    Salmon Teriyaki Box(Evening Unavailable)
    Janet L.

    *To-go order and service* I was down the street for a business event that went way overtime. My friends and I got too hungry and by 2pm, so we searched for the restaurants around that offered lunch specials and found Bei. I was so surprised that they offered lunch bento boxes specials until 2:15pm! Yay us! Both the salmon and Korean beef were soooooo delicious! For $13 each, we got A LOT of food!!! It was the most satisfying meal I've had in a while. They quoted us 20 minutes for pick up and only took maximum 15. Thank you for saving us from starvation!!

    Service was excellent and the food was a whole heck of a lot better then the last sushi place we went to. I loved it here . We had the baked scallop dynamite roll 9.6/10. The spicy white fish baked roll 9.2/10 ,the gyoza was about an 8.9/10 and the lobster rolls thingy were a solid 9/10. This place got 5 starts cause the food combined with the service was amazing. With two cokes and 3 rolls and gyoza with tip came to 75 dollars well worth it and yes I will go back again . It felt like warm hugs on Christmas Eve eating here and it's literally a mile down the road from the house and we loved it here.

    Hawaiian Roll
    Kevin M.

    Average. Service was good so that is why they get a 3. I went by myself and ordered two rolls. The Hawaiian Roll sounded like a good idea but the execution was not. Tasted bitter. Couldn't figure out why based on the ingredients. The Scottsdale Roll had that generic sushi taste to it since it was drowned in sauce. I caught happy hour so the Hawaiian Roll was lower priced. By myself, I was full. I was traveling for business so I'll probably never have a chance to go there again. It was just average. I would think there'd be better places to spend your money.

    Really great sushi spot have really good food and a really great happy hour including a late night one as well. They have little robots that deliver your food too, which was cool. The yellow tail was personally my favorite.

    Ugh, I am so sad to post this. The service was stellar for sure. I wanted to excuse this visit because of the proximity of the holiday but, I just can't. My buddy and I have been frequenting relatively often and unfortunately last nights visit left us both stating that it's time to move on. As a normally veggie leaning person, I've been partaking in the sushi over the past year and the quality last night had me think of the takeout counter at the grocery store. So sad. So sad. We were seated at a table a bit small for our order and we made it work. It was busier than usual and as I said, service was great, food quality, not so great.

    Lunch menu

    Dined here a few times during lunch and service was very friendly and attentive every time. They have a lot of really good lunch specials and they're a great value. Their sushi bar specials come with miso soup. I've had the sushi combo which comes with 4 pieces of nigiri and 8 pieces of California roll for only $12.95 and you can upgrade to a spicy tuna roll for 50 cents more. It was actually a lot of food and probably my favorite. The chirashi combo-7 piece chef's choice sashimi over rice $14.50 was ok. Unagi had a cold thick sauce over it which was kind of off putting for me. Although the lunch specials were pretty good, uni and spicy scallops were just so so and I wouldn't order again. Overall, it's a good spot to grab a quick sushi meal and it's very affordable.

    Calamari
    Abir L.

    Service was excellent, sushi rolls tasted very good and overall atmosphere was pretty chill. We tried Bei last night - Sunday. We were there at 6 and were pleasantly surprised when we found out that they have happy hour everyday from 4-7. Restaurant was pretty occupied but it was easy to find a table as it is a sizable place. We sat close to the robot "cat" server. It was pretty entertaining for our kid. We ordered edamame and fried calamari as well as six sushi rolls and one soda. They had the majority of rolls discounted. They had other options on the menu also including noodle dishes but we were there for the sushi. Edamame was good. Calamari was interesting. I've never had ones that are cooked in huge pieces like that, so the texture felt almost a little different but ok. The dipping sauce complimented them really well though. The rolls were all very good, some better than others. I always pick cooked rolls so it took a little while for them to come out. All were were fresh and had good flavor. Our favorite was probably love is blind. Total before tip was around $80. If I remember correctly, the most expensive roll during happy hour was about $13+ Worth a try for sure!

    Bei Special Roll
    Heidi A.

    Pretty unassuming restaurant from the outside, in a strip mall in Scottsdale. The inside looked clean. The food was pretty good. I loved the sushi lunch and Bei Special Roll I got. For sushi, the price is quite affordable. -1 for the service. Just because we felt like the server kept going past us when we tried to get their attention. We waited a bit until they came and took our orders. I'd still come back though :)

    Shrimp Tempura Roll

    Fast service, really yummy ! Nice area! I got this while my boyfriend was in urgent care and the service was great !

    I was searching for a sushi spot in the area and landed on BEI as they felt like they had the most variety of sushi rolls and options. When I arrived at night, the parking/shopping area it's located in seems very sketch as it's super dark and they are the only establishment opened at night. Creepy and not great vibes. While it was a full restaurant, it seems to be a bit run down which gives it a hole in the wall feel. The food though was delicious and I would come back to try some of the other sushi rolls as I ordered it to go. I ordered three rolls including BEI Special Roll, Tropicana Roll, and Spicy scallop roll. All were good and would get them again.

    Gyoza
    Ally J.

    Really good, fresh sushi! I like my sushi with lots of flavors and sauces and this place has that. We didn't go for happy hour but def will in the future as I saw some of the rolls we picked are on their extensive HH menu. Food was delicious and came out quick. We ordered extra sauces and everything was so flavorful. The rolls we tried were: baked Alaska roll, Vegas roll and hot night roll. The Vegas roll was my favorite :). Ambiance is nothing too special but that doesn't bother me since I was looking for fresh, yummy and comforting sushi!!!

