Minnow has been on our list for a while so we were hyped to finally stop by!!! We sat outside and there was plenty of comfy seating. Service was quick and friendly; it super easy to order at iPads and grab a number. Here's what we got: -ube matcha w oat: 8.5/10; pretty purple color but tasted kinda like the earl grey one?? had to mix up the cold foam a lot which helped bring out the ube flavor -early grey matcha w oat: 9/10; delish, if you like early grey you'll love!! not overly sweet either -ceviche: 7/10; solid fresh fish, nothing crazy though, the pieces of fish kinda fell off the chip bc they were chunky -swim break: 9.5/10; super fresh ingredients and yummy roll, def our favorite bites -citrus: 9/10; very unique lively citrusy roll!! We will be back. Minnow def has lunch date vibes, come here during noon and get a matcha and some rolls! read more

The filipina barista with the micro bangs will make you one of best matchas you've ever had in your life. We got the amarillo matcha and the mango sticky rice matcha at her recommendation and trust, we will be back! The amarillo matcha is perfect for people who like a less sweet matcha. And the high dive roll with shiso leaf was a standout! very unique and delicious roll. read more

What a neat stop. I've heard about this place for a while so I wanted to try it. Great inside outside seating, very pretty Greenery inside and come see looking booth-like seating outside. They have screens where you can order on your own or you can start a tab at the bar so that you can add on as you go which is what I did. I let them know I was starving and asked to haste in my niece's soup and Ceviche minnow appetizer then I followed up with the top catch people with rice and greens. Miso soup was lukewarm. It had quite a bit of seaweed and tofu which I love. The ceviche appetizer was great! Very fresh. Loved the avocado and octopus especially. A bit bland on flavor but easily fixed with ponzu sauce and lemon. Finally the topchef chirashi...i loved the chewy seaweed greens and consistency of the bed of rice. There wasn't as much fish or variety as Id hoped and very little octopus. Maybe 2 tiny pieces and that was why I had ordered this to begin with so a bit disappointed especially given price point. Nevertheless overall a great and healthy meal, very fresh. A higher price point for a quick, casual sushi spot but good nonetheless if you don't want a more formal sit down meal with service. I appreciated the option to open a tab send order until I was full. For presentation Id recommend alternatives to cardboard for the soup and Ceviche. read more

08/04/2026 Met up with a friend for dinner here during Chef's Week, which came with a bento box, a sake bomber to share, and desserts. We got: Edamame Cucumber Salad Bluefin Nigiri Swim Break roll Red Dragon roll 22 oz Kirin + Hot Sake Strawberry Corn Cookie Chocolate Chip Cookie All of the food tasted so fresh and flavorful. We didn't expect to get so much sake. It was a lot more than needed to go with a 22 oz bottle of Kirin, but we enjoyed all of it! Both cookies were delicious too. It was my friend's first time here, and he liked the food so much that he ordered some to go as well. Their matcha drinks are so good and I wanted one, but it was too late for caffeine. They also do bagel sandwiches for breakfast, so I definitely need to go back to try one and get a matcha. read more

Cute, chill spot! Came in for a matcha, which you order at the kiosk. I've had their coffee before, and it's good too. I haven't tried the sushi yet, but it looks good! Casual neighborhood spot with good music and a relaxed vibe. I used to come here when it was another coffee shop, and even before that when it was Provision. I've always loved this area! read more

I arrived around 12 PM and there were a few people in the restaurant but the set up is just order at the kiosk and pick up your drink at the counter. I ordered the Amarillo matcha which is just a corn matcha latte. It was definitely pricier than I would've liked ($7.50 for a 12oz) but I was hopeful about the color. The matcha flavor was definitely there but was on the milkier side. There were also corn pieces in the latte which I would usually be okay with but it wasn't really whole kernels, more so just the husks of the kernels so that threw me off a little. I got the latte half sweet which I usually get since I don't like sweet drinks but I think I would get full sweetness next time because the milk taste was strong. Overall, Minnow wouldn't be my go to matcha place but I would be open to trying more drinks in the future since they have so many unique flavors! Rating Amarillo matcha: 3.5/5 read more

