    The all you can eat sushi is amazing and such a good price for what you can get. The vibe and service are always great as well.

    Service is always the best--fast, courteous, and friendly. The food is excellent, and great value. This is the first place I think of when I don't want to cook.

    Sauce aftermath

    Decent sushi option if you want to fill up with the AYCE and don't care about high-quality sushi, but the orange chicken was not great. The lunch combo came with chicken fried rice (no flavor), and a small crab rangoon and spring roll. But the orange chicken itself was drenched in sauce. I absolutely love sauce but this was overdoing it. As another Yelper mentioned, their dishes are way oversauced, which then ruins the flavor.

    THICK sashimi

    I've never been here, I had to call ahead to make sure there's no dress code and there's not lol. I was hungry but not too too hungry. I was thrown off by how cheap everything is here! I ordered chicken katsu (no curry :( ). I wasn't expecting much for $14, until they came out with 2 large cutlets!! The wonton soup had 4 wontons in it and it was very tasty! The soups were our favorite! I really want to try the house wonton now! We got spring rolls, hoping for the healthier option we see lately, but got fried ones. The sashimi we ordered were so THICK!! We definitely ordered way too much food! The check was about $52 after taxes and we got a lot of food! This place is definitely worth it. And they have all you can eat sushi and sashimi for $34.95/person. I think I may have filled up on water when I drank 6 glasses. Oh, everything pretty much comes out all together, so there's no real break between soups and appetizer and main course. The ladies waiting the tables were very tentative, refilling water, removing empty plates and replacing condiments. Definitely recommend this place if you love sushi and sashimi!

    I have never had a bad experience here. I order to go usually and it's always delicious. Never had food poisoning from raw fish which I normally order. I love the Philly hand roll. They use slivers of salmon and not cubes thankfully and it's delicious. I even got a free drink which was very nice. And they always read my notes and super accommodating. I don't really like red tuna and every time I ask to have it not included they listen! Just the attention to what I ask for is incredible. The restaurant is a bit small but it's cozy and wonderful. Perfect for date night or meeting up with some friends

    Food 9/10 would prefer my sashimi cut in thinner slices. Fresh quality though. Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10

    Sauce overload
    Brad W.

    Lunch special was cheap at under 10 bucks, but food quality left a bit too be desired. The chicken with vegetables was doused with so much brown sauce, it was inedible, salty and disgusting. They put a whole jar on top of the food. Spring roll was tiny and burnt. Not a good lunch.

    ALL YOU CAN EAT. that's all I need to say lol the service was great, super attentive since we got there and they took our order in right away, our server would periodically come check on us and take our new orders. Everything we tried was tasty and we would definitely go back. It's a small place but the outside seating was great and shaded and we truly enjoyed trying this chill place.

    Great sushi, outstanding service , my favorite spot for a casual dinner , hot spicy edamame yummy yumm roll and cold Kirin Ichiban beer

    The most AMAZING yellowtail (hamachi), unagi, maguro, edamame, seaweed salad and tempura, not only in Phoenix, but even better than Tokyo!!! Thank you for a GREAT "late night" snack for Trish and I Cindy is the BEST server

    Iron chef is amazing. The vibe is like an underground eatery. Colorful lighting and friendly staff. They have a large menu of sushi, which seems to be their main go to, but they also have the likes of kung Pao chicken, Mongolian Chicken and other dishes. The food was absolutely amazing. The best Kung Pao chicken I have had in the state of Arizona. Upon returning to Phoenix I will definitely be eating at Iron Chef again and again and again. Solid A

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu. I also want to try their happy hour that's available everyday from 4-7PM. All the food items are only $7 and variety looks amazing.

The water glasses looked like what you'd make a tequila sunrise in (tall & skinny). Obviously with ice that type of glass doesn't hold very much water. Getting a refill and we needed several, was worse than pulling teeth. We had the bartender as the only employee left working. One time I had to ask four times for a refill. We also ordered beer and a whisky drink so we weren't cheap. The food was pretty good. The ticket time on my entree was about 10 minutes but the other two at our table didn't get their food for almost half an hour. No consistency. I may try this place again much earlier in the night.

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

    **July 2026: Thursday Night**…read more We wanted to end our trip on a high note so we decided to try Lom Wong, a 2025 James Beard Award winner! The fact that the restaurant was very close to our Airbnb, and did not require a reservation also felt like a sign to make the visit. The spot is definitely trendy, and parking was tricky. Uber/Lyft would be my recommendation, but there is a paid parking garage down a couple of streets. We didn't need a reservation since we had a small party, but I would recommend if if you're coming with a party of four or more. We sat at the bar and ordered four dishes from different categories, which was a great way to sample the menu; though honestly I think we probably could have gotten away with just 3 dishes for a party of 2. We tried Yam Mamuang Boran (old-style green mango salad), Boo Pad Pong Garee (crab curry with ginger), Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (dry tom yum with wide noodles), and Naem Khao Tot (crispy rice salad with fermented pork sausage). The noodles and salad were definitely my favorite though everything was seasoned really well and incredibly flavorful. What I loved most was how thoughtfully prepared everything felt. The restaurant has a really sincere, home-style feel, and you can tell the food is rooted in tradition while still feeling special and elevated. It was the perfect final meal for our trip, and I'd definitely come back again.

The biggest disappointment was the Arai Kodai menu option, where the kitchen selects the dishes for you. Unfortunately, the selections felt pretty average. We were served Tom Kha Gai (a creamy coconut soup), Kaeng Phet Charindia (a red curry), Papaya Salad, and Scallop Crudo. While everything was well-executed, none of the dishes felt particularly unique or showcased why Lom Wong has such a great reputation. Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could find at a good neighborhood Thai restaurant. The other downside was the pacing. Being to Thailand many many times, this is nothing we have experienced. We had barely received our drinks and taken a single sip, when immediately every dish hit the table all at once. Instead of feeling like a curated dining experience, it felt rushed and a bit stressful trying to juggle multiple dishes plus our drink: Karaoke king (which would have been good if I had a second to enjoy it) Overall, it was still a nice meal and great atmosphere on par with other Thai restaurants. My advice: skip the chef's selection and order à la carte. Just be prepared for the food to come out quickly and all at once.
