We tried this place for the first time last night and will definitely be back! The food was delicious and our server (Katie) was excellent! I had the teriyaki salmon and it was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend had the Korean beef stir fry but told them to hold the chili since he doesn't care for spicy food and he loved it. Very reasonable priced too. I wish I would have gotten pics. We aren't sushi people but they have a sushi counter with a sushi chef for this who are. Will definitely be back! read more

This is our favorite local sushi place. It has a laidback atmosphere, friendly servers, and fast service. My kids (ages 10 & 15) like to sit at the bar to watch the chefs prepare the sushi rolls. It's a casual sushi restaurant to grab a bite to eat without being too expensive. My son raved about the unagi sashimi and got two more pieces, and my daughter likes the teriyaki chicken. read more

I love coming to Eastwind everytime I crave sushi because it never dissapoints. My go to is the baked crab roll and the way the cream cheese melts with the rest of the roll is exquisite. Gyoza is also a must every single time I order from here, even through UberEats! The service is always friendly and I've come to recognize the lovely staff that operate this eatery I will always recommend this place! read more

If I could give this place zero I would. Food was terrible!!!!!! We ordered the spicy tuna roll,gyoza,seaweed salad , veggie spring rolls and the teriyaki beef nothing tasted like anything . It all taste the same bland! No flavor at all. The teriyaki beef seemed reheated. Their server was nice but she whispered the entire time. read more

I love place where the chef and/or owner is humble. Just go eat there. Try it. The owner took tradition and jazzed it up a little for western pallet but not too much. It's sooo good. We tried Dragon roll Teriyaki Chicken Tonkatsu Ramen All of it was good and the portion size of each dish was filling. Gyoza was a great appetizer. read more

The ambiance is the same as all the other sushi restaurants I have been to. It was calm and relaxing. The service was ok. The server seems shy but I feel in time she will come out of her shell. The food took some time considering I only seen 1 chef behind the counter. BUT..., The sushi was well worth the wait. The presentation was beautiful. The taste was delicious. The ramen egg noodles nice and bouncy. Good texture. The broth was tasty. I will be definitely be returning the next time I'm in town. Highly recommended. read more

Always the best sushi. Wonderful people that own this establishment very fresh, very delicious more people should try this place out!

Let me tell you about this place! We've been here a lot! If you haven't read my previous reviews!, you're missing out! I cannot add much to our fabulous date night other than to say what an incredible server we had tonight! Her name is Halle and we were blown away with her service! We were shocked when she said she's new! Her attention to detail made our night a step above what we were expecting! read more

We go here every week. Amazing sushi. Even better service. Jason is an awesome artist. He makes the best sushi in Arizona. You should go! Great environment and even better service! Holly is a great server, so nice! I recommend the nude roll or any sushi on the menu. Great grilled entrees as well! Thank you Eastwind! read more

Great happy hour specials but would not recommend getting any nigiri sushi nor the sunomono (cucumber salad here. You can actually taste that the fish was previously frozen and have been defrosted. Rice was so cold and hard that the sushi did not stick to the rice and the sushi did not sit on it properly. They also score their nigiri which was super weird. As soon as they brought out the sunomono, I knew it was gonna taste funky by the color of it. Did not taste anything like a traditional sunomono and was non-edible. Rolls weren't bad, decently priced but nothing special that I would want to go back for more. Tonkotsu ramen was okay, again nothing special, bland but edible. They also do not have targashi (Japanese chili flakes) for the ramen. Food and drinks came out to about $80, tipped the super nice server $20 because she was the sweetest but I won't be back here. read more

