The purple rice was a nice surprise! Fresh fish very nicely prepared for takeout. Love that they lined the takeout box with foil, and added the grass separators between nigiri - super considerate! Seemed to be pretty popular for weekday lunch. Will be back! read more

Part of our annual trip to Arizona. Blessed to be in town for the 2025 AAE Arizona Cup again this year. This makes the third trip to Echo. Sweet folks and the food is solid. The restaurants is in a strip mall and is small but decorated higher end. Very clean. Lots of parking. Easy in and out. Amazing as we looked back and almost ordered the same thing again I did stay with the shrimp fried rice as it is just so good. I wasn't able to finish it all. We also had an Ultimate Dragon roll which so scrumptious. Joe swapped to the shrimp fried rice this year. Service is great as always and super attentive. Sweet folks. read more

Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Sushi was okay. The salmon sashimi was very mushy. The poki bowl had a ton of greens... I did like the purple rice in the bowl. read more

Sushi was just okay, I liked that it had purple rice so it's healthier but there was zero sushi vinegar in the rice whatsoever, fish quality alright read more

Always great service, good, fresh menu selection and presentation. Never had a bad meal been coming here since they opened

We were looking to try a new spot for lunch on Thursday and came across Echo Sushi. We decided to check it out and so glad we did. The menu has some really great options. I settled instantly on the Dumpling Ramen which was on their Specials list for the day. We also ordered egg rolls and the spicy pork. Service was great throughout our lunch. The location is small, but didn't feel too cramped. The ramen has some amazing flavor, was spicy and the dumplings were delicious. It didn't have any huge veggies etc in it, but honestly it was perfect as is. The egg rolls were crispy and so good. The pork was ok, but portion was small. If it had not included rice, gyoza etc I think my husband would've been starving. Next time we'll have to try some sushi. read more

Always delicious. Their black rice makes every roll taste so good. I also love their poke bowls. One of my favorite sushi places

Wonderful fish and wild rice instead of white rice, which was really good for my glucose reading.

Our only go-to for sushi here in Phoenix! Their seafood is always fresh, presentation is superlative, prepared by our wonderful Japanese chef, and portions are generous, everything's worth the price you pay for! Service is always topnotch! Thank you, Juri and the team at Echo Sushi!!! read more

Echo is our favorite neighborhood Sushi spot! It was surprisingly high quality the first time we tried it since we hadn't seen any advertising. Now it's a common date night. Sashimi is high quality, service is great, Sushi chefs and servers are super friendly and remember us. I don't want it to get too crowded but this place is a hidden gem! read more

We were in the area shopping and happened to come across Echo Sushi. We stopped to order couple things. We had sashimi salad and calamari to share. The calamari was really crispy and delicious. It was already salty so didn't really need the accompanying dipping sauce. The sashimi salad had a pleasant dressing on it so we really didn't need soy sauce/wasabi for it. For the price we paid, it came with good amount of sashimi, however, not premium fish/cuts we hoped for. Overall decent place. I saw some ramen dishes coming out of the kitchen and those looked delicious. If you're in the area, give it a try. read more

We happened to find this little gem while we were waiting for my nephews basketball practice. So we stopped in, and let me tell you, I was very pleasantly surprised! The staff was so friendly and quick to take our order. Now the question on everyone's mind. Why is the rice... purple? Listen, I wish I knew... but what I do know is it's different, and it's delicious! It's like a long grain rice, the flavor and texture is very different than the traditional sushi rice, but somehow I felt event healthier eating it (not even sure if that's accurate but why not). The bento box was LEGIT, and SO delicious! Flavorful, well done, very happy with it and will be going again! read more

I had dinner last night with my family and have a slightly updated review. We ended up spending $140 for 3 people but I will say, the quality and quantity have improved. We ordered the garlic edamame, tempura appetizer, spicy seafood udon, two fancy rolls, and a Poke bowl with salmon. Everything was delicious and the portions were large. Service was very good as well. read more

I know everyone is struggling right now just to make it, especially restaurants, but I just was so disappointed. I had never been here and saw signs from the road about lunch specials. I walked in for a To go order and the woman at front was VERY responsive and sweet. But, she sort of hovered over me. There were only two tables eating. I was looking at the menu and thought I was looking at dinner. Everything was $20+ dollars. I wanted to leave, but she was standing there watching me so it felt rude to leave. I finally relented and got a lunch special for $10 because I wasn't wanting to spend $20+ on lunch. My major complaint is this: a lunch special should be some sort of package lunch deal. It should be a bargain. Well for $10, plus tip, I got the Vegas roll. It was not very big. No drink included. It was good, but at least include miso soup and a drink. I'm still hungry and probably won't go back just because $20 a plate is a dinner price. For lunch I just need something quick and was expecting $15 at MOST. read more

