I haven't had sushi in a while, so I suggested this spot to meet up with my boba sistah. We got there a few minutes after they opened at 11am and had the place to ourselves. 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! read more

Mediocre but I'd be willing to try it again now that I know what I'm getting into. The salmon sashimi I ordered was spot on, and really good. 8 slices for $15 is also the best pricing I have found in all of Scottsdale. 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. read more

Kodo is one of those places that once you try, it becomes your regular sushi spot. Located a few minute away from the Scottsdale airport, it should be the first restaurant on your list as you leave the airport. They offer plenty of parking. Sitting options are plenty -inside and outside. The restaurant layout is inviting and the staff are attentive and knowledgeable. The menu is simple and offers a lot of sushi, nigiri and sashimi choices. In this trip we got some sashimi, a few rolls and the delicious Ahi Tower. Everything was fresh and tasty. The rolls we got were Blue Ocean Roll, Salmon Lover Roll and Mt. Fuji Roll. If you're in the area, don't hesitate to stop by and give them a try. You will not be disappointed! read more

Kodo Sushi Sake - yellowtail combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We came here for dinner and waited a bit since it was pretty busy and we were such a large group. They don't do reservations so you just have to put your name down on the waitlist. Plenty of parking since it is in a plaza. Omakase (4/5): This was 10 pieces of nigiri and a small side of sashimi. Honestly a pretty good deal since it was around $40. Me and a few other people got this combo and we all got different fish for our sashimi. I got yellowtail and it was fresh. here were some raw nigiri and some seared. I don't think they explained the different pieces to us. My favorites were probably the toro and eel. I will say that it took a very long time for the omakase plates to come out. Not sure if they were staggering it since other people ordered normal rolls and plates. The food was definitely good though so I guess I'll let it pass. Everyone else in my party enjoyed it too. This is a great dinner spot but come early to beat the rush. read more

Kodo Sushi is absolutely fantastic. I used to come here all the time when I worked in North Scottsdale and hadn't been back in years, so it was great to return. I've honestly never seen this place not busy during the dinner rush, which says a lot about the quality of the food, the employees, and the pride they take in what they do. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and a rainbow roll, and both were equally delightful. Big portions with noticeably more sushi than I expected, especially when compared to other places at similar price points. I can't say enough good things about Kodo from all the times I've been here. I'd happily recommend it to anyone looking to try a great sushi spot. read more

Kodo Sushi Sake - Spicy Tuna Roll, Rainbow Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

A hidden gem of a sushi spot! Came in with the husb on a Saturday afternoon so we were quickly seated. The restaurant is medium-sized and has really elegant and tasteful decor - woven basket lampshades, torii gate over the entrance, and a colorful accents throughout the space. Combine that with the dim lighting and it makes for a very warm and inviting space. I'm a Toro lover so I immediately locked in on their signature Kodo Roll that has seared Toro and was really stuffed with ingredients with just a thin layer of rice. Love that they use black rice here! I also adore riceless rolls wrapped in Cucumber so we also ordered the Oasis Roll. Very fresh and crisp. Paired really nicely with the vinegar. Paired our rolled with the veggie tempura and seaweed salad (my husb's must-order). I skipped lunch so I was still a little hungry. I decided to add the Mango Crunch Roll to get some food diversity as it had salmon. Another smashing hit! All in all, they pack their rolls with a lot of really quality ingredients, a thin layer of black rice, and present them beautifully for your enjoyment. Service was fantastic as well. Everyone was very attentive and our water glasses were never empty. If you're looking for high quality sushi, great service, and a warm unpretentious emvironment, you need to go to Kodo Sushi Sake! If I'm in the Scottsdale area, it'll be my mission to eat here again! read more

I had such an amazing experience here! The service was truly five-star -- the waitresses were so much fun and made the whole night feel special. We ordered several rolls and every single one was mouthwatering. The restaurant is small enough so you can see the sushi bar from your and watch the chefs make everything fresh, which adds so much to the experience. One thing that really stood out to me was their rice options. Their brown rice and especially their purple rice are incredible -- and all of their rolls come with purple rice! It's unique, flavorful, and makes the sushi taste even better. This is the kind of place you come to for both the food and the vibe. Highly recommend! read more