    We came here with family on 2/24. The sushi was good as well as the prices. We will certainly come back when we are next time in town.

    Denise K.

    Tired this place due to the reviews. The place is a little hole in the wall, which we don't mind. Service was slow even though it wasn't crowded. Agree with most, the sushi is average.

    Are food photos in date order? I don't see any for 2022. The first few were from 2017!! :) Trying to get an idea of the quality and portion size.

    I've been going here regularly for the last 8 years and the quality and portion size has always been consistent.

    When and what time is happy hour?

    Happy hour is everyday from 4:30-7pm & again from 9-11pm.

    Popped into this place for our last meal before leaving AZ and it did not disappoint! We were the…read morefirst people in. When we walked in it had a very fishy smell, so it kind of made us second guess our choice. But we went for it anyhow. The greeter/server was very pleasant and sat us. It was very clean inside with ample space between seat. We browsed through the menu and started with our usual edamame and pot stickers. The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had. The musubi was giant to say the least, it was good, but offered a bit too much rice. Overall the food and service was great and we were very happy that we ended up here!

    On a Sunday evening, after checking out the Desert Botanical Garden, I was looking for some food in…read morethe area. I came across Zu Izakaya and it's great reviews as one of the options. I love Japanese food so my decision was made. I drove over and parked in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (3.5/5): I've been to Japan and there are plenty of izakayas there. Think of them as small bars which often serve solid food. Zu fits that bit. It's a relatively small restaurant, probably seats about 30 people. and it's pretty no frills for a Japanese spot. I was seated at a booth in the corner of the restaurant. They have free WiFi which is always a good touch. Service (3/5): Service was friendly, though a bit inconsistent. My waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. The type of service where you have to flag them down to get what you want and to close out. Drinks (4/5): Zu has a nice menu of Japanese and Korean beverages, including sake, soju, Japanese beer, and more. With that being said, I just had an iced green tea. Food (4/5): I got a nice variety. I went with the Japanese sausage off of the grill menu, the OBI mayo roll off of the sushi menu, and the cheese corn off of the appetizer menu. Let's start with the sausage. It's a small item, two small sausages, but absolutely delicious. The sausage was bursting with flavor and basted in a sweet sauce. Minus the portion size, perfection. The cheese corn also hit the spot, but the execution was off. The corn is served on a hot platter, and unfortunately some of the corn on the edges was badly burnt. The type of situation where they should start over. Which they didn't. Lastly, the OBI mayo roll is essentially a California roll with marinated warm shrimp on top in a mayo sauce. I didn't love the hot and cold combo (shrimp and sushi), but outside of the temperature, it was a delicious roll. All in all, a very food meal. My only gripe with Japanese food is that it can get expensive quick. Given that Zu is in Tempe, I was hoping that prices would be a little cheaper. With that being said, they do have a solid happy hour (and reverse happy hour) with both food and drink specials. Next time I stop by, I'd like to check out some of their Korean options. I focused on the Japanese stuff this time (which makes the majority of the menu). Next time around, the bulgogi is calling my name!

Overall, the place has a fun vibe with lots of string lights and Japanese decorations. They have happy hour twice a day. We came during their 9-11PM happy hour (we love a late night happy hour!) Lots of options for sushi, drinks, and appetizers on the happy hour menu. The spicy tuna roll was a refreshing roll with just the spicy tuna, cucumber and rice. A simple roll that still has a good spicy flavor but not too overpowering that it takes over your meal. The Vegas roll is a classic if you like fried rolls! Can't go wrong with this one. The nigiri was top notch. The yellowtail nigiri quite literally melts in your mouth and the flavors are buttery and soft. It's my personal favorite whenever I want nigiri. The salmon nigiri was also very good. Slights sweet but if you add soy sauce it balances it out. The jjambong pot was so filling. We ate this after the sushi. It's enough to be shared with 2-3 people and includes a mix of some seafoods, enoki mushrooms, onions, and ramyeon with a spicy broth. The noodles were good, the broth was delicious and not too spicy if you're not a person that handles spice well. My only complaint is that we had about 6-7 mussels but only 2 pieces of shrimp. It would've been nice to have a more even distribution of the seafood but other than that the taste was amazing. With the happy hour it was incredibly affordable. Even without the happy hour I would definitely come here again. 10/10!!

    What I got: Bulgogi with side rice…read more Seaweed salad Miso soup Wasn't a lot of meat on my Bulgogi dish was a small square skillet and I was mostly of onions and some zucchini pieces. I decided to try their miso soup which was not bad tasted like the packets you get from the grocery store, but at least they had seaweed and tofu in it compared to other places, the seaweed salad tasted pretty fresh they don't give you too much of it they put a bunch of lettuce underneath it so it makes it seem like there's more at first my friend got the plate and some parts kinda tasted raw, but he didn't care much since he likes it either way but then again I was supposed to be a cooked dish so. I had gotten a draft beer to start with and for some reason it was warm so that was very un appetizing but then I got a bottled beer and it was cold. I don't recommend draft. This place has gone through a name change in the last few months and have removed a lot of of the stuff from the old menu went to see the difference was told that they kept the same quality as it is the same owner as before, but honestly to me the only thing that seems like the quality stayed the same was the oysters. Everything else seems that gone down a bit and the portion seems really small now some things are priced decently and some things are overpriced and we can't forget to mention how bad it smells in here like sewage. There's so many restaurants like this which is the problem like I don't need to come here and there was nothing memorable about it and it's a pretty far drive from me so I probably won't be coming back