I stopped by this morning and had a great experience. I was greeted right away by everyone, and I noticed they have kiosks at the entrance to order, though you can also order at the bar. I tried the crème brûlée iced matcha (half sweet), and it was perfect. If you are a matcha connoisseur, you will love it--it's strong but balanced. The strawberry sweet cream bun was also excellent and not overly sweet. There is a decent amount of both indoor and outdoor seating available. I definitely plan to return for dinner! read more

Minnow - Sweet cream milk bun, crème brûlée matcha - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I've had my eye on Minnow for a while now, but since I don't go to this side of Phoenix often, it took me over a year to make it. I had an event nearby so it was the perfect opportunity. The interior is very vibey. There's ample seating indoor and plenty more outside. The staff greeted me right away. There are kiosks by the entrance where you can place your order. I ordered the following: Blanquita (sushi) $15 Strawberry cream milk bun $4 Earl Grey matcha $8.50 My order was ready in ten minutes or less. The Blanquita is a spicy yellowtail & cucumber roll topped with yellowtail, Minnow salsa verde & green onion. It can be made gluten-free, which I requested. It was deelish! The early grey matcha was nice and balanced. I would get everything else again except for the milk bun. It was just okay in my opinion. read more

I've been here several times, and Minnow has never disappoint. Minnow combines two of my favorite things: matcha and sushi AND they're both so delicious! My favorites are the mango sticky rice matcha, and the red dragon roll! They also usually have a special/deal going! I always recommend Minnow to anyone who will listen! read more

Thanks the Arizona Restaurant Week for opening my eyes (and appetite) for allowing me to try this cute, modern place! For a second, I thought I was near a beach watching sunset and gossiping with a friend lol! Love the self-serve kiosk idea. The chef was right there helping my friend and I figuring out the best options possible, when my brain was screaming "GET THEM ALL!" Really, I really did feel that way! We ended up ordering the bluefin nigiri, the sides were edamame and cucumber salad, the main rolls were citrus and red dragon. Every bite made my tongue dance and I was trying so hard not to make weird noises (half singing). It's embarrassing to admit, but I haven't had great sushi in a while. The dessert was chocolate chip cookie and strawberry corn cookie. No pics because we ate them in 10 seconds! Last but not least, the ube matcha was yummy! I liked it and I'm glad it didn't taste sour/too bitter. read more

Minnow - Blackberry matcha - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Tasty and Quality Sushi! I went during happy hour and some of the deals were pretty good! Some of the rolls we got had a spicy kick to them, very delicious. They also had a lot of cool spin on matcha drinks. I ordered an iced latte, sweetened with pistachio milk and ube. One of the best coffee drinks I've had in a long time. I didn't go during a busy time in the day, so the service was fast. We ordered a lot of dishes and drinks and everything came out in less than 10 minutes. Also, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The space has both an outdoor and indoor area. It's spacious and clean. I'd come here again, worth a try! read more

If you love sushi and matcha, this is your spot! The Ube Matcha was a dream. Perfectly sweet and salty, with the perfect balance of ube and matcha. It was truly perfection. Ordering was fairly easy, with the staff nearby to kindly help. The whole place, both inside and outside was very clean. Food came quickly and was prepared nicely. I tried spam for the first time, and while I'm not to sure if I'm a fan, all the sushi was so incredibly fresh and delicious. And, besides the ube matcha being the star of the show, the banana bread coffee cake was absolutely incredible. I fear I could eat it every day. The prices were amazing. I can't wait to make this my new go to spot for matcha sushi. Truly the best of both worlds! read more

Had this place saved for awhile now and was in the area so I was finally able to check it out! I went in for matcha, I was so indecisive on what to get because everything sounded so good but the friendly staff definitely helped me make my decision! I had their blackberry crush, it was perfectly tart and delicious!! Matcha was the perfect color so I already knew it was going to be amazing. The weather was beautiful so my friend & I decided to sit outside and enjoy the sun for a bit. We had a great time!! Next time, I need to try their sushi!! read more

Minnow has an absolutely top tier happy hour!! The deals are pretty darn good for the area, and the cocktails and delicious! I love that they are all batched. The staff were also sooo fun and nice. They let us sample some of the drinks. The patio is really nice! It was a decent size and was shady too, so I could see it being great even into the summer. The inside was cute as well. The sushi was pretty good! I really liked the spicy scallop and veggie roll a lot. I would get those again anytime. I think that the speciality rolls that we ordered were good but not as good as the classic rolls. The flavors were a little muddled imo. Likewise, the rolls were falling apart. Delicious, but unwieldy I really want to come back and have the matcha one day when I'm in the area. Highly suggest Minnow if you love sushi and cocktails - I feel like this place is for sure going to blow up. read more

Delicious matcha!! So colorful and delicious. I need to try the sushi next. Just wanted to say great matcha.