My family, friends, and I have come here to eat quite often for the past couple of years. Ever since we found this place it has been our go to sushi spot. They offer countless kinds of rolls and sides as well as the best spicy edamame I've ever had. The service and ambiance is always great and they're typically very fast at this location. I had friends visiting from out of town and they absolutely loved this place. They've been talking about it ever since. My favorite role here is the Las Vegas roll and it is perfect when it comes out. When my friends were here they tried the natto and they said it was good if you're into that kind of thing. We also had the dynamite roll and crazy roll, which is my family's favorite. Overall, this place is the best and we've been coming here for years and will continue to do so. read more

Great, delicious sushi made fresh before your eyes and pleasant service make this a must eat at location for sushi. The sushi dudes and dudettes behind the fish counter are focused and yet attentive if you sit in front of them. They do a massive amount of carry out. They do have some Japanese apps available and maybe two bowls of noodles and that is it besides sushi. And they do sushi right! read more

I would give more stars if possible! Super delicious high quality sashimi. Inventive rolls. Great miso soup. This is our new sushi place! Hooray read more

So so good! And absolutely love the prices! This place did not disappoint! It had been on my list for quite a while. And I was honestly really pleased with the quality in all of our rolls! overall loved that everything was super reasonably priced. They do the purple rice similar to Harumi downtown, which I love! I forget what they used to dye it but it's just a little something extra and all of the flavors were so great! I will say they definitely do team style service. So you don't really get individualized attention from your server. But they were still pretty timely with any requests, and I felt like the food came out pretty quickly, and we went on a Friday night! read more

I ordered take out for two (4) rolls - the combo roll which is 3 choose ur own mini rolls with dynamite, rainbow, shrimp tempura and an eel cucumber roll. I love a combo roll since I like to try a bit of everything and it's hard to do so ordering solo. Rolls were ready really quickly and labeled nicely. Dynamite roll (3/5) it was just a bit too saucy so it made the roll a bit too salty and hid the flavors of the fish Rainbow roll (4/5) enjoyed the fish and it was fresh - their crab meat is with mayo so felt heavier Shrimp tempura roll (4.5/5) my fav roll of the night, shrimp was fried fresh! Eel roll (3.5/5) unfortunately immediately got some bones from the eel but it was tasty and once again was a bit too saucy Overall rolls were really fresh but could use a bit less sauce as it overpowers the flavors of the fish and crabmeat. It's great americanized sushi rolls! Since I ordered take out, can't comment much on ambiance but service was friendly! Food (3.75/5) Service (4/5) Value (3.75/5) read more

Sushi is always amazing! Service is always really good too. Fish always seems super fresh.

Absolutely one of my favorite sushi places in the valley. Everything is clean, service is nice and quick, food is delicious. The OMG roll (the one that comes out on fire) is delicious and our family favorite. It has the perfect toasty flavor on the outside. We've even ordered this roll and packed it home for leftovers and ate it! The spider roll is also so crunchy and so fresh. Don't be turned away by the purple rice! It's a unique but it doesn't change the flavor of the sushi in my opinion. The yellowtail carpaccio is also delicious - we like to save the sauce and dip our rolls in there. The nigiri usually comes with fresh wasabi (not the colored horseradish paste) so if you're not a fan, I recommend asking them to take it off. Bathroom is one stall but it's also plenty big for anyone who has ADA needs! read more

Last night we ordered take out off of uber eats and we simply selected the best overall feature. Uber eats does not lie. We've had several sushi restaurants in the area for take out and this was hands down the best tasting sushi we've had in north Scottsdale so far! They also labeled each roll making it easy to know! I live about 15 minutes away from the location and we had our order In under an hour. read more

Yummm!!! We didn't realize this was a sister company of Harumi which is our fave sushi place in the phoenix area. They had essentially the same rolls and everything was so so good. The price was also very reasonable for how much we got! The restaurant isn't as flashy as the downtown Harumi but it was still nice! Our waitress was really sweet too. Definitely would recommend!! read more

Decided to try this place again after 2 years. It's still rated very highly and I thought maybe we missed something. Wrong. I have had bad sushi before and the fish here is good, but the rolls literally have no flavor. We tried 5 different rolls - the spicy tuna, spicy salmon, shrimp tempura, havana roll, and oasis roll. All were completely bland tasting, including the specialty Havana roll which we paid $17 for. It sounded so good- mango, jalapeno, habenero sauce and it was so disappointing. How can anyone make that wrong? Probably the best was the oasis roll which is wrapped in cucumber and not that purple rice, I'm not sure what the hype is because the rice did not taste good. We left the restaurant still wanting to satisfy our sushi cravings. I can't understand how so many people can rate this restaurant 5 stars. I give it 2 stars because the service was good. We'll be going back to our usual sushi spot from now on. read more

