By far the best sushi I've had in the valley. I'm so happy that they replaced the mediocre-at-best place that formerly occupied this space. The sushi was very fresh, nicely presented and delicious. This should give you an indication of the quality that they put out: bluefin toro flown in from Spain! They were busy and the service was a little spotty although friendly. The manager was all over it though, hustling and doing everything he could to assist. That makes a huge difference, even when the waitstaff is struggling a bit. Unfortunately, it's pretty unique to have a restaurant that focuses on quality food in this area. Most other nearby places are all show with blah food. Not here. The food takes center stage and I can't wait to go back.

Such a classy place now that Nori moved in! Sat on the patio, just wanted a quick happy hour beer and roll. We had sweet & chili tofu which was unique and delish! Also Las Vegas roll which was great, too. The plants and waterfall are relaxing and the menus on wooden boards were really awesome! I do not remember our waitress's name, however she was exceptional and checked on us several times. We will definitely be back.

If anyone knows me I typically don't show face in sushi joints. I have texture issues with anything slimy, mushy or fishy smelling near my mouth or olfactory buds. Joann and I were craving something new and exciting..and guess what Yelp just happens to have a Hot and New category to explore! Yelp is always my go to, embarrassingly I admit even in my hometown of Phoenix. I lived in North Scottsdale for a couple of years and it is still foreign to me when it comes to food, which is a cross I'll bear, there I said it! So, sushi...let's get to it. I found Nori under the Hot and New category and wowzers we enjoyed ourselves! It's a little hidden gem with a fabulously relaxing and quaint patio complete with bamboo stalks, water feature and breathtaking mountain views (I know, people don't know we are surrounded by mountains in the Valley). Joann and I gussied up to the perfectly set sushi bar next to a Canadian family that was consuming mass amounts of the raw rolled stuff. I am a connoisseur of just sitting in awe at the knife skills of these clearly talented sushi chefs. I applaud those that can wield a sharp object like a surgeon without the anger management issues and produce artful masterpieces that I'm supposed to consume. The GM Brett talked to us the entire time we were there. He was delightfully engaging, even spilling the ancient Japanese secret to their green tea waffles...nope, I'm not telling you, that's for me and me alone peeps! He told us that there were 3 locations of Nori (Desert Ridge, Hollywood and this is the newest location). He also told us that their green tea waffles were 'Valley renowned', that people would trek near and far for these palate pleasing mind blowing desserts. So after chitchatting for a bit are hunger pains took over and after perusing the menu, which was not overloaded with run of the mill crap, I decided on Golbi (Korean short ribs) and Joann did not disappoint with her choice of Chilean Sea Bass. It's always a gamble at a new place to go hungry and expect to be satiated when you are done...this was definitely the case! Presentation of our plates was spot on; from the pedestal of beautifully dark and savory forbidden rice that the Chilean Sea Bass was strutting itself on like a new pair of red soled Loubitans to my personal cast iron cauldron full of short ribs that saturated my palate with a dark and stormy sweetness that urged me to gobble them up. Dessert...wow...Brett didn't lie. If it were possible for me to have more kids (which are all Ginger's for those that don't know me well) I would name them Nori after the dessert experience we had. I felt apprehensive about anything green tea flavored, I love actual green tea but gelato and waffles?! Let's start with the delicious aroma that came wafting out of the kitchen when the batter hit the waffle iron. Joann and I looked at each other and we knew that it was gonna satiate our inner fat girl cravings for anything sweet. When they presented our dessert it was masterfully upgraded like Beyonce with her weave...lattice work of some sugary concoctiion under the waffle, green tea macha powder dusted around the Picasso of a waffle and for the ultimate diabetic ending, the green tea gelato on top. It was not overly sweet but the crunch is what had us..yes, I said crunch. Brett just stood there watching us eat it and finally fessed up to the ancient Japanese secret..again, nope, not telling' ya. It had hints of vanilla, and the green tea was most apparent in color but subtle in flavor, it was amazing! I won't lie, I dreamt about that damn thing for several nights..it was that good! To top off the great conversation, service, and food was the prices. Nori isn't some overpriced place that you can only afford at happy hour (even though that is pretty spectacular as well). This is someplace that you can take the family and enjoy yourselves and not worry about having to send your kids to wash dishes at the end of the service. Relaxed atmosphere, beautiful surroundings...count me in again and again (well when I'm home). Excellent job Nori..thanks Brett for welcoming us and educating us!

