Was HIGHLY disappointed. Clearly this place isn't the best for sashimi. Ordered a sashimi and a healthier roll (rainbow roll). While the roll was good & fresh. The tuna sashimi was the exact opposite, it did not feel fresh at all and we had just taken one bite of the piece, almost like frozen and had a fishy smell and taste to it, that's something one would not clearly want to consume. I was super disappointed, thought would take it home and let it sit for a bit, but, was too skeptical and the smell got little stronger just 5-6 mins of a car ride back home and just had to get rid of it. Not sure if will go back again..

We walked in a weekday night and found the dining area quite small and full, except for their final open table next to the entrance. We took that spot and found out 'the hard way' they have those dastardly uncomfortable metal chairs. Not only is the seat firm and not cushioned, the bar that wraps around pinches in on your hip. We almost left but decided to tough it out. Our server was attentive and friendly and our order came out quite quickly. We ordered a few specialty rolls like their sweet potato roll, dragon roll and caterpillar roll. I also ordered a salmon sashimi. All of the rolls were well presented and best of all, tasty! It's not near the best sushi I've had, but it filled the craving we had. The wall murals and decor were simple but classy. We also noticed the noise level was good despite many people in a small space. Overall, this is a nice little neighborhood spot for sushi and worth a visit!

I don't remember hearing any music, but the overall atmosphere was more of a modern Asian vibe. The restaurant is on the smaller side, with high-top tables, a bar area, sushi counter seating, booths, and regular tables. When it's crowded, the seating can feel a little tight. The biggest downside was the service. It took quite a while to get our drinks and our food, even after the restaurant started clearing out and there were only a few tables left. They seemed to have several servers working, so the wait was a little surprising. That being said, once we got our food, our refills came when needed, which was appreciated because I like to have plenty of drinks with sushi. The food was decent, but I've definitely had better sushi for a better price. I'd give the food around 3.5/5. For what we paid, I expected a little more, especially considering there are places with better quality at a lower cost. Sushi prices in general seem to be getting pretty high. Sushi is usually our go-to after a long day of wrestling, and I do appreciate that Sushi Creek was one of the later places still open when we were looking for somewhere to eat. Overall, it was an okay experience, but it's not a place I'd rush back to. If you're looking for sushi and this fits what you're wanting, it's an option, but I wouldn't say it's a must-visit.

It was a little loud in the restaurant so it was kind of hard to hear each other but that's ok because they were pretty full so that's to be expected.

I had two pieces of the caterpillar roll before asking if they could take it off the bill because it was so chewy I couldn't eat it. They said no because "they can't please everyone".

Tempura Takeover did not disappoint. We ordered outside at the food truck and they brought the food into the bar. I got the sloppy lobster burger. Hubby got two bulgogi tacos and a side of fries. There were no prices on the menu, but the total without tip was $48. My lobster burger was divine--chunks of tempura lobster, perfectly, cooked. I'm not going to guess what was in either sauce but they were both excellent and made the dish. Fries were solid. Downsides, it was about a 30 minute wait, which was clearly communicated. We got there about 5 minutes after open and there was a small line. There's probably strategy to make it go faster--get there at open or 30 to 45 minutes after. Food seemed to come out fast after the initial rush. Also, i would have liked ketchup as an option for the fries.

(hint: need this in stores!) I got the shrimp taco and the bulgogi taco. The shrimp taco was my favorite! The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and there was plenty of it. The tempura had a great crunch and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy. It's definitely on my top tacos list and I'll be popping by whenever I can. I'm already craving it again!

We eat at Moon China Chinese Restaurant frequently. The food is always good - you can tell they use high quality ingredients. I especially like their beef dishes because there is never any fat on the meat, in fact it's melt-in-your-mouth tender. My husband loves their egg drop soup, and their cheese wontons are the best ever! The owner Dan and wait staff are very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant is sparkling clean and has a nice atmosphere. The decor is a soothing blue and green combination which I enjoy - it's different from the usual Chinese restaurant. They have a thriving to-go business, but we enjoy eating there. I highly recommend you give Moon China a try. read more

Moon China used to be a staple for my family, unfortunately that isn't going to be the case anymore, a few months ago things started to change. They have a new staff and it appears new recipes for my old favorites. Nothing tastes the same and nothing is as good as it used to be, the hot and sour soup is more sour than anything, the orange chicken is chewy and bland. I may eventually give it one more try for old times sake but if things are as poor as they have been I will find another Asian food destination! read more

Be sure to come during lunch time, you get alot of food for about 6 bucks each. I always take some away after I'm done. Love the orange chicken however I can NEVER reheat it, if I do it is chewy chicken inside of soggy breading. Luckily its tasty enough fresh that I seldom have extra. If you're looking for a good asian meal served quickly by pleasant staff then give this place a try. read more

Despite serving fish, seafood, and sushi, the restaurant doesn't smell fishy at all (which is much appreciated). Since it just opened in 2026, the dining area is clean, well-stocked with utensils and sauces, and still smells fresh. For my fellow fluffy patrons, there's a mix of bench and chair seating, and the tables can be moved around. A couple of tips: They serve Pepsi fountain drinks, but also have 20 oz. bottles if you prefer. The $11.99 lunch special, available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., is your best bet for value. My only real gripe is the number of upcharges. I ordered a $10.99 chicken bowl that came out to $15.97 after extras; for going large ($1.50), brown rice ($0.99), half veggies ($1.00), and white meat ($1.49). These add-ons can really drive up the price, so double-check your choices when ordering. Overall, Yogi's is a good addition to the far east valley, with friendly service and hot, accurate food.

I ordered a dragon roll, and my wife ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl. The taste was acceptable, on par with similar restaurants, and the portions were ample. The chicken in the teriyaki bowl had a good flavor, and the teriyaki sauce was nice. The eel sauce on the sushi was too sweet, the rice had a strange texture, and the accompanying wasabi and ginger packets were just a joke. Even with gas station and grocery store sushi, you get real wasabi paste and ginger slices. I found out too late that you have to ask for the soy sauce. The restaurant was clean and brightly lit. The customer service was responsive and friendly. We both felt that the food quality was not as high as the prices. We've had better food quality at other places for less money. The lunch menu is a good deal, only a couple of dollars more than a McDonald's Big Mac combo. However, Asian-type food is sparse in San Tan Valley, and this wasn't bad. All in all, we would come back.

There were few dishes I feel that could've been better because they weren't as fresh or hot as they could be. Leaving me to think they may have been sitting out too long.

The selection of food as a whole was still very limited as well as there was only like 5-6 sections to go to. And the Mongolian Grill was fantastic. Just like what I said earlier though, it is limited with what it offers. But it still is very good and I made sure to leave a tip too for the chef as he earned it. The overall ambiance could be better as the place feels very outdated. The bathrooms have graffiti on the stalls as well as the mirror. The floor felt a bit dirty too and needs to be cleaned as well as the windows. Service overall was good as they did do a good job cleaning up our plates constantly. In the end, it is a good buffet and I love how they send out coupons now and then too which is even better. But it could be better if the reasons I stated above are addressed.