I was surprised by the vibe of this place--it's more laid back and casual than I expected. I liked that, though. Ordering through a kiosk and taking a number was easy enough. I would say the prices here are about average for sushi in the area. Their selection of options is nice, not overwhelmingly large. We tried a few different special rolls. Their veggie roll and their eel were my favorites. Their matcha and Hojicha beverage options are great, and I could see myself coming back for just a drink. I'd recommend this for a nice weekend lunch, especially with the patio seating. read more

This place was DELISH! We went during restaurant week and got a GREAT deal. Everything was amazing. The food was perfect and the rolls were got had a bit of a kick. The cookies were phenomenal, the strawberry cookie had a bit of a corn bread texture that I loved. The drinks were all terrific. We tried the yuzu cocktail, the matcha martini, and a banana matcha latte. They were all perfection. I will be back for just a matcha or matcha martini!! read more

So this is a new spot in the area that I've been meaning to check out for a while. Still haven't tried the matcha since I went for happy hour. The sushi is fresh and tasty and they had some good happy hour deals. The cocktails are all premixed but were still good. The indoor space is kind of chipotle style where you order and grab a number. They a nice little patio though with misters. Nice little spot that I'll go to again sometime. read more

Was in the area and decided to try this place out via their restaurant Week menu options. It was an amazing deal for 2 cucumber salads, an order of nigiri, 2 rolls and dessert. I placed the order to go and they had very convenient parking right in front of the window to pick up. The food was amazing, fish tasted really good, can never go wrong with a cucumber salad. The person who handed me my order was really nice and my order was ready when I arrived. There is good amount of parking available too. Would definitely return to try their matcha next! read more

Minnow - Restaurant Week menu with blue fin nigiri, cucumber salad, red dragon roll and blanquita roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Being a matcha bar, I had very high expectations for this place. Here they serve both sushi and matcha, and you order what you want at a kiosk. It wasnt very busy when we came, so there wasn't much of a wait. We ordered a mango and black sesame matcha at the kiosk, then went to the bar to watch them make our drinks. Each matcha drink was whisked to perfection. In my opinion, the matchas tasted just ok. You can tell the quality of the matcha is good, however I have had better tasting matcha. It is a bit grassy, and could have been a little sweeter. read more

Ordered pick up from their restaurant week menu. The box was super cute and spill/mess proof. There wasn't any wasabi or ginger included though. I really enjoyed the blanquita roll as it was a bit spicy. The seaweed salad had a smoky taste, and the cucumber salad had great flavor. I also got a raspberry matcha, which was really good too. The pickup window was cute and made picking up the order easy. read more

Just happen to be driving by the other day and saw this place. I thought I would stop in and try it out after looking over the website. I noticed they had happy hour prices from 8 to 9 which is perfect for anytime I need to head out for a quick bite in the evening. My son loves sushi and lower prices always help with the amount he usually eats. This place was casual and affordable. Nice and clean. With a nice patio. I look forward to when the fireplace is lit. Everyone was super nice! And the service was fast. If you're looking for a casual sushi place this is a great option in this area. We went for the traditional spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls. Tasted fresh and had a nice little mild kick. 2 for $12. We also ordered the red dragon which had a great spicy and sweet flavor to it. The swim break was my least favorite. I think it might've been the sauce. I liked it but I think it would've been better if it had been drizzled over instead of poured over. It drowned out the flavors of the fish. I will definitely come back here for happy hour. And look forward to trying some of the other specialty rolls. There's a lot of interesting sounding mixes. read more

