    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.

    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!

    All the rolls taste the same, so much sauce.

    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.

    She's my SOY-mate

    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!

    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.

    Red dragon roll

    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!

    Perfectly portion Philly roll!

    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!

    Naked roll
    Natalie B.

    Obsessed with Eastwind sushi! I love the naked roll! Everything is very reasonable in price and the food tastes amazing!

    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.

    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.

    5 Gyoza
    Sarah S.

    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!

    California Roll

    The food is great, the service is awesome! The ambiance is posh. We love this place and try to stop by every Saturday since we discovered Eastwind.

So we decided on Ah-So and so blown away. First we were greeted and got to pick where ever we wanted to sit which was great, but we didn't expect the stream with Fish!! It was so cool to see that! We loved it. We always love seeing an attraction like this so it already bumped it up. Secondly I havent been into any Miso soups lately no matter where I have gone, it just hasn't done it for me. This changed today. I enjoyed and loved the taste of the tofu behind my combo meal, Dad also got one. I got the Chicken Katsu and Dad got the Teriyaki Chicken combo. We hadn't expected the miso soup to be added to it so that was a plus. The food was amazing! Dad loved the grilled taste and how the vegetables were grilled with the chicken and you could taste it. I loved the tempura and the crunch of the Katsu. All in all amazing. Something we really loved was the fact that it feels comfortable here. The set up of the restaurant made us so relaxed and it didn't feel too modern or pretentious it just was perfect like going to the local Japanese place in Japan. Highly highly recommend. The lunch combos were also all 18 bucks even on weekends! We will be back to try the teppanyaki and the teriyaki salmon when we are able.

    This place is nice. They accommodated our big party of 17. Everyone ordered a wide variety of food…read moreand appetizers. It was all good. If I could say one thing or suggest. Garlic butter I felt is a must in hibachi. I think that was the only thing that was missing in this food. But overall I would be back.

The restaurant itself is definitely on the smaller side but they also have outdoor dining as an option. This is what one would call a hidden gem because we were definitely not disappointed as we were walking away. Once you sit down you'll realize that this is a restaurant where you're having several random servers taking care of you. So once we finally decided on our choices everything came out fairly quickly even with there being a half full restaurant. We started with some pork gyozas which is one of my husband's favorites & he was happily pleased... they were very fresh. We also had some of the tempura shrimp & onion which were both perfectly cooked without being greasy. As for the sushi we went with the shrimp tempura roll which was some of the best, the rice was cooked perfect plus everything was balanced just right. Then we also had the spider roll which I just loved because I love soft shell crab... OMG with the avocado & cream cheese, there were zero complaints on my end! Overall everything that we chose was so delicious that we've since been back to grab take away from here when we're craving some fresh sushi!

    Been here a few times and they've made a few changes I don't love. First off, they have replaced…read morecucumbers for lettuce. Just an odd change since the cost is low on both. Traditional sushi does not have lettuce...bad sushi places and grocery stores use lettuce. Second, the head chef seems to have let an apprentice take on the omakase. This completely changes the experience. I don't like the cheese on sushi and having it served by a backup guy just doesn't do it. Used to love this place but questioning their direction. Great news, they have replaced the lettuce with cucumber! Maybe chef got some negative feedback.

We asked about the fish of the day and special fish which happened to be the same, mackerel, the day we went. Interestingly, the servers had no idea about the fish aspects of the menu and everything was deferred to the sushi chefs. Ordered a few temaki (hand rolls) - yellowtail and spicy tuna- and they were tasty! All the nigiri we ordered were fresh without fishiness, and had generous portions for the price. Nice to have fresh wasabi which had a nice kick and sweetness. Thoroughly enjoyed these nigiri: seared black cod, ocean trout, hamachi/yellowtail, unagi. Yuzu & rainbow rolls had super appetizing sauces. Ordered the uni from Japan which was supposed to be sweeter than creamier but this one was very distasteful for me, had a strong scent like saliva, and I was unable to tolerate it.