Ventured out and visited a sushi restaurant that we haven't been to before. It didn't disappoint. My tuna poke bowl was huge and they give you a generous bowl of miso soup along with it. Both were very good, maybe my favorite poke bowl in the valley. My wife had the Alaska roll and the Volcano roll. I tried both and they were both really good. I would give this place 5 stars but it is a small restaurant and a bit cramped. Others have posted that the use of purple rice instead of white gave the sushi a different texture or flavor. I didn't find that at all. The texture was that of sticky rice and there wasn't a difference in flavor. I will definitely come back and invite friends. read more

Super bummed as I used to come here pretty regularly and when I do, I ask for VERY easy substitutions (and completely fine paying a fee to do so if necessary). I asked my friend to stop by and order the Las Vegas roll for me substituting spicy tuna for salmon (which I usually pay a small fee), and the woman told my friend to order as is or not at all. He said I order it that way when I come in, and she didn't seem to care and again said no. Keep in mind you can still order online for house rolls and make WHATEVER mods you want. Good way to make that person go to the Pho place instead and also cause a regular customer to not return. Probably best to put on your "order online" menu that SUBSTITUTIONS & MODIFICATIONS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED or at least being a little polite when you refuse to allow them. read more

Beware: The sushi was TOO good, I had to ask for seconds. The ramen was huge and spicy which is great! Sometimes places will say they have spicy ramen but this place is not lying! The dine in experience was awesome. The music was really calming and the interior made me feel like I was eating Ramen in Japan. Our server was so sweet! She was definitely easy to talk to and even boxed up our leftovers for us! Too sweet! Really great first experience read more

I really used to like this place. I haven't been here in a long time because the last time I was there the prices were drastically higher (e.g. $18 for a poke bowl) and the portions are a lot smaller. The poke bowl I got had only a few pieces of fish. I know prices have gone up everywhere, but the increase at Echo is way more than other places. I hope they revisit their pricing and portion sizes and I'll be back to try it once again. read more

A variety of interesting food, with a purple rice twist. While the miso ramen was subpar-too many vegetables, an over boiled egg, and no miso taste, everything else was pretty good. The poke bowl was delicious, seafood tempura had a great variety, and the bento box was very filling and had a nice variety of items. The portion sizes here are pretty large, so worth the price. The staff here were really welcoming, and parking was easy to find because it is in a plaza. read more

This place is REALLY good. This place is also on the expensive side for a neighborhood sushi joint. I have to give them credit, the salmon Poke bowl was 100% worth the cost! Everything was fresh, textures were all perfect, and the amazing dressing they put on the greens was top-notch. We tried to go again the second day of our visit to Lake Pleasant but they were closed on Sundays. Will be happy to go back next time we are in the area!! read more

I like this place. Been here three times. Sometimes don't really know why, but I like it. A lot. Echo is a total understatement in a strip mall. Exactly where one usually finds subtlety hidden gems of culinary excellence. Never fancy, always worthy. Echo offers a limited but seriously refined sake list that over excels most fancy prime location Japanese emporiums. Pay up. It's worth it. Just going for hot in a jar? Still excellent. These folks' thing is the Forbidden (purple) rice in place of usual Asian white. Takes a moment to adjust to the visual presentation, but worthy of the effort. High protein, fiber, and flavor. Just do it. Sushi and sashimi offerings are a fairly usual fare. Nothing to complain about. Period. Ala carte sushi seems somewhat high priced. And that's my usual Japanese go to. But, shop the menu a bit. My $35 cherashi sashimi bowl offered more than I've paid twice as much for in a fancy joint. Same for my wife's Echo Special nigiri/roll plate. One personal disappoint. Gyoza is fried. Gyoza should always be steamed. The fried things are a Chinese potsticker option. Don't get me wrong here, they were totally satisfying with a great tasting filling and an awesome dipping sauce, but..... Want to try the tempura sometime. Tempura prep is always a make or break issue for a Japanese theme restaurant. No opinion here. No knowledge yet. Excellent service. Not obsequious, but thorough and professional. Don't hesitate to give Echo a try. read more