Beautiful place, friendly staff, service is quick and food is fantastic. The poki with sprinkles of doritos, I know...different but... excited my pallet like no other. The sushi is like butter, melts in your mouth, and the tempura is not greasy, not heavy , just right. One place that I will be coming back to for a long time. Customer service is excellent, their ice green tea is awesome. Lots of parking and was able to be seated right away without any reservations. Their signature sushi plates are all very tasty and all reasonably priced.

We stopped by Nori, just a few miles from our house, and I expect we'll become regulars. But it's also worth a trip if you're not from the neighborhood. There's been a dearth of good sushi in the immediate neighborhood for a long time, but Nori is among the better options we've tried in the Valley. The fish was fresh and flavorful, and didn't rely on gimmicks as seems to be the norm these days. Regular rolls are $7'ish and specialty rolls are roughly double that. But the specialty rolls seem to rely more on good fresh fish and other ingredients, rather than being slathered with heavy sauces. The crunchy roll, for example, had a unique and subtle flavor that made it a favorite, despite its relative minimalism. Another standout was the tempura, which is among the best we can recall. It was light and crisp, not doughy or greasy. Well played, Nori. Though we didn't try it this time, it was nice to see some noodle dishes and other Japanese staples, for those days when you want your food cooked.
(4)A L.
Just amazing. Fresh, buttery, melts in your mouth fish. As an avid, picky, sushi lover this is the best sushi bar in town! I pretty much tried every fish they serve and I am amazed at the quality, texture and freshness. From their rice to their sauces are light and simple yet the complexity of the flavors make my mouth taste like heaven. Lol a bit much? Well I'm not exaggerating it was amazing.
(5)Patrick B.
having lived in San Francisco for 19 years I was spoiled by the small restaurants with the freshest fish and Japanese chef who treated sushi as an art form to be enjoyed from many perspectives. When I moved to Scottsdale/Phoenix in 2005 I was disappointed by the lack of any sushi restaurant that represented what I was used to in SF. They were all big, impersonal and I never had conversations about the food with the sushi chef as he was too busy cranking out standard California rolls. There was no art, no Japanese culture and basic fish. I saw a review for Nori 5 weeks after it opened and it caught my eye. I was interested, but concerned it would be a repeat of the plain-Jane, boring sushi place that occupied the space previously. So my wife (also tired of boring sushi factories) and I tried it one Sunday night. BAM!! They had Japanese chefs, you could talk to and order from who looked to be creating edible art. Our first bit of sushi and sashimi was served over a bed of ice with fresh wasabi and dicon. Really, fresh wasabi! The fish was cut in large tender pieces, as opposed to thin strips I see in other establishments. In another nice touch they have good Japanese beers on tap and their sauces (ponzu and the like) are made with fresh citrus juice and not bought from Sysco. Nori impressed us a lot and reminded us of our really good places in SF. We went a total of 4 times in 7 days for lunch or dinner our first week after discovering it.
(5)Michael T.
great miso soup. sushi really fresh and artfully prepared. Don't skip dessert. The green tea gelato and waffle was a shockingly delicious surprise!
(4)Hillary S.
I have lived in scottsdale for 5 months now and have yet to find a sushi place I loved.. Until I found nori & it's right down the road from me! The portions are huge and everything taste fresh & great! The waitress was knowledgable on everything & her recommendations were spot on. Only reason I gave it a four star because the price was a bit much, but not horrible. We will definitely be back!
