    Volcano
    Igor Z.

    One of our family friends recommended this sushi spot and they were spot on. The location is nothing fancy but inside the restaurant is cozy and inviting. They tend to get busy so check in on Yelp and get on the waitlist. We were seated fairly quickly and the sushi chef was able to provide his recommendations and also advise on what would be good to try according to our tastes. We had the Las Vegas Roll, Spider Roll, Lollipop and volcano as an appetizer. Out of all everything that we ordered, the Volcano and Spider Roll were the tastiest. The lollipop was wrapped in cucumber and it's an acquired taste. The Las Vegas roll was our least favorite. The fish in the rolls was fresh and didn't have any fishy aftertaste. The sushi restaurant didn't disappoint and would satisfy your craving for some delicious sushi. The only thing I'd say could change was the menu to have some sort of visual representation of what the rolls look like.

    Amazing Food and Service! The food is so fresh. They usually have a wait time but it goes by fast.

    Date night! Our second time here and this place is still amazing! We were seated at the bar this time and we got to watch the chefs make all of the sushi. This place is always busy and rightfully so! The waitresses were attentive and the food came as it was ready. We were brave and decided to try their Wagyu sushi and it just melted in our mouths. It was such a cool experience! I wanted to try the cold soba dipping noodles. The sauce was great and the noodles didn't stick to each other so dipping them was easy. Then my boyfriend got the bento box dinner and this was so worth it! You get to choose two protein and then it comes with miso soup and a small house salad, rice and seaweed salad. To finish off the night we both got a sushi roll and they were just perfection. We can't wait to go back!

    Hiro Sushi Salmon Roll is a small portion of salmon but a good tasting order. Caterpillar Roll this is so precise, the caterpillar has antennas and eyes, very creative and fun Spider Roll very well made with a good amount of soft shell crab, this is the real deal. Teriyaki Dinner good generous amount of teriyaki chicken (all white meat), a little lite on the Teriyaki Sauce, but a good meal Teriyaki Appetizer is a lighter version of the dinner and is by itself, no rice or condiments, good size also. Top quality ingredients, fish, sushi. A big thumbs up

    Geoduck salad!

    Small, packed, and no reservations, but still one of the go-to sushi spots in town We squeezed into Hiro Sushi for dinner (literally, tables are that close ). The sushi was fresh overall, though the uni wasn't quite what we hoped for. But the bluefin tuna and toro nigiri was amazing. They open at 5 PM and there's already a line by then, so go early if you don't want to wait. It's not fancy, not spacious, but if you're here for quality sushi and quick service, this spot delivers.

    Got lucky with a spot at the bar since it can be a wait to get in. The chefs were super friendly, and the sushi itself was absolutely delicious. My friend went with the sushi dinner and I did the tuna maki, tamago nigiri, and to try something new, I added some octopus nigiri. Cool spot, there are more things on the menu that I want to try so I will definitely be back

    Super fresh sushi, great prices, and lightning-fast service! The fish was melt-in-your-mouth good, and the rolls were creative and delicious. No long waits, super friendly staff , perfect for a casual dinner. A hidden gem for sushi lovers! The edamame was a bit oily but the garlic was legit. The scallop roll was crispy delicious and the spicy crispy tuna was my favorite!

    The food here is really good! I ordered the sushi dinner ($28) and thought it was well worth it. It came with miso soup, salad, a tuna roll, and 8 pieces of sushi. The sushi was fresh and tasted like it was good quality. We arrived a few minutes before open at 5 pm and we were seated right when it opened. If you come at 4:40 you can put your name on the waitlist early. If you come with a group larger than 2 people I recommend doing that.

    So good. Every. Time. Incredible quality, variety, value and hospitality every time. Very busy so plan accordingly or get on the Yelp waitlist as you approach the restaurant. Not much more needs to be said. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words so check out the new photos and see for yourself.

    I have went past this location for several months and then decided to stop in for lunch, and I am glad we did! Hiro Sushi is a gem for sushi lovers looking for a cozy and intimate dining experience. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, with a nice sushi bar that allows you to watch the chefs expertly prepare each dish. The sushi itself is incredibly fresh, offering a great variety of options to suit every taste. Service was another highlight, making the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. If you're looking for a relaxed yet high-quality sushi spot, Hiro Sushi is definitely worth a visit!

    by far my favorite sushi spot in AZ. sitting at the bar let us have the best sushi chef serving us and making our rolls right in front of us. we got plum wines and let him pick his favorites off the menu for us to try. everything was a solid 10/10. its such a small lowkey spot, not too loud, and not a lot of seating which was nice because it felt intimate and Japan inspired for sure

