Someone said the sashimi is "ovioulsy frozen" as if most sushi grade fish isn't flash frozen to kill bacteria. Anyways King Salmon is awesome. A nice casual place for good fish - my favorites are the chirashi don and hand rolls. I even recieved an extra miso soup the first time I went. Sort of unimposing in a strip mall in midtown but good food and good service for real! Just make sure you get there before the building fills up because it is popular! (no photos - sorry - but seriously, the chirashi don was super good) read more

I don't often write reviews so when I do it means the place is really good and this place deserves the best review!!! The sushi was so fresh and for half off all sushi rolls - the price can't be beat! Service was quick, great and friendly and most importantly quality was so good! read more

The food here is terrific, and the service is always excellent; they greet us with smiles! The ambiance is also relaxing. We always have a great time eating here. read more

Glad they moved in the Arcadia hood closer to our house. That way get it fresher for delivery and pick up etc.

King Salmon really surprised me. I live down the street and have driven by a thousand times, but I have my favorite sushi restaurants in Phoenix. I decided to stop in and give it a try. The rolls and sushi are super fresh, high-end, and they have great selection. The prices are half of what you'd pay at another restaurant for the same quality. It's a small, quaint place with great service. I'll definitely be going back! read more

I randomly chose this place through an app for home delivery. I wasn't expecting much, but what arrived is some of the best sushi I've had in my 7 years here. I am picky because I grew up in Hawaii and ate fresh fish. This is hands down the best and freshest I've had. To complement the freshness is their amazing taste We are very planning an in person visit. read more

Great customer service seems like everybody's having fun. Very affordable all the roles are 50% off. Lion king roll - 8/10 ( I actually came two days in a row and got this roll ) Scallop roll 3/10 ( the scallops threw me off. They tasted cheap and fake ) The fried avocado appetizer was really good with the sauce they gave you with it.. read more

This place is a must for sushi lovers. You just can't beat half price sushi rolls... plus they are amazing quality. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I don't remember the names of all the rolls that we tried but I was not disappointed in even one. The place isn't huge so go early, there is not a lot of seating. Whenever you're in the area give them a try. read more

Small intimate place - we snagged the only table for 4- they can put tables together but it wouldn't work for larger groups. Very sweet service by a nice lady. This place knows how to fry- generally everything was light and fried to perfection. Food: -Fried Gyoza 5/5 very good- perfectly fried and tender-thin skin- yes! -Kimchi pancake-good but didn't rock me. Need to be a little thinner 3/5 -Sweet and spicy Korean fried chicken-6/5 so good. Crunchy, sweet/salty and all the flavors are here -Udon- yum yum- really good broth and umami flavors 5/5 -California roll-3/5 - I don't like mayo mix in my crab-makes it mushy-cucumber doesn't come through for the crunch. - Red Dragon roll 4/5 do crab rather than the mayo crab salad -Phoenix rising roll 4/5 -Snow White 4/5 use crab!! -Rainbow roll 4/5 use crab- stop with the mayo -Suns 5/5 perfectly fried read more

Excellent Sushi at a great price. Highly recommend - 50% discount if you order online. Quality of food is awesome!

Can't beat the prices here. 50% off sushi rolls. Most contained cooked fish, fried items, or are entirely fried. They are pretty heavy with the sauces (eel, spicy mayo), so worth mentioning if you don't like it too saucy. The rice in these rolls were kinda mushy, and it was pretty inconsistent between rolls. Not sure why this was. Ended up w the Pacific Roll, I Love Crab, and AZ cardinals rolls. Nigiri isn't half off, but they were sizable and quite tasty. Rice was good, unlike the sushi rolls. Seared salmon, hamachi, and unagi were all tasty. Seared salmon had a layer of spicy mayo. Generous portion of fish, to the point you can't see the rice! A bit far from me, but would visit again if in the area. Wish the rice wasn't mushy in the rolls, and more like they were in the nigiri. read more

We were having some drinks nearby and happened to stumble upon Kings Salmon looking for something to eat. Well, lucky us!!! We ordered to go so didn't stay there. The place is small so I can imagine the wait can be long if busy. I ordered the White Dragon - that one has jumbo shrimp, spicy salmon, topped with crab, tempura flakes, spicy mayo & eel sauce. OMG! The flavor, the little spicy kick, the texture - 10/10. Husband is allergic to shellfish, and they had a decent amount of rolls with multiple types of fish- he got the Suns - it has salmon, tuna, hamachi, and avocado; deep fried with masago and eel sauce. He said it was one of the best rolls he's had. Their price is great - all with tax came to $21. Definitely a must try and will be back! read more

It's ok. Not great. There are better spots in the area to try over this one. Fish was fresh just too much rice with the nigiri.