My "soy-mate" decided she wanted sushi closer to our homes (N. Glendale) so we found this option with the "surprise me" link on Yelp (which I love, btw!!). We arrived in time for happy hour, (it's from 4-7pm) and so we had the seaweed salad, the gyoza, and some edamame to start. All three of these were smaller bites (unsure if they are bigger not on HH) but perfect for starters. The seaweed salad was good, could have used a little more bounce, but the flavor was great. The gyoza tasty too - smaller, and very fresh tasting, and the edamame had large salt crystals - which I'm a fan of. She ordered a teriyaki bowl, and we split 4 rolls - the Booty booty, caterpillar, the nude, and a Philly roll. They brought out ginger and wasabi without us asking which was nice, and they had both regular soy and low sodium on the table. Our server didn't offer anything else (although did ask if we needed anything a few times throughout our meal) and so felt the service was OK. Not spectacular- but not bad. My water was re-filled twice (I drink a lot of water when I have sushi) so it was fine, but she was quiet soft spoken and not very lively. The place was cute! It was pretty open and not busy for HH and into the evening (we sat and caught up for a while!). Pretty quiet and not a lot of bothering us. It wasn't until we were leaving that we saw this super cute photo wall and we had to snap the pic before leaving. Another lovely woman offered to take the photo of us, but I'm a selfie gal so sharing my fave. They had some great roll packages that if she wasn't getting a bowl, we'd have considered, seems great for splitting. Also had some noodles, udon, a great variety overall - so I'll be back to try some of these! All in all, tasty and will return, especially given it being so close to us and want to try some of their noodles too... plus more of their specialty rolls - first time I've had one with hot Cheeto crumbles on top! read more

Honestly, the best sushi restaurant on the west side of town. My sister's family came into town from Korea and we decided to come here. We ordered nigiri special and special rolls like booty booty, Climax and more. The presentation and the taste of sushi and rolls all blend very well together. You could taste the freshness and quality of fish. Highly would recommend read more

Can't wait to come back. Service was great. Lots of good recommendations and a sweet smile on our waitress. The happy hour sushi was regular portion. Not tiny like other restaurants. We order the basics for HH. Cucumber salad, avocado roll, CA roll and some gyoza. All was delicious. Ordered the new item on the sushi menu. A roll called Ole Smokey. The flavors were complicated and fabulous! Love that we found a great spot so close to home. read more

Took my mother in law here tonight for some Sushi and possible ramen based on prior reviews. The place is cute and has a good menu! I'm pretty neutral to trying new things which this menu did not disappoint. Service was prompt and Attentive. We ordered the Philly sushi roll to begin then split the hataka ramen and the red dragon roll. YUM! Will be back - check this place out! read more

Eastwind Sushi & Grill - Naked roll - Japanese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I have been coming to East Wind for about three years now. On our most recent trip I was encourage to do a review! Three years in the making! I absolutely love this place, it's neighborhood place meets high quality food and staff. It's my go to sushi place now and really any time I've been to other ones I found myself wishing I had just gone here. You even get a little complimentary ice cream after your meal! My go to favorites are the Lion King roll and the orange blossom. So good, flavorful, and fresh! The lion king has smoked salmon on top and it's just perfection. They also serve other dishes like yakisoba and that is also very good. Their gyoza is great. Just everything's great. In all my three years of being here I have never left disappointed, and that alone is worth 5 stars! read more

Update- More effort put into excuses on Yelp for not providing even a tiny modicum of customer service. Also, sad to say, lies. I was literally just stared out by non motivated employees including the owner when I entered. No greeting, no acknowledgment until I really made the effort to get one. Not to worry, I will never again interrupt your clock watching (and misinterpretation. ) According to other reviews the sushi sounds pretty suspect so honestly glad I didn't risk getting sick. Laziness and sushi prep are a bad combination, attitude and lack of care are very apparent. Again, gross. Better off getting at the grocery store! Original- Classic Arizona trash attitude. Sign says open until 9. I walk in just past 8. 3 employees just stand and stare. I try to be friendly bc I wanted to support business. 40 minutes to close and they can't be bothered to seat. Lazy. Change your sign and don't whine when your business doesn't do well. Gross. read more

I tried out their fire pork bulgogi, cucumber salad, and Angry tuna roll. Overall, it was a lot of money for little food: it cost $41.25 after tax and tip. The food itself was pretty good except for the cucumber salad. The service was amiable enough and the place was quiet and clean. read more

Great local restaurant. There is no wait and their sushi and other dishes are delicious.