(4)Kathie M.
We have found our favorite Sushi place! I loved it here. Everyone was super friendly and helpful from our servers to the GM. I don't need to look any further and it's right in my neighborhood! We had several rolls, all good and filling. Can't wait to try more......And sit on the patio when the weather cools off. It looks very relaxing.
(5)Lauren H.
Great place. Still new so it was not that busy. We sat outside and the ambience was perfect. There was a waterfall and the heaters kept us warm. Everyone was really attentive and went out of their way to be helpful; they let us try the "real" wasabi and brought me a cute little desserts for my birthday that worked with my food allergies. Michael was our server and he was entertaining and nice. The food was great. We had edamame, miso, and galbi (pork) for appetizers. They were all better than average. The sushi was fresh. We had the tuna tataki roll, tuna roll, shrimp and tuna nigiri, and cali roll. I will definitely be back very soon!
(5)Larry B.
They do it right here. That's pretty much all you need to know. The fish is exquisitely fresh, and while the price for a meal can get up there if you're ordering a slew of nigiri it's worth it! I'd much rather pay more for something that I know is fresh than go to some place with conveyer belt sushi serving crap. I also like the fact that the sushi chefs are Japanese which at least creates the illusion that they know what they're doing more than someone who had on the job training in Arizona.
(5)Debra W.
This is my international healthy and happy place! Will be back again soon. My fav is their spicy sashimi salad paired with a wonderful glass of Dark Horse. Yum!
(5)Jim B.
Ilona was awesome. Great recommendation on food and drink. Very friendly. Sushi and all food great. Yes on the waffle dessert. Must try. Will return
(5)Nitti L.
We are still looking for our regular Japanese restaurant since Sushi on Shed was closed. I found this restaurant on Yelp; it looked great, so we gave it a try. We ordered Jjam-Pong and Nabeyaki Udon; Udon was great, but Jjam-Pong was tasteless. I think the cook forgot to put salt in it; it smells good and looked good, but only tasteless. 1-star was for the Udon, 1-star was for the service, and 0-star for Jjam-Pong. I think it's just a one-time mistake, so I will still go back to try other noodles, but won't order Jjam-Pong again.
(2)Michelle S.
Great little spot for fresh and different sushi. Saw it go into our little shopping center and finally got the DH to go. Boy are we glad! Great food, fair prices, nice servings and really fun and friendly service. We've been twice and we're hooked. Found a new strawberry sake that is cool, refreshing and smooth. The Seafood Green Onion Pancake is like an asian quiche minus all the eggs. Big enough to split too. Hubs had three kinds of rolls, California roll, a panko roll and Shrimp tempura. Oh and the coconut shrimp was tasty but a little oily for my taste. We had Michael as our server both afternoons and he could not have been nicer. TRY the chocolate lava cake with fresh strawberries! SO good! Really recommend this place! Coming back very soon for more!
(4)Lesley P.
This is one of my favorite spots for sushi. Their happy hour is solid, great service and the food has been great the 3 or 4 times I've been there. My biggest recommendation is their green tea waffle, you won't regret it.
(5)Phil G.
There is a "but" coming, however, first let me say the food was delicious and the ambiance was terrific, as usual. I've been here a few times now, as well as other locations, and the food is always spot-on. BUT, tonight I came in to celebrate my birthday, and despite telling my sushi chef and waitress...nothing, nada, zilch. I didn't need anything comped, but something to make my experience special would have been, well, special. Instead I left feeling unimportant. Oh well.
(4)Colleen L.
I'm not super into sushi but this place rocks. Don't go here for a birthday, though. We told the sushi chef & waitress that it was my husband's birthday and they didn't do a single thing. A small gesture would have been nice. Great service. Modern, clean ambiance with a nice sushi bar & regular bar. Small place in a strip mall that will surprise you with its cool vibe. Delicious miso soup. My husband loved the poke poke roll with Dorito chip crumble & the lobster roll (I didn't try the former and the latter was tasty, but too rich for me). Good California roll. Good sake selection.
