which killed the ambiance a bit. They have cool dim lights and purple lights in there, I hope they can dim the bright lights and really make it a cool vibe! We will be back.“

“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!“

“Ambiance, service, food and cocktail quality was 10/10! And the new 11-7 Happy Hour menu is just insane!“

“Hornbill Sushi & Asian Fusion delivers an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The owners are genuinely kind, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do, which sets the tone the moment you walk in. The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish was prepared with care and quality, making it clear that excellence is a priority here. You can truly taste the attention to detail in every bite. The atmosphere was equally impressive—clean, comfortable, and inviting, with a great vibe that makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. Whether you’re dining in or celebrating something special, Hornbill creates an experience that feels both relaxing and elevated. This is a place that values its customers, its craft, and its community. Highly recommended, and I will absolutely be returning.“

“Kodo has officially become our favorite sushi spot! Food is high quality, sushi/nigiri is fresh and prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is casual and comfortable. We always get seated quickly and everyone from the host/hostess to the servers are helpful and attentive. My husband’s favorites are the chirashi bowl and the fresh wasabi. My faves are the yellowtail carpaccio and the super crunch shrimp roll. Definitely recommend!“

“It was our first time there. Being from New Orleans I had to ck out the "trout amondine". It was exceptional. The staff was incredible as was our waiter "Miles"- the best!“

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

“Cocktails were great. Food was good. Overall experience was awesome.“

“Todo muy rico los precios son justos y la atención no se diga lo mejor se los recomiendo todo al 1000% 👍“

“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!!!!“

“BEST MATCHA IN THE VALLEY! As someone who goes to Japan I will saw minnow excels at matcha. I always come for matcha and bagels but today I finally came for happy hour and the food is amazing. Tuna tostada is a 10/10 and their yellowtail is so good! Also I love the vibes in there. Def try sitting at the matcha bar! Can’t wait to come back with friends :)“

“🍣❤️ good sushi 🍣 good 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!!“

“Cozy local conveyer belt sushi spot. The atmosphere really isn't much but the food and service were solid.

Like most popular conveyer belt sushi places, the color of the plate dictates the price. The most expensive plate (yellow) is $5 at the time of this review. I recommend the tuna, the beef sushi, and even the fried chicken maki roll (very unusual) had love put into it, it was good.

They don't seem to offer fresh wasabi.
I am likely to come here for a lunch, moreso than dinner.“

“What a gem of a spot! We stopped in here for a quick bite and had a great experience. Staff was friendly and attentive, checked on us multiple times and kept our drinks refilled without a single ask. Food was FANTASTIC. We ordered the gyoza, salt and pepper shrimp (our favorite dish we ordered), spicy yellowtail, the evil roll and the Hawaiian roll. Ingredients tasted super fresh and we felt like every plate we got just got better. Really enjoyed our dinner here and can’t wait to come back!“

“you're WAY overpriced. You're charging $19 for edamame? Edemame is nothing but a free appetizer at any and all actual sushi bars. No wonder you filed for bankruptcy. Maybe you should have made better financial decisions other than gouging for little things. How much would you like for chips and salsa? $50? mashed potatoes $20? Are you kidding me? You're nothing without customers. You buried yourselves. You're nothing special. same day items extremely overpriced. Bye!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Best sushi Restaurant in phoenix I will be back“

“We stopped by for a quick dinner based on reviews for sushi and ramen. Ordered a few Sushi plates, bento box and udon noodle soups. All food are fresh, tasty and of good portion with plenty of veggies and meat of choice. Seating area is a bit limited as only two-person size tables available inside. Udon soups are generously portioned with meat and veggies but soup is a bit salty. Other than that, it's a good place to stop for a quick bite of quality sush and bentos.“

“Love these guys! Great assortment on the belt and they have a great menu with great chefs. Fried green beans are great! Nothing has disappointed me!“

“su sabor delicioso de la comida...y l atención al“

“Loved this place since the first time I visited, the food is always so good, full of flavor, fresh and well presented.
I’ve been coming here for about almost 2 years when I’m in town.
I recommend all the dishes, they’re all delicious.“

“We’ve been going here for years 😋“

“wonderful food and excellent service“

“I live all the way in Seattle Washington where we have many wonderful sushi shops and this sushi shop is so good it’s existence has reached me way up here through friends who frequent the area every year. I am finally traveling to Phoenix with them and look forward to eating here frequently during my stay. Im am told that the sushi is delicious and the service friendly and family run which is even better, I love supporting small business owners. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Update! Finally got to try this location and it is ABSOLUTELY as good as the rumors that reached me up in Washington. Fresh. Flavorful. Delicious. Must have if you enjoy Sushi. Far above the quality of typical franchises. The family running this location really puts in the work to make the product good.“

“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“

“Delicious maki rolls!! Drinks are exceptional! Recommend it 💯“

“Chrrryblossom Noodle Cafe

Great music and a couple of different seating areas! It’s not too loud and the music that is played are calming instrumentals (no pop music)! It’s low enough to where you can hear the person in front of you clearly, while also at a volume in which it’s easy to tune other customers out.

Service (server): 5/5
Yuka was my server the first time I came here and she was wonderful as well! She even took the time to explain something of the Japanese words and characters to my husband and I. (He’s learning Japanese).
Serdan was my server this time around and he’s great! He’s very friendly and brought everything out to me asap!
Overall, the entire staff is so friendly. I didn’t get her name, but I asked if I would be able to move table on my solo trip this time around and she made it happen! Thank you! (She had red glasses).
Service (speed+accuracy) 5/5
I barely had to wait for my main meal. I think the overall time it took for everything to come out was 7-12 minutes.

Food (presentation) 5/5
Food (taste) 5/5
Tasted like my childhood noodle spot that I used to go with my mom while we lived in Japan. Incredible flavor and a lot for what you’re paying for!

Pricing 5/5
SUPER affordable and budget friendly! I went by myself and my check came out to $18! That’s including drink!

Extra notes:
Vegetarian options abundant and made very clear. The only thing (from what I believe was told last time) is that the broths that are used, are not fully vegetarian. So if that’s something that might not be best for you, don’t worry! They have other noodle dishes and even non noodle dishes that have absolutely no meat in them at all.
They also have a GREAT dessert variety to choose from. I was so so tempted to get the tiramisu—even though I haven’t had it, I’m sure it’s incredible.

Give this place a go if you’re into great atmospheres ramen, and friendly service!“

“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“