What a great find! We live close to here and tried King Salmon on a whim. The prices are incredibly reasonable and the sushi was delicious. Highly recommend the spicy geisha and rainbow rolls. My partner lived the spider and supreme rolls. The rolls came quickly and service was friendly and fast. It's a small spot with plenty of 2-seat tables for a date night. We can't wait to come back soon! Thank you King Salmon! read more

20 bucks for 3 good quality rolls! They have 50 percent off on all rolls. It's a steal. Service is fast.

Only two people on duty as the wait staff at 12 noon. I was dining alone. It took a long time for the food to arrive and two other tables that sat down after me got their food first and after my food finally arrived no one ever came back to my table to check on me or to refill my drink. I come here often and this was very disappointing. read more

In a plaza with a parking lot. 50% ROLLS. A great marketing tactic to get people coming in. This puts their basic rolls at $3-5 & their special rolls at $9--super reasonably priced & of decent quality. Many business people stop in for a quick lunch or to grab Togo. I got the GYU-DON (BEEF) rice bowl & it comes with a miso soup & the 16 PCS LARGE ASSORTED SASHIMI. The assorted sashimi is definitely a bang for your buck. They were very generous. I got way more than 16 pieces. It was a variety of SALMON, TUNA, YELLOWTAIL, WHITE FISH, SCALLOP, & 1pc SHRIMP. The gyu-don was sweet, savory, & filling. I will definitely be back! It's a great casual, cheaper but still fresh sushi place. read more

In the mood for sushi or other Japanese treats at a reasonable price? King Salmon is a solid choice to satisfy your desires. Located in the heart of Central Phoenix in the former Lenny's location, this place is a Valley Metro Rail ride away. We visited this establishment for dinner on a Wednesday, and we were seated right away. The host was very amicable and the waiter was as well. I expected the dining room to be warm, as the kitchen is open concept, however it was pleasant enough to enjoy a meal. We ordered the takoyaki, chicken karaage, and 3 rolls. The chicken karaage was crispy and juicy and the 3 rolls were decently sized and prepared very well. The food came out very quickly although most of the tables were occupied. I definitely recommend this hidden gem if you are in midtown and want some sushi and other Japanese delights! read more

Meh. Wouldn't return. Found two hairs in two different sushi rolls. They remade it and then offered a free hand roll. Beef Bulgogi was like a 6/10 the beef and rice were kinda tough but had a good flavor. Asked for a refill on my ice tea & was told I'd have to pay for it. Crazy. Also the door shuts extremely slow so the cold draft gets in for like 10 seconds each time someone opens the door. Another thing is the menu is so weird it says like 50% off but has the normal price of things. Why wouldn't you just put the price the customer will end up paying? read more

What a great find. We went for lunch to this very cute little space and found sushi rolls were 50% off. We were greeted and seated as we walked through the door. Very nice waitress named Lily. We got vegetable tempura to start and a couple of different rolls plus an order of Salmon sashimi. Everything was delicious. The tempura was the lightest and crispest I've ever had. The rolls were small enough to fit in my mouth with generous amounts of fish and not just a rice bomb. The sashimi was perfect and generous. It isn't fancy but it is wonderful. I may go back tomorrow. read more

Edit: this review is from a week or so ago, I'm cleaning up my drafts yet already bud the rating and the photos! OP: Excellent food and service. Came with a coworker while I was on a work trip and wanted to find somewhere fab to eat. This little place doesn't look like much, nondescript and in a strip mall yet it was really good! I'll be back next time I'm in the area. Service and food were both fabulous! read more

Our favorite roll was the "Salmon Lovers" that is a definite must! Very fresh and smooth. "I Love Crab" was good, has crab inside and on top tempura style. "Arizona" and "Suns" were okay, too busy, no prominent flavor just a mash. The Inari Spicy Salmon was very good. The Plum Soju went well with the sushi. Service was okay. Parking available within the plaza. read more

I was a little concerned, when walking in it is in a little down town Phoenix strip mall. No concern once I ordered and got my rolls. The food is very fresh and roll design was impressive. Great food, service and friendly patrons. Worth the try, also priced very fair. read more

Absolutely love King Salmon. I come here every time I am in town. Very reasonably priced fresh sushi. The staff are nice and the place is always clean. Extensive menu but I usually get the California roll, spicy tuna, or hamachi. Last time, I ordered a Pacific roll and loved it. Miso soup is always very good as well. The seaweed salad is a little too sweet for me. Overall, a perfect refreshing healthy dinner. read more

The rolls are really fresh and are at a great price. We usually go with the basics, but that's what we like. If you like Nigiri this is the place to go. read more