(4)Deidree L.
Love their happy hour sushi specials! The food is fresh, exciting (they make things for you that are not on the menu if you ask) and delicious. We come here at least once a week - it's terrific!!!
(4)Alicia B.
Found it by accident while on a getaway. It's so much better than the West Hollywood location. Loved the ambiance, waiter and especially the food. We will be back the next time we're in Scottsdale.
(5)Jovan V.
"Life is short, eat dessert FIRST" The wisdom of this slogan will become apparent as you read my review. My partner and I visit Japan several times a year and are always looking to find sushi that compares to Tokyo. Up until now, we've struck out in Scottsdale. Kudos to Nori. Finally a sushi restaurant that is on par with the freshest sushi we enjoy in Japan. It took a Korean chef to create the ultimate Japanese sushi restaurant. How BRILLIANT is that! The service is another standout. I hope Jenny, our fabulous and attentive server, reads this. JENNY is probably THE BEST SERVER we've had the joy to meet here in Scottsdale. That's quite a compliment as we go out to eat at least 7 times a week, if not more, as we usually go out for lunch during the week and breakfast every weekend. That's a lot of servers that we get to meet. What impressed me most was that Jenny knew exactly when my beverage had to be refilled AND she brought a fresh, cold glass every time! It's the little things that make a difference. But I digress...lets talk about dessert. From the minute I glanced at the menu, I knew I had found the ultimate home away from home. As not only does Nori offer the finest & freshest sushi in town, it also offers homemade gelato. We had to pinch ourselves, as finding our two favorite foods under one roof is unbelievable!!! If you don't order the green tea waffle with homemade gelato you'll be missing out big time. In conclusion: it doesn't get any better than this if you are eating sushi in the desert. We leave tomorrow for Tokyo, but it will be nice to have Nori to come home to. PS) special thanks to Brett for his patience in directing me to Nori. I wouldn't have found it without him.
(5)Carolin R.
Excellent fresh sushi. Wonderful presentation. We come here once a month and the food is consistently good. Also check out the daily specials.
(5)Rebecca M.
Sushi in the desert .... oh YA!! We tried several rolls and types of Nigiri and were NOT disappointed by any of it!! A good Japanese beer and vanilla gelato as a finisher. Our host and waitress were attentive, informative, friendly and FABULOUS!!! We are visitors from Iowa and know we WILL be back next visit.
(5)Jimmy W.
This place tucked in the NW end of Scottsdale has great environment. The portion is very French but it is what the essence of the true Japanese cooking should be. The Uni (Sea Urchin) was very fresh almost as good as the fresh catch ones that served from the shell but I know that is impossible but the chef served it on large clam shell to imitate it as best as possible with a bed of ice with ginger and wasabi as garnishes. The Korean chef really had made an great effort on presentation which is pretty rare here in the Valley. $18 for uni is a little pricy but it is well worth it. The eel was served in a rice bowl which I thought was a little different since most were served in the bento bowl. It is slightly overseasoned but this is how most Korean likes it. I totally understand. It was overall a great lunch and service was very attentive.
(4)Marty F.
Their edamame was pretty damn incredible. As for their sushi, it was just good. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was fine. I'd come here again if others wanted to, but it wouldn't be first on my list for sushi. Service was great. :)
(3)Chris S.