This was our first time trying Eastwind and it was great. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered a lot! Gyoza and tempura shrimp to start- both yummy. Then we ordered a California roll, Lion King Roll, Sedona Roll, baked Scallop Roll and two piece of salmon Row. All were very good! I wouldn't order the salmon roe again... way too salty. But everything else was fantastic- will absolutely return! read more

We went with the gold dragon, munchy, sadona, and red rock. All 4 of our rolls were fabulous. I would recommend every single one of them but I think my favorite was the red rock. One of my friends left saying this maybe his favorite sushi place in Glendale, and I would agree they are absolutely a contender. The service was wonderful m. Such a big fan of this place, and will be back. read more

Eastwind Sushi & Grill - Chicken Katsu - Japanese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Always a great experience, whether it's take-out or dining in! Been around a long time! Good NE Phoenix location!

This place is my favorite sushi spot on the west side of the valley. I first discovered it when my wife and I were looking for a place to eat ramen. They had a few option for ramen and it was SO good. Saw the sushi on the menu and knew we needed to come here next for sushi. When we came back the sushi was super tasty as well. For the combination of good food, great service and great prices, this place is #1! Would recommend to anyone. read more

I love everything about this place . Food is delicious and not overpriced. The owner and everyone working there are so friendly and attentive. I actually stop and eat with my daughter a few times per week as she loves the avocado rolls. I tried many options and never got disappointed. It's not just a place to get food for us but also to chat and connect with people working there. This is customer experience not just customer service read more

Eastwind Sushi & Grill - Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I have lived in the neighborhood right behind Eastwind Sushi for over 5 years now and I can't tell you what has kept me from eating here. I have been missing out this whole time! Stopped in here for dinner recently and it was great all the way around. Our server was very attentive and sweet. He helped us when we could not decide between dishes. He got our son's Gyoza out to him right away. My son liked his meal so much that we got him a second plate AND he finished that one too! My husband and I could not decide between Sushi or Ramen so we had both and I am glad we did. Now we know that we can crush either craving because both were excellent. There were 2 couples next to us having dinner and all 4 ordered the Chicken Katsu and it looked so good. So we will now have to come back and try that next time. I just have to say I am so glad we finally stopped in, now we have a place that can fix almost any craving we have and we live right down the road. read more

Perfect lunch spot. The cuisine is a bit of of Korean and Japanese fusion. The baked muscles were delicious! Had the spicy beef stir fried with vegetables, it needed a bit more salt for my taste. But I had a few rolls that did not disappoint. And they give you ice cream after your meal. read more

Stopped in here for a quick lunch. We were hoping for bento box but didn't see it on the menu. We opted for lunch bowls (chicken and chicken katsu) and chose combo option to add sushi rolls. The sushi was really good. Freshly made and the rice was cooked to perfection. The miso soup it came with was perfectly seasoned and came out hot. Really enjoyed them. The chicken katsu bowl was exactly as anyone would expect. It was served over rice and the sauce was smothered over the katsu. Wish they had served the sauce on the side, so next time we'll remember to ask. The chicken teriyaki bowl had option of dark or light meat. I enjoy juicy meat so I opted for dark meat. However, it came out really dry and over cooked. I hope this is an isolated case. I will update when I get another chance to try it. Everything was really good except for the chicken teriyaki. read more

Went here for lunch last Saturday and had an amazing meal. One thing I would want people to be aware of is that they are only taking reservations. We didn't know until we got there but they were able to help us. They have great lunch and happy hour specials. We always leave full and happy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good lunch spot on the North side of Phoenix. read more

Had lunch here. Ordered some sashimi and a Cali roll. It was just okay. I went in hoping they had a lunch special and they did not. Service was good. But nothing special. read more

Unfortunately , our visit tonight was very disappointing. The service was very slow and inattentive. We had to ask multiple times for things and the experience was greatly diminished as a result. The sashimi and nigiri seemed fresh and moist. The rolls on the other hand, were dry and seemed old. The tuna was even darkening. Not what I am used to when ordering the Hurricane combo ($75) here. The owner was not there this evening either, and when she is there we notice a significant difference in the quality of the food and service. It is normally excellent. The restaurant was clean and we were able to get some of the game on the tv after asking for it to be put on multiple times. read more

This place was the worst restaurant I've eaten in Arizona. First of all me and my wife and 2 guest waited for an hour and a half on our food. When we got our food they had messed up on my wife's order and when we tried to ask if we can switch the order, our waitress looked at me like It was my fault that our order was messed up. They definitely were short staffed and didn't have enough help unfortunately we will not be coming back read more