This is a great place to the sushi is soooo good! The place is very comfortable and the service is impeccable. They are very friendly. They use predominantly brown rice on their fills, which surprised us, but is was excellent! On top of that, we noticed a lot is Asian people eat hear. That a good sign. Try this place out! You'll love it! read more

Adding to my previous review from 3 years ago. Just stopped in for a quick lunch after a morning of appointments. Still AMAZING. The Caterpillar roll is wonderful -- starts with purple rice, roll in the Unagi (eel) and add avocado on top. I'm in heaven. Just what the doctor ordered. The team on duty was very friendly and responsive. Yeah, food is getting up there in price. And that's why I go to a place like this. I know I'll get my money's worth! This place is way too empty for a restaurant this good. Hoping all the new homes just south of this shopping center (at 1-17 and Carefree Highway) will increase their traffic. Well worth it. Check the hours, because in the summer they are closed some days from 230-430. read more

Very disappointed by the food this evening. We have been to this restaurant many times over the years and have never had an issue. This evening we ordered over 100$ worth of food for takeout. My husband ordered the chicken teriyaki for 20$ and they gave us the smallest portion of chicken I've seen for a lunch order let alone a dinner. Very disappointed, please see attached picture. We understand that the economy has changed but this is ridiculous. read more

Echo Sushi - 20$ dinner chicken teriyaki entree - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I had a poke bowl and my friend had a sushi roll. Neither was edible. They both smelled and tasted overly fishy, which is a clear sign the seafood wasn't fresh. I told the staff I wanted to return the food, but they still charged the full amount and showed no concern at all. Even before I said anything, my friend commented, "This tastes fishy," and I realized I wasn't imagining things. I do not recommend this place. Honestly, if I could give it zero stars, I would. Do yourself a favor and do not go there. read more

I cannot for the life of me figure out how this place is still in business. We had a horrible experience a few years ago and vowed never to go back. I would give this negative starts if possible. We stupidly wasted $40 again today on the worst food ever. Truly the seafood ramen was, I'm not exaggerating when I say, the worst Ramen I have ever had in my entire life and that is including $.98 Styrofoam cup Ramen. The shrimp was so overcooked I couldn't even eat more than a bite. The broth was so under flavored it was almost like basic vegetable broth with no other flavoring. My husband got teriyaki chicken and it looked like it was a kids portion. The sauce was underwhelming and the chicken was overcooked. The rice was also overcooked. Can we please collectively stop giving these people money so we can get a decent restaurant there instead!? read more

Portions are very small for what you pay for. Food is tasty but $20 for a few bites of sushi is outrageous.

Quite expensive for a little shop. The two tiny pieces of sweet shrimp costed me $20. And one bowl of spicy seafood noodle is almost $30! We like their sashimi salad and ordered to go a few times. But when we dine in, the quantity seems to have reduced quite a bit not sure what happened. It's a good neighborhood sushi restaurant but the price is a bit high. read more

OVERPRICED. Sorry to rain on anyone's parade but these prices are insane. A handcut roll, typically $7, was $12! The quality was average - not super fresh. So I'm not sure why they think these prices are ok? It's 1 of a few sushi places in this location, so maybe that's why. Service was phenomenal. Our server was great and very friendly. The place was almost empty though & that should've been my first inkling. Will not be back. read more

We got an avocado salad it was huge, and two bento boxes they were huge too! Tons of food and everything was great. Service was fantastic and our food came out fast! I was excited to try purple rice for the first time and it was different in a a good way but if you write rice it's a big change, texture is like brown rice. The price of the meal was great we would go back!! read more

The beef fried rice and echo tuna tower are delicious! Small and quaint with friendly staff!

Excellent bento choices for lunch! The side dish items you receive with the main bento dish makes the bentos exceptional. The portions are huge and the price is reflected based on that. We got one teriyaki salmon bento and one spicy pork bento. We were amazed by how the big portions were when we picked up the food! We thought they were giving us four bentos based on how filled the bag was. The salmon was definitely over cooked and the spicy pork was also more on the stiff side. However all the rest of the bento dishes were amazing! Especially their sushi rolls and dumplings. Next time I definitely plan to get more of their sushi items rather than the meat or the cooked seafood. They are taking great precautions during this time and glad to see they are pretty busy. Highly recommend to call in order in advance for easy pick up during lunch breaks! read more