wow this place so deserves a 4.5 rating. It is well designed and decorated and you can feel comfortable dressed either casual or well. They give you a nice warm towel when you sit down which is a great touch. Service is exceptional (reception and table-side) and the ratio of staff to customer is perhaps the best i've seen in a reasonably priced restaurant. If you are looking for a place to take the lady I think most will love the vibe here and it will feel like "a date night." Though Nori is more or less a strip mall, once inside and you are in another world that feels contemporary, clean and rich. Steady grooves of Thievery Corp and Nightmares on Wax sneak around all night at just the right volume. Great lounge vibe. Sake is served elegantly and correctly in a wooden box and mine had an integrated ice compartment to keep my sake cold. Sweet! The fish quality is very good. They had bluefin toro a few of the nights I've been there and it was old school good. They also seem to consistently have fresh Saba and fry the bones correctly afterwards. Their presentation wows you every time and they have great plate ware and garnishes. All of the sashimi as very fresh and high qualify right up there with some of the best. On the down side I would say that I typically enjoy talking to the sushi chef and interacting on and off throughout the night but there is not a lot to work with here. They are a little indifferent and a little too serious. If this was a language barrier than my bad but I didn't detect that in our limited interaction. They do certainly know sushi so this is a minor gripe. Kanpai
(4)Tim B.
Some of the friendliest and most attentive staff on our recent trip to a Scottsdale made our visit to Nori a fantastic find! On July 4th you would expect the staff to just want to be gone, but Michael and company greeted us warmly and were attentive during our entire meal. The sushi was done expertly and was of fantastic taste, and the whole meal was reasonably priced for what we had. Now, to try that West Hollywood location closer to home...
(5)Anita N.
The wait staff is incredibly attentive and professional. A little pricey but the food quality/customer service is well worth it. My family was treated very well and that always makes me a happy customer.
(5)S K.
Gorgeous little place, nice ambiance, friendly and personable staff, quick in and out at what should have been the lunch rush. Prices are competitive, as are the portions. Checked out the happy hour menu, wish it didn't end before I get out of work (6pm) Try it.
(5)Michael P.
I liked it. I think when I order "spicy yellowtail" though, there could be a bit more spice. But overall, service was quick and easy, and I still had sushi that tasted great. I just wanted a bit more spice than what comes with the wasabi.
(4)Paul E.
Living in Scottadale I had come to expect that I wouldn't ever find amazing Japanese food, let me say all of that was shattered on my visit to Nori. Having been to Japan and had local cuisine, I can say that Nori is by far the best sushi and sashimi that I've had in the USA. The atmosphere in the restaurant is peaceful and the decor is minimalist with light background music and you have a great view of the sushi bar from any of the tables. The food was simply outstanding! Delicious, fresh and flavorful sashimi, nothing stale or old tasting!! I went at lunch and had the Sashimi Special with Tuna, Yellowtail and Salmon(my favorite) all of the food was delivered to our table quickly and our server was so amazing, her recommendation of the Tuna Tataki roll was excellent! I sat there enjoying my lunch and looking through my pics of my most recent trip to Japan, it made me decide I need to go back soon! Nori, your amazing and I will spread the word and continue to enjoy your amazing food, often!
(5)Dave A.
A solid sushi joint in N Scottsdale. Their prices are very reasonable (even outside of HH) and the sushi is spot on. Don't forget to check in on yelp for a free steamed bowl of edamame. The patio is also very calming on a nice night. Enjoy! ****4 Stars.
(4)Keaka H.
Tonight was my 2nd time to Nori Sushi and again they delivered excellent food and service. I went for happy hour and the prices were low enough that I tried an assortment of their offerings and they were all good. Our waitress Jenny was super friendly and down to earth. Our bartender Burke is so down to earth and friendly and makes amazing cocktails like their aviation and french 75. Service alone I would say is 5 stars, but coupled with their food its a must to visit them. I'm from Hawaii so I really enjoy good sushi and their sushi chefs from Japan are top notch and offer great dishes. This is probably one place that I would want to be a regular. If you're a local or visiting Scottsdale, you should definitely visit Nori.
(5)Lauren T.
After being told how great this place was we decided we had to check it out. Hands down the best sushi we've had in awhile. Everything tasted extremely fresh & was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the lobster tempura. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Beverly H.
Not a fan. Over priced and over rated. Wont be back. Service was good but the food was not exceptional. I would rather eat grocery store sushi. 15.00 for one specialty roll? Come on! I can get way better rolls for under 10.00. I don't know how they got this many stars obviously friends and family must be reviewing! Some of the worst sushi I have ever eaten. Btw I used to live in Hawaii. I know my sushi!
