    I went here for a solo birthday celebration and to use my bday coupon. I am happy they changed all of the restrictions on it. Anyway, I made a reservation so when I arrived I was immediately seated with a couple and a family. The hostess was nice and welcoming. We ordered drinks and they made it out to us in a timely manner. I got the white peach sake sangria. It was delicious! We all ordered our food and that's when things got a little frustrating. We waited about 45 minutes for the cook to come out. But when he did, he was great. He was funny and nice. The food was delicious! I got the steak dinner with spicy chicken fried rice. The manager did give a discount on our bills and came to apologize, which was nice. The place was lively. It was crowded and a lot of people were trying to get a table. I suggest making a reservation. Overall, it was a decent experience. It was my first time dining alone at a teppanyaki restaurant so I didn't know they'd seat me at a random table. I am glad they did. The people I was seated with were amazing. Can't wait to come back!

    Starting us off with the welcoming.

    No matter what anyone says, this is a wonderful place to eat. It takes patience because the wait is long. But that's because everyone wants to eat here. It's a fun, entertaining, playful environment. Ricky was our chef. He was welcoming, playful, inviting, and truly a wonderful chef. I'll be sending him a thank you card.

    I enjoying stopping in to grab fried rice to enjoy at home. This Thursday night is busy with Birthday parties at the hibachi grill tables. Everyone singing the birthday song of course I sang along. They have added hibachi burritos to the menu and they've several promotions I've received via email. That's what brung me here this evening.

    Was shopping in Chandler Mall, and got super delayed, couldnt make reservations so just walked up to the receptionist and wanted to check if they took walk ins. Luckily it was just the two of us and it was around 8:30pm. Well, never been here, so this was a hit or miss for us. Heard alot of mixed reviews of this place. I think it also counts with the chef that you get. the chef we got, Chef Ricky was fantastic. There was only another couple on our table, but, we had a ball of a time, the chef was fun and very interactive. I, unfortunately have developed shellfish and egg allergies and everyone else had ordered egg fried rice, but, the chef was very innovative and made a special garlicy sauce for the steamed rice i was given. the A5 wagyu was cooked to perfection. I was provided with options of tofu or extra veggies, the tofu was spectacular! Over all quite a good experience for last minute walk in! Do try their sherbet ice cream and their dragon fruit cocktail as well.

    Updated review-- still 5 stars for me :)…read more Tonight we went to dinner hosted by the Tasting Collective (a dining club I joined last year). The menu was 5 courses prix fixe designed by the head chef for this group. The restaurant was closed as a private event. Service was excellent, the food was also so delicious, and cocktails were great too. Shimogamo is one of the few Japanese restaurants in the valley that remind me of eating Japanese food in Japan. It's well prepared, fresh, and high quality. The cocktails are creative and nods to Japan with delicate flavors and unique ingredients. Our courses were: started with the truffle amberjack which is a flavor bomb, very rich and truffle forward. Which I don't always enjoy but when paired with amberjack, it was great. 2nd course was a nigiri plate- 4 choices: sea bream (which I love), a fancy type salmon, toro, and couple pieces of the wagyu roll. Next onto a darn near perfect crab croquet that was creamy with big pieces of crab and perfectly fried, and main course was K4 ranch Wagyu from Prescott. Very buttery and delicious. We ended with a matcha basque cheesecake. The chefs talked about the food, answered questions, and talked about their background. It was an enjoyable dinner and we will be back for the "oysters and cocktails" hour they were promoting. I love both of those things.

When it first opened, the sushi was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and one of my favorite spots. Unfortunately, with each name change, the quality seems to have slipped a little. The food is still good, but it's not what it used to be. There were also several service issues during our most recent visit. After our table was cleared, we waited over 30 minutes just to get our check. We also had to ask three separate times before we finally received wasabi. A couple of menu issues stood out as well. The surf and turf roll had a sweet sauce on it that wasn't mentioned on the menu, which was unexpected. We also requested eel sauce on only half of one sushi roll, but it was put on the entire roll instead. The restaurant is clean, has a nice atmosphere, and the staff was friendly, which is why I'm giving it three stars instead of less. I genuinely want this place to succeed because I remember how great it was when it first opened. I'm hoping they can improve the consistency, pay closer attention to special requests, and get back to the quality that made this one of my favorite sushi spots.

The restaurant is fairly large, and seems like a lot of people like coming here for family/friend dinners. Like the name insists, the teppanyaki is the way to go. Their menu isn't that large, so it was pretty easy to make a decision. I opted for the filet mignon (rare) along with shrimp. Teppanyaki is really more of a show/experience, so the food comes out to you in sections (versus all at once like at a traditional restaurant). The filet was so soft, and was perfectly rare, and the shrimp was so good. I think in the future I'd eat a whole plate of shrimp. I also got to try the yakiniku, and that was also pretty good but very sweet. Their Boo Yah Ka roll was also pretty yummy. It's essentially a spring roll, but with some spice and citrus to it. I felt that the portion was good for a large meal, but my friend who got the chef's combo definitely had enough for leftovers.

While we were waiting they sat another 4 with us. We all expected dinner & a "show", but none of us expected the show we got. One of the staff started screaming at another staff member. We had no idea what the female staff member was saying since her words were not in English. She was so loud & screaming in the bar area so the entire restaurant could hear her. A couple of staff members tried to claim her dow. This went on for several minutes. It was crazy. All us customers were silent & just looking at the girl screaming & yelling. The next thing we know, round two. It was unbelievable. What was even crazier was they didn't send the staff member home! No one came over & said a word. No one apologized or said anything. After all of this, they sat couple with us. Finally the chef came to the table. By this time it was 20 til 6:00. Hubby got the filet with fried rice. I got the shrimp with fried rice. The food was good. However, hubby's steak was over cooked. Thankfully, hubby told the chef he wanted to change the steak from medium to medium rare, or it would have been even more over cooked. I also watch all of the employees but one prepping the food without gloves. This used to be our go to place for, but now with all this issues this time, we will probably have to find a new place.

Ordered Geso Yaki (fried squid legs) and gal recommended Tantan ramen if I I like spicy. Geso Yaki came and looked pretty good with some side sweet dipping sauce. It's not really just squid legs had other parts of squid which I didn't mind. It tasted pretty good with slight crisp to it.. Batter had some seasoning which made it tastier. Then my ramen came.. Looked pretty good but portion looked small. But then again for costing $14 can't complain. Broth was nice and hearty and I couldn't quite figure out the flavor. Then I read the description and it said sesame.. Then it made little more sense of the flavor. I definitely would not call it spicy. Ramen noodle was nice and chewy just the way I like it.. Only thing I didnt like was the pork. It was not bad but I prefer the fatty melt in your mouth kind with my ramen. Over all the food was pretty darn good and price was on point. I would definitely come back here again.

Literal poop in the toilet and on the wall. On a side note, I don't know if the A/C was out, or if they always have fans going and no A/C. We were there in mid July with 115 outside and they only had multiple cooling fans blowing inside the restaurant. This was our first time trying Hon Machi, we will not be back. Don't waste your time or money and avoid this place.