Scottsdale, AZ Went here with friends. We all enjoyed our time as the staff is attentive and friendly. The older female who takes water, drinks and more to the tables, is a workhorse. She never stops working and finds something to always keep busy. Kudos to her! The rolls were very good. Not perfect as a two if the four rolls were not wrapped tightly. Therefore falling apart between my wasabi and my mouth. I give this place 4.3 ginger stars. read more

Favorite sushi in AZ. Service is always so great, the seared toro is an absolute must everytime

The sushi is Outstanding! We were very surprised as the restaurant is very unassuming. Not a date night place, not much ambiance, but the sushi is authentic, original and delicious. The service was prompt, and we had ordered the special sushi that they set on fire tableside. The presentation was a surprise in itself and the server did a fabulous job of presenting it. We will be back, and, we will bring friends. read more

Went here for my anniversary dinner with my wife and we loved the place. The service is very fast and waiters are extremely accommodating. The food is great too! Make sure to order the OMG roll!

Found this place from searching yelp. Then saw someone had posted on social media. So we thought we'd try it. Glad we did. We put our name on the waitlist via the yelp app. Friday night so we assumed they would be busy. Host checked us in. He was super friendly and said we would be up next. Immediately greeted by multiple people. We asked about a roll that we saw someone order next to us. We ordered a shrimp tempura roll, the mango roll, dynamite roll, spicy edamame, and some hot sake. Food came out quickly. Was very delicious, fresh, large portions, and very reasonably priced. The spicy edamame was SO good and I already want to go back for the mango roll. Definitely recommend!! read more

Kodo Sushi Sake - Dynamite roll and shrimp tempura roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

What can I say about Kodo? How about delicious and CONSISTENT. Their menu is fabulous, we always order the Miso soup, the Spicy Edaname, Yellowtail Sashimi, Salmon Skin Hand Roll & the Mt. Fuji Roll. The soup is always served hot and flavorsome. Kodo does an excellent job on the hand roll. The sashimi portions are thick and generous. What we love about this place is the unique way they attend to the customers. EVERY staff member attends to EVERY table, if they see you need anything they are quickly on it. They don't have a designated table or zone. My ONLY criticism is the glasses they use for sake bombers. They need WIDE mouth beer glasses so it's easier to drop the sake shot in. They have 2 Scottsdale locations, both are great! read more

I haven't been kodo sushi in a couple of months and the quality is still top-notch. This time around I got the H3 roll, dynamite roll, and the mango roll. My favorite roll was the dynamite. It was packed full of flavor and really fresh. I came during dinner time so it was busy. Unfortunately, kodo doesn't take reservation so on arrival you have to be placed on the waitlist if there are lots of people waiting. Kodo is such a good sushi restaurant not just because of their food, but also the service. read more

This is some of the best sushi I have ever had! Went here for date night and it was fantastic! First time dining here and the vibe is chill and romantic. The servers all work together to take care of the tables so you won't have just one server helping you. All of them were attentive and helpful. For appetizers we got the gyoza and veggie tempura. The gyoza were very good but the tempura was okay. The best appetizer we got was the sexy crab. It was crab and veggies cut into strips and wrapped in seaweed. They had spicy ponzu sauce little drizzled on them and they were the perfect starter. Then for our entrees my boyfriend had the Finding Nemo. It was 10 pieces! The spicy Mayo was very strong but over all a good roll. I got the yellowtail.com and it was the most perfect dish for me! Yellowtail is my favorite and the dish came with four pieces of sashimi, four pieces of nigiri, and then four pieces of spicy yellow tail roll. Then they have fresh wasabi and this completed the dish. I have found my new favorite spot that is close by and I cannot wait to go back! read more

Such a nice place for a quick lunch. We sat outside & it was a beautiful day outside (it's covered tho). I got 2 rolls which were both massive. The fish was super fresh & I like the sauces they put on it. They also have fresh wasabi available which is so unique. I love fresh wasabi. I think the chefs are Korean so it's not super Japanese authentic but it's good for rolls & lunch specials. The servers were attentive & checked in on us even thought we were outside. Not too expensive too! read more