(1)Cathy H.
Great sushi with very generous portions and sooo fresh! The salmon nigiri was outstanding! Will definitely be our neighborhood sushi hangout, and they have a great happy hour menu! The service was great, everyone was so friendly and our server Jennifer was great with recommendations and obviously loves working at Nori!
(5)Ilona L.
Ah, if you love sashimi like I do you'll never go to another sushi place again! They have a great variety of fish, from Toro to Snapper, always fresh, and the presentation is beautiful. Plus, and this is a real delight for me, REAL Wasabi! The restaurant itself is very pretty, with such a peaceful patio, complete with a waterfall and all. Also, I haven't seen anyone mention the playlist they have, which is fantastic. The staff is very knowledgeable and personable. It was recommended that I try the green tea waffle. I was skeptical at first, but my goodness, it was to die for. Definitely the best sushi in town.
(5)Stephanie W.
100% the best sushi I have had in Arizona, and maybe even California too. Ahi tuna done very well. Las Vegas-esque roll rolled in panko, check. Calamari, thanks much. Waffle dessert with vanilla ice cream, holy *#%^. Proud girl from the bay, I know my fish baby. Oh, and manager boy...hey ;)
(5)Rachael C.
Everything was delicious from the miso soup to the sushi rolls. Best California roll iv ever had. The baked lobster roll was TO DIE FOR, was creamy crunchy and savory. The service was great as well, my server never let out waters go empty and we drink a lot of water. No complaints what so ever. Loved the atmosphere also the patio is great, loved the waterfalls.
(5)Christian H.
So, been here 3 or 4 times since my first visit and initial review. Place is still amazing. Food is always fresh and tastes amazing. Twice now we've had Lynnae, another manager, who is always great, very personable, and makes the entire experience more enjoyable. Between the food, service, and staff, this place has quickly become one of my favorite places to go to, lunch or dinner. -Wendel
(5)Dawn P.
Excellent sushi. The service was outstanding. Quality and freshness superb! Will be going back very soon to this neighborhood gem!
(5)Tracy T.
Such fresh fish, like it just came off the boat! All of our sushi was amazing and we tried a bit of everything at our table. No overpowering sauces or gravy-like cover ups here. The fish took center stage. Enjoyed the fried tofu appetizer, too! Great place and we will be back!
(5)TJ L.
The food is very good. The Maki are large, fresh and tasty. The service was very good. The double dragon roll was exceptional. The only down side was the price. Very expensive. A bit pricey for a family meal. Some of the best miso I've had in town.
(4)Claudia S.
Super friendly staff for lunch. My husband and I know good quality fish and we do have to say the quality at Nori was very good. We are pleased with the quality of three sushi restaurants so far, Shin Bay, Toyoma and Nori. Hope this place could lower their prices a bit. For lunch we spent $100 that's a lot!
(4)Jon S.
They get 3 stars for the kindness of the staff. The kitchen gets 1 star for being the slowest in town. I also think the prices are a little high. The green tea waffle is unbelievable. Best thing on the menu.
(3)Leah W.
I love sushi so trying new places is always fun for me. I tried almost everything on the menu because there were so many unique items. Honestly, there was not one thing wrong with anything I ordered. I highly recommend trying the seafood pankcake, Chilean sea bass, EVERY sushi roll & of course their green tea creme Brulee. Make sure to ask for Michael as your waiter. He was very friendly and entertaining throughout the whole dinner. I highly recommend this place for atmosphere, clean healthy food, and great service :) very accommodating if you are on a clean diet!
(5)Chad G.
I always like to support the businesses close to home and can honestly say the quality of the sush is outstanding! The last sushi joint that was in this exact location before was always dead and even though I supported it I knew in due time it would be closing. I have been to Nori twice in the last couple weeks and it is always filled with people.