Let me start off by saying the matcha was amazing. I'm super picky about my matcha because a lot of places are either too sweet, all milk, or super grainy/chalky. This place was none of those. May have found my go to matcha spot in Scottsdale. The reason for the 4 stars is the food is nothing super special. I got the California roll and edamame. California roll is similar to what you can get at an AJs but a little fresher since the roll hasn't been sitting in a fridge. Edamame was way too soft and lacked any flavor besides the salt sprinkled on top. You also need to pay extra for ginger, wasabi, and sauces outside of soy sauce. Overall, I would def come back for the matcha but prob skip out on the food! read more

This place literally never misses. I haven't had much food but I just had their egg sando and it was so amazing. What really keeps me coming back though is their matcha! read more

I came back to try a matcha latte again and ordered an egg sando too. I had to knock off two stars from my review because I found them to both be underwhelming. The matcha latte (I ordered an iced matcha latte with sesame cold foam) had way too much ice in it and lacked flavor. It was very expensive too (over $6!). As I sat drinking it, I kept thinking about how I could do a better job making one at home (for a much lower price too). The egg sando was basically egg salad on a hamburger bun. Granted, the bun was a little softer and fluffier than an average hamburger bun, but I think this kind of sandwich works better on slices from a loaf of milk bread. Again, something I probably could have made at home. I am interested in checking out their sushi sometime in the evening, but won't be coming back for matcha lattes in the morning (because I'll just stick to making them at home!) read more

Hello Minnow. Welcome to the neighborhood. I was upset local favorite Provision closed, but was excited a trendy new sushi/matcha spot opened. We came in for lunch on a weekday. We ordered matcha drinks and shared 2 rolls: the blanquita and saguaro, 2 non traditional rolls with a Hispanic twist. The blanquita which had a salsa and saguaro which contained nopales. We had difficulty ordering as the kiosk froze. A nice employee was able to assist us at the register. She was great! Excellent customer service Both rolls were decent, what was a little bizarre was that we found 2 bones in the blanquita roll. I've never seen that in sushi before.. The atmosphere was buzzing on a weekday, but overall, OK experience read more

Minnow was shockingly great. I didn't know what to expect but the ambiance is clean, refined and fresh. The service is good, you order on a screen and a server delivers your food and drink. No frills, nothing exceptional but it gets it done. The food is where Minnow really shines. The sushi rice was so fresh and tasty. It was delicious. The fish was equally fresh. Overall the sushi was priced affordably and two people ate for under $25 which is a good deal. I don't think the miso soup was a good deal however, it was somewhere around $5 or so and was pretty lackluster; not only was it a really small portion for the price, maybe 2-3 spoonfuls but it didn't have any treats like silk tofu or nori if you're accustomed to that. It was simply just miso broth. I'll certainly be going back to Minnow in the near future and I hope to see you there! read more

Got to check out Minnow on their grand opening! Such a cute spot and combination of a few of my favorites things: Sushi AND matcha! The community itself was equally exited, as the inside space was full and their was a consistent line while we were there! The space itself is small, featuring a few sizes of tables form two tops, four tops and a larger community table, As well as a small bar area. They also have a nice large covered patio with a lot more seating, but not the best for those toasty summer days! The moment you walk in, you will find the sushi area to your left, and two kiosks right in front of you. You can order all your items here and then have a number to talk to your table for them to bring out your order. We tried the rainbow roll and the spicy roll with yellowtail. As well as their matcha cheesecake, chili crisp scone, the miso matcha and the inner child matcha. Everything came out timely, even while busy. They have a self service station with sauces, chopsticks and anything else needed. Both matchas were good, the inner child with the banana being much thicker than I anticipated. I enjoyed the miso as well, but not sure if I would get it again. The cold foam was good, but could have used a tad more sweetness in it, to balance the drink overall. The cheesecake was delicious and such a great treat that was balanced well with the yuzu and strawberry jam! The chili crisp scone was a bit of a letdown, lacking flavor, very dry and just did not hit the mark for us. I had much higher hopes for it! Overall, such a cute concept, great stop for a quick and delicious bite or just a matcha fix! I look forward to returning! read more