They have a table or two outside but they're not setup for outdoor seating, fyi. The restaurant is nicely decorated and dark, which took some getting used to. We were greeted warmly and chose a booth towards the right. I had noticed their lunch specials offered M-F 11-2pm so we both ordered from that menu. I got the L/Cali+Shrimp Tempura Combo: California Roll (Half Size), Shrimp Tempura Roll (Half Size), Gyoga(3PCS), Miso Soup. My companion got the L/Rainbow+Dynamite Combo: Rainbow Roll (Half Size), Dynamite Roll (Half Size), 2PCS Nigiri (Chef Choice), Miso Soup. Our soups were brought out pretty quickly and our food not long after. For the price point ($12) and quantity, my lunch special was definitely worth it. It came with 10 California rolls, 5 shrimp tempura rolls, and 3 gyozas. I was pleased to see their gyozas have chicken in them, usually they have pork so I can't eat them. I love their purple rice - so unique. I don't think I'd tried it before and it was good. All of the items I tried were fresh and flavorful. Service was great and I was surprised it wasn't busier during their lunch hour. Maybe later on or dinner gets more of a crowd. I'm glad we tried out this spot and I'd love to come back!

I also ordered salmon skin and here is where the star deduction came into play. The salmon skin was served to me the way I asked - no rice, no sauce, no vegetables - BUT, it was burnt. So if I do go back, I would probably request them NOT to cook it so long. I ordered my husband a spicy tuna roll and a spicy salmon roll to go. He said the spicy tuna was good but the spicy salmon wasn't - it was as if the salmon quality that was used was poor.

We were very sceptical at first but the recommendation was spot on. We were seated right away and our server Bela approached immediately. She was very friendly and went down the menu telling us all about the specials and her recommendations. We needed no recommendations because we were there for one thing the Bei special. The special was an assortment of various rolls assembled beautifully making each piece stand out. The first bite was divine and as we worked around the ring of rolls they got better and better. The sauces brought perfect harmony and complemented the fish. The sushi was incredibly fresh not having the fishy order lingering. The rolls melted in your mouth like butter leaving you satisfied. It was so good we placed a second order. Bela stopped by frequently checking on us and also telling us about the restaurant and the area and provided a friendly atmosphere that you do not often get in northern Midwest. The Spider Roll was very good except for the sauce on top that did not suite our palate but after removing the sauce it was fantastic. The Hot Mama Roll was also amazing. The flavors went well with the Yuki Mango Nigori Sake. We also tried some of their beers and spent a while catching up. Belas service was second to none and made this reunion fabulous. The sushi at Bei was better than 95% of our sushi restaurants in my state and the price was very good. They also have a cute cat robot that delivers food!

I love Japanese food so my decision was made. I drove over and parked in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (3.5/5): I've been to Japan and there are plenty of izakayas there. Think of them as small bars which often serve solid food. Zu fits that bit. It's a relatively small restaurant, probably seats about 30 people. and it's pretty no frills for a Japanese spot. I was seated at a booth in the corner of the restaurant. They have free WiFi which is always a good touch. Service (3/5): Service was friendly, though a bit inconsistent. My waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. The type of service where you have to flag them down to get what you want and to close out. Drinks (4/5): Zu has a nice menu of Japanese and Korean beverages, including sake, soju, Japanese beer, and more. With that being said, I just had an iced green tea. Food (4/5): I got a nice variety. I went with the Japanese sausage off of the grill menu, the OBI mayo roll off of the sushi menu, and the cheese corn off of the appetizer menu. Let's start with the sausage. It's a small item, two small sausages, but absolutely delicious. The sausage was bursting with flavor and basted in a sweet sauce. Minus the portion size, perfection. The cheese corn also hit the spot, but the execution was off. The corn is served on a hot platter, and unfortunately some of the corn on the edges was badly burnt. The type of situation where they should start over. Which they didn't. Lastly, the OBI mayo roll is essentially a California roll with marinated warm shrimp on top in a mayo sauce. I didn't love the hot and cold combo (shrimp and sushi), but outside of the temperature, it was a delicious roll. All in all, a very food meal. My only gripe with Japanese food is that it can get expensive quick. Given that Zu is in Tempe, I was hoping that prices would be a little cheaper. With that being said, they do have a solid happy hour (and reverse happy hour) with both food and drink specials. Next time I stop by, I'd like to check out some of their Korean options. I focused on the Japanese stuff this time (which makes the majority of the menu). Next time around, the bulgogi is calling my name!