(4)M L.
Sat on the patio on a cool evening. Great, cozy, quiet atmosphere. Our waiter, T.J., was friendly, polite, & knowledgeable -will ask to sit at one of his tables again. We came here wanting to try the green tea waffle & gelato, and should have taken the advice of the reviewer who said "eat dessert first." Ok..next time. I started with edamame and a seaweed & sesame salad. Both were fresh, light, & tasty. I ordered a baked lobster roll and it was over the top delicious. It had a scrumptious rich sauce and I just couldn't make it to that daggone waffle...I will go here as #1 choice for date night!
(5)J L.
Nori has solid sushi. Rolls and nigiri are decent as they lean toward the traditional - i.e. they don't revel in deep fried sushi or use cream cheese as a staple. It is more than ample for a sushi fix, but will not go down in your mind as the mother of all sushi experiences. For those living in the area, Nori is a good local sushi place within stumbling distance. For those living more than a few miles away, it may not be a destination restaurant as the location is smack in the middle of Suburbia.
(4)Dennis S.
Have had sushi numerous times but this was certainly my best experience. Food and Service. Cant wait to go back !!!!
(5)Renee B.
Can't go wrong here! Came from SF 9 years ago w/ the best quality sushi. Finally we have a local sushi restaurant, Nori, near our home that rivals Ebisu, SF, CA! The fish is top quality, served beautifully over ice. The chefs are Japanese artists & the staff is very attentive.
(5)Abbie C.
Delicious, but pricey. The fried tofu was amazing. All of the sushi was fresh and delicious. I have heard they have a wonderful happy hour.
(4)Daniel S.
We saw a review in the paper and tried it out Saturday. Excellent food. Great service and atmosphere. If you like sashimi no better place. There seafood pancake was novel and absolutely delicious. Not cheap but what good sushi restaurant is.
(4)Ginny F.
Hamachi Roll is amazing! Great neighborhood spot - staff is friendly, everything we've tried has been flavorful and fresh. 2nd time we ordered by phone for pick-up for a quick dinner at home and it was thoughtfully packaged and ready to go.
(5)P M.
I am so excited about this place! It was totally perfection! I'm originally from SoCal and the quality of sushi I've had thus far in the area has been mediocre. We live up the street from this place and decided to try it based on yelp reviews. So happy we did, it's a total gem. My husband had the scallops, we had a baked lobster and a tuna tataki roll. We would order every single dish again! Lindsay our waitress was great as well. It just tastes fresh ... Finally! We have already declared ourselves regulars. Thank you for opening a location in Mcdowell!
(5)WMT W.
I would give it all 5 stars but i don't want it to go to their heads. They just opened and I have only been here this one time. Anyway I am so happy a more than decent sushi bar is in the neighborhood. I am sure i will be adding the 5th star soon. By the way the service was awesome Mike and John are tops.
(4)Guy B.
Some of the best sushi in phoenix! Mr. Lee, the sushi chef and owner, is a true artist with everything he creates. The atmosphere is really nice with really good music. The staff is very attentive and also have great recommendations if it's your first time. You can count on this place being consistently great every time you go there!
(5)J E.
So happy to have this place here in McDowell Mountain Ranch! We have been here 3 times now and every time it is better than the last! Every time has been wonderful. Highly Recommended. They even have the difficult to find Echigo beer that I absolutely love!!!!
(5)I M.
Very good sushi, great service. Had to wait 30+ minutes for the sea food ramen so ended up canceling it. Wish the server let us know it takes this long to make because we were done with everything and had to sit there and just wait for a while. We will be back to try the ramen but sushi was very good.

We came in for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and were the only patrons... This worried me a bit since I had not been to this place since it was Satori Sushi. We sat on the awesome patio.. Actually ordered something other than our usual rolls that we get everywhere. Seriously the freshest sushi I have ever had anywhere. If we still lived in the neighborhood we would probably eat here once a week at minimum. Our server was fast and friendly as well.