Definitely recommend checking this place out! I came here to get some sushi since they have 50% off sushi rolls. I was immediately warmly greeted by all the workers, and I felt very welcomed during the short time I was there. I just ordered food for take-out, so I can't comment on the dining experience. My food was already made and ready by the time I went to the restroom and came out. I ordered a spicy tuna roll ($5 after discount) and salmon roll ($5 after discount). The rolls had so much fish in them!! I was surprised. Usually it's filled with other stuff like vegetables and a tiny piece of fish, but these were literally just a thin layer of rice and seaweed with a huge chunk of fish inside. I love fish and would prefer more fish over rice, so I liked my food a lot!! The restaurant is located in the same plaza as the Panera and Smoothie King - it's a pretty busy plaza, but parking is never a problem for me here. read more

Love this little location. Service was wonderful and there was an opening for us right away. 50% off rolls all the time which is great so it brings it a bit lower than a normal roll. Great size fish in every roll and the quality is on point. They even have bibimbop :) Good drink options as well, always love to see the beers I know and love available. read more

Saw on instagram they had 50% off rolls soo we knew we had to go and try it. We got the Arizona, central and Pacifica and they were all so amazing. I've honestly never had a such a great deal on sushi here in Phoenix and sushi that is actually good too! Place is cute and the servers were super sweet and had their own recommendations which I I loved! We will definitely be returning next week. read more

I have tried King Salmon a few times now, it's close to work and an easy pick up for dinner. Being pregnant I cannot have raw fish right now so I can only speak to the cooked rolls. I usually end up with a tempura California roll, shrimp tempura roll, and recently I tried their sweet potato roll. The sushi always tastes super fresh, rice is soft and the roll just melts in your mouth. The tempura California roll is delicious. It's lightly battered and fried, the crab inside is soft and so yummy. The shrimp tempura roll is a bit on the smaller side than what I am used to, but the shrimp is always tender and not over cooked. It's a solid go to and can't complain about it. The sweet potato roll unfortunately wasn't something I would go for again. For $9, it was tiny and wasn't filled with anything besides sweet potato. The sweet potato itself was tender and flavorful, but it was meh and on the boring side. Just make sure to check your order before you leave. Last couple of visits, I didn't get any soy sauce or chopsticks. Would definitely come back because of the overall quality. read more

We stumbled upon this gem last night. This is one of those killer hole-in-the-walls where the owner's adorable young child shyly pops over to your table with the waitress before scurrying back to her iPad in the back. No wait for a table for 4, killer "happy hour" prices (50% off all sushi rolls Monday-Friday), and delicious fish. We had the Central and D-Back specialty rolls as well as the basic salmon, yellowtail, unagi, and rainbow rolls, which was a perfect amount to fill up our group. They have fresh wasabi too! The miso soup was so good that Mark H. had two cups of it. I know he's planning to make this one of his new lunch spots. It looks like they have a $20 sashimi plate for 16 pieces, which seems like an excellent deal. I'll probably try that next time! read more

Whenever we fly out of Sky Harbor we stay in a hotel and order sushi. This is the first time I would order again. Really good sushi. We got a variety of rolls and a Musubi. We also were able to order steamed veggies and rice for our toddler and she ate it all. Rolls were on the smaller side but made up in quality. read more

If I could give more stars I would. As an LA native, I had my doubts about phoenix but good golly this is probably one of THE best bang for buck sushi spots I've ever been to.

Highly recommend this amazingly, surprisingly quality joint for an even greater steal of a price point!! read more

King Salmon - 5 piece tuna nigiri + tuna roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Me and my family eat here almost every week because we cannot get enough of the outstanding food and service! All the workers are wonderful and greet us when we walk in, and it genuinely is just the most pleasant restaurant experience I've had out of all the places we've been around Phoenix. The tempura shrimp and salmon nigiri are the best I've had, and I can't eat them anywhere else because I know it won't be comparable to King Salmon. Overall, this is my favorite restaurant, and I cannot recommend them more. read more

I was in Phoenix for leisure, and I tend to search out sushi, even in landlocked states, because I like to feel lucky to be from California where there is no shortage of good sushi. King Salmon was where I choose to try because they advertised M-F all day, 50% off select rolls, hand rolls, and other various items. Now, 50% off sounds nice, but in reality, you know there's a let down somewhere. Let's get onto the food! I ordered one roll, and two handrolls and my company did the same for her portion. The roll is like a roll at any other sushi roll place, being sauced a little too much but still edible; however, for 50% off, the size definitely corresponded. It's unfortunately, because we really believe we were offered less, and the regular menu prices are a bit high, so there is no way they can charge regular price for what we got. Anyway, in terms of hand rolls, relatively simple and easy, but stick to salmon and avocado only. Don't say I didn't warn you! We tried the hamachi and spicy tuna hand rolls, and both were disappointments. Overall, our meal cost about $60 which is average for what we got, so where was the 50% off? LOL. This restaurant definitely plays trick on the mind! read more
