Known not only for their sushi but also for their garlic chile edamame, Sushi Style offers great sushi for a great price.
Zu Izakaya Asian Kitchen
Zu Izakaya isn’t your traditional sushi restaurant in the Phoenix area. It’s more like a Japanese version of a tapas bar, meant for small bites plus drinks. But while they are mainly known for their alcohol selection, their sushi doesn’t disappoint either. Highlights include the jalapeno Vegas roll and volcano roll.
Moto
Moto is a trendy, modern cafe-like sushi spot that offers Pan-Asian dishes. Vince Heppler, the creator of Moto, was the first Anglo sushi chef in Arizona, and in the ’80s, he went to Japan to study the art of sushi. A visit here means you know that you will be enjoying quality meals from someone who cares.
Yen Sushi & Sake Bar
With over 900 Google reviews and over 500 Yelp reviews, Yen Sushi has earned its high ratings. With fresh ingredients and well put together dishes, it’s no wonder this sushi place has become a valley favorite.