I counted down the days till this place opened up and I was finally able to stop by on Saturday. We arrived around 2:45pm and there was no line to order. A few of the tables were taken up by people who were already eating and some were waiting for their orders. We looked over the menu quickly and placed our orders on the kiosk. We ordered: One Philadelphia roll One spicy roll One Red Velvet Matcha - matcha, strawberry, white chocolate, milk One Miso Matcha - matcha, miso honey, milk, miso cold foam One Goma Matcha - matcha, vanilla, milk, black sesame cold foam One Blackberry Matcha - matcha, blackberry, vanilla, milk We sat down and it suddenly became BUSY as the line was even going out the door. The drinks were called out when ready and our rolls were dropped off at the table when ready. Both rolls were great. They were fresh and well made. I had the Goma matcha latte and it wasn't my favorite. It literally tasted like salty milk, nothing else.... The favorite drink from the group was the red velvet one as it was the right amount of sweetness, and you could really taste the red velvet flavoring. The inside is small but cute. The patio area has a lot more seating available but its way too hot right now to sit out there. Hopefully they install some misters.. The employees we interacted with were nice, will be back! read more

We read about this new place in Phx New Times. I added it to my list to check out. And when I went into the Yelp app to bookmark it, I saw there already were some reviews. Minnow didn't officially open until today, July 8th. However they had their friends & family + soft opening over the holiday weekend. We went on Sunday. Arrived around 1pm and was told there is zero sushi or food menu items available. Bummer! So for that, I have to give 4 stars. It was disappointing and I was hungry. But it's understandable, they were running a 50% F&F deal so I'm guessing people before us just went to town on that deal. I had planned to. I saw people in there with large trays of sushi. It looked pretty tasty. So, we had to pivot as there was no food available besides pastries. We tried the burnt miso poundcake and banana bread. I was looking forward to the match cheesecake but that also was sold out. Pound cake was dry, and I thought a bit plain. I did enjoy the banana bread, even more so when I brought it home and microwaved for 15 seconds, added a little butter. It was SO good warmed up. We tried a few different matcha drinks. The hot ceremonial matcha was real nice. Smooth texture and matcha flavor that isn't too bitter. Ceremonial is supposed to by the highest quality of matcha one can drink. It was very good. I really liked my iced matcha/ ube drink. Great matcha flavor with a nice ube sweetness. Derek Y had the standard iced matcha latte and the one with strawberry. I liked the strawberry one better. Definitely a cute little matcha/ sushi spot. I would like to come back and have a bite to eat and enjoy what appeared to be nice quality sushi. read more

SMALL FISH IN A BIG POND This restaurant sounds FISHY. A seafood restaurant named after a freshwater fish? I had to investigate, so I came for the soft opening because they were offering 50% off their menu. With a deal like that sure to make a splash, naturally, when I came here midday on a Sunday, it was like a school of fish with all the bodies swimming around. Everyone took the bait for their promotion and sadly they were out of sushi by the time we got there. So then I had to settle for some drinks from their green tea selection. The MATCHA GREEN TEA drinks were not very sweet, as I am used to the Asian tea shops where the drinks are like a dessert. I liked the UBE better than the GOMA and the RED VELVET because it was slightly sweeter than the others. The green tea itself seems more highlighted in their drink recipes. I appreciate that they have Ceremonial Green Tea which is the highest grade of green tea and an appeal for real green tea lovers. The BARLEY TEA BANANA BREAD was also light in sweetness and the tea flavoring did not stand out to me, but it did taste fresh. Everything is seemingly subtle and light in taste here. It feels like the almost a purist approach to the flavoring of their menu. This is a very small place, with a few bench seating type tables inside and can fit about 20 people. The patio is actually bigger than the inside. You order from a kiosk and grab a number marker and they call out your number to pick up at the counter. In a very cut throat, saturated market, Minnow is another spot to add in the Pond of sushi restaurants. But their differentiation is that it is a sushi restaurant with a coffee shop vibe. Seems like a good place for a quick stop-and-go type of restaurant, as well as a chill place to hang and chat over some comforting food and drinks. An updated review will follow if I make it back to try their sushi. Until then I will just keep swimming, just keep swimming. read more

Inside is super cute and there is a lot of seating outside. Parking is a little limited, have heard of people just leaving after not being able to find a spot. Matcha is mid, very expensive and overall wouldn't satisfy someone who knows their matcha. Sushi is great, the rice is extremely well seasoned and their selection of rolls is unique and fun. I enjoyed all the rolls I got. Workers are nice, they bring your food out to you after ordering at a kiosk read more
